It is finally Spring Equinox. When will it get warm? I’m tired of the months of rainy, chilly weather. Need warmth to lift my mood.

Man, I'm in the Stranger Things brainrot that I want the Scoops Ahoy ice cream from Coles. But not for $10.

Work prompted us to start thinking about taking leave over the xmas/ny break (same as every year) and it seems like a good idea to start planning for it now rather than leave it until the last minute like I did last year. Every year before last year I was in a position at work where I could justify being essential support staff while others went off on leave, then I'd take my leave when they got back from school holidays. Last year and now this year I'm no longer in a support role so I had to and have to take some leave.

Last year I ended up paying a fortune in hotels doing a road trip up to the gold coast and back because it's the most popular time of the year to travel and hotels do be gouging. I was lucky enough to win it all back gambling but you can't bank on that happening.

The last thing I want is to be sitting here alone in my apartment as the new year rings in, as I have a few times before, so what to doooo... drop some coin and go on a cruise? Another road trip?

If you had a couple of weeks to fill and money isn't really a consideration, what would you do?
