βœ… Final clean

βœ… Photos taken and sent

βœ… Keys returned

βœ… LL emailed

βœ… Bond return initiated

βœ… Picked up a week's worth of food from Fairfeed

Goodbye old house and old life!!! Onto the transitory period before the next big thing... interestingly just yesterday I hear from my cousin in regional Vic that they're seriously considering moving (back) to WA...

E: I also wish to mention that my fingerprints aren't working so well on my phones. Must've been cleaning too hard lol.

I loath going back to an empty place for the final clean. It's an emotional kick especially when you got the place in a worse condition.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I can totally see why people just get bond cleaners to do the job. By that stage of the move you're already exhausted and cranky. If you had to leave because you didn't want to it's easy to feel resentful when cleaning. I'm so glad it's over. I never want to think about that place again now

so long as the long distance isn't so long that you cant occasionally get into situational activities with them, sure! Edit: everyone deserves a good activity ever now and then.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

We will be in nearby universes that makes activities possible

Can't claim sewing course is going well. Nobody is horrid, but I'm highly dubious my result will fit, and can really do without the graphic prego stories!

Opposite result of hoped for really.

Two members of my household tested positive for COVID today and I have symptoms but tested negative. Time to sit and watch some movies for the rest of the week maybe.

Movie recommendations please!

said it before and I'm sure I will say it again: Boys highschool sex ed should be bringing in a new dad whos got a kid in daycare and ask them "how many times you been sick this year?". You'd scare the crap out of them.

Hard day at work today. I'm seriously considering making golden syrup pudding for dinner.

I'd like to be one of those people who feels compelled to buy a book every time they go into a book store, but they're like $20 for even a basic paperback. I don't want to drop that much every time I go look at books

They're free at the library :)

So I saw one of the friends in the group that excluded me from their catch up last week. He was saying how we should plan another pot luck dinner with the group (that’s what we did the last time I saw them all) and have it at person X’s place. So maybe they felt bad I wasn’t with them last week? Who knows. I just acted dumb, said sure etc, no confrontation about why I wasn’t invited last week. Let’s see if it happens. I’ll forgive but I won’t forget!

I finished reading the Expanse last night. I've not been that engaged with a book series since I discovered Tom Clancy as a 12 year old who was obsessed with Navy aircraft. Don't really know what to read now.... I saw an interview with Henry Cavill where he was asked his go to sci fi writers. Without hesitation the first thing he said was anything by Robert E Feist.... So I guess I'll try that....

Edit. Decided on Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.

Huge pot of chicken broth on the go. Probably last chance before weather makes this unfeasible, and I need dumplings.

I fell asleep earlier and woke in the night -_-

Melbcat doesn’t seem to need a top up, but she’s had some treats and I’m having a cuppa

I'm always so tired when I have my week of late shifts. I can't change the time I wake up (or at least not so quickly) so I'm still up at the same time, but I don't get to sleep until two hours later than normal😴😴😴

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I gave up afternoon shifts a long time ago for that very reason. If I'm going to stuff up my sleep cycle I'd rather do it good and proper and do night shift.

Spotify should have a tempo sort button. It'll make editing a playlist easier and quicker. This makes sense to me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Was it really March when we spoke about this?

Not sure if my walk/run/cycle playlists are of any use, but feel free to plagiarise the hell out of them. πŸ˜€

I hate ordering stuff online, I think I get anxiety over waiting for things to get shipped and if it's in stock and then for it to arrive.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I love ordering stuff online. I get to spend my time, compare lots of different things easily, and can focus on the most important aspects (like measurements or technical specifications). I tend to put it out of my mind once I've ordered it, and instead of getting anxious waiting it's more like a happy surprise when it turns up!
