There wasn’t one yet.
Got Christmas plans sorted for the first time in years. Despite me saying “Im not flying with a toddler! they wanna see us they can come here” I’m apparently flying with a toddler. Sadly someone has to come back early to watch the dogs as the pet sitter only works to the 28th or something, so tragically I think I’m gonna end up with a few nights alone which hasnt happened since the birth of Tinyest. Pretty excited!
awwww yes. Time to game in underwear
Hell yes living that bachelor lifestyle. Gonna cook thing of meat and salad and thats what i’ll live off!
every time the hubs is on a work trip I spend the first night cleaning everything, then the rest of the time swanning about in a bra and trackies eating chicken tendies and enjoying the house staying clean
Found a video on my phone of myself playing Beat Sabre on the PSVR from awhile back.
I need to chop the video up and maybe upload it to youtube.
Makes me feel like I should get into it again for some cardio.
Soooo still haven’t heard back… Beginning to feel uncomfortable

Reasons why I stay when I despise my manager. Related job posted today: 6 grand less, talking to public, oversee whole other branch of stuff, look after kids… and have a qualification that does not teach the most relevant skill. Fuck off.
The new sewing machine inspired me to finish a simple job I’ve been putting off for ages - I have sewn a zipper into a cardigan my Mum knitted for me ages ago. The machine sews beautifully, I’m very pleased with it.
I had a dream where I got picked up in car with a kangaroo in it. I sat in the passenger seat but because I was sitting in it’s seat it had to sit on the driver’s lap (it was the driver’s pet) it’s legs were spilling onto my side. I asked if I could move the roos leg because it was digging into my ribs. The kangaroo hissed at me.
When we got to where we were meant to, they were giving away some cool stuff like electronics and collectables and there wasn’t much stuff left but someone had kept me a Snoopy dog mat.
That’s fairly atypical.
Yeah. I never have exciting adventure dreams.
In a tentative sign that I might finally be kicking this stupid cold/flu/whatever, I just had to stop work and make emergency pikelets. I haven’t felt like eating anything for a week so this is good.
…my garmin watch did give me a heartrate warning while I was doing it so I think a couple more days on go slow is a good idea
It’s always a really good feeling when your appetite returns! Definitely sounds good to ease yourself back in though
o washing day o washing day, I’m washing all the clothesies
Ugh I don’t wanna
why is it I cannot purchase clawed feet to put on my furniture as I wish. Surely mankind has progressed to this point.
Schotts emporium in Clifton Hill.
Ohhh i ain’t falling for that again.
Peanut fer scale
Surely someone can 3d print them… I’d like some cat paw feet for my couch when you find them.
3d print, yes, but they will not be structural
I’m sorry to have concerned anyone yesterday.
TW medical
I’m making every effort to take care of my health, have been involving advocates and have shown up to the ER repeatedly.
Unfortunately medical care for rare or chronic illnesses involves a lot of barriers, jumping through hoops and waiting. I have been seeking help and answers for a very long time.
I have been seeing specialists and have recently had to change hospitals because I wasn’t getting anywhere with the previous ones and they don’t perform the procedure I now need.
I’m currently being handballed between a private specialist and a public system that is dragging its feet. Even if I convince this doctor and pay out of pocket the earliest I could see him is September. I will also continue to attend the ER to build a relationship with the new hospital and try to expedite things further. (I have an existing referral to their specialists that has already been expedited but I could still be waiting a while.)
I will continue to do my best to get the treatment but it’s likely to be an ongoing struggle and I’m not 100% sure that I will get it soon enough.
Horrible subject. Normally I don’t talk about it. The only reason I even posted is that things are getting serious so I wanted to warn you guys and give you ample time to adjust to the idea if by some chance I don’t make it.
Thanks for the update - I think we were all a bit concerned. If this eases your mind, I’m fairly sure someone here (might even be me) will take care of Melbcat if needed in a hurry and you don’t have time to set up a preferred option. I don’t have a cat at present, so can offer no charge care in my home which is cat proofed in anticipation of getting a cat in the near future.
Thanks so much.
I’m stressed about it but if worst comes to worst I’m speaking with a support worker about taking Melbcat. With luck it won’t need to happen but I’ll get my ducks in a row.
I’m sorry you’re going through such a hard time. I hope that between the private specialist and public system can at least offer support for you 🙏
I mentioned earlier that I had a video of myself play Beat Saber.
I’ve uploaded it if you want to have a look.
Song is Believer from Imagine Dragons
This was done some time ago. I really need to get back into it as it’s lots of fun.
That looks like terrific fun.
It’s very fun, more so with songs that I enjoy.
Maybe I’m finally out of this thing 🤞 Not much coughing, not quite as congested or lethargic, sinus tension is minor and mood feels positive. Was so fed up with being in one place that I’ve given the kitchen counters and sink a good clean (incl grotty stove top - not cleaned for a month), and vacuumed the place (nearly two weeks overdue).
Ah, cleanliness! Health! Healing! I feel much more deserving of dinner and a movie now ☺️ Just need to have a nice warm shower and pick something to watch… Been on a Robin Williams streak as I haven’t watched that many of his movies. Day before yesterday was The Birdcage and The World According to Garp. Last night I watched Awakenings, maybe I’ll watch The Fisher King tonight. Before anyone says it, I recall watching What Dreams May Come before he passed away and I am NOT watching it again for fear my entire sinus will come undone.
Fisher King… Right on.
I spent a few hours trying to tidy up outside today. I was planning on doing gardening, but ended up deciding to sweep the patio and pavement instead. It was still kind of calming though. I could spend a month straight sweeping it and there’d still be more to do, but at the same time I can still see I’m making actual progress. It was soothing.
I really need to tackle the mess I’ve created inside. It’s been hard to get started, because I also have to clean up the mess the last kid left. The program manager cleaned most of the obvious stuff before I got back, but there was a bunch she didn’t notice. Stains in my fridge. Dirty plates in the cupboard. Random phlegm in a cup. Etc. He also went through my cupboard and stole or fucked with a lot of my food, and tipped flower and sugar all through my cupboard, which is on me to clean up too.
It feels so violating having people go through my stuff. I noticed clothes that I had in a bag tipped out, and my paperwork box rifled through, a few empty product boxes I kept had been pulled apart and torn up. It makes me feel so violated and upset. I wonder if he did that specifically to make me as upset and cause as much damage as possible. They make us fill in these fucking stupid all about me things where you have to list your likes and dislikes. I listed one of my dislikes as people going through my things or entering my space without permission. Not going to make that mistake again, that’s for sure
Sky pretty.
So pretty! Best sunset in a while.
Since there’s 2 anti-gratitude threads, I guess I’ll do a second gratitude thread (it’s all about balance):
- I’m alive I guess
- I’ll fill this in later
I’m grateful there’s two gratitude threads
