Had a massive day, just sat down to go through the happenings of the DT. Two days in a row not WFH is a shock to the system, Iโ€™ve become such a home working slob. Quick wind down then off to bed as I gotta do it all again tomorrow. ๐Ÿ˜ด

One warm mince pie with cream and Bailey's custard. I could go another one.

Ok maybe I did.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Fucking cleaning took so long even with the help of a friend because there was still Stuff that took long rob to load. Wish I didn't have overdue stuff to do at work this morning.

But i am really, truly, for sure this time 99% done - every last thing has been cleaned except the kitchen and second bedroom floor, it was too late for a vacuum. Tomorrow lunchtime i shall mop, take exit photos, drop off the keys and be done with moving out.

... next stage is moving in... I live in a fortress of bags and boxes. But first, my car is loaded up with shit that needs donating including a neglected bike (with good parts). Gonna try and temporarily store it at work so I don't need to be driving around with a whole ass bike in the back for the next few days.

Also, the check tyre pressure light came on even though I got a new tyre. More headaches! Rahhhh!

Good night everyone..

Had a really helpful session with the psych today. Talked a lot about why I am struggling to let go of stress and work and gave me some good exercises to help getting some structure back and some boundaries (for me). I picked out this time. She is kind but not afraid to suggest stuff - which is good. Practical.

Step one. Back to decent bedtimes. Night all. โ™ฅ๏ธ

Stupid packages havenโ€™t been sent on the same day.

I hope the one delayed arrives by Friday or else itโ€™s going to get wet. :(

Hello peeps

How goes it?

Edit: love you all, thanks for the welcomes! Have a photo of the cat that comes to visit me sometimes, most recently a few days ago!

Hi Baku welcome back! ๐Ÿค—

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Hellooo ~~(Frank Walker from national tiles)~~ forcey! How goes it?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Good to see you back. You missed strawberry day, but are just in time for golden syrup pudding ๐Ÿฎ

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

THERE'S A STRAWBERRY DAY AND I MISSED IT??!?!?!?

(Maybe for the best. I forgot that I garden, and let my strawberries die, and went from a dense forest planter box of dozens down to 2 green sprouts I'm not entirely sure aren't weeds. I'm a fraud)

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

You're back! Fucking grouse man! This is such a tight little group, you know some people miss you when you're not here. I had to look at trains because you weren't here. I mean, I look at them anyway, but I thought of you and wondered if you were also train enjoying. Well, were you?

Edit; had alcoholic ginger beer at a park near a train station, sorry for effusive language. I'm ok.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Ay thanks!

Actually, no, not really. I caught a train home on Halloween (after a bit of a tiki tour around on the trams), but that's about it

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Oh well, plenty of time yet!

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I'm heading off on vacay next week, so I'll have plenty of time to catch trains then

Even plotting a trip to the railway museum, if they decide to be open

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Be sure to post some pics!

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Always! Remindns me, a few days after taking my break from here, I went down to Willys prom (one of the few places I hadn't been). Saw the cutest baby emus. So cute! I almost want one

BABI:

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

So cute! Did you camp down there?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

No camping from me, unfortunately I don't even know how to, but it was still a cool trip. On top of the cute emus, there was also a cute parrot (?) with zero fear response trying to steal my chips. It kept landing on the table and walking up to my chippies, and every time I tried to shoo it away, it would hop back a step then just stand at me like "what're you gonna do? Hit me??"

The criminal wannabe chip thief in question:

It's great to see you back here. It must mean things are going well again

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Cheers Tom! Things are going better, I've been seeing a psych regularly, and am moving out next month. A little spooky, but it'll be nice to be like... A proper tenant with rights and all that fun stuff. The only downside is power companies are confusing, and I'll have bills

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I'm also BakuToo now, I'm not sure if I'll switch back to AZ yet, or stay on my SJW account, but just know I'm a real Baku, too!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Confirmed, this is me

Working from home feels like a rest after such a big weekend. I want to focus though so I can work on other things the rest of this week

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Turd burgers! Ripped the stocking I bought an hour ago

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Stockings suck. I gave them all to a mate of mine to practise cricket on the clothes line.

Finished work early and.. just didn't feel like going home straight away. So I'm having a cheeky can of alco ginger beer in a part of a local park not frequented by children and their company or youths (I dislike drinking around children and will actively avoid it). Might have an extra can too. Because fuck it, that's why!
