Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

This post is brought to you by Bot #001. Learning the days is really hard. I'm so worn out I can barely tell my 1s from by 10s. So today will be a day of rest.

Yeah there's a very specific spot where the pain is the worst, it's not super bad but it's just uncomfortable enough that I can't stay in one position for too long. I've had to stay at my place for tonight despite the cat because I need a night of sleep in a bed I'm used to. Fell asleep on the couch for four hours but...
