Melbourne

Everyone's asleep, teleporting through time,
Everyone's alive, and that's truly sublime.
We carry our doubts with us through life, But know that I love you, you are destined to thrive.
I know you struggle through fears, and you're teary,
You're stronger than you know, even though you are weary.
Persevere and summon what energy you can,
It'll get better, I'm honestly your biggest fan.
Sending you my love through all time and spaces,
When you find happiness, let it show on your faces.

Not a good day to be in NSW at the moment. Farken

Oh no found a dead lorikeet. Probably flew into the window poor thing.

It will get a proper burial.

I will say a few words.

Up close they are very beautiful.

I might have a nap.

I feel like shit and was so tired that I was really late with kitty's breakfast.

Edit: Apologies for just... dropping that rant. This area was always a bit rough and I've handled it but I feel like things have really deteriorated since covid and it's driving me spare

So are we getting anything other than gale forced winds and pissing down rain this summer?

Quite a few drivers around not using headlights in this weather, and it's really not smart.

Perfect day for doing fuck all and eating pancakes. Might read a book later. That's my Saturday night lol

First round of Christmas baking is a win. Sugar cookies (vegan for some folks at work) turned out ok except the frosting is a bit soft. Gingerbread dough is resting overnight in the fridge.

Dinner may have been bikkies....bit of a sugar high going on here right now.

I'm ready for bed lol. Starting to get excited by the new job Monday. I've spent all this time getting my sleep schedule in order, I haven't actually thought much about the reason why.

So I'm client services manager/project manager.

I'm replacing a guy that's been there 18 years, which is a good sign I guess.

I have low expectations with all corporate work, so I'm always pleased when it's not as bad as I expect.

Money is good, enough to save a fair chunk for a house deposit if I stick it out. Who knows. Could be an absolute shit hole...

I try not to get too carried away spending the money I haven't made yet lol

But first paycheck I'm buying myself a nice birthday/Xmas present. I always look forward to that 🥳

Melbcat has had supper, is all sleepy and having a cuddle. Poor old baby is just so happy to be home.

So much rain today. Have been so lazy. Spent the last 2 hours on the couch listening to a audiobook. Contemplating if I have a very early dinner or just snack.

Booked tickets to an advanced screening of Priscilla. Directed by Sofia Coppola.

I found ~$870 in my personal account (not the normal joint account). Super confused, I had to Google "quinn emanuel takata" to see why they paid me this money in October. Turns out it's for the Airbag recall debacle 10 years ago or so. I don't even have that car any longer.

Oh well. It's nice to have a secret stash of money this month. It makes it easy to hide Christmas purchases from my wife. 😃

Poh tay toe

was pretty sick just before so made some tomato soup and toast and am feeling a little better

So of course this weather inspired me to take on a quick project. Scrunchies are harder than they look even with quick easy instructions.

Methinks not fluffy enough. 😑

In retrospect I should have done my laundry yesterday while it was silly warm.

Dinner is done, time for some R&R.

Thought about scootering to the South Melbourne market for a poke around. Looked outside. Maybe I'll drive.

Brought up the idea of adopting a cat and my housemate seemed up for it. Before adopting, is there anyway to foster cats to see how we're going?

PSA

good day

to clean the crumb tray.

Update: still fucking roasting in NSW but I hear the cool change is hitting the southern coasts so hopefully it will reach the southern highlands in an hour. I am so overheated. Drank 500 L of water... So glad it's a cool night

Because I use this site in a browser I keep forgetting it exists 😂

Hey the Renegades didn't win but at least I get a hot drink in the morning.

Made a bolognaise sauce and a savoury mince and veggie dish, plus home made chicken nuggets for the kids. Have had a splitting headache ever since Miniest broke her laptop last night. I couldn't get my old laptop to work, none of my chargers fit it. My Turkish friend down the road gave me Turkish delight, which cheered me up a little.

Introduced my wife to the Aldi potato gratin.

She loves it.

Today is SASSPANTS sataurday..

Me besstee a magpie walked inside today and caught it staring at its refection in front of the TV.. I was walking it outide and It stopped at the door and warbled. It's happened a few times before. Pure sass.

Amazing how it doesn't freak out though. They're evolving.

Attempts to go for a walk between showers did not work out at all. Mr Woof and I are now quite damp. Anyone got a towel?

Might have some toast to go with my Biscoff spread 🤔

Homemade Stroganoff tonight. Starting to smell real nice.

I have completely wasted today

Even after a good breakfast I've not managed to expuge some last night's awful sleep. Feel ridiculously groggy and lethargic, ughhh!

Good Bot. 😊
