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, Iโve become such a home working slob. Quick wind down then off to bed as I gotta do it all again tomorrow. ๐ด

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..
You're doing really, really well! Things will settle soon :)
Go you!
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. โฅ๏ธ
Night night. Sleep well
Goodnight โค๏ธ
I feel terribly cold, suppose I better go back to bed
good night all ๐๐๐
Night!
Stupid packages havenโt been sent on the same day.
I hope the one delayed arrives by Friday or else itโs 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! ๐ค
Hellooo ~~(Frank Walker from national tiles)~~ forcey! How goes it?
Good to see you back. You missed strawberry day, but are just in time for golden syrup pudding ๐ฎ
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)
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.
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
Oh well, plenty of time yet!
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
Be sure to post some pics!
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:
So cute! Did you camp down there?
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
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
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!
Confirmed, this is me
BAKU โฅ๏ธ

I was worried about you, mate. Iโm so glad to see you pop back up
Hey Baku.
Welcome back!
I hope youโve been well!
Heya
Yay Baku's back, alright!
Good! Well a bit stressy but good. How are you friend?
Hey Baku. Good to hear from you! I'm good thank you. Yourself?
Great to hear/see (read?) you CEO! I'm doing better these days :)
WE LOVE YOU BAKU ๐
Today is the day of the hearts
๐ฉท
Yay!!!! Nice to see you back, a bright light in a difficult week (for me anyway)
Digging holes...filling holes.
Digging holes...filling holes
What comes outta one hole goes in another....
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
Turd burgers! Ripped the stocking I bought an hour ago
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!
