cw: slight mentions of racism

 11/07/23 

today I woke up at 9:30am and nearly fell asleep again but my alarm went off at 10am to remind me to take my birth control. I took it then I couldn't get back to sleep even though I was tired so I just stayed in bed until 11am.

my mum and my aunt went out to the shops and left me at home alone for half an hour. I just ate my breakfast, watched videos then went to the living room. I had to message some comforting things to my boyfriend because he was upset that his dad was being really racist out of nowhere. he does that a lot and it angers us both because no one can choose their race and they shouldn't be made fun of for something they cant change (you cant change your race and if you think you can then dni). my mum and my aunt returned just as I sat on the sofa.

my mum had brought me back 2 scratch cards, a can of monster and a pizza slice. my aunt had gotten me a cherry elf bar (my favourite flavour).

after I ate my lunch and got changed I went to the cafe down the road from me. this cafe does various social groups that I go to on mondays, tuesdays and wednesdays. 

the monday group is the cafe but with emphasis on socialising. the tuesday group is the knitting group so I got to work on the hat im making for an old man at the wednesday group (which is mostly for old people but I like to go there because the old people there are very lonely but also very kind and they always tell the most interesting stories about their lives). 

this old man (he's 80) has given me thank you cards just for talking to him at the group and also because I made him a birthday card for his 80th, he bought coffee for me and he even gave me a cat plushie when my cat went missing! he randomly said he wanted a red knitted hat just as I mentioned I was knitting one so now im making it for him! it's still a long way from being finished but it doesnt matter as it doesnt get cold until september XD.

i got home at 3pm and it is now 5pm. ive spent some time with my mum and aunt. they've been moving all the furniture out of the living room because the new carpet will be laid tomorrow while im at my social group.

ive also been stretching my earlobes. ive been stretching them for over a year now and im currently doing my final stretch, 0g to 00g. I can get the tapers in just fine with only a slight stinging sensation but I cant get the plugs in so im gonna leave the tapers in for just a few hours and see what happens from there. im a bit annoyed that the plugs won't go in all the way but its better than ripping my earlobes (again).

later on ill be watching south park and possibly drawing. im also hoping to call my bf later because I really miss his voice and im sure he misses mine too. I haven't been talking to him as much as I wanted to today as ive been quite busy with my knitting group and helping my mum and aunt move furniture. but I will be talking more to my bf now as he can get very clingy and sometimes gets upset if I dont answer quickly enough (I dont blame him, the poor thing has been through a lot recently and he just needs to be loved). Im gonna give him some love :).
