I'mma gonna love this new bae of the pōtiki. 6 months they've been dating, taking it slow. We get to meet him a couple of weeks. She told him she'd just watched Prime Minister. His response: oh, I miss her so much.
Yup. That's a keeper right there

Shouldn't have looked at the weather forecast for Tahiti. The rain/thunderstorm prediction for the week has disappointed
/dampened my excitement. Vet Girl's hubby is upbeat tho. He has a plan for all the things, bless him.

I've done a lot of adulting today: booked flights to Palmy and Welly, organized a number of hui, got hair cut and did this to Coach to stop him licking a shaved leg ( it's raw from his attentions)
Yes, I'm very adult

he does because he's emboldened to by all those who control what gets said and when and how: from the leaders down. I loathe him and his kind. Thank you for 'standing in the gap'
I'm too exhausted by it all to fight back atm

Hearing aids for almost two weeks and NO reduction in tinnitus despite adjustments made by audiologist last Friday. I have been wearing all day everyday
I'll give it another 2 weeks & if no improvement, will trigger the 90 day $ back clause
