Ok, need to find time for a swim tomorrow.
Has been a few weeks, and I need a float.
The good health days haven't been lining up with good water days, but tomorrow should be ok.
Let's hope!

My child fell out of a tree when a branch snapped. Branch too thin, kiddo not listening. That shocked look on kiddo's face during the fall, me thinking broken limbs, worse cases etc. All in a few seconds.

What’s the worst *short-lived* scare you’ve ever had? Where you were genuinely freaking out but then it was all ok within minutes?
I had a literal moth get trapped inside my ear for about 40 seconds. I was screaming. Then it was out.

Didn't know the cult late night drunk screenings had started already.
Kayleigh: My mom went to see Melania. She said the theater was packed, it was standing room only. People were cheering through it, they were excited. It was interactive—people interplaying with the film. She said it was just electric.

OK, something I deal with went wrong on Friday. Minor inconvenience for me. And really, no one at fault, just one of those things that can happen.
What has struck me is the staff at the time, and now a follow up email today, keep on thanking me for my kindness in being understanding.

Decided to try and screw with news.com's great Aussie debate. Some questions push you to certain answers. Did manage to write in Sam Kerr as best Australian athlete, just to piss off the haters.

Still on my wishing is visiting the library bar at the state library.
A cocktail, the city skyline, and a book sounds like perfect self care

Sometimes, self-care is spending a day exploring bookstores, museums, greenhouses, art galleries, and libraries.

One Battle After Another.
Wasn't convinced at the start, but stuck with it. Good.
Sean Penn is utterly repellant as Lockjaw, and seems to be modelling his mannerisms on RFK Jr.
