This weekend it's just her and I hanging out.

Goodnight. Sleep well.
Finally made it down the coast. Bus replacement from wyndham vale to geelong made it a lengthy trip. Bit chaotic, no one seemed to know which bus was going where (including the drivers lol).
But it's always interesting taking that bus through those newish estates out west to see how they're going. People have planted things, but not things that provide any shade. The amount of synthetic lawn is pretty crazy. Just a massive heatsink. Also the walking tracks are always empty which is a shame as they look quite nice.
Before leaving decided to borrow both Situationcake's and Dumblederps ideas. Hoping the steel wool works, but if it gets through...
Behold, the ROTATING BOTTLE ON A STICK OVER A BUCKET 2000β’ (that is pb not poo).
Let's see how we go.
That is ACME fantastic! We had a rattus suicide itself by leaving the lid of the big green bin open.
Did you oil the insides of the bucket?
Shit.. didn't think of doing that.
π
You may come home to peanut butter smeared on the floor and the bucket tipped over because it body slammed itself up against the side.
No water in bucket ?
Yea about 7cm high. Feel bad about that part if it works.
Don't worry rats can swim.
My brain is fried. One more to go and things can slow down a tiny bit.
Also, I'm so fucking sick of pharmacists treating me like dirt because of what's on my safe script.
What's the point of being in healthcare if you're going to be judgemental about what medication people take?
Same issue with nurses. I guess everyone needs someone to look down on.
Fucking scumbags.
Just pure racism and classism at its finest. You're on a 'controversial' medication and aren't a white man. That's it, that's all it is. I want to slap every healthcare worker (drs, nurses, pharmacists, mental health worker) who hold those views. It's fucking gross and I'm so angry on your behalf. Fuck.
I'm sorry man, your needs are LEGITIMATE and the problem only lies with those judgy cunts.
Iβve had some amazing experiences with nurses and some downright horrible ones that shouldnβt even be working in the industry.
The least they could do is be professional and keep their thoughts to themselves but some just canβt help themselves.
Iβm sorry you had to go through that. Itβs never nice.
take care ,
and you don't need to justify yourself to them, you have a doctor
if you are feeling grouchy you could always tell your doc you are being harassed
Why is Australia so fucked for poor people :(
because that's what people vote for
Low key hate Australia sometimes
same
People only think about themselves and their taxes and it absolutely shits me
If there's no poor people, then how will the shareholders and billionaires keep holding necessities over our heads? Won't somebody think of the billionaires!?
/s just on case π
The Dutch used to have a very good solution for this
So did the French

Dark so early, the eternal nights approach. I will miss you daylight saving.
I set up my rainbow of glass π It took me a long time to collect, each is a real colour glass, not painted glass. There's some cenedese and nason in there

The poms go on and on about Jammie Dodgers like some Aussies do about Tim Tam's so the kid and I decided to give em a burl. Well, they are the most boring tasteless biscuit ever. The jam definitely saved the biscuit. A just passable 3/5 yum yums.
I worked such long days this week that I didn't even need to take any leave last week despite not working 2 out of 3 days π that's good though, gotta bank up that leave for upcoming uni stressout sessions.

Project Hail Mary
Yes Yes Yes!
you are an inspiration π
I have some extra pennies this pay and a butcher right near me so fuckit, six lamb chops and a kilo of drumsticks pls. And some cheese kranskies.
I think the interview went well! It was my first ever "dual" interview, so there was another applicant there. But it was a very casual interview with the owner of the cattery. Her dog was also there and just was all over me wanting pats π
I should know by tomorrow!
I ended up walking and chatting with the other applicant, and she was so freaking cool! She's doing a PhD in archaeology, which I asked lots of questions about haha, and she was so down to earth - I walked her to her bus stop because she doesn't know the area well, and we added each other on insta πππ

My small shed has a buyer and all going to plan will be picked up on Saturday. π
TW medical
I had my first iron infusion today. -_- Really hoping it helps. Iβm so tired of struggling to get up or move. At least it was delivered in a bonus bag of saline so I didnβt have to get iv fluids from the hospital. (Been dodging the er no matter how dehydrated I get because reasons.)
Complaining about money
Trying to buy some basics for the community pantry because I havenβt been able to get there in a while and Iβm appalled at the Colesworth costs.
$10 for a bag of powdered milk, get fucked ya greedy cunts. $8 for a bag of oranges. Generic milk bricks donβt cost much less than brand. Iβm hitting up the cheap basics that stretch far like pasta and sauces, rice, noodles, oats, tinned soup spaghetti and baked beans, PB, milk bricks, sugar, tea (also bar soap, TP, toothpaste and menstrual products) but thereβs not anything fresh.
I regret being so low income myself.
And my tiny garden isnβt stepping up hard enough. Itβs probably costing more to grow than the produce would in the shop.
Unfortunately Iβm not able to shop in person and Aldi isnβt always cheaper on everythingβ¦ but maybe when Iβm less slammed with tests and appointments I can ask to go there and suss out what the best value items are. I really wish they had kept the old βshopping listβ feature so you could compare prices on items before going.
I feel frustrated and angry that all the focus on profiteering, price hikes, cost of living increases and thee relevant inquires and reports seem to have achieved bugger all.
Yeah. Maybe the inquiry fixed things for the farmers which is good but nothing has been done for people buying the food.
Same goes for everything else
Mum got the Liberal Party's postal vote application form in the mail.
"You can apply for a postal vote with this form,"
Goddamit
I got labourβs today.
All in the rubbish.
Canβt wait for the rest of them through the month.

Saw a massive black rat climb in under the dishwasher last night. Have to head down the bellarine today and turn the alarm on here. Bugger. Thing would surely set it off.
Never seen a rat in the house before, just a few mice back in the day.
Hrmm

Shameless thought following GoonSea. I have these shot/aperitif glasses I'm trying to fill a set of. On the assumption there should be 6, a green ought exist? Not sure the other. Anyone spots them I'd love a heads up πΊ

Wow okay, so I've been watching yt (just trash stuff), and the political campaign ads for the election have started cropping up.
There's one that I always skip, that feels like utter fear mongering - it seems to just focus on how awful the greens are, talking about inheritance tax and migration and alleged sexual abuse survivors talking about their time in the greens party (alleged of course, because I haven't seen much news about sex abuse in the greens party, just the liberal party lol). But because I always skipped it, I didn't know who was sponsoring it... It's Advance Australia party ππππππ
Of course they don't talk about their OWN policies, of course it's all about how "terrible" and "scary" the greens are ππ
I rolled my eyes so hard I've sent them into orbit. At least the ads for the greens and for labor talk about THEIR OWN policies. Of course a racist bullshit party can only drag other parties through the mud and never have the courage to lay out their own agendas.
Fuck I hate the right.
Day 4 of new gig.
Figuring shit out and taking some initiatives.
Sounds wanky, but trying to make a good impression.
Meeting more people and everyone still seems cool.
