    Tomorrow marks a week since I moved into the new place. I’m feeling so much better, and feel like I’m in a much more healthy place mentally than I was in the last place. And honestly, a lot of it is just the little things, like being home alone, and having access to knives, and administering my own medication

    I trusted you, Goddess. I could have hung up my laundry indoors last night, but I remembered your comment saying today was going to be 18 degrees. So I waited and hung out my stuff on the line this mroning and it dried perfectly throughout the day. So - thanks! I’m glad I held off instead of having clothes cram up my house. Cheers!

    Spewing that I’m not in great physical condition now and can’t really garden. Seed libraries are around if anyone wants to try it.

    Also I’m not sure of the heavy metal in the soil (the tested map sites on either side vary) so I’d have to do raised beds which don’t move house well. And if I went outside the furry baby would either be crying inside or follow me out and take the chance to abscond. Melbcat’s a fully indoor kitty now.

    I know that leafy veg have shallow roots and require less light so maybe that’s a go, window box inside. Maybe more cat grass. Paris Market carrots are also very short and round for containers, I think root veg also need less light than fruiting plants. But I have to fork out more for either self watering pots or watering spikes for bottles because I’m not going to remember.

    It all adds up at Bunnings 💸 But I’m just trying to think of something constructive but not overwhelming while I feel like shit

    oh gees, that scene in Castaway where Chuck finally escapes the island on his raft. For the first time since the crash there is music. The heart swells. 🥺🥺🥺 Such a good movie.
