#nonmonogamy

0 posts0 participants0 posts today
Joscelyn Transpiring<p>Every bi cis woman who is married or a long-term relationship with a cis man that I've tried giving the benefit of a doubt and dated or chatted with on a dating app has suddenly had to stop seeing or talking to me when the man they're with gets insecure and expresses "a boundary" that she can't do anything physical with another person or meet up with them. Like...bi ladies, leave your insecure, sexist man and go kiss girls already. A man controlling your body is a man controlling your body and should be kicked in the balls and left to be lonely and butt hurt by himself. ARGH.</p><p>To be clear, it is absolutely understandable that when people start venturing into non-monogamy, they may need to take things step by step, or even stop for a time. But a boundary is not "you can't do X," a boundary is "if you do X, I'll do Y." That's not a boundary and not a way to do non-monogamy or polyamory!!!</p><p><a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/polyamory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>polyamory</span></a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/nonmonogamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonmonogamy</span></a></p>

ABY BUT IN ALLCAPS<p>A couple of weeks ago I noticed that one of the eyes of one of Greg's cats had changed colour since I visited last year. I pointed it out to him, and dug through my phone for a picture of her to check if I was remembering correctly - I was.</p><p>We took her to the vet last week, and followed up with a second opinion today. It looks like it's probably either lymphoma or melanoma. She needs to go back for more tests under sedation to work out what it is. If lymphoma, the treatment will be chemo ; if melanoma, it'll be an enucliation. Both diagnoses could mean the cancer has already spread. There's also the option of seeing a specialist to biopsy the mass and potentially get more information on what's happening. </p><p>Greg and his wife will get the cost breakdown for insurance this evening, and make a decision about management options in the next few days. I leave for Australia on Saturday afternoon.</p><p>The timing of all this sucks.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Cat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cat</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cats</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CatsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CatsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ragdoll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ragdoll</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/vet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vet</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VetVisit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VetVisit</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cancer</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/relationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>relationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistance</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistanceRelationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistanceRelationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NonMonogamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonMonogamy</span></a></p>

ABY BUT IN ALLCAPS<p>I'm still unwell. </p><p>I think it's basically a viral thing causing my sinuses to congest and then I get these coughing jags when the gunk in my sinuses drain. My lungs feel completely clear, I'm not running a temp at all. I've tested negative for covid multiple times.</p><p>Greg's wife is heading to Paris for a couple of days with her other-husband, so we're desperate to make sure she doesn't catch anything from me.. which means I'm locked up in the study, and once a day I travel downstairs with a mask on to have a shower and then clean down the bathroom afterwards. People are bringing up food and drinks and leaving them outside the door for me, and Greg's wife and I are about to have a video call with each other to chat because we miss each other and talking through the door isn't cutting it. </p><p>Greg is working in the office today, but has been quarantined with me while at home. He's not sick, but the other option was to be separated from each other and neither of us want that. At the moment I'm feeling sad and lonely, because he's not here and I get really sooky when I'm not well.</p><p>Foxes seen: 2<br>Foxes total: 28<br>Squirrels seen: 0<br>Squirrels total: 8</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/dating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dating</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/relationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>relationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistance</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistanceRelationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistanceRelationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NonMonogamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonMonogamy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FoxAndSquirrelWatch2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoxAndSquirrelWatch2025</span></a></p>

ABY BUT IN ALLCAPS<p>I'm sick, and when I get sick... when anything hits my immune system hard, I get mouth ulcers (I think some people call them canker sores). I have one one the side of my tongue which is super sore and I keep accidentally biting it.</p><p>One of the things I do at home which helps really effectively is dabbing some Vegemite onto it. The Vegemite stings like fuck, but it cuts the swelling right down so the sore becomes less sore and less likely to be bitten. I tried Marmite this morning, and not only did it not work, but it tastes horrible.</p><p>Greg just rummaged through the pantry and found the jar of Vegemite I brought with me for everyone to try the first time I visited in 2018.. so yay!</p><p>Vegemite on my tongue and Vicks in my feet - Aboriginal medicine, I'm gonna feel better in no time!</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/dating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dating</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/relationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>relationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistance</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistanceRelationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistanceRelationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NonMonogamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonMonogamy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Aboriginal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aboriginal</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Vegemite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vegemite</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Vicks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vicks</span></a></p>
ABY BUT IN ALLCAPS<p>Each time I'm in the UK I plan on writing a daily run down of the things we did and then never do more than just the first few days.</p><p>I always feel like it's a failure on my part, because it's something that I want to do but then don't.. which my brain picks up and runs with the story of being a failure, being lazy, being stupid etc. </p><p>But, I think what actually happens is that for the few weeks I'm here I step into being in the moment more than I usually am at home. So I'm not inclined to recount the day's experiences for posterity, because I actually experienced them and don't need to. It's an interesting shift in focus, especially as someone who often feels detached and distant from myself.</p><p>Foxes seen: 0<br>Foxes total: 22<br>Squirrels seen: 0<br>Squirrels total: 7</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/dating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dating</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/relationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>relationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistance</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistanceRelationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistanceRelationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NonMonogamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonMonogamy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FoxAndSquirrelWatch2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoxAndSquirrelWatch2025</span></a></p>

