Gratitude thread!
Meal prepping yesterday for me
I have an overtime shift tomorrow.
I only had to go out to retrieve the bins today.
The new couch is extremely comfortable to stretch out on.
I’m working tomorrow but both places are warm and I get a cuppa and noms at both.Work was okay today
I’ve now spent as much time out of the house as I need to today. I can settle in and begin the coze
I made it through the day today!
Only 4 more to go till the weekend again.
Meal prepping yesterday for me
tonight a mealprepped curry here too. Pretty excited!
Having a split system heater
Fluffball
Having a job next week (I’ll believe it when I get there)
Defs jumping in da ocean for the sunset swim tonight.
Last time it was like that was in Jan. and it was extremely humbling.
Do not join my staff
but why? Are you trying to find holt?
~I get the swells but fuck that temp~
Yes but why
You’re mad.
You aren’t swimming alone are you?
I had my care team meeting today. I think it went pretty well. It was fun watching the shitshow of blame games, as well as the external people who just seemed shocked this happened at all. It looks like my org will reimburse me for the security camera and door alarms though, so that’s useful. It didn’t actually cross my mind that I could probably either make them buy it, or to just reimburse me for it later. One of my support people in the meeting was just like “so let me get this straight: you purchased cameras and alarms to keep yourself safe, with your own money, even though it’s their fault you have to worry about your safety in the first place?”
From tonight there’s no more overnight workers which means I’m on my own again. I’m not feeling unsafe or scared anymore, I feel like even if he does come back, I can handle it. But after thinking on it more, I don’t think he’s the type who would come back. I mean, he broke into my room while I was away and only did it before he moved out, even though it’s probably a logical fallacy on my part, that kind of just seems like cowardice. Plus, if he was planning on coming back, he probably would’ve by now
If you were an adult, I’d tell you to go to the ABC with this clusterfuck. Save it for when you’re safe, though, this crap needs to be exposed ugh.
I’m glad you’re feeling better and safer. I hope things keep improving for you! You’re incredibly kind and smart :)
I really hope someone gets fired for this
So is there any accountability or changes coming out of it?
Hmm… Well, I’ll see the area manager tomorrow afternoon, he’ll probably tell me he’s sorry for what happened but also it’s not actually his fault at all and in a roundabout way, it’s actually my fault. But that’s probably about it
Anti-gratitude thread.
First world problem. Phone is out of storage, and trying to put photos onto laptop to put onto external hard drive (laptop only has one USB-A port). It’s making the laptop very slow, so can’t do much else on it for the next eleven hours apparently, or unplug my phone. First it said an hour and twenty, now it says 11 hours.
Cold weather means my bones and joints ache a bit more. Bleh
thermal underwear
hot choccy and a heat pack?
I’m thinking proper stretching session, some weights and sauna.
iphone? Its got an option in settings to offload to icloud the high quality ones. Saved me a ton of storage. thinkin Im gonna need bigger than 128gb next time.
Android! My google photos is full too :(
My Win 11 laptop keeps trying to force me to try ‘New Outlook’ instead of the default Mail app. I’d do it, but currently Mail is an aggregate for multiple email accounts for my small biz and I can’t risk stuffing them all up migrating the accounts
I’m a dumbass sometimes. Returned and exchanged an item where I thought something was missing and it turns out the piece is embedded into the lid.
🤦♂️
A restful evening after work it was not :(
I have an overtime shift tomorrow.
Work all week. Spend weekend recovering from exhaustion. Repeat. Life not very satisfying ☹️. At least my cat naps on the bed with me.

And my dining companions are excellent company, too
I could wear make-up and curl my hair,
Commence my glow-up and start to care,
I’d colour myself amongst the rainbow,
But what for and why? I don’t know.I want to be pretty like the girls on the net,
But I feel quite petty when my eyes set
Upon my face and the way it exists.
But what for and why? It just is.Is it the web that makes me feel so bad?
All the cute girls on the street, I feel so sad.
I’m sure if I tried, I’d look like a queen,
But what for and why, so I could be seen?I don’t crave attention, I’ll promise you that,
I like staying home with my coffee and cat,
Should I do it for me, and try to be pretty?
But what for and why? Now I sound petty.👋🏻
Hey g, what doing?
Hey Baku! Was up early - I am going to a virtual conference in USA time later this week and trying to get myself to wake up at 3am for a few days as training. Hope you have a mre settled week this week 🤞🏻
Ooh, what are you confarsing?
It’s an ecological conference in the states ( I do quite a bit of environmental work as part of my job). Am looking forward to lots of ideas but not the 3am starts
I have some terrible news … BreadTop at Melbourne Central is CLOSED. I don’t know if it’s permanent. This means my mornings are much less joyful… And my life has extended by a few years.
Tigers den is pretty good for coffee and cakes.
But do they have face-sized ham and cheese sandwhich things for $7.72?
not face sized, but decent toasties yeah
Is the QV one still there? Haven’t checked in about a decade.
I don’t know whether it is still there, but I really miss that pide store at the bottom of Melbourne Central. Their goodies were so great.
There are a few types of street/fast food that were common in Melbourne that I can’t readily get in Perth.
get krispy kreme instead
duuuuude I watched a mouse run from the downstairs maccas to the krispy kreme the other day. I wouldnt eat down there.
Mouse-Certified Fresh
The last job I had in the city (3+ years ago) it became clear to me that the entire CBD is infested with rodents. You can really smell it strongly in some locations too.
oh totally. And on the basement floor right above a train station is practically inevitable. Still dont wanna see them though.
Back to onigiri instead
woke up at one point last night on my side, knees at a 90 degree angle with a pillow in between, feet resting on the spaces between the ball and heels and fingers interlocked. Ontop of this rain was pelting the brick wall behind my head and I have to say it was the most comfortable I’ve been in a LONG time.
There is an impeccably appointed Mercedes with a large decal of Psyduck on the side doing a circuit of Melbourne.
Behold the Psyduckmobile

I GOT MY PASSPORT 🎉
Congrats, crazy C-dog! How many times did it go between sunshine west and Melbourne airport?
I have no idea mate. I got a sms on Friday to say it’s been dispatched then it arrived today by my trusty local postie.
You don’t stalk your parcels???
I didn’t have a tracking number. Is there a way to do it without a tracking number?
Oh, I thought the passports were sent with tracking. If you got the notification it was being delivered, then it probably was being sent with tracking. If you don’t have an auspost account, it can be worth creating one because it’ll try and use your details to match parcels to your account if the parcel is eligible for tracking, even if you were never informed of the tracking number. It uses your name, address, email, and whatever else is on the parcel to try and link it to you
Oh. I will do that. Thank you.
Yay ⛵
✈🛫🛬
Yay, time to celebrate with lamb shanks!
