Need the tall boy to help replace fluoros in the kitchen. Need him to raid the snack shelf. How can he not be here for Halloween? This absence. I hate it. I’m still waiting for Ash to appear in my dreams. #ash

I’d like to type out all of the stuff that’s been going through my head, but the possibility of someone calling me out on it is just unbearable at the moment. I would agree with everything they said.

I will never watch the live streamed execution, just as I will never watch the Melania documentary. I reject Trump in all his fucked up incarnations.

Can’t wait for the next and final episode of the 7 up series.

I’d been wondering if any more would be made after Michael Apted died, so I was thrilled when I heard there was going to be one episode more. A similar series was made by Gillian Armstrong, which is worth looking up. A consensual peephole into some lives over almost a lifetime. How lucky are we!

Once the fuckwits are gone what shall I do? Clean up after them, obviously, and Ash’s room too. But what then? Can I write Ash’s story, the last few days anyway? Do the portrait? Bake? Garden? Bring my mum home? Find some fucking purpose to my probably next 10 to 15 years? A root’d be good.

Fuckwits are gone. The most infuriating thing about that whole situation is how easily it could have been avoided if we’d just been able to talk to each other, honestly. They’re coming back tomorrow to pick up some shit and I’ll clean up after them and then I’ll never have to think of them again.

And really, fuck you Universe, the number of shows I’ve watched recently which feature *surprise hanging!!* is just ridiculous.

Ash’s exit has been as unnecessarily complicated as his life. His remains were given to my cousin, whose father (Uncle Jack) died a few weeks later, but he very kindly returned them. His photo montage didn’t work at the funeral and neither did the longer one with playlist at his wake. I miss him.

Ash was cursed with an introverted mother and brother, which infuriated and enraged him. But he loved us too, as we did him. So we all got along together just fine. He wanted a big life. He shoulda just tried for longer. I hate the finality of this.

A decent safety net, my son not being gone, billionaire’s throttled, community groups being cool again, people saying what they actually think, but tactfully. These are few of my favourite things.

I’ve been missing Ash a lot this week. Just like last week and the next week. His absence is so LOUD.

Just so I’ve written it somewhere, let me posit this thing: why would I refuse to give written notice if that’s the only thing that’s keeping you here? I don’t want you here. My theory is that you’re lazy fuckers who thought you could get away with shit. Written notice given. Fuck off.

I gave them so much notice. And I haven’t been a cunt, I just stopped talking to them because I’m a passive aggressive loser. But I have my limits. All they had to do was initiate a conversation!

I have to be strict with the fuckwits who were/are my son’s friends, who have been living here at his invitation for months. He’s been gone for months.Wednesday is d day. They’ve had so much notice. I fucking hope they get shit organised before the family gets called in.

I might be able to find myself but it will always be without Ash, and I might be able to live with that, but his absence will colour everything I ever do.

Ryan Murphy productions give me the shits in so many ways, and yet I still watch them. Monster: Lizzie Borden is particularly stupid but I’ll watch it until the end. And then berate myself.

I’m staring at this next drawing, the one I’m doing to avoid starting the big one, and I’m all reluctant to make a new mark even though I know what has to be done.

you think that after meeting luke skywalker, jabba asked bib fortuna if he thought luke was kin to that famous pod racer?

And the reason I’m fixating on this at the moment is because I fucking bought a box of frozen cheeseburger bites This Morning, and they were gone when I got home in the arvo, and they didn’t.even.ask.

The trouble with watching rich people shows is that I get carried away with the thought of suddenly discovering that I’m part of a family trust and having like six figures in the bank, and the practical applications of that.

And impractical, because I would go batshit crazy with buying stuff as soon as the dollars hit the bank. But I’m sure I’d get over it. I’m old now.

Watching ‘Succession’ again and it’s obvious that these people do nothing, they are not serious people but fuuuck, I’d like to be Tom’s kinda rich, the bit wot he’s trying to teach Greg in the first season; just doing nothing but talk on the phone and bullshitt people. And they pay you for it!

Nearly two months. I’m just toodling along, doing random shit, and all of a sudden I’m stricken with the enormity of the loss of him. He was so funny. I miss the banter. I miss him. #ash

Although recently I’ve been very oblivious to what the date is. Fucking September, are you kidding me? (I know this is cliche aging bullshit but it gets really bad).
