    Ugh. So sick of my weeping face… it’s sloooowly getting better but this hot weather is pretty hard. Cursing myself and my nighttime stupidity every day. Everyone starting work early Monday and Tuesday in order to finish early. I can’t because school run. So I’ve got Monday off that I know of because there’s no point in them having me go in for a couple of hours. Possibly Tuesday as well. Nice but need the moolah. So between cursing myself and being skint I’m a miserable bitch lol. Going to look at animal pictures 😄

      I used to suffer from it. For the longest time no one would work out what it was.

      Now I know what it is after a decade.

      Hope they’ve given you antibiotics for it and you may need some cream or something to go with it.

      It’ll get better with some time and proper rest with those meds.

    So the praying mantis is still hiding in my studio. I believe it’s a male and I don’t have the heart to tell it its head could be devoured upon sexy time. If it were smart it should get a little mantis helmet.

    It is doing a wonderful job with flies though.

    Hilarity from the Other Place. No you should not ask your Ex to use a clone a Willy kit! Reminds me of the running bet I had with myself about how many pages into a thesis by a male sculpture student I could get without finding a replica of their cock.

              I have a strong distaste for nonconsentual exhibitionism. Maybe I’m a touch prudish, but keep it to yourself or goto a sex event. I did security at sex events years ago, that’s the place for it.

    Spent the day with a close mate. Sat around talking all day in front of the aircon. Was fucking awesome! He’s a really good guy, super chill and has a very grounding presence.

    I’m going on a blind date with a friend of a friend of his which could be really cool. We have similar interests which is always nice. It’ll be an interesting experience regardless of what happens.

    Hope everyone is doing OK out there ❤️

        Going on Thursday night. I’ve found a nice bar down south Yarra to grab a drink and see if we get along.

        I pretty much talk to anyone and everyone who I feel wants to talk so meeting new people is always fun regardless.

        We’re both part time musicians so there’s plenty to chat about.

        I don’t go with any expectations and I think that’s the right way to approach things. Always up for making a new friend :)

    Stop what you’re doing, it’s time for an icy pole. And a drink of something non-alcoholic. Even if you just finished an icy pole, have another one please. Or an ice cream.

        By all means drink all the alcohol, if you fancy. But please drink plenty of water too, or soft drink or whatever. It’s so easy to dehydrate in this weather, and alcohol makes it easier.
