#3GoodThings today. 1. A small group of Karak (red-tailed black cockatoos) visited my neighbours' tree, and I could watch them through one of my windows ๐ฆ 2. We moved a piece of furniture from the kids' room to my husband's room, and it suits the new spot much better ๐ช 3. One step closer to getting rats, with the furniture plan underway and the decluttering continuing ๐

Me: Man I'm doing so well, look at me go!! The house is way less disgusting and gradually even getting less cluttered, and the garden is slowly improving, and my flares are so short now!!

Lol. I did a Kmart order because the kids needed clothes, and I found one cheap and one super cheap natural-fibres top for myself. But when I saw the total cart cost I took out the cheap one because I couldn't justify $35 when I could just keep wearing my worn, holey clothes. Anyway, Kmart just cancelled the super-cheap top as well, I may not have even a $5 top ๐

Thinking about how being able to follow people from all around the world, living vastly different kinds of lives, is like a big collection of in-real-time solarpunk stories. Even if a bunch of them aren't lives I could lead myself, the value of the stories is immense - look at all these things which are possible! Look at all the positive actions and changes ๐๐ฑ

One of my favourite pens is out of ink. I'm not a fancy pen person, it is a random pen we were given as a company's branded marketing thingy. It looks like one of these: https://www.amazon.ca/personalized-pens-Black-Ink-ballpoint-pens/dp/B0CZTTRSHT Can anyone tell me how I could find the right ink refill thingies to match it? :/ Is there a super common kind that cheap branded marketing pens use?? Although not that cheap I guess, because it has been a Consistently Good Pen.

#BloomScrolling Pretty sure this one is a rock thryptomene, thryptomene saxicola. I had one in the backyard ages ago but it perished from shade and dehydration I think - this is out the front and hopefully this spot will be more successful.

Popped outside for a quick garden visit. Absolutely glorious outside today, refreshing cold wind barreling down the street and playing music in the trees ๐ Took a couple of quick #BloomScrolling pics - realised I'd never taken a photo showing the entire guichenotia macrantha (last photo), which is quite strikingly pretty in real life.

Had a good talk with my eldest about his symptoms. I think he's getting the same (presumably) lactate-overload driven leg ache that I get from doing too much or not enough lying down. I realise now I've not investigated whether that is linked to vascular compressions - I know it's linked to a problem with aerobic vs anaerobic energy production in ME. More reading to do - mostly typing this out to cement it in my brain & have something to come back to.

Shout out to all the perimenopausal disabled mums of neurodivergent kids, trying to hold their shit together because our kids need our help with emotional co-regulation, but underneath the coping vibes we could really do with some screaming and burning shit down ๐๐ป I harmonise my inner screams with yours ๐ฃ
