Got what from everything I can tell a real email from uber with a verification code to login and I haven’t logged in today. That means that, assuming it was real, someone got my password right.

Aaaand then I spent an hour resetting a bunch of passwords and deleting all passwords from Microsoft and Google (I use an external password manager now).

While digging through privacy and security stuff I did see that someone tries to unsuccessfully login to my Microsoft account every few hours from various countries around the world. I’m guessing that happens to a lot of people whose accounts are old and have been involved in breaches of services you sign up with them with.

Glad I have multifactor authentication setup for all the important stuff.

Head north = Find sunshine

I think I’ll head to the border for the night so I can smash out another 6-8 hours of my audiobook (Pet Sematary read by Dexter’s Michael C. Hall). I’ve been meaning to check out Yackandandah for a while so I can go by there as a detour on my way home tomorrow.

Plans: sorted. Well… nearly. I need to see if I can find a room up there.

Edit: sorted.

I’ve tried loads of those mattresses in a box. I can tell you that Sleeping Duck is the best of them and worth the money. Ecosa was the 2nd best.

Here’s my notes on them from my notes app:

• Ecosa (very good)
• Koala (a little soft but good)
• 624 (not bhad)
• Eva (meh)
• Macoda (quite good)
• Sleeping Duck (tres bien)
• OneBed (meh)
• Hugo (no bueno)
• Bed in a Box/SleepFirm (too firm)

There’s a very real possibility that I’ll need to confront probably my most important life decision ever soon. I’m trying to mentally prepare myself for the possibility of having to even consider it. If I do need to, I need to find a way to be at peace with that decision.

It’s a doozy too.

Anyway… almost weekend time woo. I think I might have a drink or two this afternoon.

If you’re being a menace like me and unchecking boxes, throw in random TABs so the people TAB+Spacebaring end up unchecking some lol

I have undone all your good work muahaha

Why am I so tired today??

You ever wonder if you’re just tired a lot or if you’re actually Stage 3 something or other and just haven’t gone to the doctor? I think I might have hypochondria.

Hungry Jack is dead to me. How dare he.

Modern tax return stuff is so good how it already knows about all of my dividend and interest payments etc. Most things are auto-filled but I just need to crack open my google doc I keep with my expenses I put in and keep track of purchases I can claim, whack that stuff in there, get briefly mad at how much tax I pay every year and then hit submit. Probably takes me about 10 minutes. 15 with a double-check of everything.

It can’t have been that bad! Surely the trampoline park had its ups and downs.

Went for a random drive in this awful weather (which I quietly love) with no destination and found myself stopping into bingo. I’ve missed the first 2 sessions but there are still 2 remaining so LESSGOOOOO

They call me the big baller bingo caller. They call me big mack daddy dabber. They call me Nanna’s Bane, ender of the elderly.

Hey look, fire.

Now it’s like you’ve been to the festival! Plus imagine yourself lining up for a $25 pulled pork or beef roll.

NOOOOOOOOO that’s my favourite lolly shop! Although she doesn’t take card and that has annoyed me.

Also I’m totally going downstairs in shorts and a hoodie… that’s my winter wear. Just vapin it up before I go and be around people.

Wow the music down at the Firelight festival is louder than any music I’ve ever heard from any event and that includes NYE celebrations. Usually the music barely registers with me but it’s proper loud. Yelling get out of my yard from the balcony has proven unsuccessful. Stupid festival. Might go down there soon just coz though.

Agreed. It sparked the vigilante in me and a lot of others in there.

10am service… finished by 11:15am. Noice. Wasn’t anything wrong (as you’d hope with a brand new car) so easy peasy. My first 2 services are free too and that’s my favourite price! I had my day almost completely booked out for this but it was super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I’m set up with my laptop in the customer lounge of the Subaru service centre while my car gets its first service. They’re using the “Public Transport” heater setting so it’s a billion degrees in here. Otherwise it’s actually not too bad… there are free drinks, snacks and WiFi!

Oh I forgot to mention something from the kiddos music students performance thingo on the weekend which I noticed. 95-05 era fashion is BACK!! The kids looked like they were transported directly from my youth. Baggy/grungy looks are in, which pleases me as it was the most comfortable time to look cool.

Happy Birthday! 🎉🎉🎉