We cleaned up and watched some TV snuggled together on the sofa. I didn't feel too fractured after the night before which was nice.</p><p>We dropped Greg's wife's other-husband home around 3pm, and just had a quiet evening. It was n9ce to just relax and hang out together in the same actual space. </p><p>Its been fairly cold and miserable most of the day.. actually, for a few days now, so I'm not seeing many foxes. The foxes that usually sunbake on the shed at the bottom of next door's garden are hiding somewhere warmer and more dry. </p><p>I did see a black and white cat contemplating how it might get into the tree in the yard to get to the British Magpies that hang out there, but it decided it had better things to do with its time. </p><p>Foxes seen: 0<br>Foxes total: 3<br>Squirrels seen: 0<br>Squirrels total: 0</p><p>Cat v magpie battle: soon.. =^.^=</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/dating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dating</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/relationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>relationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistance</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistanceRelationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistanceRelationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NonMonogamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonMonogamy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FoxAndSquirrelWatch2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoxAndSquirrelWatch2025</span></a></p>
ABY BUT IN ALLCAPS<p>DAY 5<br>--saturday--</p><p>My birthday party!</p><p>We woke up relatively early to start prepping. We moved the furniture in the bedroom around so we could all squirrel away in there and just chat and hang out.</p><p>I got some amazing presents, including a bunch of pins that were funny, some tshirts, a tea mug with bees on it to keep here (which was amazing, because it feels like a deeper level of acceptance into this family). Greg got me a few pairs of plugs (for stretched lobes) I've been looking at for a while now and I'm super excited about wearing them because they're so pretty!</p><p>People arrived around 12md, and we all had some drinks and took whatever bits and pieces people wanted to be taking, then we spent hours just chatting and hanging out together. It was comfortable and fun and felt really lovely.</p><p>About half way through a GIANT bouquet of rainbow coloured roses arrived for me from Greg and his wife, which are stunning.</p><p>Greg and I snuck off for a bit of a play, and we went to bed around 3am.

