Hiya @Bow 👋😁

[Bow]

@Jynx  You have an ok day?

[Jynx]

@Bow yeah pretty chill, got some chocolate cravings so I went to the shops and bought entirely too much of it... woopsie. Haha how bout you?

[Bow]

Chocolate and chill sounds pretty good @Jynx 

went and got the groceries this morning, but no chocolate. Nearly all the groceries are snacks for daughter! 
Used the treadmill.

cleaned daughters room. Picked up a bookshelf off marketplace yesterday and need to make space. She really does not care about mess. Filled a tube full of rubbish. 
did a bit of art and then SW came to visit. 
then did some Lego. 

[Jynx]

@Bow haha is your D's room always a bit of an obstacle course? Sounds like ickle Jynx!! I was notorious for my messy room 😅

Sounds like a reasonably chill day! What Lego you working on?

[Bow]

ALWAYS! @Jynx It will stay clean for a day or 2 after I give it a clean and then the mess quickly returns. Drives me insane! Got step over random crap whenever I go in. 
I think I managed to keep mine clean most of the time… but under the bed needed a good clean every now and then. 
Now though, I need my space clean and organised. Cats losing their winter coat is bugging me at the moment! 

I got the London phone booth off aliexpress… so not technically Lego, but it’s still pretty good, and cheaper. 

you got much planned for the rest of the week?

[Jynx]

@Bow haha yep sounds familiar!! Now as an adult, I can let my room get as messy as I like! Haha the main difference I see is that I may be untidy, but I'm not unhygienic. When I was a kid I was definitely the one with moldy half-drunk cups of tea piled up in a corner (right next to that pile of slime over there that was once an apple...) lol but I think once I was the only one responsible for cleaning it up, my habits quickly changed!! I like a bit of clutter, but it's hard to find a balance because, well too clean = I don't know where anything is and forget stuff exists (yay ADHD brain) but too cluttered = too much chaos to keep track of and I lose stuff. So either it's lost in the abyssal chaos of clutter, or it's put away nice and safely somewhere very normal but out of sight and thus I won't find it again for 11 months 🤣

Oh you gotta get a rubber broom/rubber brush thingy to get the hair scraped up! I got this lil dealie just from kmart - absolute game-changer!

The black sides are rubber, so they grip hair really well, makes cleaning their cat tree a breeze!!

Nah my week gonna be pretty chill methinks, tho a friend of mine might be having a few peeps over Thursday night so might go to that. Yourself?

[Bow]

D reminds me of my lil bro growing up @Jynx  pile of cups, bowls and what not in their room. One of D’s favorite snacks is shapes but the cheap version from aldi. There was 7 empty/ 1/2 eaten boxes in amongst the rubbish! And of course chips on the floor which really gets me…. She will be the one freaking out and screaming when she gets mice! 
do you put things away and then can’t find it so go buy another one and then find the original one again?? Haha yep, we’ve done that. 

oh one of them rubber things could be handy! We got a stick vac, which is heaps quick. But that could be good for the couch? 

I have a pdoc appointment tomorrow @Jynx  my regular one is away for a few months, so they had me down to see another guy. He hadn’t even seen me and started weaning me off my prn which I was not impressed with. Had every intention of letting him know when I had an appointment, but now they changed me to someone else. So I see her for the first time tomorrow. I want to clarify that my regular one is still planning to return too. 
Then I got arts and craft after that. 

Thursday I got a pg appointment. And then psychologist appointment. Urgh, feels appointment heavy! 
nothing Friday. Saturday D is at her father’s for the day so me and mum are going to this massive warehouse thrift shop. It’s fairly new. And there is a Taco Bell close to it! Haven’t had Taco Bell is year- fell in love with it when I was in the states in my 20’s.

@Bow I mean that is a pretty effective way for her to learn her lesson right? 😝🐭

When I first moved outta home and was living at uni accom, there were 6 of us freshly moved outta home in one apt. And of course, none of us were any good at cleaning, we never made a chores roster, no one ever did their part cos no one realised just how much there is to it! Anyway, after the 3rd time you're wiping maggots up off the floor after taking out a pile of rotting garbage, you kinda gain an appreciation for the importance of regular cleaning 🤣

Yeah it would work wonders for couch - and anywhere else that the vacuum doesn't quite get!

Oh that's frustrating about someone tryna change your meds prior to ever having met you! What the hey?!

Oh boy, appt heavy for sure! But then thrifting and tacobell, huzzah!! I've heard Aussie TacoBell isn't as good though, have you had it over here? The main thing I wanted to try, Baja Blast, isn't even sold here! Boooooo 👎

[Bow]

Oh maggots @Jynx !! :nauseated_face: in our last house, we had a really hot summer and it wasn’t even a fact of needing to take the garbage out cause it had been there for days…. It was just the heat and flys…. And they appear out of nowhere!! And so many of them! Happened twice, once as we were literally on the way out the door for church! 

I hate cleaning in general. 

how do you go with keeping on top of it living by yourself? 

yep I was pretty annoyed when my CM told me that he was going to change my meds without even meeting me…. And I wanted to let him know. But now won’t get the chance. 

I have heard that about Taco Bell too. But I’m sure it will still taste good.
