I can’t cope

@Captain24 it's just set routines that have to be stuck to. Unfortunately not, hoping i can work something out tomorrow. I just had a mouse run across my kitchen floor so I've set a trap up, it made me jump though 😂. One of my feral neighbours house is completely overrun by mice at the moment, it's honestly disgusting.

As kids, my parents chucked us all in the bathtub ever evening and we just played in the water lol. I remember sitting on one end of the bathtub, soaping the entire wall of the bathtub, then sliding down. We had so much fun and made a lot of mess lol @MissGremlin

But nowadays, I hate washing my hair. I have very thick hair and washing it is such a chore.

@Captain24 I can understand that it's what you're used to/expect from relationships due to experience... one of the strangest parts of recovery is having to get used to/feeling very uncomfortable initially with choosing the healthier path. It's okay if you're not there yet. Just something to reflect on if it comes up again, here on the forums, or with anyone important in your life 😉

The waiting is the WORST, I totally get you. As they say in AuDHD spaces, 'nothing ruins my day like a 3pm appointment' 😅

Yes yes yes!! This is wonderful to hear. I hope that you can also catch up on snoozles soon hey. The extra anxiety should subside in time, it usually does 🤞

Oh wow, sounds like a busy time in town huh? Is it an event you're interested in or does it just inconvenience you?

Nah freezer dumplings lol needed a convenient meal - can't really spend lotsa time cooking when I'm on shift!

Sending you some hugs @MissGremlin

It keeps me warm in the cold! It’s my work one. It’s no use to anyone as it has my companies name on it and mine! @tyme. I’ve got two others but this one is bigger and fits over my work jumper. I will have to see if they will let me order another one.

Im just doing diamond art. If I stop and watch tv or something I’ll doom scroll and that makes things worse. When miss gremlin is ready I’ll go and have a shower and go to bed.

They are from a dog treat man that comes to the markets. They are smoked kangaroo bones. There isn’t a lot of meat on them which is good. Enough to keep my dogs satisfied and chewing on it for hours and then the following days non-stop!

Ewwwww @MissGremlin ! Mice! I'm petrified of them!

@tyme haha sounds like fun.

Washing hair is honestly such a chore especially when it's thick..

Eeewww… I don’t like mice. I’m going to have to sort something out soon as we have a plague coming! @MissGremlin. We had one when I was building and a girl around the corner set up bucket traps and was getting 60-80 a night!

Do you have cooler bags or an esky?

Thankyou @Jynx, you don't know how much they are needed right now.

@tyme I'm definitely not a fan of them. Other than the ones I feed Zola but they aren't exactly running in front of me 😂

Hehehe @Captain24 , glad you have a pact with @MissGremlin 🙂 Accountability's always good.

Yes! I remember those bones! No wonder Pix loves them! I thought you were just giving her th raw stuff. I give Ruby chicken wings and necks to keep her teeth clean. She never gets treats really.

When's your next shift?
