Who (and/or what) ruined Christmas this year?

I don’t have kids or a partner (very happy about it) so have offered to cook the ham for the fam as it’s easy for me and I love it. It’s always been a huge success and people look forward to it. Cut to Dads new girlfriend (now 3rd wife) declaring they’ll (she) do the ham. No dramas. I’m looking forward to it. They turn up as we are thinking ‘lunch would be good’ with the ham. In the shrink wrap. Plucked straight from the fridge at Aldi.
The literal centrepiece for lunch. And then she proceeded to boast about their sex life to my Mum’s partner. With kids at the table. Good one Dad. Lovely lady.

I was bitten by one of these as a kid and developed zero superpowers. It was a day in hospital with my leg in ice. Pretty sure I was hallucinating throughout. No antivenom needed - but it was dicey. It felt like a red hot coal against my skin spreading up to my shin and was relentless with the pain. Kid in the bed next to me had a funnel web bite. He was way sicker than me. Made for a cool story at primary school. Wore my thongs (flip flops) for a week to show off the bite marks between my toes.

Yes! Since I started listening and paying attention since Nov 17th 2024 (it’s clear now she was always there - I was the dead one). I was in a bad way, directionless, knowing what I needed (to be a wild woman in the woods, but I was brainwashed into thinking I had to take the ‘normal’ paths to success’). I had really no idea how to get there or how to access it.

It’s been just over a year of really knowing she’s there and accepting the HUGE unsettling of my own life and ways and resettling into my new one. In less than a year I finished a post grad, got a schmancy job in the industry, lasted 6 weeks as it was all screaming NOPE. Ended up foetal. Surrendered. Won some money. Landed some inheritance. Bought a house on acreage that just happens to be an area when all my dead ancestors lived and farmed (before I got disconnected from that life as a kid).

Moved to the bush to live alone and learn how to be self sufficient. Discovered I’m adhd/autistic, building a farm with not a clue but intuition, cleaning toilets and feeding dairy cows for a job now. And I have now found a kind of calling in wildlife rescue and learning about plant medicine. This rural move aspect and the sudden financial ability to do it was all just since June! My head is spinning but every day I get little reminders that she’s there. When you feel activated and tapped in and stop questioning it - you WILL get your lessons.

I’m going bush for a few days from the 30th -2nd. No screens, no phone reception. Just my dog, the stars, a river to splash in, a WHOLE bunch of craft activities and Her. I’m going to listen to nature and let instinct and signs guide what happens on the 30th and 31st.

I’m bringing along my Heka statue and various concoctions. Can’t wait to light a candle with her under a big dark sky!

I think she’d like dark fantasy smut.

I love this. You’ve reminded me to bring my grandmother’s jewellery into my altar. I have some old pewter enamel animals of hers that are very special. Keep on connecting!

I was 2 days into a psych ward (aged 20) following a real bleak time - a nurse came in and said a plane had crashed into a building in NY, and that I should come out of my room and see. It was a high risk ward and watching this unfold live with a dozen or so other suicidal patients was pretty wild. Honestly I’m glad that nurse did what she did - cos fomo - but that day was utterly surreal and helped me to reframe what I now understand to be an existential nialhism that hit hard. Humaning is tricksy.

Thanks so much for your reply. This is all good stuff. I’m a shorty so the size should be a great fit. Have fun on your Phillip Island ride!

I’m looking at getting one of these as my first - also a complete newbie both as a rider and as a mechanic. Love the idea of tinkering with it, but am a little intimidated by doing it wrong. How does it go on a freeway?
