All of a sudden I’m prompted to sign in to this instance every time I open it. ?? Why it be like that?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Quite often it prompts me to do the same, but it seems to remember I'm already logged in after 5 seconds or so

Yay, my first ever penalty rate shift at new jerb starts at 7. I'm physically a but stiff and sore, so the 5 minute warm up routine will be a must today. I also need to quit vaping. Now I'm fitter I can notice the crap way it makes me feel. I'll take my own advice I gave spud last night and use those nicotine lozenges. Probably just switch my addiction over, but at least my lungs can have a break. Vapes are waaaay to addictive and I was born a freaking addict which is good to finally understand and know I have to accept it.

nterestingly, people are proud of me for taking positive steps and doing actual work on my substance abuse problems. Also, thanks to realising I'm trans, I really love my body now and only want it to grow and change with quality new parts. I don't even care I have a slowly re-growing bald dome. It's going to be interesting to see how much hair I re-grow so I'm growing it out and it looks crap as. Wigs and hats fix that.

EDIT: happy saturday everyone.

Looks like many of us are napping today. After going grocery shopping and eating my delightful meal, I went to nap at around 11am. Got up at 12, but was falling asleep. Back to bed until just now. Guess I am exhausted 🥱

I was very close, but I've deputised the cats to do it for me.🤭

I have become one with my oodie, my oodie is me. Where I end and it begins is shifting and blurry.

After midnight
We're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight
We're gonna chug a lug and shout
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
Give an exhibition
Find out what it is all about

So…apparently there are four missing people in a Defence chopper crash. Their families have woken up to something fucking horrible.

Couldn't sleep so I watched Babylon.

I fell asleep happy thereafter.

I have no idea why middle america got offended, it's what they want, it's what they vote for, it's who they are. Exploitation and amorality with no judgement . Reality is not pretty.

A mirror, a modern picture of dorian grey.

The dwarf on a cock pogo stick was inspired.

I give it 4.5 hobbitses.

Coles texted me that my delivery couldn’t be made and to contact them. Gave me a small credit for it but they’ve still got hold of the main payment. /facepalm

Googled to double check it was the legit customer service number, talked to a robot on the phone who sent a chat link…

Clicked it and it did seem legit but the whole thing skeeved me out. Exited and used the online form which I should have done in the first place. I really don’t like texts about ‘issues’ with deliveries and being asked to click links to external sites. Even after asking a friend if it was safe Coles could really have gone about that in a less sus way. 😬

Thankfully I have enough to cover an urgent Woolies shop but I would rather they have just cancelled the order and refunded the money.

Have now gotten dizzy 3 times from the position of laying down and switching sides and 1 from just looking at my phone. Love that for me.

Alright, time to remove myself from the nest! I've got a market to attend, a dinner party to cook and prep for, a floor to vacuum, and sheets that need changing.
