Ok now I'm low key panicking a bit.. I'll be working Monday and Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday for a time. Got to wrap gifts this weekend and prepare foods as much as possible. The family had a vote and apparently unanimously voted for my Basque cheesecake as the Christmas dessert instead of pudding or other traditional stuffs ๐ค

first a pic from my garden ๐ซ

Going to friends house for roast. I don't know what kind. Please pray for lamb but really I'll eat anything.
what a shit day, trains did not help
going into city, meth head at station playing chicken with jumping off the platform, super high scary, I called security
coming home, trains cancelled because thieves stole the copper wiring of the signally system , took an extra hour
shops I wanted to go to were closed ๐
At least dinner was good. Shout out to Green Fields Vietnamese on Sydney Road
They sell the copper for cash. It's not the first time the wiring was stolen from this area's train line either. There are a few kms where the train line goes thru parkland and industry that are basically so remote thieves can steal with little chance of detection
What did I get? Some rice paper spring rolls with mint and tofu, sweet sour chicken, special fried rice, green curry. It should last a few days. ๐
I just didn't wanna cook.
off to shops, when home will be making lists and timetables , I have the menu organised, just have to do the shopping and cooking
i'm getting a little excited, will be seeing friends for xmas and the young seagoons are coming on new years day ๐บ
I didn't get thrown off for being underage. Did anyone not survive the new regulations?
I sent this to the mods:

I've not yet heard back from Molly, though some have. Nath busy, not panicking.
Pilates with a physio was surprisingly effective if slow (noodle person). I lost it all over the time we donโt talk about and canโt really regain but itโs worth a try if you can afford it or get it covered.
Some years ago, I did Pilates once a week. It was great for tone and flexibility. I donโt know if it specifically helps with posture, but you know that wobbliness that you can get trying to do a slow controlled movement? Its good for that kind of stuff. It does take time and consistency though, not a quick fix. A lot of posture problems can come from lack of core strength, both Pilates and yoga would be good if thatโs where the issue is.
If youโre interested, tai chi has balance exercises. Canโt find videos of the drills I used to do.
The warmups or dao yin/qi gong are good for strengthening, movement control and opening up a slouched posture.
I wish I was able to go back to lessons
Edit: Also maybe make sure you donโt actually have mild scoliosis that never got diagnosed, because a couple of people I know turned out to
I am currently in peak hunchback phase but previously I've done well with both gym (super simple jog + upper back and shoulder machines) and yoga. Yoga I like because it builds strength but if taught well also helps your nervous system so you aren't holding on so tight. I've not been back to a studio since they all got so expensive after COVID but there's good YouTube stuff. Yoga with Adrienne is probably the most popular absolute basics and she usually has a 30 day challenge in Jan.
Edit for spelling
You can start with chair yoga which is really not scary https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1DYH5ud3zHo
yes, the gym is great as you have a coach/instructor
I suggest getting a gym buddy , they help you with getting exercises right and with motivation
also having a regular habit helps
I put on Mariah of my own free will.๐
Enlisted a friend to help move some junk from my sunroom as part of a Christmas clean up. It's so much nicer now. Rest of the apartment is trashed but I think that might be tomorrows problem. Am tired
Just heard Jathan Sadowski on an episode of Download This Show. I never thought I'd hear him on there. I was a little concerned when Rae Johnston was going to take over from Marc Fennel but she's doing a great job and is bringing more tech skepticism to the show than Marc's intended neutral tech news premise
Dear Universe, deliver me an excuse to get out of this "Party"

Can I please have an Advent calendar?
Hi chef! Pho with dumplings in it please.
Where is the rain. I was promised rain.
Dream:
I'm a killer for my crime family. I run into our competitors killer (who is also my ex) and she tells me she's dying from an injury I gave her a long time ago.
Once our guard is down we have a genuine conversation. She tells me it's a matter of days now till she's gone and I promise to stay with her until the end.
I go and tell my family, and they're overjoyed that she'll be dead soon.
I'm miserable about it.
I go and spend her last days with her.
We connect on a deep level, and I'm really torn up that she won't be around much longer.
She dies and I wake up.
Thatโs a heavy dream.
I had a dream that two world renowned psychologists were using me as a training demonstration for three of their students. They were going to cure me of my alcoholism by telling me a story but it ended up being a story about spicy fried chicken which I tried and it wasn't even spicy.
Day 1
Naps have become my new hobby. I'm "catching up on sleep". Certainly not falling into a zonk void.
Went to the new park I've been keeping an eye on because it's finally open. It's a decent area, certainly things that child have been done better. But more importantly, I need to check it out for riding to and from work, that's what I've been waiting for with this park
My New Vegas run involves killing Caesar's Legion whenever and wherever possible. I'm going to set them all on fire ๐ฅ
