Frustration taken out on yard, we now have a compost bin. w00t w00t, the worms shall feast!

(its twin is still sitting on concrete as a spillover 'cos our green bin is gonna be running hot for a while...really feeling the pain of moving to a council that hasn't done weekly green waste pickup yet)

Ages ago I impulse-purchased the best earbuds you can pretty much get (WF-1000XM4) thinking I could force myself to enjoy them considering so many people like that format of headphone. I've been an over-ear enjoyer for many years and always felt like buds would fall out of my apparently little ear holes. They've been sitting in a drawer pretty much since I bought them but I'm once again trying to use them now that I bought some aftermarket tips which apparently help. Been listening to some folk music while doing the dishes over lunch and it has actually been alright! I still keep fiddling with one of them thinking it feels like it might fall out. Not sure how many others have this weirdness with inner-ear buds.

It is nice not having the weight/heat of the over-ears. I might take these on holiday and see if I can finally get some use out of them.

Meanwhile; kitchen is clean, mixed some chamomile & grapefruit oils into my diffuser and I have a cold drink. I'm ready for this afternoons meetings.

I've never been able to use ear buds. I've tried multiple types, including ones with multiple tips, and none of them work - they are either uncomfortable or fall out. I've just accepted they are not for me and now use over ear ones instead.

Ew just found out my best friend listens to Joe Rogan's motivational stuff. She's a messy person who falls pray to bullshit quite often so I can only imagine she's hanging on every toxic unhelpful word he says.

Still cooked dinner even though I got home late from work and felt super tired. A lazier me would have just gotten take out. Bolognese with garlic bread hit the spot. Iโ€™m now too full to clean the kitchen.

I feel like I ask bar guy how his day is quite often but I don't really get the same back. If I start talking about something, he will try to listen though.

Is it worth even bringing up that he doesn't ask?

[-] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago

If It's worrying you enough to ask that here, it is definitely worth bringing up.

Before bringing anything up have a think about exactly what it is that is worrying you. Is it just that specific question of "how is your day" or are you feeling that he is not showing interest in what you are doing in your life in general? Also think a bit about how your communication is going in general and whether the issue is about him not asking, or maybe a mismatch in communication style - for example if you tend to lead with a lot of questions straight away but he tends to have more space in a conversation before he initiates things, then the answer would be not just for him to ask more, but for you to also allow a bit more space for him to do so.

With a clearer idea of what the issue is it makes it easier to raise it in a problem-solving rather than accusatory manner. So using my previous example, instead of saying "why don't you ever ask how my day is going" you can ask something like "I feel like I ask about your day more than you ask me. Do I need to give you more space to ask things, or is there something else?". That is much less likely to get a defensive reaction, and more likely to lead to a productive discussion that can help improve things.

A bit of a chilly start to the day. 3.4 degrees outside, but at last it is not wet or windy, so with a jacket on the dog walk wasn't too painful. Looking forward to some sun later. ๐ŸŒž

Dinner was V2 vegan "meat" in a muffin with mayo tomato sauce and a bit of uncooked mushroom. There are three left. I stopped eating cheese, drinking beer and having normal breaded stuff since I wanted to lose weight.

I have such a weird relationship with food since nearly everything I ate at the last place was either the reduced whatever from woolies or veges I grew myself and made into stew. Can't be bothered with spending an hour prepping for just me.

I live vicariously through all of your lovely food pics and kinda drool sometimes.

Onto more 60s/70s music. Serge Gainsbourg is one of those artists I know I've heard somewhere and his influence is so pervasive across so many genres that it's basically a base flavour. But I never followed him up until now (yeah I know it's like not knowing the Beatles or something).

I couldn't believe Bonnie And Clyde - that smart backing loop with the whoop sounds like something out of the 2000s not the 1960s. And listening to Histoire de Melody Nelson is like going "oh THAT'S where all the trip hop and.... oh... oh wow it all started from here".

But my god I'm glad I don't understand the French lyrics. Between the awful treatment of women in his life, not crediting other artists (especially African sources) and the frankly vomit inducing hebephilia he's definitely one of those artists I wonder how to separate the artist from the work.
