Melbourne

Alright, Veggies are in. Toddler consumed minimal dirt. Call that a win.

A particular ball of floof doesn't wanna play today.

Just got a call for an interview next week from a job that closed a month ago. I'd assumed they didn't want me and moved on. Job hunting is so weird.

I just saw a crested pigeon. I couldn't think what it was called so I googled "pigeon with a mohawk". I also saw a fairy wren the other day too. Beautiful birds.

I'm done with this uni course in two days. Kind of wild. Might get donuts from nearby to celebrate the end of a pretty miserable chapter :) and onto the next

nice day outside, got some errands and then I might have a look at some art stuff/paper/books :)

might look at some new printers too , the last one just wore out

also, Ted chose to sleep in his stroller last night. It must be a safe place for him, which is good. :)

One of my colleagues brought their 10 month old King Charles Cavellier to the (very quiet) office all day today. Got many pats and licks. I miss living with dogs 😞

Logged into my email and teams this morning just to check. Manager said, to log off and enjoy my day.

Ps5, music and cat cuddles it is!

Edit: Playing titanfall 2 atm, brings back so many memories. Multiplayer is surprisingly still alive.

Oh jeez. Just spoke to (78yo) mum and she had another fall. Last one was 2 weeks ago going down 2 stairs. She's just not stable on her feet and her vision is poor. Main thing I'm worried about are hip and head injuries.

I'm going to have to convince her to wear a fall detection device which will be a difficult convo. I succeeded convincing her to give up driving (when I'm looking) but it just feels like I'm robbing independence / making her feel old.

Some fuck has been flying a quad-copter over my place for a few months now. I want to build an RF jammer thing but it's a $1.5 million or up to 8 years in prison penalty :( My only option is to convince the resident magpie to take it out.

Extreme pollen again tomorrow and then 35 degrees on Wednesday. I should do all of my errands today but I seem to be moving very slowly.

Can't decide on a horsie tomorrow? Let me and my trusty darts and blindfold help you. Theres 24 to choose from. You say go and I'll shoot for one. Giddy up.

I'm about to play with a heat gun and some PVC after a few glasses of wine then sunset swim wish me luck erryone it was nice knowing you all. If I don't make it you can have the contents of my freezer.

Its monday and i still have a whooole weekend to go w00t w00t

Time for a nanna nap

Happy extra long weekend to those that are bludging it today.

My kid loves darts. I think I've found her a sport.

My hands are fucking rekt after two hours of finely hand chopping kale and my lower back and knees which were already acting up are not happy today with all the bending and lifting and standing around doing food prep and carrying stuff up and down those crazy outdoor steps. My aunt was very overambitious with how much food she wanted to make today, I noped out of going along with them to deliver because it was so chaotic near the end, and I am ZONKED and need energy for tomorrow to start the real culling/packing now that I have the Good Boxes and Tape courtesy of my lovely colleague.

But it was really good to spend a whole day using my hands and doing good stuff for others, with others!

Aunt might drop by with leftovers in the arvo which I can't complain about :) now it's time for dins, Nurofen and a good restorative sleep...

🔵How does it feel

💙to treat me like you do?

🦋When you've laid your hands upon me

🌀And told me who you are

Another night, another screwdriver

Spent 2.5hrs cleaning labels and glue off 20 jars to give to a colleague who is lending me some boxes for packing. Jeez what an ordeal. Especially the really stubborn glue that I needed oil to remove (rubbing alcohol might've been better). Not keeping any more jars after this...

It was a great day otherwise though, cooking was well received and it was definitely great to get away from the city and be with others, off my phone (but also be able to leave before hitting my limit). Felt like I had permission to just take it easy and relax. Roads were nice and quiet too. Really glad I took Monday off, the extra long weekend is good for my nerves to recuperate.

Today I'll drop off the jars/pick up the boxes, then head off to help a relative cook and pack a whole bunch of food for the homeless.

4 horses left double or nothing? Not really. Could be nothing? 🤷‍♀️

*gamble responsibly.

I was in the between stage of going out and getting something to eat.

Was umming and ahhing if I should do it or not and ended not doing it.

Maybe tomorrow if things are open as I have to work half a day.

Good night everyone . 💖💖💖

Anyone else? C'mon lurkers say GO! I can make your lucky day.

I'm frustrated that every night before bin collection some rando parks right in front of where our bins need to be placed. I put them where they're supposed to be but it risks damaging their car on collection and I will not be a dickhead and put the bins around their car which would block them in. What do you do? I have to do the "missed collection" request with the council far too frequently due to this and the best ideas I have is either leave a note or buying traffic cones :/ Every bloody week this happens.

i dun wanna go to work
