Your disinterest was polite. Some people need a drink thrown in their face before they'll realize you're not playing hard to get.  Between this, and creepy partner above, I'm starting to think men just might be generally creepy.

We are not sinners trespassing in the garden of an angry God.

We are prodigals come home; fully seen and deeply loved.

How dare you make lifestyle decisions that don't implicitly comfort him that his choices are best? Lol 

 

Pahaha, yeah - some people just hear what they wanna hear as well.

If you don't turn yourself inside out to manage fragile men and our feelings, who will Sil? Who will?!

Puts me in mind of Mr. Collins

Sometimes I see people from way back when and they're exactly the same, and I get sad that they didn't grow with me. Probs they grew in ways I can't see and it's mostly my view of them that didn't grow, but still makes me feel sad sometimes when I'm reconnecting. 

 

Yeah, I get what you mean. It seems like all that group had done really was get married and had (more) children. Like fair if that's for you.

Jesus, that's a demanding task, and for a worthy cause too

 

Umm... well kinda worthy. The NHS is very broken but one does what one can to try and help.

OK so I've been very AWOL with the new job and life and about to go play boardgames in Porto for the weekend, woo! Thank you for checking in on me and validating my these dudes suck complaints!

I have been trying to stick to calories (badly), not going to bed at a sensible hour, and not getting goal #3. Le sad. The weekend should be fun though, and I'll try to do some catching up soooooon ❤️

Yeah, if I'd given myself negative points for overeating and scrolling before bed I likely would have failed this challenge! As it is, I am where I am and have learned that I need a bit more structure in my life to stick to things. I was 11st 4lb this morning, so I definitely need to get some calorie counting back in to get back under 11st and stay there, which was the year goal.

 

Boardgaming in Porto was awesome, and the job carries on being OK. I kinda miss the routine meetings giving the days structure, but am still getting to grips with things.

I have found the only way for me to stop scrolling/reading too late was to set up my phone to lock me out of all my apps (except alarm clock, calling, and texting) at a certain time.

 

I would do this but would find something else to do - I have def stayed up late reading back through old messages...

Well a couple of us took Azul (standard and summer pavilion) due to the Porto tiles theme, but didn't play either :D

Hmm, we played this magic shop one, which I've got decent at but cannot remember the name of and google is not helping! You have to upskill your shop based on four dice rolls, and create items for points, get bonuses for types of things etc.

Also played Rainbow which is basic but fun, trailblazers, which is good but I SUCK at (similar to Railroad Ink on BGA which I also suck at)... hmm, must have played some others but I can't remember now :D We were doing a lot of exploring and drinking port though...

 

OK so it's time to make a new challenge...
