How I did it: Just went through each box systematically until I found it. It was not fun. I would much rather have been doing just about anything else. But at least now I can take photos again :) Read how I did it…
How I did it: After two years of escalating arguments and fights with a man over boundary violations I finally had enough. I found a site online with a strategy for dealing with those close to us who have difficulty respecting boundaries and I implemented that plan (follow link below).I also realised several things:1) This man had no respect for my boundaries even when he feigned it. I needed to get him to accept that this is just who I am and if he wa… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I cheated by using a store-bought green curry paste. I followed the instructions on the packet, but substituted vegetables for the salmon that was, very weirdly, an ingredient in their recipe. Is salmon normal in green curry?Also, they recommended 400ml of coconut milk which made the result extremely creamy. Maybe I should have added more water. I kind of liked it, but it gave the dish a very high fat content which is probably not a good … Read how I did it…
..this should be the “receive soothing birthday wishes” goal. This way round is cheating ‘cause other people did it for me :)
Thank you so much to everyone who took part in this. If you don’t already know it, let me tell you: you are all very special people.
I am a HUGE fan of the QFG series and have played almost all the characters in each one, but I can’t seem to get into the final game at all. For one, I hate the way so much time passes every time you perform an action. And how you lose hard earned XP if you stop practising a skill. Okay, I am going to leave before I have a full-blown geekout about how wrong that is.
Suffice it to say, I am consciously putting this goal on hold for a bit so it doesn’t keep staring me in the face and taunting me, but I am NOT giving up. I was born with the tenacity of a honey badger. We will see who has the last laugh, Game, we will see….
and thinking the future is bleak. I think this is because things have been really tough for a while now and so all my energy and attention is turned towards the negative. I’ve been wondering, “What happened to my positivity? Where’s that kick-ass, I can handle anything, irrepressible girl I once knew?”. She’s got her head in a big, stormy cloud, that’s where!
From now on, I am going to make a concerted effort to look forward to the good things, instead of constantly fearing the worst. For instance, it’s my birthday in two days – my favourite holiday of the year ;D
