    I proposed a Canberra trip to my aunt and she said maybe. One state / territory every year and they will all be ticked off in five years.

    Canberra has a Costco and Aldi next to the runway.

    I need to stay awake for at least another hour. Going back to work tomorrow is a terrible, terrible idea, but I’m great at those.

    Who’s got some great dad jokes for me??

      A young moth was going out into the world for the first time. When he came back, his dad asked him how it was.

      “It went really well, dad”, said the young moth. “Everyone was clapping for me everywhere I went!”

        Reminds me of another moth joke …

        A moth goes into a podiatrist’s office, and the podiatrist’s office says, “What seems to be the problem, moth?”

        The moth says “What’s the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Illinivich, and all day long I work. Honestly doc, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know if Gregory Illinivich knows. He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness. But I don’t know, I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there… at night I…I sometimes wake up and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm. A lady that I once loved, doc. I don’t know where to turn to. My youngest, Alexendria, she fell in the…in the cold of last year. The cold took her down, as it did many of us. And my other boy, and this is the hardest pill to swallow, doc. My other boy, Gregarro Ivinalititavitch… I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes, all I see is the same cowardice that I… that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only I wasn’t such a coward, then perhaps…perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all…Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I’m a moth, just barely hanging on to my web with an everlasting fire underneath me. I’m not feeling good. And so the doctor says, “Moth, man, you’re troubled. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come here?”

        And the moth says, “‘Cause the light was on

    I’ve got the tennis on in the background while making dinner and all I hear from the kitchen is loud grunting and yelling. I’m doing my best imitation of it.

    Skies darkening with thunder. It’s about to go down. A rainy indoor day is just what the doctor ordered too.

    It finally happened. Had to pull a floater out of the bath last night. Can’t believe it took nearly 2 years to happen.

    Bucketed on me and my friends head as soon as we set up chess pieces in the park. Then had to help her calm down to drive for the first time in rain, and it was severe with flooding streets etc. escalated quite quickly! I’m home safe now but the streets were fucked. Friend confident getting herself home after a pep talk

    Everything is making me angry and sad, I’ve been trying to work out why as I recognise it’s irrational.

    Turns out, it’s just my stupid uterus making itself the centre of attention again 🙄 such an attention seeker, it would fit right in with a mean girl clique lol

      I just ate 3 of those cadbury popping candy elf things. I don’t even like popping candy, so I guess I’ll be joining you at the mean girl club tomorrow.

        I just teared up before because I’m so over these carpet moths. I think I got them, and then I find more 🙄

        My home smells like vinegar lol

        And I cannot wait til I get menopause and after, this shit is so damn annoying 😂

          They briefly came back for me too. I think they’re getting in via dry goods from the supermarket so I’m going to go back to putting that stuff in the freezer for a bit when it arrives to kill any eggs.

          And I bought more snap shut plastic containers (though that’s not always moth proof)

          I find vacuuming the carpets to get any eggs helps the most of everything after that

            My big vacuum is farked, it started smelling like burning plastic. So I’ve been charging the small handheld one and going room by room. It’s hard because the carpet is very thick and woolly - I’m just mentally struggling with it all I’m sorry 😔

              Nooo I didn’t mean it like that. :(

              I’m also struggling hugely with vacuuming because of the noise and the energy. Was just saying that it seemed to work more than the vinegar

    We went to the Diamond Valley miniature railway today for a birthday party. It’s huge compared to Box Hill.

    Fortunately we got the last ride out of the way before the rain came down and just had to do the rain under the gazebo whilst it really bucketed down. A memorable end to a great party
