Poo. Still positive.
I don’t think that’s how you’re supposed to do those tests… :|
Gee, so that’s why the swab made me wince … ;)
Jeez. How long has it been?
Eleven days since I tested, twelve since the symptoms hit. Spoke to the nurse at my practice and she said it’s not surprising as I’ve still got symptoms, and this variant tends to linger, but if I’m still coughing next week give them a call and they’ll reevaluate.
slept really good the last couple of nights, but had an emotionally draining day yesterday. Only thing that seems to help is music. I feel like I could put my head on a pillow and sleep in 3 second.
Some kinds of music really have an effect on my brain - just allows me to settle without realising it. It’s such a good way of reorganising the gunk
Crazy tooth pain tuesday night, saw my dentist yesterday, tooth extracted (2nd one in 2 months but it had to go), today is pretty much pain free with like no soreness in my gums or jaw. I’m glad, but also odd.
yikes! Not ideal. I had a mate describe a root canal as the worst pain he’s ever experienced. Takes his dental hygiene VERY seriously now.
This was going to be either a root canal (got quoted 3k for it) or a pull. I opted for the pull as it’s instant and about 1/10 of the price.
Interestingly enough, I brush twice a day, floss daily, avoid sugary shit etc. Sometimes it’s just genetic unfortunately. I inherited my dad’s crappy teeth instead of my mum’s.
damn! So do you have to get a replacement? Or can you work with the teeth you have?
Plenty of teeth left still :) One day I’ll to SE Asia and do a full rebuild. The one that was pulled a few months back was a wisdom, so no real loss there
If it’s not your up front business teeth, I reckon you can get away with missing a few.
Yeah it was a back one. Apart from a few wisdom ones it’s the only one that’s been removed.
Partner has hyperdontia, aka Sharkmouth. Genetic and apparently a generation skipper. Losing a bunch of teeth to several violent things turned out cosmetically better?!?!
My wife has that!! She had some removed in her early 20s (jaw was too small) before her wisdom teeth grew in. She got those out about 15 years ago. All up she still has more teeth than me and has had like 6 or 7 removed.
Crazy
If patterns fall your grandkids will be fine and the next lot be very expensive. Apparently his Pop could stop a bar fight by smiling.
I have never felt pain as bad as tooth pain. Last time I was lying down on the floor at the dentist in tears waiting to see the dentist. Fucking awful shit.
I can assure you a ruptured ovarian cyst is worse in the instant, but it goes away. As do kidney stones. Dental stuff drags on and on. Much worse than single shot near crits.
Had such a weird interaction today. I’ve been trying to buy Road Dogs by Elmore Leonard. Book Grocer had it and have had it for ages, I finally took the plunge because I can pick it up from the warehouse when I’m in Melbourne. I put it in my cart, but before I decided to buy it, I did a quick check on google to see if I could get it cheaper anywhere and saw there was a signed copy on ebay. He’s one of my favourite writers and it’s pretty cheap but coming from the USA and the shipping was more than the book (go figure). I asked the guy if he’d consider shipping with someone else who might be cheaper (instead of ebay global or whatever it’s called) and he replied overnight not having a clue how to do that so I figure it’s not meant to be.
Go to bookgrocer and Road Dogs is gone. Not available. They must have sold it which is so highly coincidental that it gets sold on the day I finally decide to buy it. But you snooze you lose, right?
So I check on facebook marketplace and some guy in Balaclava has it and is selling it. So I message him today asking if it’s available.
He says yes.
I ask how much.
He says $7.
I figure bargain. I asked when is he free, I’ll be in Melbourne over the weekend.
He tells me when he’s free.
Great. I’ll grab the book.
Then he asks where I am coming from.
I tell him Bundoora.
He says it’s a bit far.
I said that’s fine, I’ll have a car.
He says ‘but if you factor in time and petrol, it will cost more than shipping which is $10.90.’
I got a bit annoyed because who cares so I said, don’t worry, I’ll get it elsewhere.
Dude talked himself out of a sale (though I figure he makes a couple of bucks on the shipping so his $7 turns into $10 maybe).
Yeah,I attempted to help a FB friend of friend with an utterly unreasonable budget for their request with other options. Resulted in combo of /r/choosing beggars and serious questions about mental health
You know how some days you seem to have really great focus and get all your work done so well you surprise yourself? This is not one of those days. At least there’s only about an hour left, then I’m free to go home and hope my lack of focus does not extend to forgetting to put the bins out tonight.
