Melbourne

it is better to pack a random bag of dirty clothes to the laundromat and miss a number of items than not do any laundry at all.

I don’t really like the mint and tea tree body wash these days.

After years of using multipack soap bars in cardboard I saw the recycled plastic bottle and thought to try it again… the smell isn’t too overwhelming but it’s weirdly moisturising with the feeling of a residue and even on a loofah or puff it doesn’t actually clean you well?

Using it up as shampoo on my hair.

I can hear a singer playing an acoustic version of Faith by George Michael. Such a lovely evening 💜

throat feels like a gave a razor a BJ. Do not rate.

Did anyone see the meteor shower last night?

God, I am feeling... dead. I wish to take today off but I also want a long weekend, so I'll just have to grin it and bare it until Friday.

I wish I could knit and play Baldur's Gate at the same time...

Edit: I feel like I could. It'd just be during cut scenes and combat. But sometimes they're so quick I won't be able to do the knitting.

My guest has overstayed their welcome. I don't know how this fly got in but it's been hanging around and popping up randomly in the last few days but I found it following me to the loo just now for a two-ey and I think that's the last straw.

You know what chatGPT is good for...? Coming up with inane responses for a PDP.

Been super aroused lately, smashing blocks of chocolate. Fuck me I'm a pig rn. 🤢

Why does air conditioning have to be soooo expensive. But I know this summer is going to be rough so I guess I'll have to bite the bullet.

Anyone here have recommendations for a good yoga youtube channel for a beginner with very low flexibility, dodgy knees and a lot of fat?

I know this has been discussed in the Daily thread previously but I forgot to save it.

Laying on the couch, wearing nothing but my oodie is such a pleasurable and decadent experience, it should be illegal.

sigh bliss 😘

Finally braved the cold to open the gates and it's still bloody foggy out there.
In other news, the cats now love Coles Purr cat food. In fact Zooki loves it so much she shoved Sammi out of the way and helped herself from her plate. Usually it's the other way around...

Fuck family are annoying. Mum still refuses to do some ten minute reads about having a trans kid so she still treats me like a fucking man. My son was asked to house sit for my sister for a fortnight, so she just plonked herself along. Now I can't stand to see her because it fucks with my head so I'm missing quality son time, which I've been missing a lot, cos he's terrible at messaging, but super present when we spend time together. He was the first person to know I'm trans and has been awesome.

Mum called me daddy yesterday and has a very, you're a certain aged person when I was excitedly showing them how my baldness is receding, I've told her a dozen fucking times I'm a 14 year old girl mentally right now. Can you please show the same sensitivity? Acceptance of my new superficialities are nowhere near enough. Her and my sister have been very no, you tell us what you're going through, even though I've explained multiple times that it's painful to talk about the insensitivities they show. There's so much support around for families of trans people, I've given them the advice and showed them how to access it. As I've stated again, multiple times, if I had autism or was blind, they'd be across it of their own volition, but this all comes across like they think I have some kind of choice over this. I've had so many shitty experiences with being trans in the last month and it's starting taking a toll.

Online Orders 1 Week Delivery Challenge update: order 2 of 4 has arrived today.

This is the one which came from South Australia too, Auspost are killing it! My 2 remaining orders are from Catch so we'll see how that goes. I know one of them is being shipped by a 3rd party not Catch themselves.

Japchae for dins tonight.

Have all the bits including mushrooms.

Been following a different one normally but tonight giving nagi's recent one a go. Seems legit.

So we've switched over to a better Internet provider than Optus. But for some reason some websites work and some don't. Like YouTube is fine, but Mastodon just doesn't want to work. Twitter kind of works, but like other streaming services don't work. It's very weird. I'm getting better downloads and uploads than I have previously, but this is so weird
