    Ended up staying down here for an extra night for a bit of timeout alone. Back to it tomorrow.

    New day new work trip new tropical soup. Trip 2 of 3 of my six months of bonkers workload and travel. It’s very strange to be so busy but doing actually good things. I am so good at survival mode I don’t know how to be healthy and successful but I am trying. ☀️☀️☀️☀️

    Slept for 12 hours. Broken up, but still, that’s absolutely amazing!!!

    This means that the gym makes a huge difference. So back to going 5 days a week.

    They grow up so fast lol

    Went and caught up with a bunch of old friends. Some I might not have seen for 20 years. Played some games. Got another session lined up, new campaign starting with character creation next week. Hmu if you’re interested in a monthly LARP in North Fitzroy, 3rd Saturday. Pretty nerdy and lgbt friendly group.

    Poolside book success: Icebreaker by Hannah Grace. Requires suspense of belief when it comes to competitive figure skating, but a fun, funny read with a very inclusive ensemble cast without feeling forced. 7 out of 10 for making me laugh so much.

    Poolside book fail: All We Lost Was Everything by Sloan Harlow. Terrible “romance”, annoying characters, horrible twists that had my eyes rolling out of my head. 2 out of 10.

      I tried normie books once and found I don’t like them. Sometimes they’re an enjoyable read, but mostly they rely on you not knowing how human interactions or the world works to be believable

    The random crying has stopped but baby girl has learned that being vocal works for things she wants 😆

    She tried whimpering to go outside yesterday, she sooks for the heater to go on, and today she cried for me to unblock the chair and lift her up. (She’s perfectly capable of jumping but I’m trying to spare her knees)

      Lucky. Misha just comes into my office and screches at me.

      Does she want a chair moved to unblock the sunlight? More food? Outside? Is there puke in an unseemly place? Has the water fountain been upturned? Who knows, she uses the same noise for all of the above.

      It’s like being told off by a rusty door.

        It’s hard to figure out sometimes. Luckily she’ll sometimes do it in that specific area (heater, chair, door), paw at something, or there’s a context clue like she’s just used the litterbox and might want it cleaned.

        For food she just quietly walks into the kitchen and sits near the fridge.
