Three years since Dad passed and it still feels like yesterday. Feeling a bit broken, please send puppies.

Took Miss 10 to see the Xanadu musical production today. Was wonderful to see the fans I made in action and wow these children can sing! Thoroughly recommend if you're in Chch.

Just finished calligraphying (that's probably not a word) seventy certificates for the actors, crew and helpers for my little theatre group. Got me thinking about people just getting stuff printed and my calligraphy skills are a dying art.

Thankfully work was busy so I didn't have time to fret!

He made it home and is exhausted. 5 hours sleep apparently. He wants to tell me all about it tomorrow.

It's weird now. Last day of school finished and it went on to my father being in traffic in America for about 30 seconds and now it's the showjumping phase of the 1998 World Champs. Thoroughly enjoying it, thanks Dad but can't understand how it happened.

Miss 10 found a DVD of my last day of primary school that I filmed and Dad must have converted at some point. I'd never seen it. I had no idea how hilarious I can be, my 13 year old self is Oscar worthy.

Thank you! I had no issues with Miss 10 going away for camps and holidays but my precious 15 year old with autism is a whole other kettle of fish.

Dropped the Lad to an overnight organized Hackathon event an hour ago. Due to COVID and his Crohn's it's his first time ever being away from family overnight. I'm in pieces and trying not to call him.

Someone sent me a beautiful video of this and I can't remember who... I'll try and find it.

After round two: "How many do we have?" "Can...I mean may have these for breakfast tomorrow?" "You can get these at the SUPERMARKET?"

She sounded like Brian Blessed with her "ARE THERE NO CRUMPETS?" hence the caps

Captain Rainbow Princess Unicorn @mycaptainplush.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Me to Miss 10: You need to eat something, would you like a muffin split? 10: ARE THERE NO CRUMPETS? I DON'T LIKE MUFFIN SPLITS Me: Have you ever had a muffin split? 10: No (Five minutes later) 10: Can I have another one, they're really good

Because the moon is very full and beautiful tonight I introduced my daughter to "We like the moon" the absolute banger from the early 2000s. I already have regrets.

New temp (looking like not so temp 🤞) job has made me realize how fucking toxic old job was. I missed a meal on a docket today and instead of being screamed at and berated I got told off for over apologizing and "we're human, we all make mistakes"

After a busy shift at my temp job which included changing two deep fryers and a busy evening service I decided to stay up until 2am making 3 litres of vegan nacho mix and 2 slowcookers of beef nacho mix for today's drama showcase so I could sleep in this morning. I did not sleep in.

Captain Rainbow Princess Unicorn @mycaptainplush.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Yay! Hope it went well, I'll be home to hear about it from them later 🩷

Just finished a little introductory shift for a temp job for the next month or so. Apart from cutting my finger (why do I always do this first shift?) I think it'll be fine, fingers crossed.

Hemming approximately one million costumes and WHY DID I NEVER THINK OF THIS UNTIL NOW.

Silver fabric being inexpertly roll hemmed using stainless steel pegs in lieu of pins.

Glossing that up in real estate language I guess it's "established permanent indoor garden feature"

Mine would be "yes, the 50+ year old Hoya Carnosa is included because it is most likely part of the structural integrity of the stairs and we don't want to investigate otherwise"

TBH if I had this ceiling I'd turn it into Catan.

Can something nice happen today? It's my birthday and I haven't read any nice news.

It's my birthday tomorrow and because the Lad is going to be away he gave me my present tonight, an absolute riot of a card game called Muffin Time. Highly recommend.

My daughter crawls under them and I'm tempted to join her.

Captain Rainbow Princess Unicorn @mycaptainplush.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

All these parenting forums with questions like "How many weeks until you can take your baby outside?" The Lad had his first trip to the pub when he was eight days old so I was obviously the worst parent ever 🤣

I'm often feeding theatre kids on a budget, buying a bag of popcorn kernels to pop and salt then put into sealed bags is a lot cheaper than buying pre-popped. Scroggin is great brain food (not sure if you have to be nut free, I leave out the nuts)

Is PGU now going to make an industrial strength laundry/dish rack?

Do previous elections count? I have a t-shirt from the 80's I found among my father's possessions.

I'm pretty sure my children are mine because I birthed them but yesterday has me questioning... The Lad: I love calculus! It makes so much sense! Miss 10: I want to kiss my crush but I don't want to have a teen pregnancy

You need to add the episode of Monk when he's Dale the Whale...

My daughter's school bell music was Islands in the Stream today so I'm hopeful tomorrow will Sweet Transvestite. Or at least Time Warp.

I need a cross stitch of that pearl of wisdom to hang by the front door for my children.

A bit upset I couldn't call in sick because Tim Curry is "not a family member" Cause growing up he was definitely that eccentric uncle that made me realise it is all good to embrace your weird.

Crying at school pick-up because the bell music is Islands in the Stream.

And the reason it has suddenly got so uncomfortable is the separate mattress topper we bought and put on the wrong side has lost its cloud factor.

Captain Rainbow Princess Unicorn @mycaptainplush.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

So last night M ordered us a new mattress because ours is getting super uncomfortable and I suggested we flip it over while we wait for delivery and he said no, because it's a cushion top...turns out our mattress has been UPSIDE DOWN for 5 years.

Meanwhile grey and white tabby is being very vocal from a distance and had an altercation with another cat on the road so I'm now trying to prevent a cat brothel or something.

Captain Rainbow Princess Unicorn @mycaptainplush.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Just caught the grey and white tabby trying to shag Porchy so will do a please get your cats fixed post on the Bookface tomorrow. Porchy is delighted I'm looking after her and has moved closer.