ABY BUT IN ALLCAPS<p>DAY 3<br>--thursday--</p><p>We woke up very early, around 5am. My clock is still wonky after all the travelling, and I still have a bit of jet lag which is manifesting mostly by a drop in energy around 5pm.. but it's nowhere as bad as it has been on past trips. We spent some time chatting, edging, and planning the day before getting up and having breakfast. </p><p>We popped past Tesco again to pick up the needle tips for my insulin pens because I forgot to pack them, as well as a chicken to roast for dinner. We got bubble tea on the way home, mine was strawberry and lime with passionfruit popping bubbles, and Greg got a coffee. It was nice to be out and having a bit of a walk, but the weather is chilly and rainy here, and I'm acclimatised to Australian summer at the moment. </p><p>Once we got back home we planned to have a nap. Greg's wife had been in South Africa for the past week, organising her mother's funeral.. and she arrived back last evening. Greg wanted to nap before the drive to Heathrow, but we ended up in another edging session. </p><p>He has one of those little click tally counter, and has been using it to keep track of how many edges he's had.. it was fun to be the one pressing the button. We chatted about some people he's been chatting with on an edging server, who are interested in playing with him, and one who is interested in chatting with me. They sound nice, and I think it'll be great fun to watch him top someone else. </p><p>He left to pick up his wife and the friend she travelled to South Africa with, and left me with instructions for roasting the chicken. Once they got home, we all chatted a little and ate dinner (roast chicken and salad), before heading to bed. We didn't play last night because he was too tired from driving.</p><p>It's lovely to have his wife back home, and I'm looking forward to our weekend plans.</p><p>Foxes seen: 0<br>Foxes total: 3</p><p>Squirrels seen: 0<br>Squirrels total: 0</p><p>Bubblea tead: yes</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/dating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dating</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/relationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>relationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistance</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistanceRelationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistanceRelationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/kink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kink</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/edging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>edging</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NonMonogamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonMonogamy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Cat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cat</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cats</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CatsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CatsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ragdoll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ragdoll</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FoxAndSquirrelWatch2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoxAndSquirrelWatch2025</span></a></p>
ABY BUT IN ALLCAPS<p>DAY 2<br>--wednesday--</p><p>We woke up around 6.30am, although I couldn't tell what time it was at all.. it looked like it was both 3am and 8am because of the light pollution bouncing off the cloud cover (All hail the Glow Cloud!). It's been too long since I lived in a city, and I'm not used to light pollution like this.</p><p>We played a little bit. We both enjoy edging Greg, and have been playing an edging game for the last few weeks. The game means that Greg edges when he wakes up, each time he goes to the toilet during the day, and before going to bed each night. We had a chat about it and have decided to continue the game so that we don't get to have an orgasm until my birthday party this weekend, when we're both going to be tripping together. So there were edges and spanking, and lots of fun.. but nobody got to finish anything.</p><p>We got up and had breakfast, and finished the episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht that we'd tried watching the night before but couldn't because I fell asleep. Then we headed out to Costco for a bit of a shop.</p><p>Costco was busy, but fun. We picked up groceries, snacks, and I got some dog toys to take back with me. I didn't get a hotdog (mistake!), but we'll probably visit again before I head home. Interestingly, Costco hotdogs in the UK are beef and taste different to the Australian Costco hotdogs.. but are still fantastic. We also stopped past Tesco and picked up a few other bits and pieces, and then headed home.</p><p>Once home we had a bit of a nap [read: fuck], and he let me leave a bite bruise on his bicep. We snuggled, and then got up to have dinner (chicken and broccoli salad) and watched an episode of Criminal Record (Apple TV, with Cush Jumbo and Peter Capaldi). And then headed to bed early. We played a little more, and fell asleep.</p><p>Foxes seen: 1<br>Foxes total: 3</p><p>Squirrels seen: 0<br>Squirrels total: 0 dammit</p><p>Costco hotdogs: 0<br>Orgasms had: 0</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/dating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dating</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/relationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>relationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistance</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistanceRelationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistanceRelationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NonMonogamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonMonogamy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/kink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kink</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/edging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>edging</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/sex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sex</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FoxAndSquirrelWatch2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoxAndSquirrelWatch2025</span></a></p>
ABY BUT IN ALLCAPS<p>DAY 1 <br>--tuesday--</p><p>I arrived last night!</p><p>Greg picked me up from Heathrow and we got back to his at around 4pm.. my sense of time is all weird because of spending days in a hotel, then days on planes and in airports, as well as light levels being very different here.. and my audhd means I have a poor time sense anyway.</p><p>I got a shower, unpacked, and we snuggled while watching some TV. Greg went out and picked up fish and chips for dinner.. which were as amazing as I remembered. My favourite UK thing to eat is chips, because they're like the chips we used to get in Australia when I was a kid.. hand cut and twice cooked. </p><p>I fell asleep with my head in his lap while he petted my hair, and we ended up going to bed around 8.30pm because I was exhausted... until we got to bed, then I miraculously was wide awake again, for long enough to play a little bit. After which I slept really well.. but I always sleep well after sex, I'm a creature of simple appetites. </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/audhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>audhd</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/dating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dating</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/relationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>relationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistance</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LongDistanceRelationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongDistanceRelationship</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NonMonogamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonMonogamy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Cat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cat</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cats</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CatsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CatsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ragdolls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ragdolls</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FoxAndSquirrelWatch2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoxAndSquirrelWatch2025</span></a> </p><p>- - SIGHTINGS - - <br>Foxes: 2<br>Squirrels: 0<br>Cats with hairy toe-beans: check ☑️</p>

ABY BUT IN ALLCAPS<p>I'm flying out on Monday. I'm going to the UK for 6 weeks to visit Greg, which feels long overdue because he wasn't able to come to Australia in June, so it's been a year since we saw each other.</p><p>Because I have to travel from Bathurst to Sydney before flying, I get a hotel room the night before. It means I get to shower and sleep in a bed after spending 4 hours on a bus, and before spending 24 hours on a plane.. and dealing with all the pain that brings.</p><p>Because I'm flying on the Monday, it means travelling to Sydney on Sunday - but there's no bus on a Sunday. So that means going down on Saturday and staying in the hotel for two nights.</p><p>I don't mind.. I quite like hotels. They lean into my appreciation for liminal spaces. I'm thinking of re-watching Severance over the two days, just because that feels like it fits in with hotels and airports.</p><p>Anyways, I'm looking forward to being with Greg again (and his wife, and their friends.. I miss all of them when I'm home).
