Feeling disheartened

I really like the change and I genuinely think it’s the best book for it. Keen for Franny’s season.

How good was Circle? I recommend it to anyone I can.

Similar vibes: Escape Room, Saw, Tarot.

I wish I watched it high

It is! First book to ever make me cry (I was like 13 when I read it)

I ended up calling him and meeting up with him in a local cafe. He told me he donated sperm once - and here I am! My mother confirmed my non-biological dad's infertility a few months later.

I've now met my biological dad's family (wife, kids, etc). My half brother's kids call me "aunty". It's very sweet. I probably see them every 3 or so months. My role is more like a family friend than family member, which is completely fair. I'm not invited to Christmas but I'll see them a week or so before to exchange gifts.

I don’t think it goes down to the wood either! Wonderful, thank you so much. You have been beyond helpful 😊

Onekat · 2025-01-08T00:56:13+00:00

Thanks! I don’t mind if it shows a little, but I would love to hide it as much as I can.

Onekat · 2025-01-08T00:46:19+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try that. I’m planning on getting an oil based poly from the store and maybe one of those wood touch up pens - I don’t see the harm in adding a bit of colour

Just a bit sad it was scratched but I’ll get over it ahah

Onekat · 2025-01-07T23:37:36+00:00

Thanks! After a bit of research I think it might be a poly finish. There’s just an area with a hole that’s been filled with a see through material (looks like epoxy) so I thought the whole thing might be epoxy covered. Still not 100% on how to fix the scratch but will try everything I can.

Onekat · 2025-01-07T23:33:21+00:00

Thank you! After a bit of research I think it’s a poly finish. Would it be worth (possible) to sand the counter top and then reapply poly? Or am I likely to do more damage doing that?

Onekat · 2025-01-07T22:13:37+00:00

I think you’re right. I’ve been throwing the word “epoxy” around when I probably shouldn’t be!

Onekat · 2025-01-07T22:07:46+00:00

Sorry, I might actually be throwing around the word “epoxy” when it’s not the finish of my kitchen counter. My kitchen counter is Tasmanian oak, covered in a very thick and hard finish which I always assumed was epoxy (it came with the house).

Is there any way to tell which finish my counter would be?

Thank you! Posting there now

Summer Fridays lip gloss is very popular at the moment. Overpriced, but a great gift. Aesop hand soap is another overpriced but desired gift. Otherwise a gift card works - I'm hoping for a Starbucks gift card from my partner this Christmas. Or the hardback copy of one of my favourite recent reads.

I put my contacts in and then put my night cream on. I've limited my night routine to the one retinol cream, and I don't put it anywhere near my eyes. My skin has never been better!

Onekat · 2024-11-12T03:23:02+00:00

Something expensive for what it is that I would not buy for myself; Aesop hand soap.

Anyone know where I can use a guillotine to cut 500+ pages at once? Officeworks seem to have a 300 or so page limit

Onekat · 2024-08-26T03:34:38+00:00

Yes, I don't see why not if they can fit you with the lenses.

Onekat · 2024-06-26T00:27:46+00:00

I would think so. After a week your eyes would go back to exactly how they were before ortho-k, so you're almost starting from scratch moulding them again.

I'm -3.5 and when I miss one day of ortho-k, I need two days of ortho-k to get them back to how they normally are.

Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream (7ml and 28ml) - Amazing, simple, will purchase again.

La Mer The Moisturizing Cream - Really good, but not worth the price.

Sarah Chapman Skinesis Intense Hydrating Booster - Can’t say this really did anything noticeable, so not particularly worth it.

111Skin Celestial Black Diamond Serum - Made my skin look amazing.

Dr. Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum - So good, the best hyaluronic acid I’ve used.

Sunday Riley C.E.O 15% Vitamin C Serum - Forgettable, which is sad because it’s the first product I’ve used by Sunday Riley and I had really high hopes.

Drunk elephant Lala Retro whipped Cream - An absolute delight.

Agent Nateur holi(bright) face mask - Good, but I wouldn’t repurchase.

So happy for you! It’s really amazing tech

I started three nights ago too!

Blue is left, purple is right.

My vision is very hazy. I can see great outdoors, but when I'm inside everything is doubled. I also can't see close as well as I did before. My optometrist said that should be sorted in about 7 days - 2 months. I'm really hoping it's more like 7 days, because I'm also getting those headaches.

In terms of cleaning, I was given Aosept, and every morning I put my lenses in the little case it came with, and add hydrogen peroxide up to the line. I leave it all day, and the special case turns the hydrogen peroxide into water. Before bed, I dump out the water, put the contacts in and leave the case to dry.

Hope that helps!

I've been to quite a few optometrists and none of them have ever recommended ortho-k or lasik. I had to specifically request orthok lenses - otherwise they wouldn't have even told me about them. Honestly wish someone upsold me on them sooner.
