Hello! I seem to have a bunch of new followers from a diabetes focussed list. Welcome to my wee corner of Aotearoa!
This account is radically body/weight neutral. Any fatpbobia, body shaming, or pathologising of fat bodies will earn an instablock. Or a rant before the block if I’m feeling spicy.

Sat down to clean my teeth and the leg of my stool bent under me! Pretty sure it was rated for people heavier than me (although TBF for sanity reasons I only have the vaguest idea what I weigh). It was fairly cheap though so 🤷♀️ Too tired to stand in the shower today so I guess I’ll stay stinky

Couldn’t get comfy last night and when I finally got to sleep someone threw his ball onto my pillow and landed heavily on my chest to chase it.

J is on his way home with the cats. I should probably get dressed.

Something I do not understand is why someone, who has presumably paid quite a lot of money to be there, will stand up to have a natter with their mates, during the headline act, right in someone else’s line of sight.

I expect @apocalypseelf.bsky.social will be disappointed to learn Iggy kept his (very low slung) pants on - though at an all ages show that was likely for the best.

I’d read review saying how great Joan Jett is sounding, and if anything they undersold it. She sounds amazing and is the epitome of cool!

View from the fancy seats. Chances of surviving the afternoon greatly improved by close parking, queue skipping and guaranteed shade. Not sure what effect the promotional hat will have.

Poor C went to see a gig and his seat collapsed under him! Nasty cut on his finger but not otherwise too bad from the sounds of things, but he came over a bit wobbly and had to call a flatmate to escort him home.

The drive here took quite a bit longer than the map indicated (do they assume everyone speeds the whole way?) but gosh it’s a gorgeous trip once you get past Timaru! And now we’re in our very nice rental with bellies full of bao and kimchi fries via uber eats. And tomorrow is a planned sloth day

Coffee and a snack in Timaru while the car tops up. Looks like it might have made it on one charge, but contingency juice is always a good idea.

About to drive to Wānaka for rock and roll purposes. First roadie in years (and very first in an electric car). As is always the way we’re leaving a couple of hours later than planned, but we’re not on any real timetable so it’s all good.

Most of why we send that cats to the cattery rather than getting someone to come in to feed them is that they’re indoor cats and if they got out I’m not sure someone they don’t know well could get them back. However a big bonus is we don’t need to do nearly as much pre-trip tidying.

Mel is as both my kids’ favourite teacher at primary school, and my very valued colleague. Right now she’s going through just about the worst things I can imagine - losing her larynx and livelihood in one go. She’s writing about it with wit and eloquence and an awful lot of bravery.

I started this months ago, but put it aside for Christmas crafting. Then I wasn’t well enough to finish the Christmas crafts before Christmas, so it feels like forever since I got up the end of a project. It’s a fair step up in complexity from anything else I’ve embroidered so I’m mostly pleased

Didn’t use the night guard last night and am much less sore today. Will experiment to see if it’s coincidence or not then talk to my dentist if I need to.
When I first got a dental night guard it seemed to help quite a bit with my jaw pain, but now the pain is back and worse than ever. Starting to wonder if the clenching was providing stability or something.

And
“This is a bit complicated, it’ll be easier if I explain it over the phone.”
