#BlogLife1068 - What are you trying to see?

A very noisy morning is happening. Ahh, have they finally stopped banging?

That's all I've heard for 2 hours, thud thud thud.. Luckily I was already awake, gently stirring.

Ugh my lens are all blurry because they were stinging and my eyes were watering so now it's hard to see.

I don't want to take them out, maybe eye drops will fix it? Actually that did help.

The carrot drops, or at least that is what I am calling them, are quite refreshing.

It's the first ever time, I've had scented drops, so unusual but whatever is reasonable gets my vote.

But it seems like too much of a luxury item, not strictly essential but really useful.

Anyway a thought just occurred to me, for the most part 7 Cups, doesn't have many confrontational people.

I mean yes some are straight talkers and I don't mind that, others are Yes people that will blatantly agree with you and the next person with a differing opinion...

I have to roll my eyes at that. Anyway at least I can at times, speak my mind and not argue but say, well my perspective is different..

And I'm not saying I'm right, this is how I see it, is all. I'm thinking for the weekend and next week, toasties and burgers will be the theme.

Eggs, turkey rashers, cod, beef and cheese. I'll just vary it, each day.

The weather can still be on the cold side and I'm not sure, if I should get some onion bhajis and plonk it somewhere, to be extravagant?

I prefer pakoras but Iceland doesn't sell them. I was thinking of getting the roast beef slices but it's only in a 3x pack and I need more than that.

You know what would be weird? To really vary the taste and add something like pasta or rice...

I don't want to get bored having the same thing, maybe the salad will make it tasty enough, providing I can budget it in..

I'm trying to factor in the special offers. I give up, my eyes are foggy again, I took them out and now they are watering.

A tip I would recommend is closing your eyes and with your fingertips rubbing on the drops that way.

Sometimes it helps and doesn't make your eyes even more watery.

I feel like it's the humidity in the air, it's still cold but warm at the same time.

And it's giving me a headache. Finally my eyes have settled so I can see the page in front of me, much clearer.

The newish random L, real name J (ugh really)? I think we've been talking for a few weeks it seems and ha, we just swapped names.

Yesterday we were talking about a call, either over discord or on the phone but it was late so he recorded a message and sent it and it was pleasant, a slight accent..

Don't ask me which, I'm bad at that, maybe Northern? I've no idea.

Phone calls help to discover their essence, what they are really like, I told him I've no wish for meets, which makes me wonder if he's really single.

Paranoid me actually thought he was one of the blocked guys, but his voice is different, so that's reassuring.

Oh forgot to confess, downloaded this messenger app thingy for a random RL..

It's called Sessions, quite buggy, doesn't always notify of new messages, can't connect calls..

If you try to download it on your phone, it asks you to scan a code or insert a recovery password, which you were never given sooo...... I don't recommend it.

Use Whatsapp if you must, I think that was the smoothest one I've ever used, but it's up to you.

Oh and discord for the most part for voice calls, gets my vote too.

You just pick a username and I totally forgot because I have a Chromebook laptop I can install on the computer.

I only did it for a voice chat, which didn't even work. He heard me and I didn't hear him, which was strange to me.

He kept blaming my settings.. Anyway, the hilarious thing, was that he ghosted me lol.

Three days and nothing so uninstalled it. I can't be bothered with timewasters.

Confessions over, that's it for today :)

#BlogLife1053 - Shed a tear or 6..

I've waited as long as I could. My eyes have been so dry and itchy and uncomfortable that I can't do without the eye drops.

I checked my supplies and I'm down to my last saline bottle. Ugh I don't even buy storing solution because contact lens products are too expensive.

It's supposed to be a cleaner, to cleanse the lens from eyelashes or grease.

A storing solution to moisturise them overnight in the lens case.

Then in the mornings. I use the cleaner and then the saline to rinse it off.

Plus not forgetting, once a month, I have to do the deep clean, using protein tablets. 

I pop them in the case with the lens overnight and in the morning, clean them and it's supposed to be like having fresh comfy lens again.

But I'm happy I found a great deal on both. 4x saline bottles for under £9. I mean just over £2 each, a bargain!!

Then 6x eye drops for £7. Just a poundish each, wow, great value! It's just under £16.

Bulk buying at least where eye care is concerned just works out cheaper.

The saline can be £3/4 each for 1x bottle. The drops maybe £2/3 for 1x bottle too.

If I wanted less bottles, of course I could get them but they are used up so quickly, especially the eye drops.

For the same money but fewer bottles, it's not worth it. I need them to last a long time.

I hope the boiler isn't fritzing again, it was making a lot of noise last night and I blindly thought I put it on but it's cold.

Ok oops my fault, I didn't guess/press the up button high enough, it wasn't on but it is now.

That clicking sound is music to my ears. I just switched on the heated blankie too and got some crackers and butter for brekkie/lunch.

I can't believe I still went out and forgot to get some cheese, whoosh just went out of my mind.

The other things eventually to get are slippers, body butters but this time scented grr!

And I have no idea what else.. I guess clothes in smaller sizes but that doesn't seem like a priority, more vanity..

Yesterday I went ahead and blocked J on discord, as it's nearly a week and from regular chats to zero, seems off to me.

Something that really irritates me is everyone asking/saying.. Oh where you live is so expensive how do you afford it?

Everywhere, everything is pricey nowadays, use your damn brain and sniff out bargains, that's how I manage.

I use discount codes, coupons, deals, offers, whatever is available.

I might buy unknown brands or wait for certain days where a deal is guaranteed.

I only buy what I need. I don't borrow on credit cards. I use my existing funds, so only get what I can afford.

I might price around for the lowest cost. You have to be able to stretch the pennies in order to survive.

You can't just assume people will pay the highest amount, go to the fanciest restaurants, choose the expensive utilities providers etc....

Just because of where they are located. I'm assuming most people are savvy like me.

You can pick an upmarket restaurant and pay 2/3 times the amount, get less food and snooty service...

Or stick with a friendly cafe, get twice the amount of food for a fraction of the price.

These assumptions do my head in!

Oh lastly I've come to realise I have no current interest in fiction writing.

The stories don't compel me. I like the plots, I like the direction and the characters but for some reason, I am not excited about working on any of them.

I don't know why but I couldn't care less and I wish I did. Maybe I'll change my mind?

And every so often Twitter is still blocking my account and limiting my audience and I am getting so fed of it!
