I am currently and slowly putting masking tape all around the big ornate mirror before I paint the frame. It’s very fiddly. After masking tape around edges then I’ll tape paper to cover the glass. I’ve never seen a window or mirror cleaned up well after paint drips so I’m taking a lot of care.
Reasons my stairs are not being done with a spray gun. It would take half a year* to tape everything off properly.
*Slight exaggerations maybe present
I considered taking the mirror out the frame but it is so big the risk of breakage is too high
I’m using a small detailing brush to paint the frame
so much work and I’m not even restoring, I’m just painting over the old paint but properly
still illegal to stick my bosses face in a puddle until the bubbles stop? Asking for a friend.
Only if someone sees you.
sneaky. I like it
and if you leave forensic evidence: hair, fingerprints, saliva, etc
Just be sure to use some Mr Matey so there’s plenty of bubbles.
YARRRRR
I don’t care how warm it is, I am wearing my hoodie in protest of climate change at this point.
It’s 9 years on and “oh hey, thanks for checking in, I’m 🎵 still a piece of garbage 🎶” lives rent-free in my head
That’s such a classic

I washed my hair. Made it through work. Left work on time 🎉 big batch of black beans in the instant pot to get me through lunches for the rest of the week. Fighting a stinking headache but life is feeling…beige today. Not black. I will take that.
hugs
one day at a time 🐱
but you are doing more than just that, you are making good positive efforts that make your whole week better 🌞
You absolutely smashed it today!! 🎉 That sounds like a win on a lot of fronts, much less to have to handle along the headache. Hope you can hit the hay early and it resolves quickly
Thanks mate. I’m out of whack. Good food and sleep will help I am sure
Good for you. Just clean hair makes s as huge difference
What the hell, it’s so warm outside?! Was expecting to be freezing on my walk home from work but no…
The weather’s broken again :(
I guess I’ll make the most out of it and try and leave work on time tomorrow for a nicer walk!
Such a beautiful night for a walk, that sunset was stunning!
it's been a year since I got dumped
This time last year, I was crying at the drop of a hat! Now I’m not! Woohoo.
In this year, I have
- seen a therapist who thinks I have autism. If I didn’t have a whole embarrassing emotional outburst to my ex, I wouldn’t have been able to find a pattern of shitty autistic behaviour, and doing so has helped a lot with the self-compassion side of things.
- worked on the tolerating uncertainty and fear of abandonment stuff, and having enough going on in my life to the point where I can recognise anxious attachment patterns and redirect formerly prominent schemas
- started music lessons
- tried meal prepping and group workout classes
- leaned on my friends and had lots of fun being silly
- watched many great movies (I think this was one of the best outcomes of the relationship besides all the lessons - he made me realise I’m a movie person, I made him realise he should be a better listener?)
- seen some live music - I want to see more
- grown into myself a bit more and felt a bit more confident in who I am
- realised that I’m masking a lot of the time socially and that’s probably why I’m always exhausted when I’m not hanging around super close people
re: dating, it would be nice to try again, but I’m kind of just hoping that works out in the background if it’s meant to. I don’t really want to go on the apps because I’m not photogenic, even though online communication is easier. Maybe next year, but for now, I’m going to enjoy my peace.✌️ and whoever comes into my life, whether it’s friends, acquaintances or a potential partner, will not take my peace away from me :))
Yay! What a great year. Big happy hugs 🤗
Hugs :)
Well said! Nobody ever claimed that growing up was easy, but you’ve been through the wringer alright. Props to you for realising this. You’ve got this in so many ways.
Cheers!
I can’t believe it’s been a year. You’ve extended yourself in so many ways! Good on you for taking a shit experience and growing through it 🌱
Thank you 🫡
Jesus that meeting was brutal, I almost fell asleep several times.
My pet hate is when someone does a power point and puts in so much information that the text is so tiny you can’t see it on screen…

Who in the almighty lord of fuck cares what that stupid fat mole thinks!? Fuckin embarrassing ABC even make this a “headline”. Who the fuck asked her for a quote? And since someone was obviously talking to her; why didnt they tell the pretentious turd to piss off out of the country whilst they were at it?! Jesus the media in this country is a joke.
it’s always gotta be “scare” with these fckin moles, they’re literally incapable of realising sane adults looked at their behaviour and decided to use their vote to stop it.
The funny part is she thinks she worked hard for her money, when all she did was inherit and steal/withhold money from her kids trust. She’s desperate for legitimacy, yet it’s the only thing she can’t have. Born with everything she’s ever needed, she has no idea what real people value. She has no value to us at all and she has no real friends. She is an empty vessel.

Tired. Ready for some me time.
Edit: I’m soooooo zonked. Wish I could crash now.
I’m right with you there! Almost can’t be stuffed cooking tonight but I know I need to.
I’m using up my old frozen gyozas tonight. No cooking nope.
Sounds good, noodles with it?
I’m going to use a tub of carbonara and a pack of beef ravioli tonight.
Simples!
Nah can’t be bothered with noodles tonight though I brought back some really nice ones from my trip.
Might hit up the shops for some quick pasta for tomorrow night, feeling like western food after 11 days of South and East Asian food
Ah fair enough, also I just reported the reply you received for spamming.
Yeah so did I. Makes up for not getting any election spam on my phone? 🤔
Let’s hope that’s the end of it and not invite anymore.
I didn’t get any spam either, my turn next?
sky pretty
Appliances Online price matching was very easy. I found a good price on Amazon but didn’t want to actually shop on Amazon. A few minutes on chat and I had $180 off. Very nice.
This means I am getting the upgraded toaster oven to the one I currently have, which has air fryer mode. My old one is getting very tatty and is just a standard oven, but I use it all the time. There are very few days I don’t cook something in it. I made the mistake of using a corrosive oven cleaner on it and it did not go well. It still works fine but the inner surface is now all visibly damaged.
AO has been really easy to deal with in my experience, praying that aspect doesn’t get enshittified…
