Daiso shopping spree. Finally got some new water colours, they sell out quick. Got 2 packs of muted tones which should be good for dinosaurs.

Anyone do relationship counselling and get anywhere or was it just a waste of time? Spare money isn’t really a thing and it’s expensive af.

Been doing it for about 18 months this time around, break before that, then for about a year before that. It's definitely not a waste of time for us. Two kids, mortgage pressures, redundancies, loss of close friends to cancer, general stresses of everyday life all contribute to relationship difficulties. It really helps to have a third party give perspective in a safe calm space. Expensive, but if it's the right counselor then totally worth it.

I've been poking through old emails for a while and found my old library card number. Out of curiosity I logged in (apparently they don't shutdown your account after 2 years like the others I've been with). Apparently I forgot to return an item and my accounts been barred with a $50 fee. Honestly not as bad as I was expecting, although I don't remember them ever emailing me about it.

Apparently they've also rebranded which is nice. I remember them as being a drab grey building with "area library corporation" written on it. Apparently they've dropped the corporation part of it and redecorated, which is nice

Edit: the book is over 6 years overdue, so at least it's not a monthly fee 😂

Anyone know whether the Geelong rental market is as borked as Melbourne? I'm half considering a job there.

Haircut day! Which means I get to go into the city and be around people. In desperate need of social stimulation.
