Put my new gaming chair up and listened to vinyls

Left a nozzle check behind at the local tech shop on their end cap like casually leaving a Jehovah's Witness pamphlet where everyone will see it... "There's a better path waiting for you... it's time to get cleansed..."

Where you off to?

I’m full of a cold so all I’ve done today is put the new washing line up (last one snapped the other day) and then spent most of the day in and out of sleep in bed.

Hope you feel better, Ben. They started sending out notifications for flu shot season so this reminds me we need to get ours.

The flu is awful. Not often had it, luckily.

Spent all day watching, talking and planning football with the boy. Feeding him and driving him about. Usual Dad stuff

[Livia]

I've packed. Going away for work tomorrow.

I got bored so I made a rhubarb and ginger crumble. I hated my life once starting as I felt too ill and feeble. But now it’s in the oven I’m happy with my life choices.

I hate when it feels like you have way more energy than you actually do because there will be this spike... and then you to start to the thing again as you're doing it, get tired and start to struggle. You don't know if you're getting better or just going mad.

I took child and myself out to eat as it was near a supply shop I needed to get stuff from. She got to fill up on all her favorite things. Then we went to the "smelly stuff" store (Bath & Body works) and I'm reminded why I stopped shopping there.... $29 for a candle and $17 for a small tube of lotion/body wash. Right now have lavender oil in my humidifier's diffuser, running on low.

…I’m thinking that you and little Miss Maru could create your own brand of candles and body lotions etc maybe much cheaper…/…that would be a thought for a mother/daughter project and one that I’m totally confident you would make a great job with….sounds like a lovely day was had by both as well…..

Candles are actually super easy to make. I’ve made some in the past with essential oils. Lotion, I’m not sure on.

…yeah, candles are quite simple to make …with lotions…?…I don’t know about all from scratch but I imagine a basic unscented lotion would be not too complicated to scent and personalise…Maru has such great design talents, it would be nice to apply them to a product if that’s a direction that appealed in any way…

…EDIT:…actually scrub the body lotion idea as anything that’s applied to the skin would have to undergo all types of safety standards etc…but the candle making for sure…

I could! I have access to a tutor. She sent me handmade lip balm with everyday ingredients and I've been loving it. I'm one of those people who actually need it from time to time. My husband says he's never had a problem with chapped lips? So I only really buy it just for me.

It's in a decorative bag and I have to hide these in a very special place so my daughter doesn't get the idea to turn it into a popsicle...

…I really do feel that there is an opening for you and little Miss Maru to think about a creative/craft business empire build, with all of your skills……

Gifted child some rainbow swag I made her overnight and then we went to go get donuts/kolaches for breakfast. I had one single donut and I haven't had one in a good while. I got a chocolate twist also, but honestly I don't have any desire to eat it... have become used to not having it

My appetite has been a lot less recently and it's just now starting to come back.
