I do not understand modern poetry at all. Just a mess of words that I cannot interpret. Am I poetry dyslexic? Is there such a thing?
Well, that was a bloody good nap.
Oh great meeting postponed. Dinner time
Edit: OK false alarm. No dinner yet
todays day 4 of having my wisdom teeth out. still have pain, but the swelling is gone atleast
I need some more lines to my Daddy Distraction song. Currently it goes: "Daddy Distraction, Dad-dy Dis-Trac-Tion, Dis-tract-ing (First name)!" And its a huge hit, I think due to the alliteration. But since there's only 3 lines I have to keep increasing pitch each go through, and I think the dogs are plotting against me as a result.
She has settled on Gudetama: An eggcellent adventure. It's talking food! I'm intrigued!
So apparently a realestate agent has saved the Paky pub. Thank god. There are so few GOOD drinking places out here its criminal. The only good options out this way are Urban Reserve and the tap house in Berwick, and then the Drake in Paky.
Idk if my tears are due to the chilli or the beauty 😢
Have done my compulsory nature staring, now I can return to the nest for some quiet time. Side note, saw a camper all the way from Harvey Bay (QLD), why would you drive down for some coastal camping in the middle of winter...
Damn this mood dip. I've been sailing for days. Drinking coffee to wake up a bit and get the oomph to be excited when my sponsor calls. Anonymous it may be so I can only say I'm very happy with the person who reached out. Ha, mood lifted and I still hadn't posted this. The oestrogen patches seem to get a little less effective on the 7th day. Mood lift though was due to calls from my sponsor and another person I've met in the program. It's a fair amount of work involved in doing it correctly so I'm glad I'm still on leave for a while. It was a completely spiritual thing meeting my sponsor. I'm starting to sound like people I was deeply skeptical of until now. Serves me right for trying to out think believers in a higher power.
I'm becoming a lot more empathic and relying on my intuition more as it's increasing in strength as well. HRT isn't just life saving, it's life changing and enhancing in ways I always desired in my dreams of being female. Lets just say when I see someone in obvious emotional distress it's fucking heartbreaking and I'm left exhausted afterward. But to feel like that I wouldn't change for the world and to remember it brings tears to my eyes again.
Cats got me up at 4am today. Little kitten sleeps beside me and must notice immediately when I wake up. He's such a little dynamo and really talkative so there's no choice but to get up and play with the little guy.
My volunteer work is so heartwarming at times. There's confidentiality involved so I can't speak of what help I could give, but it was pretty nice to have the privelege of being able to.
