every time i get Minimum Sleep for Proper Function the DT collectively gets weird dreams
there must be a causation somewhere
YOU. YOU NEED TO START SLEEPING PROPERLY BECAUSE I DON’T WANT THESE WEIRD DREAMS ANYMORE.
sorry
you’re the designated sleeper. Nobody told you?
But what about after eight
Actually now that you mention it, I did have kind of an odd dream. It was in 3rd person.
As Gibson?
That’d be pretty fun tbh. Sleep all the time, get fed and brushed. A total dream lol
We need to get you some sleeping pills because I’m not going to relive the end of the world tonight thanks.
I already took one when I went to bed late last night. I intend to go to sleep pillless and normally tonight
I had a bunch of weird dreams last night. I thought it was from a lack of REM sleep the night before, but this makes sense!!
Went to the aquarium yesterday, and saw this dickhead:
how does he eat?
Feeling a fair bit better. The sun is out and its a gorgeous day. I went for a drive to get a coffee and it was amazing. I just wanted to keep driving! I really REALLY missing my old car. I’d give just about anything for one last trip in it. I’d love to be standing on the dock at Cowes with a doughnut and the wind in my hair, or sitting at bar in Falls Creek with a alpine cider in my hand. Or the beach of tidal river with some fish and chips.
I heard from the family member who brought my car the other week. They love it, but financially looking to sell it cause it makes more sense for the business to expense a new one. I know I could buy it back, but it doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t suit the family, and its just spending money delaying the purchase of its ultimate replacement: but the replacement is still years away and I’m just stuck with the dadmobile SUV. Sigh. I shouldnt complain, especially after the events of that piece of shit mazda last year. but I can still be sad.
Trigger warning - potential burglary
I swear the shithole area where I live is doing my head in. Yesterday I’m pretty sure two guys were looking for packages to steal and/or casing myself and my neighbours.
They made a beeline with one guy walking and the other crawling behind him in a distinctive coloured car I’ve never seen before, the walking guy coming onto the porch and moving every single one of my bins to check behind, going around to my neighbours to presumably do the same, even looking in a nearby hedge. On the way out the driver then got out of the car and openly leaned down to look closely through a neighbour’s side window. Then leaving in the car with the first guy walking behind.
I didn’t bother calling the cops because they almost never come and even if they did the sus dudes would be long gone by the time they showed. They usually are. Also I’ve got the security cam footage of that saved on my phone but it’s a pain in the arse or impossible to send anything more than a minute long so I’d probably have to go pull it off the recorder box. But I might report it tomorrow in case they come back or have hit someone else. If the cops even care.
And before you incredulously ask how come I’m so blase about this and didn’t immediately call the cops - please just don’t. Don’t blame or judge. It’s pure exhaustion. It happens all the fucking time.
Over the years I’ve had different and even the same people repetitively trying to break in while I was home, and once physically chased a woman out of my flat when I stupidly forgot to lock the door. She was later arrested having snuck in and stolen the house keys of the old man a few doors down. I’m not even getting into everything that’s happened here. The cops generally don’t care.
So like. Yeah. Fuck this place. I’m just hoping I don’t get broken into or assaulted before I can leave.
No judgement, have also found police to be useless tbh. Hope you can move asap.
Oof. I’m sorry Melbs. I know the feeling all too well. I gave up with cops after they disregarded my call when a worker at my last place was being threatened by a kid who was holding a chair over her head and threatening to kill her, plus a number of other times either I or the workers had been assaulted. They can maybe 1 in 10 times they were needed, and always 7-8 hours after it had happened
Oof. I’m sorry dude. The cops are stretched thin and it seems if you’re in a certain area or ‘class’ you’re not a priority.
No judgement here, cops were absolutely useless at the old old place when we were being harassed by the neighbours’ brats and their arsehole mates. Until they got the call out by another neighbour after they had the house to themselves one long weekend and ran absolutely riot.
They treated me better with the robbery saga over Christmas/January but ultimately did/were able to do fuck all.
I napped and will pay the price
So many responsible bed times then there’s me still up and wired.
Soooo I just got woken up by a bloke shining a torch in my fucking face. There’s cops in my house. At 1am. AGAIN
Seriously… this new kid… Nothing but trouble. Wtf
[They were looking for him, and I guess nobody told this worker which bedroom is his]
WTF. How terrifying.
Yeah…
Damn you almost need a sign on your door… “He’s that way —>”
I swear all the idiots need to go off to an island and live with each other if they want trouble so much
Funny you say that, because after realising he had the wrong room, he closed the door and then started opening all the vacant rooms, including my spare room. I opened my door and pointed and said “he’s down there dude”
I think it’s my turn tonight to have a poor nights sleep. I’m tired but wide awake at the same time.

I would like to declare that I am now in bed and ready to fall asleep. I will not be responsible for any unnatural occurrences tonight.
Good bacon. I don’t want any more of these weird dreams. For the sake of everyone: please sleep tight
bed time for me also
Good night everyone and good sleep 😘
Good night everyone and special hugs for Melbs an Melbcat
Thanks
Alright. Trying for 6am round 2 tomorrow. Goodnight everyone ❤️
Goodnight, I should be hitting the hay too because I need to leave the house by 7am tomorrow, but I had too much tea… 😒
Goodnight and good luck!
Yay: got some exciting news about some uni study I’ve put off for years and can finally complete. I can exercise my brain in ways I never could at work
Nay: I kind of forgot about it because it was in limbo for months, so now I need to turbocharge my brain and think of research topics ASAP.
I’m starting to find the commute to one of my jobs is really a drag, especially in winter, and I don’t get as much out of being in that office now that I have my other job… I think I’m going to make it a policy that I wfh one day every other week. If I’m going to be studying again, even very very part time, I definitely need to cut down on all that BS.
When you admit you need help as you’re struggling but get shamed and invalidated. I’ll just go back to hiding inside my head. Reasons why I isolate myself.
Hey, hope you’re not in danger or anything. Is everything alright? Hope today has been okay for you …
Are you ok?
Spent the arvo playing with temps and muffins on the airfryer. Now plotting all sorts of recipes. Anyone have faves? We have the ninja multicooker.
Cheese & gherkin.
