I'm making bread from scratch. I'm scared and excited all at the same time.

Sometimes I love looking up where a period piece was filmed just because it's hilarious to see how unremote a location is or how surrounded by modern amenities it is. I mean obviously things aren't nessascarily going to be period accurate, but seeing a shopping centre or a main road is right round the corner feels so silly.

Online Orders 1 Week Delivery Challenge update: order 2 of 4 has arrived today.

This is the one which came from South Australia too, Auspost are killing it! My 2 remaining orders are from Catch so we'll see how that goes. I know one of them is being shipped by a 3rd party not Catch themselves.

I'm a little annoyed.. when I booked my US flights I wasn't able to select a seat, just set a preference for Window or Aisle. At some point between then and now, they enabled to ability to select seats without telling me and other people have taken all ones I would have chosen. I only had the choice of these 2 seats (screenshot of plane seat map):

So I've naturally picked the aisle because what maniac wouldn't?

I still can't select a seat for the return flight but I'll just have to keep checking until I can so I don't get shafted with a middle seat or something.

Fuck family are annoying. Mum still refuses to do some ten minute reads about having a trans kid so she still treats me like a fucking man. My son was asked to house sit for my sister for a fortnight, so she just plonked herself along. Now I can't stand to see her because it fucks with my head so I'm missing quality son time, which I've been missing a lot, cos he's terrible at messaging, but super present when we spend time together. He was the first person to know I'm trans and has been awesome.

Mum called me daddy yesterday and has a very, you're a certain aged person when I was excitedly showing them how my baldness is receding, I've told her a dozen fucking times I'm a 14 year old girl mentally right now. Can you please show the same sensitivity? Acceptance of my new superficialities are nowhere near enough. Her and my sister have been very no, you tell us what you're going through, even though I've explained multiple times that it's painful to talk about the insensitivities they show. There's so much support around for families of trans people, I've given them the advice and showed them how to access it. As I've stated again, multiple times, if I had autism or was blind, they'd be across it of their own volition, but this all comes across like they think I have some kind of choice over this. I've had so many shitty experiences with being trans in the last month and it's starting taking a toll.

sounds like your kid is a good one - you've done good there, right on.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

but you don't have the life experience or education of a 14 year old girl, this experience may be new to you but you have context and a grown up brain

just be you , big hugs ,

your mum will come around, she's had fewer hours of contact time with you than you've had, you have 24/24, she has maybe a few hours a week

Sitting here under two layers of blanket with an electric hot water bottle under keeping me nice and warm while I watch The Rookie.

Only thing missing is some snacks.

It was a lovely afternoon for gardening. I did some weeding in the front yard and divided up the jeruselum artichokes. I was thinking I would just spread them out a bit and not eat much this year because I only planted a few small pieces last year, but they are really prolific - I ended up with a box full to eat! I also cut a couple of fennel bulbs which are growing really well this year.

Lol why is it 12 degrees??

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because Winter? 🤣 I’ve noticed that talking to some people they forget it’s still Winter because of the odd spate of warmish days we’ve been having

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was so warm out there!! I swear it was more like 17 or 18 (in the sun)!

I've done nothing with my weekend besides watch television and snooze, and I know that come tomorrow (my monday) I am absolutely going to regret it.

On a completely different note I think I'm very very VERY nearly ready for a bit of spring and summer.
