Trala’s Tent

What's that weird branch sticking out of Mimmy. She is looking lopsided!

haha.. just kidding. Thought I'd mess with your OCD.. cruel, I know.
I'll say it for her - 'You cruel fucking bastard' hehehe :cool:
 
Hey tra absolutely hated having to go into the back room to take my sickly sweet medicine,,
Fukin chemist looking at u like u gonna rob or stab them,,
Swallowed the green goo and threw it back up in front of them ,,an the chemist turns round and said I can't give u more ,,,don't know how much your body absorbed
In the 5 seconds it was in my gut I think u can guess how much my fukin aching body absorbed so had to go an do some illegal shit to sort me out ,,
The only good thing about getting a script was when I started getting it weekly it gave me the chance to cut all ties with anyone still pumping it their arm
The old schoolers still line up for their nip of done. Suboxone is the preferred treatment now I think. I remember looking around the share circle at Narcotics Anonymous, I hadn’t used in a good while (can’t remember now and I’d be guesstimating). People sharing stories, and I felt so stuck. I didn’t fit into the real world, and I couldn’t go back to my drug world. All I knew is I didn’t want to be a woman still sharing a story in that circle for the rest of my life. I think the hardest thing getting clean for me is not knowing where I was meant to go from there.

Took me over 15 years to realise that people don’t see a dirty junkie when they look at me. And I mean literally 15 years, and to this day I remember the exact moment. It was like taking off a heavy filthy stinking cloak. Now I share my story with a sense of pride. I mean I still cringe thinking about things I did back then. But I survived, slayed my addiction and created a new life.
 
How neat and clean and beautiful they are. Regal ladies you grow Trala!
Thank you :)

I love a pretty garden.

Might be the prettiest clone I ever did see...
Do you know I think they are too!

There’s two clones in there. One Peyote and one Tangerine Dream.

They still look great this morning too. No soil wilt you get 24 hours post chop. :)
 
So 1,2,3 back to me…

I read (I think it was Shed) sharing clone advice, saying striking clones in perlite is good. And I watched the poster they were advising strike the most amazing clones using this method, so after doing a bit of Operation Canopy Carhooking™️ on my little monsters today I had some ideal cuttings, so I decided to give it a crack. I’ll let you know how they go.

And a midweek update on my girls. Mimmy is taking on a beautiful shape, well I think she is. Thanks for that advice btw, it has made me so happy. While I’ve lost her canopy, she is a shape I can live with. I can’t wait to defol her. She’s gonna be tutu pretty just like my Shiskaberry was, I just know it. The little monsters are starting to look promising. I’m slowly filling out their middle areas. They all have nits unfortunately. They are on a third daily treatment regime atm.

LOVE how you made the cutting a centerpiece for your table - and even got the Christmas decorations in as well!

And your ladies basking poolside in the sun look like they are simply LOVING the good life!
 
Yeah unfortunately for me after the kids started leaving the nest I'm back in that land of limbo ,don't consider myself a smak head anymore
In the past several years I've found myself in the company of smakheads shooting up,, maybe twice and there's no pull for it ,,I look around at them and I'm glad I don't have any craving for it finally free of it all
But I don't think I'll ever free myself of the green goo and I've accepted it
So I don't think I'll ever lose the junkie tag even if I'm a state sponsored junkie

I am sad for you. I have such huge empathy. But there through the grace of god go I and that.

I 100% know I’m always just one serious heartbreak from getting on. Last time was my grandson. At 6 weeks he became critically unwell. I’m talking Careflight chopper to the childrens hospital, blood transfusions and major abdo surgery. In my mind he dies, I’m getting on. He didn’t die.

It really is the ultimate pain reliever for both physical and psychological pain. A funny, like most ex junkies I spent my first two years of recovery a hypochondriac. I’d not really processed pain for so long. My first real headache I legit thought it was a brain tumour! I was just obsessed with pain.

Our methadone is orange. Like a sunrise ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ Only Aussies will get that btw. Great joke lost.

I am known as the junkie whisper at work. I am fluent when speaking da lingo, I know exactly how to create rapport and I am ALWAYS their advocate. We had a sad case maybe 2 months ago. Woman in her 30’s developed a staph infection at the injection site from more than likely a dirty pic. Easy fix really IV fluclox for a while, but she left it till she was septic and her arm went black. She lived minus her arm.

And babe we never truly lose the tag, even if we alone are the only ones to think of ourselves that way.
 
Hey here’s a pic I took on my morning walk. I literally walked into someone’s yard to take it. I heard “pretty aren’t they”, scared the actual fuck out of me, the owner was hidden behind a bush while sitting on his veranda. Thankfully he didn’t mind my trespassy ways lolllllinggg.

I really need to stop procrastinating and grab this day by the balls.

I hope you have the best day ever :)

So a bit of a Trala Christmas tradition, my grandson and I make my son shortbread every year. This is our third year making it together and I have to say, cooking with a 3 and a half year old is fucking horrendous. “I do it GiGi”, I big boy GiGi, I do it”. I had shortbread dough from arsehole to breakfast hole.

Though I have to say, when the special ingredient was added, which of course is love it made it worthwhile. Look that’s bullshit, when he added his special ingredient, which was mucus particles after he sneezed in the mix, I literally clutched my fucking pearls.

He even ruined my smug post by INSISTING his dinosaur be included in my pic.

This recipe tho. It was given to me by an 89 year old Scotswoman I used to clean for many, many years ago. It is a handwritten recipe she gave me, and each year I think of her when I ruin it. They say you are only truly gone the last time your name is spoken. Her name was Margaret, but she was known from birth as Bunty. I have no idea why.

Merry Christmas Bunty ❤️❤️❤️

And side note: my FILTHY tiles have be CRINGING!
 
Sorry for the pearl-clutching and cringing T! This story had me lolling all over the place! But, the sweet story of the recipe is heart-warming nonetheless.

(Did you try my sugar cookie recipe yet?)

Not yet but I will :)
I know you arranged it perfectly though
They don’t call me the OCD Princess of Perfection for nothing… Actually no one calls me that, but they bloody well should!
Precious times cookie making! We usually have cookie day here for all to come and get baked and make cookies. Stopped for the flu. Maybe again someday, it's a lot of fun. What are the dots in yours?
Hope so :)

They are an Australian delicacy. They are called Phascolarctos Pellets otherwise known as Koala shit. It’s expensive, but it’s sooooo good. Just kidding they are choc bits. My son loves choc chip shortbread.
