I really should have taken my clothes down yesterday when it was still sunny, even if they weren't 100% dry.

Looks like a trip to the Laundromat is likely today unless it decides to stop intermittently showering.

Night, fam. See you in the morning.

Anti-gratitude thread.

Only slept around five hours last night and I can't be stuffed meal prepping. But I shall persevere.

Also the cost of groceries. $100 just for my food? Kinda crazy.

I eventually recovered from this morning's headache with some decent pho, only to end up staying out late with a wine and cider. Probably will be okay, I don't feel as crazily buzzed as I did last night, but I've taken a preventative Nurofen anyway. It was a good night of catching up so I don't mind. Lots to do when I wake up though so hope I don't feel too crummy in the morning. Good night everyone.

You know how sometimes when you're hungry you can open your mouth and saliva fires out from your salivary glands under your tongue like a friggin venom spitting snake? Usually happens at the worst times and a loved one might catch a stray. I might be nuts but I think I can do that on command. Is that normal?

Some of us can gleek at any time.

Gratitude thread.

Went to the 1000 steps yesterday. Was good fun. They even had toilets with toilet paper, soap and hand driers.

I'm grateful for the amount of shit I've accumulated. I was actually thinking about it last night - I've managed to gather a lot of stuff over the last 5 years. Before that I actually had very little, I had a $30 Optus phone and a rubbish bag with a days worth of clothes. That was all I had when I entered care in 2018.

Since then I've managed to get so much more than I could've ever predicted. It's really, really weird to think about. And even with the theft and destruction of a bunch of things, it hasn't really affected me much. I don't mean mentally, obviously it didn't feel good to lose my things, but in terms of everything else, I still have enough things that I'm able to do just about everything I want/need to do. I can still play my games and work on (some) of my projects. That's crazy too, and I'm really really lucky to have the amount of things I do

Today was sorting day, since I wanted a clear day to tackle the back room. Didn't quite get the floor cleared but got a through path and more stuff on the shelves (and crap off the shelves).
Also got on a roll this evening and got the DVDs unpacked and shelved. And found the pyrex, so bonus!
