      so many hugs

      may I suggest a diary so you can see any patterns during the day that might be contributing to such bad sleep

        I might give that a go.

        I have one last possibility I can’t test until the weekend. If it’s not that then I’m at a loss.

        I can’t believe I’ve been functioning for almost a year without a full night’s sleep the entire time.

      I had a dream that I was in a car and we were all randomly stressed and then a little tuxedo kitten literally fell from the sky through the window on my lap. I think someone somewhere was sending me a hug.

      I’ve been craving a change for like a month now. New job, new phone, new bed new SOMETHING. Even just rearranging a room might be nice. i haven’t done it yet cause I’m trying to understand the impulse.

    Belated thanks to our local Witch for the motivation brew. It’s taken a while to kick in for me as it usually is, but here I am finally sat in the uni library with a blank Word document open! And a tab open to ChatGPT where I’m about to explain what my project is about and to please help break me out of my stupid block to just start writing.

      Oh that’s awesome! It’s so painful when you just can’t concentrate on THE THING. Once you find that trick that lets you lock in and focus its all go. Hope its a downhill run now

    Am listening to Mushroom Case daily.

    Anyone got an equivalent podcast for the Diddy trial? Stuck at home for a while, need trashy entertainment…

      The Trial of Diddy perhaps?

      Haven’t listened to it, but it came up on the search 😁

      The Case Against podcasts might be good yoo

    Tea really aint cutting it. Do I double down and grab another or do I just jump straight to coffee?

        I’m STILL craving a smoke bloody 10 years after my last one and i was only ever a drunk smoker (IE the worst kind, bumming one off mates). Addictive personality says maybe meth aint a good idea lol.

          Don’t be a weak cunt and fire up a crystal pistol mate!!

          I was a full on smoker and hardly get cravings thankfully. Even drunk.

          Occasionally I’ll want one when it’s a crisp autumn morning and I’m having a coffee.

          It’s a very specific craving

                Oh man, are you like my mum? She swears coffee only ever makes her constipated so she only has it when she’s got a case of the loose motions. I envy her, coffee (and even tea to some extent) is basically an automatic gut cleanser for me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s VERY satisfying in the mornings, but sometimes it gets a bit much. I can feel my gut being punched and contorted ahead between 2-20 minutes after imbibing that morning brew.

        blew nearly 60 bucks on food at gold class so decided to cheap out and go the tea. 2nd black tea worked fine.

    One of the boys had a fever and had to be picked up from childcare early on Monday. This resulted in the week up until now just being a fog of Trying To Get Things Done. Things are somewhat back to normal so we’ll see how things play out.

    I got Bazzite working on the old work laptop. Silly me didn’t disable Secure Boot. It loads straight into Steam Big Picture on startup, so I wouldn’t use this version as my daily driver, but it would be great for handhelds and loungeroom PCs.

    Also, Sleep Token have dropped a new album. I know some people on here dig them. I’m listening to it now.

    Anyone want a gratitude thread? I feel like I’ve been looking at life through a negative lens lately, which doesn’t really help.

    So I’m going to start this thread. I am grateful for the beautiful autumn leaves I saw on my walk today. I will show photos next time, as the ones I took today made my location identifiable to any georainbolts out there.

    Melbcat came over to a guest for pats and reached up trying to get in their lap! She needed to be lifted for a cuddle but after they got up she jumped into the empty chair independently.

    I didn’t think she was interested in getting up there anymore or had the mobility but maybe now I need to get a pet ramp and even buy a comfier (and destroyable) chair for her.

    I wish she’d take her 4cyte. That on top of the solensia and she’d be able to climb the walls!

    I was at a PD presentation today and then later on had a look at the Other Place (using my phone), and up popped an ad for the very specific thing the PD was about.

    I didn’t google anything related to the topic, and only used my phone to check messages a couple of times.

    That was a little too much of a coincidence. Bloody technology, snooping on me. Very creepy indeed.

      They say the apps don’t need to use your microphone to listen in and present you ads but this sort of thing happens far too often.

      One time my girlfriend showed me something on her phone and I started getting ads on mine. Either they’re listening or they’re scanning faces and delivering ads to known friends
