Sleeping too much

Yep @Former-Member. I absorb everyone's emotions. Some days are worse than others. Even on here sometimes I absorb stuff but I think most of us do.

It was great you got out to do all those things and face the crowds.

Hi @Former-Member

Just thought I would say hi

I also absorb everyones emotions too and or try to take away other peoples pain.

I am trying not to focus on this tonight just want/need some light conversation.

I like to read the junk mail @TAB - it gives me something to think about - eg - if I was about to buy something or try something different-hobby wise

Well - you got a house - and it's Christmas - well - oddly enough looking at your list is kinda comforting and normal

Goodonyer mate. Now let's see if I can get a couple of little pics in here - which I like to make bigger and colour

Dec 🎄

Sorry Tab - I got a Christmas Tree but the nearest thing I could find to a house was a tent - not at all suitbable for the whole year - okay for camping - but man - you got a HOUSE - I love that

there is a house pic on iphones @Decadian but am on laptop at the moment.

yeah started raining yest, got wet couple times under back verandah lol ..climbed up for a look this morning,the gutter is tiny,ok roof's not that big, but whoever put the pergola thing on ..well I was just stunned, no overhang from upper roof, no flashing to protect against water going back, they just siliconed sheets directly onto gutter half way up .. hilarious unless sitting underneath it lol.. some people should just leave things alone lol, any other way, even other wrong ways would have been better haha ..was I supposed to get a builders report just to move into a rental lol ..will get over it. just funny .Guess landlord did it himself, half the doors in house dont fit/hard to close, main sercurity/screen door jams,wont close properly and has handle fitted upside down and on the wrong side so have to lift it instead of push down lol

have mentioned this stuff to him,he can pay to get it fixed lol

..anyway, overall, and catalogues xmas etc am pleased to be here. Spent literally an hour poring over catalogues,when in placeswith no letterbox, I'd even pinch them from other peoples houses while out on walks lol. lots nice shiny stuff ..well plus, havent got around to getting a tv yet lol

hope you are okay

meant catalogues that get stuffed into letterbox re junk mail @Former-Member yes used gaffer tape to hang a plastic tarp to make damaged blinds less see thru re at night, will sort properly ..well one day,the first thing tried to hang up was too heavy, so kept falling down,the last effort has stuck tho.

yeah didnt get around to roast, and not a huge fan of rosemary, although it is lots of front gardens, could pinch some if felt like it. just lots pepper and salt and stud it with garlic for me re roast.

still havent cooked it. should go and buy a toaster today lol, well re brekkie, making me hungry now .. well they left a kettle here at least but no toaster lol

Hi @TAB - rental accommodation - of yeah - been there - now I am in Government Housing and it has to be better than what you are looking at atm - I gather you feel you can either fix or endure that

When I was a fresh young thing in my early 50s I had some tools and bought some stuff from a hardware shop and fixed some of the stuff in the unit I had at the time - I was really pleased with myself actually - I had refused to pay the bond (and therefore move in) until they painted it - but it took 3 years to get new blinds and they were put in the day before my dd got married - as if there was not already a lot happening - and I was planning to move to a smaller place by then

Anyway - do you want the tent for now - while it's raining 🎪 - actually that looks like a circus tent here - oh dear - rain can certainly find its way in

@Former-Member - I certainly am a conversationalist - I could talk all day - I have a little thing I say that I could stand up and talk about anything anyone suggested for 10 minutes - and if I didn't know anything about it - I could talk for 10 minutes explaining how it came to pass I missed this part of my education

I am fine today - though I have had some dank sorta moods here and there - I am trying not to think about the shadowy parts of my life right now - but I am sure I will be overcome by them before I am through

How are you - I know you have anniversaries - mine in on Friday but I am trying not to think about it

I hear you

Dec

..talking can be a very good thing re 'light conv' @Former-Member I am alone with thoughts a lot,and others say isolated, 'want someone to join them at caff' eg ..was thinking the other day about alone vs isolated.. maybe being alone is a symptom or way of coping re things not being right ..

..and thanks for your reply yest @Former-Member I was chuffed

its a really old house @Decadian even has jarrah floorboards ..yes, held off on rent/bond well for best part of a week, waiting for a call asking had I paid and the plan was to ask them 'have you fixed' etc.. didnt feel right.. felt like was a squatter.. sent a few txts to landlord no reply then monosyllabic ..but then he rang and he just said get stuff fixed, let him know, receipts guess and deduct it from the rent, waiting to hear on the aircon tho.
