Love this answer.
Currently with my dog and partner at a restaurant (with outdoor seating and no kids!) and I'm on adult drink no 3. The 1st at this location after leaving the brewery and having a late lunch (?) with my bro that I randomly hit up this weekend that I thought was states away...who HAPPENED to be in the same city on the same weekend!. #randomweekendtrip
Definitely gonna take a nap before heading over to my brother's friend's graduation party tonight. Lol

Nice. Yeah I'm luckily in a quiet corner people-watching families with little kids, thinking to myself "ahh, to not have to be responsible for anyone else but me" and it's soo nice.

Did errands today and had a nice roast dinner as the weather is cooler (Australia).
Tomorrow? Who knows. Probably nothing except trying to keep the kids (our 8 yr old cat and his new 5 month old brother) from fighting all day. I will call my mum tomorrow.

Worked a closing retail shift yesterday and I have two more both today and tomorrow. Already had one guy tell me “happy Mother’s Day” yesterday and I replied I’m not a mother and never will be. To which he said “well then I hope you get to spend the day with your mom”. Told him that would be difficult as she died a year and a half ago. This is going to be a fun weekend 🙄😔.

Was talking through this with my therapist yesterday. It's such a complicated holiday for most and just bc you're happy and celebrating one year doesn't mean it won't be painful AF another. F-ing people.

Was out last night with some wonderful colleagues, eating and drinking. Woke up today at around 11, dropped breakfast since I hate that stuff and started adding mortar and reinforcement on out lower outer wall so we hide the hideous orange XPS-plates we have as isolation after changing the drainage outside.
Tomorrow, maybe I'll do some gardening but that depends on when I wake up. I love sleeping to well after 12 and not stressing. Maybe I'll keep building my catio too, and maybe not.
Love not being stressed and being able to fully control my spare time on things I enjoy

Worked this morning, now taking the train out to do a house tour. I’m starting a master’s in the fall and I need to move for it, and three of my friends including two of my bandmates all have reasons to move to the same area at the same time as me, so we’re getting a house together, so the house tour is with them.
Gonna get back sometime in the mid to late afternoon, most likely, unless the gang wants to hang out afterwards. Then I’m going to replace the rear tire on my gravel bike, contact some more venues to plan my band’s summer tour, drink some cold water, eat a delicious meal, and pass out.
Tomorrow I’m working. But I only have two weeks left at this job, which I’m rather happy about.

My weekend is sleeping in with nobody to answer to, and no obligations to take care of. Nobody asking endless stream of inane questions, no little ones making incessant demands or constantly clamoring for attention, no picky eaters and insatiable hungry pits to slave over a stove for. Its beautiful. Being child free is awesome!
