Something small 😅.
I currently just have an actual bin with a ton of mulch that I put my dead plants in and give it a little water sometimes. Has been working fairly well for a couple years now.
I know there’s ‘proper’ ways to compost but I never really got into it because it feels like overkill for the amount of compost I actually use (there’s already basically a never ending supply).
Any suggestions for a small setup?
A friend of a friend of mine lives in Beirut and when Israel started bombing the city he got told “yes, it’s a shame your neighbourhood got bombed, but we hope you understand that we try to keep normal life going in these times so we are expecting you to come into the office tomorrow”
I also use !gm for Google maps and !w for Wikipedia quite a lot
Me and my wife hosted new years eve with friends, was a lot of fun but holy fuck I’m tired. Gonna try to make the most of the rest of the week.
There’s a family event on Saturday that I’m really not looking forward to. Meeting relatives you never talk to etc. It’s been mentally draining me so much, I don’t think I should go, if only for mental health reasons. But it’s hard to cancel on them because I feel guilty for never seeing them… So the cycle continues.
Hell yeah, slay that rib
Going through the holiday motions until I finally get some time for myself.
I’m making a dessert for dinner at my parents today, gonna try to not address any of the family drama or instigate more of it. Although I’m sure the others wouldn’t describe it as drama but rather ‘just how we talk to each other’. Anyway, day after will be dinner at my wife’s dad which is luckily always comfy and unproblematic.
Then finally time to rest 😴
Tbh there was a certain tipping point (about 15 mins in) where I realised I’d seen enough bizarre shit on screen that I wouldn’t be surprised by anything else anymore. After that, I mostly just laughed. Especially the ending was very monty python-esque to me.
Got a lot going on and I’m ready for xmas break. Watched jodorowsky’s the holy mountain yesterday, wtf was that lol
Thank you for the helpful words :)
Went on a lovely little weekend trip with my wife last weekend and we had some serious talks. I realised I’ve been dishonest with myself about a bunch of things. The common denominator is the fact that I’ve never really learned to talk to people about things I struggle with. Even though I’ve been doing fine in life in general, I’m really starting to see the boundaries of what friendships and family connections can be when you’re always trying to keep the peace and never bring anything up that could sour the mood (in my mind, anyway).
Something to work on, but it’s scary. Maybe I’m more afraid of being rejected than I’ve been telling myself I am.
Nothing to apologise for tbh, sane people did all they could
Sigh ok :(
Time to sleep, hopefully when I wake up the USA isn’t at civil war 🤞

I hope things will get better for you once the job and team position crystallises a little more over time. Sounds like a not great position to be in, but it could work out ok given time.
Hi legally Audrey :3
Had an intense weekend. I went clubbing twice and now suffering the hit on my immune system at work, oop.
Starting to figure out a way to talk to my friend about her self neglect and poor handling of her friendships. Sometimes life is a lot easier than I think it is. Just have to talk to people about stuff, it doesn’t need to be the perfect conversation each time as long as I’m bringing up the subject I guess.
Not entirely sure yet. I’m going to go for some things I tend to wish I had fresh when I’m buying them for cooking, like thyme and sage. Maybe oregano and basil too but I think I might use too much of that to grow it myself. My balcony can only hold so many plants 😅 Herbs for teas are a great use. Do you have suggestions? My cousin gave me some homegrown lemon verbeina a couple years back and I loved that so maybe I should try growing some of my own.
