Good night π
Some men wonder why their partners don't have sex with them much.
I'm here to tell those men, they need to cook dinner more often. It's in the Top 5 Actions that make men hot.
In unrelated news, my hot man is hotly cooking pork crackling for dinner, which he will then hotly turn into noodles with bok choy.

Don't get to full or you'll fall asleep before the "dessert".
back pain venting update
Woke up very sore this morning so decided it was time to see a GP (had only seen a physio before). As the pain is not worsened / activated by pressing down in the sore area, the GP suspects something deeper than a muscle issue. Got a blood test and x-ray done and some pain meds prescribed, now we wait. I am a little worried about how this is escalating, I really hope it's nothing serious but better to be safe than sorry. I have a physio appointment tomorrow but not sure I will go, I think I want to rule out a deeper issue via the GP first.
Meanwhile my work is piling up and I'm now realising running a business solo, how exposed I am if I am unable to work because of my health.
So glad you've gone to a GP and I hope you get answers quick! In the mean time may the meds give you some relief, but still don't push it! I'd skip the physio until you've spoken to the GP again.
Mr Woof thinks Dynamic lifter is fun-sized manure snacks. As I just spread 25kg of the stuff over the back yard he has been having a great time. I also spread 15kg of gypsum, then decided it's time to call it a day. Tomorrow I have to move the rest of the soil (about 1m^2^) to the back yard, level it off and scatter the grass seeds and a bit of fertilizer. Then it's just a matter of watering the seeds a couple of times a day until it sprouts and I should have lawn.
Edit: My neighbours pigeons approve of the grass seed. Hopefully they don't eat too much!
Because I deal mostly with clients I need a second Sim card or a piece of shit hand me down from work to use.
So I asked the other day and they bought me a new galaxy s25!
I don't know even know what to say at this point honestly.
I'm so glad you're being valued!
It's a fucking weird feeling lol
They value you, your expertise and your work.
And why wouldn't they?
I hope it's a big company and they aren't lovebombing you. That's cool that they gave you a phone! I have a relative who mostly deals with clients and uses their personal phone. They get calls from 6am everyday and on the weekend. Cherish that work phone!
It's pretty small. There's about 40 or so people.
They're super ethical with clients as well. It's really different.
And yeah I used to use my personal number. Fuck.all.that lol
My favourite pair of jeggings got a massive tear, seam to seam, across the knee. So I've cut the legs off, and hemming them to turn them into a cute pair of summer shorts :3
one leg down, one to go
Jeggings are the best piece of clothing EVER invented for women.
Hard agree π
That you did this rather than auto piff tells much. Good job!
Thank you! I have a row of back stitching to do above the hem I did, and then I'll trim the excess.
I love altering and mending over buying new! Especially as these are my fav jeggings and I'm not ready to part with them π I have a skirt that's too large and too small in all the wrong places on me, that has a nice flora pattern - I'll use those to mend the pocket on the jorts I've created π

When the man falls asleep while watching a show only to wake when it's over, I love to say "Bloody good show that wasn't it especially the end"? I wasn't watching it anyway. I just love to say it.
that's mean .....lol
It's a bit fun.
I'm sure it is. :)
Ooh Iβm going to pinch that
Sometimes I say "did you enjoy that darling"? Then when he puts it on again the next time, I'll say "but I've already seen it".
I think tonight might be a good night to see an aurora. I'll keep you posted. :)
Iβm so tiredβ¦ trying to stay awake
same
Second round interview is done! It sounds like a great place to work, tbh, and I think I made a good impression on them as well :3
If I get this job, it would be rad af

AITA
went to beach, played with some dogs, talked to some folks, found not many shells :) not a problem
and then the big dog
a big dog heavy came running at me and rammed into me, ok, but owner said nothing
then dog went back to owner
then dog did it again, i hear my spine crunch
I yelled at owner, stop your dog,
"he's just a 12 month puppy, i'm training him, he jumps up ( he did not jump up at all, he rammed )
( she didn't train him at all, she said nothing to her dog )
I'm disabled ( and I am, I have to be careful of my back). Owner acted like she was the victim.
"so am I. don't use that as an excuse"
i said, excuse for what?
she said, this is a dog beach, don't come here
I walked away
one, she didn't train or control her dog
two, it's a local beach, only half the people there have dogs
three, there are lots of different people at the beach
there was an elderly woman on crutches with her dog at the beach 30 minutes earlier, would it have been her fault if she was injured by the uncontrolled dog?
or the mother who was there with a baby in a pram?
i'm pissed
this is the first time I've experienced that at the beach
so my issue is with the owner
NTA. That's when it's time to pull out your phone and take some photos. People's whole attitude about this stuff changes once you start collecting evidence.
NTA. That's an awful situation and that woman is an idiot. Her dog will continue to hurt people. I hate that this happened to you!
NTA. I have had many active working dogs over the years and sometimes they can be overly energetic when young and stuff up (just like kids). But I would always be there, apologise, get the dog under control and reinforce training. And I watch other people to gauge whether they are up for rambunctiousness (how are they walking, do they have a dog etc) and try to minimise harm before it happens.
Anecdotally I have noticed some terrible socialisation of dogs in the last few years and more and more dipshit owners.
Yes sometimes at a dog beach accidents happen. And yes you can and should expect people to be responsible. I hope your back is ok
I had many large dogs as a kid. Biggest would be the Rottie x St Bernard people were scared, reality the most dangerous would be she sat on you
Many years ago I may have been scared. My parents , particularly my mother, did not teach us about dogs, only to be wary. I had to teach myself and now I love dogs and am not scared at all.
As a pup she looked like an Ewok. And I am still annoyed about her pissing on my alarm clock

thanks for validation
once is an accident, twice is not caring and being irresponsible
I feel like such a karen but I looked up the dog beach laws and the dogs have to be under control at all times. My beef was with the owner , I could see the dog was good natured but just not controlled or trained well. Note I talked to the owner and held her responsible for her dog. I didn't blame the dog at all, didn't yell at the dog, dog was just being a dog. I said No is all.
gees, and I was playing with four dogs at once just 30 minutes before that. ( they were all adorable, especially the very fluffy one who had such short legs it made us laugh when she would run) I really love dogs
I see so many families at the beach. That dog could hurt people.
I'm thinking when the weather improves and it's crowded every day other dog owners will start having a go at this dog owner and they will not put up with her darvo shit.
I hate that⦠one day someone is going to get seriously injured and sue her arse
The rule should be if you can't control your dog, don't take it off the leash. That's why my dog is not leash free.
Something about seeing freshly hatched babies out in the wild makes me happy. They're so...scrunched
Beach. It's a falling tide so it's a good time to go.
:)
The front yard is almost complete. The dirt is all down, I just need to sprinkle some grass seeds and water everything in.
The trees over the back fence are now almost all gone. It's a bit weird looking out the back window and just seeing sky.
before & after shots from slightly different angles
I can't see anything except sky over the fence if I'm sitting down.
