Got curious and ran through the tax refund calculator. I forgot that I’m juuust on the cusp of Medicare levy surcharges being payable which is going to mean that I owe.

Has me wondering how the fuck single people manage to make any headway. I’ve put off going to the dentist so I can keep going to therapy, try to stretch things as much as I can, but paying the levy is still cheaper than any private health insurance. It’s at a point where I catch myself wondering when the dog will be old enough to kick the bucket and free up a substantial amount each month. Fuuuck.

so busy today. late finish and couldnt really be bothered cooking, so broccoli, pesto and chilli soup with garlic-y croutons from the freezer it is (fresh croutons).

want to watch the cricket but will probably end up falling asleep on the couch, giving myself an old lady stiff neck/back for work tomorrow.

in good news, soup was delicious.

Finally made it to ACMI with the kids today, wow I can't believe I've never been there before! One of the best museum experiences I've had, we all loved it. Then hit up Minotaur for a squiz and finished at sushi train for a bite. Great day out 👍

Little Bastard Hair

Got bumfluff all over my face,
The tiny hairs are pale and thin.
Though in one particular place,
A rebel will sprout upon my chin.

Darker and thicker than all of its mates,
Growing long when I forget it's there.
A careless caress, I'm filled with hate,
Rip it out, curse it, that evil hair.

Damn bot. Title now updated, it looks like more work on days of the week is required.

[–] ReadEverything@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

Just don’t sing it the Happy Days theme to teach it or we might end up with Whattaday. Although I do like the idea of an eight day week, an extra weekend day obviously.

Something appears to be very much on fire in the city. Edit: kings way appears to be closed, looks to be near crown/convention centre.

Anyone else contemplating N95 masks and air purifiers ahead of this likely El Niño summer? Not sure whether they help much.

Also good lord these antibiotics I'm on make my saliva taste bitter and metallic.

Current word is it could be bad but because ground moisture levels are elevated it won't likely be catastrophic like a few summers ago..

The summer after though...

Dragons Den Canada is the best. It totally undoes the stereotype of Canadians being polite. Just brutal roasts.
