I took the seasons for granted. I think everyone did. π

Yay weekend! Guitar, video games and cat snuggles for the evening. Then out to a bar crawl tomorrow night! I'm too old for a bar crawl but fuck it why not?
Funny how a little bit of warmer weather can just make moments feel... peaceful.

Whoo! Home time! Today's comment is brought to you by Ubering in a Tesla. And by home I mean going to my partners place πππ
Thank god itβs the weekend, it was a long day at work, particularly since it was supposed to be my day off. I hope we at least see a little sunshine βοΈ sometime during the weekend.
Gah. Got all stressed and scratched parts of myself where I was I starting to heal.
This is going to be a long and painful process.
I feel like the universe hates me and is doing everything it can to break me.
The universe is a cunt. It doesnβt care about any of us. Thatβs why weβve gotta care for ourselves!

There's a crack in the paint work near my lounge room window and it irritates me.
If you had $5000 to spend on yourself what would you spend it on? Not including bills nor can you give it away. Totally self indulgent. I'd go straight to the book shop, then the pub and then uber home with my books.

My brain cannot word today. I sat through meetings wording like a toddler.
Sky sort of pretty, but I don't like the forecast. Laundry might have to be Sunday unless I run out of socks.
In other news, I have been informed that my bike is now ready to pick up from bicycle hospital. It sprang a leak in the back wheel on Wednesday which has now been fixed. For the princely sum of $40 or thereabouts. Love livin' in the inner north.
after lunch i will take a nap, as the weather demands
I will be lazy at work, and drink wine after, as the weather demands
