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.
TRAAAAAAIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN
Thank you low :)
(Because I've been out of the loop/thread for much of the week and didn't realise you were back...)
BAKKKKKUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! Welcome back!! πππ
Also trains are awesome, but that's just common knowledge :)
i think i am in a long distance situationship and that is exactly right at this point of my life
Long-distanceship!!!! πππ Yaaaaaaasss girl!!!
β€οΈ
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.
We will be in nearby universes that makes activities possible
Last day of leave :(
Buuuuut, only 4 weeks till another 3 weeks of leave!
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.
I have received some chocolates π₯°
They look a bit fancy!
They taste amazing!
New firmware update for the pedal board!!!!!!!!
5 new amp models and 4 of them are HIGH GAIIIIIN!!!
OK I'm all good now lol
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.
The real problem imo is that the rich and shameless and/or powerful are stuck in an exploitative 19th century mindset, while the real world has moved on. Have you read Jared Diamond's masterful depiction in Collapse - How Societies Choose to Survive or Choose to Fail? I found that book mindblowing. Also Tim Flannery's The Future Eaters, which I regard as essential reading for anyone living in Australia rn. Some of the science is dated, but imo still valid in essence. And both authors are right on the money when it comes to how humans react to social stressors.
Ponzi scheme
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!
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
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.
so much snot. Not enough oxygen to make joke about tissue usage.
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 (thatβs what we did the last time I saw them all) and have it at person Xβs place. So maybe they felt bad I wasnβt with them last week? Who knows. I just acted dumb, said sure etc, no confrontation about why I wasnβt invited last week. Letβs see if it happens. Iβll forgive but I wonβt forget!
Huge pot of chicken broth on the go. Probably last chance before weather makes this unfeasible, and I need dumplings.
mrs B has started BG3. And I am so so excited to watch her play and talk to her about it. Shes gonna love it!
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 normalπ΄π΄π΄
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.
I fell asleep earlier and woke in the night -_-
Melbcat doesnβt seem to need a top up, but sheβs had some treats and Iβm having a cuppa
Spotify should have a tempo sort button. It'll make editing a playlist easier and quicker. This makes sense to me.
