Not Coping

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah, I know it's been a struggle without her and your Godchildren. 

I do hope the relationship can be put back together one day. 

I could only imagine the heat at 7 pm. You moved a bit, then. 

Yeah, maybe you could. 

I had the interview on Friday, but thank you. @ENKELI 

What are you doing today/tomorrow? Lol

[ENKELI]

@Birdofparadise8 I'm not planning on doing anything except stay cool today/tomorrow!

I thought about going to Kmart and buying a paddle pool, one where I can lie down and get wet and then drip dry!

How about you?

[Birdofparadise8]

That sounds fun @ENKELI 

How big would the pool be?

I'll do some washing, baking and reading. I want to make a brownie.

@Birdofparadise8 $29 from Kmart. Even if I get rid of it after summer it will be worth it!!

I might see if my girlfriend wants to join me. We've been friends since we were 5 and she lives only 5 minutes from me. She's a crazy cat lady but otherwise normal lol.

Ooh Brownies, yum. Do you have a recipe you use? Last time I made brownies I cheated and used a mix. I love baking, it's therapeutic for me.

What is the new accommodation like?

[Birdofparadise8]

That looks nice. I hope you enjoy the pool. Is your backyard small?

Haha, does she have lots of cats?

The recipe is from Morgan Hipworth. His recipes are really good. You should google him he was at school and working in his doughnut shop. Sorry, it is all spaced weirdly. I just copied it from Instagram. But if you google him, you can find it as well. 

Not a box brownie. Sorry, I'm not much on pack ones, hahaha. I'm not judging you. It's just a preference. 

It's good not they have cleaned it. When I came in it was so gross. Mold in my window and bathroom. The floor was so gross. I would walk about in it and my feet would go black. It's much better now. I'll be sharing with two other females once they arrive. 

What are you doing today @ENKELI?

4 large eggs, room temperature

240 grams butter, melted
¾ cup (75 grams) cocoa powder, sifted
2 cups (440 grams) caster sugar
1 cup (150 grams) plain flour, sifted
100 grams dark choc chips (50–60% cocoa solids)
icing sugar, to serve
Preheat the oven to 180℃ (fan forced) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, butter, cocoa powder, caster sugar and flour and mix with a wooden spoon until everything is just combined. Add the chocolate chips and give it another stir. Make sure you don’t over-mix the batter, because this will cause tough, dry brownies – and we want the opposite!
Pour the brownie mixture into your baking tray, using your spoon to spread it evenly and press down into the corners to ensure the whole tray is covered, then bake for 25–30 minutes or until the middle is just wobbly.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool, cut into bars, then dust with icing sugar to serve.

@Birdofparadise8 hey, brownie recipe sounds delicious!
I'm not one for box mixes either, I prefer to bake from scratch.

I don't have a huge back yard but it's big enough for me to put the little pool in it. 
I didn't sleep much last night with it being so hot so I will probably just try and stay cool and rest. And jump in the shower when I get too hot!

My girlfriend has EIGHT cats, can you believe it! I have 2 and that's enough. They are like her children, which like me she never had. I love cats too but not that much.

I can't believe your new accommodation was so filthy! How do they get away with that? I remember being in a rental when I lived in Broome and the owner told me off for not dusting the ceiling fan blades! To have mould and filthy floors like that is disgusting. 
Have you met the other girls yet, or do you just have to wait to meet? Hopefully they will be nice and also you get the opportunity to be friends with them if that's what you want. My girlfriend isn't always available to see but she always messages me and will say the right thing just when I need it. 

And you have the Eras tour coming up..woot woot! Have you got your outfit ready? 
I was shopping on the Spotlight site and thought of you - they have a link to get tour ready and it has the beads and everything to make friendship bracelets. 
Oh I watched the reputation tour and she certainly is a good performer. You're going to have an amazing time. And I want to hear all about it!!

[Birdofparadise8]

I hope you enjoy it. When will you set the pool up? 

Wow, eight that's a lot. 

Neither could I it was disgusting. 

I guess they think they can get away with things being young adults. 

I'll meet one on the 27th and the other has moved in last year so I'm not sure when they are coming back. 

Yes and no. I might just wear something I already have. 

That's a good on rep. 

All her songs are good. 

Sorry you didn't sleep well @ENKELI

Hi @tyme @Blackbird11 @creative_writer @Shaz51 

How are you all today?

I've been to the gym, and I'm going to cook my pasta sauce shortly, so I don't have to do it later. I'm waiting for an email from my regular at KHL. So I hope I get it soon. I need some clarification big time. I think we will talk at seven so that's why I'm preparing dinner now. After that I'm going to read a bit of my book. 

[Birdofparadise8]

I got the email back, and apparently, there was some confusion. I'm unsure if it was myself or the man I talked to. Can I let you know what happens when I speak with my regular at 7 pm @tyme?

[tyme]

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ,

Glad you've been getting a few things done today. It's good to get clarification on the events of the last few days. I'm sorry it had such an effect on you.

We'll wait to hear how it goes (only if you feel like sharing). No pressure to share anything at all. I just hope you get what you need out of the KHL session.
