F apparently came out of his first basketball try out (for next season) shaking his head and looking down on himself. He truly is his own worst critic - he puts so much pressure on himself. I know what it’s like because I do the same thing to myself, but it’s taken me my whole life to work towards undoing it; I don’t know how to guide him away from that mindset. Also - we don’t actually know how he went, because the try outs are closed.
It was good to see my parents yesterday. They toured a nursing home last week and were pretty impressed with it. Dad remembers visiting relatives in nursing homes in the 1950s as a child, and is constantly surprised they’re no longer the same dark, dingy and fetid places. He even felt this facility was better than the two homes his mum was in 15 or so years ago. They’ve got another couple of local places to check out and will then start the process of applying. It could take 12 months or more until there’s an available spot, and true to form, Dad has suggested he’s unlikely to make it that long anyway. (He’s joked - that’s probably not the right word - about dying for as long as I can remember).
Today we’re having a family lunch with my in-laws, and as lovely as they are, there’s a load of other things I’d like to do with my day.
Weekends, even long weekend, are never long enough.

it's Saturday and I have 100$ put aside to go out with my friend to a nice cafe for lunch but their car exploded on Thursday night so we can no longer do that
this leaves me with 100$ that I should really put into savings but instead will probably impulsively spend on myself over the weekend
right now the only thing I desperately want to buy is fast food but I will eat breakfast first before making any decisions (never make money decision on an empty stomach guys!)
(also just for context 100$ in my country's money is slightly under 15$ USD so I do not have as much as you probably thought I had)

Honestly I thought you guys were exaggerating with the queer themes of the terror in a fandom fashion…. Or maybe not exaggerating but I thought it would require more than surface level analysis yknow. No they just fully have a sodomy storyline. That Arctic explorer stares at himself longingly in the mirror while holding a dress to his chest. This is like heartstopper to me