My landlord is actually really good. House is pretty shit but he’s a really chill guy. Feel pretty lucky. I wish I could transport this place about 10kms closer to the city.
My daughter’s at Coles and she texts me to ask if I want anything. So I sent a shitload of texts back in a row. Get donuts. Cinnamon donuts. Or whatever. And biscuits. Any biscuits. I don’t care which ones. You want your dad to pick you up. Hello.
Pay backs ☺
made a long to do list last night , I have pretty much done none of it so far but I did measure the chairs so I know how big to make the new covers
hope the new covers will look cool, they are a patchwork of different tapestry fabrics, just have to match the colours , rust tones with rust, greens , etc etc
3 things crossed off , easy but at least I did them
I’m so, so, so tired.
I think gym this morning is the reason. It’s day 4 of 6am wake up and I think I’m almost normal.
I’m eating dinner, kidnapping the cat and going to bed. Goodnight all ❤️
Keep it up and you might be able to make 6am thr regular time. Push through!
I have had a realisation that todays kids will never experience a life where they are not under constant observation. And it’s probably willingly. Social media, tracking aps on phone from parents, data collected on their preferences for any media they engage with, smart watches that monitor movement and sleep, etc.
It depends on the parents. We let our kids go off together a lot more than most parents. They both get themselves to school, and have done so for years. We’ll let them go off to the park unsupervised etc. Older kid goes off for a couple of hours at a time on bike/train adventures. Yes, his phone has tracking on it, but he leaves it home a lot and honestly I ever used it the first week to verify it was working.
that will change as they see the abuses that can and will happen
I accidentally downvoted you for the last couple hours sorry
At least I hope so. Some Euro countries have already had law cases about excessive underage exposure. But I can see it going the opposite way in the US
what do you mean by “it’s probably willingly”??
I need clarification, but without it, any way I can interpret that as a is very superficial and probably a very unrealistic conception of what “today’s kids” need from/experience as life
I mean there are reasons these services are used, like wanting to know how many steps we took, engaging with peers, know where other people are located etc. Not saying it’s all doom and gloom. Just observing that it used to be that you could go around walking, sleeping, shopping, socialising and watching movies without data being collected for every tiny life detail. It’s just different, that’s all. For younger people it’s normal, but for older people it feels… I dunno, like something has been lost that will never be gotten back.
So I have a decision to make.
Do to get my headlight replaced after work or do I save it for the weekend instead?
REALLY depends on the car. My old car was SUCH a PITA that I swore I’d never DIY again each time I had to do it.
My model car is a PITA, I’d need someone to do it for me.
One of those engineering masterpieces that needs the wheel to come off and the liners removed to change the bulb I’m guessing? 🙁
🙋♀️ ooh I know that feeling. Luckily I have a great mechanic who did it for a 6 pack.
That’s one way to put it, It’s a Mk 1 Honda Jazz.
Do it after work so you can have the weekend to yourself.
How much driving are you doing in the dark?
Very rarely as I don’t go out at night.
Darkest it’d get would be when I leave for work at 7 in the morning. I get home relatively early in day.
Do it after work and then it’s done 🙂
If it’s just the globe (which it probably is), you can do it yourself at any time. Supercheap would have the right fitting globe and there’s definitely YT videos on how to do it. You can probably even do it in the carpark without any tools.
Depending on the car and model of course, but it should be quite straight forward.
Get it done ASAP
I’d need someone to do it for me too. The job isn’t as simple as reach in and pull the globe out.
Ah gotcha. Not ideal then.
Oh joy. Notices of a rent increase and a full day power outage. Must not shoot the Postie.
It’s Mickey’s oodie now.
Fen would like to offer Mickey some warm pizza.
😍😍😍
Winter solstice, time to burn stuff and make a joyful noise
Jelly. I love a nice toasty fire
Good aussie tradition that. Burn shit in a drum.
I thought it was 6:50 am tomorrow? Either way burn all the bad out of the year 🔥🌓🔥
6:50am is an impractical time for campfires though, I hope to be snoring 😴
Now this hotel doesn’t have very good soundproofing (at this point I don’t believe any building in Australia does) and I can hear everything happening in the hallway and the rooms next to me. BUT I’ve got a splitty in my room and I set it to come on if it goes under 19 and this is great. So much easier to wake up when it’s not like 5° in your room
I still couldn’t get a very good sleep though. Dozed off again at 5:30 or so and woke up again now. But tonight I’ll have a better sleep
