Melbourne

Got my payslip.

Picking up the car on my birthday Saturday!

It's all coming up millhouse!

Also, a story in 2 photos:

Then meowing for my to get her down....

Well the meeting wasn't too bad. Still got blamed for the inadequacy of the project team, but the heat was lower than expected thankfully ❤️

Edit: Just got a call for another job that pays 1/3rd more. Fuck it let's see what happens.

Had one hell of a psych session... big emotions. Good session but the kind that you need to sit down and process for 30 minutes afterwards. I had thought I might pack my shoes and some other stuff tonight but it isn't happening. It's been a big week and more to come with the real move coming up.

I am not being lazy or weak, I am pacing myself 👍

Surprise! 1st strawberry from the patch this season. Was watering and thought.... hmmmm..... something red is hiding there. 🍓

Bro rocked up last night finally to 'see' mum.

Just sat there and spoke about himself for 30mins.

Cunt. At least the old man is seeing him for who he really is now.

Pretty obvious won't be getting much help from bro.

Anyway so I've left the kitchen with a bit of a mess and I need to see what happens (I usually clean up). Pretty much testing severity / independence. I'm hoping I'll get a serve because that means she can see it, she can do it, how well she does it and mood which will be a good indication for steps that follow (for now). Low risk easy test.

Magpie meowed… I think I’ve been feeding them too much cat food.

Melbcat has been wrangled for her meds… she’s forgiven me and is now curled up as the little spoon

Interesting thing just happened. I was in the middle of writing a reply, but the time stamp said that I had responded 5 minutes ago. Yes, it was the time stamp for that reply. I checked.
This means that the DT is actually a portal that allows time travel into the future. Albeit not very much future. Not enough for stock market speculation, dammit. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Open mic is tomorrow at 9pm if anyone wants to come have a drink :)

Edit: I'm sorry I'm going to cancel. I've been dealing with this stomach bug all week and it's just gotten worse and worse.

Id rather not go, than give a lacklustre performance :(

Went to pick up some extra food for a few days and came across some bargains

3kg bag of oranges for 5 dollars and a bag with 4 bunches of chinese broccoli or something for 2 bucks.

Felt like I made off like a bandit and has left me fairly happy with myself.

Also this afternoon was way smoother with almost no hassles compared to yesterday’s drama.

Edit: I also grabbed some red wine and pink moscato.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!

Friend I met up with today said she doesn't drive because her ex crashed into a tree after she broke up with him and thought it was her fault. But she has spoken to me about driving on the ring road with her dad and driving to her sport practice. It's just that she needs a ride whenever I go out with her. Another friend wants me to pick up her too good to go box which is a 10 minute drive away. I feel iffy about saying yes because she constantly asks me to check if things are in stock for her at my work and asked me to help jump-start her car because she had no one else. I don't mind doing a nice thing for a friend, but I just feel like these people are using me.

is there a stomach bug going around? Kid got sent home with the shits yesterday but was in great spirits and wasnt on a hold so went back today and seems fine. Meanwhile I've got this feeling at the top of my stomach a bit like i wanna spew, but not quite? Had it for 3 days now, and it just comes and goes. not actual digestive changes however, its a bit weird. edit: feels like there is a rock at the top of my stomach.

Goodnight from the Red room❤️

Afternoon buyer has not shown up ☹️

It is very rude, Mr Woof has been waiting for his afternoon walk. She confirmed she was coming just a couple of hours ago!

sky blue, I did reading on the tram , got a new planner

and some art books

It was a successful trip. 🙂

Trying to play financial seer since our fixed mortgage term is up in December and we're trying to work out if we should lock in a two or five year rate in case it all goes to shit.

Musks antics are not helping

Ugh, no luck with confirming the couch move so far (and tbqh I'm really tied for time tonight). I'm starting to think it won't happen and I'll have to move it to my friend's place.

Meanwhile I have at least confirmed the movers for Monday morning, that's a big tick. Think I'm just going to take the day off so I can clean up after and shit

Good night everyone. Sweet dreams. 😘

After many phone calls tonight I can now finally have dinner.

Watching some shows then I’ll hit the sack.

Left over beef ragu pasta for lunch and I am so excited. Hurry up, 1:30pm.

Also wondering at what point I'll snap and stop making sensible decisions and run away to Europe for a month.

What's everyone's favourite dessert?

If it's cake I'd say chocolate for me or black forest as long as it doesn't have cheese in it.

I also like making a bowl of jelly with fruits in it.

TIL The Cure has been around for nearly 50 years 🤯

Clients asking me if I can do their work for cheaper. No! I give you a fair price right up, this isn't a negotiation. Yet I feel the need to say, yes of course I can do it cheaper. Then I come across as a pushover and the next time I do work for them, they'll ask for cheaper again.

It's literally raining here and it's not on the radar. 🫥

It is now raining harder.

Went shopping with friend who wants to rebuild my wardrobe. Bought nothing but she bought some cheap earrings, only to leave the bag of them on the bus. I followed the bus in the car and she ran to get her earrings.

Shopping is exhausting. Very lucky to have such a first world problem. But I hate shopping centres and browsing.
