Melbourne

I have successfully removed my old mattress from the bed, moved it close to the front door to easily pop outside for the recycling people, put the new box mattress on the bed and managed to flip it up the right way. Which was a bit harder than expected. Turns out when they recommend using two people, it's for a reason.

Had breakfast, done the dishes, changed my bed. Time to go take my library books back, collect my glasses and get my hair did

I think the cats are expecting me to put something on the teev and stretch out on the couch so that either one of them can have a nap on me.
Instead I'm sitting up with a podcast on doing a crossstich project for a friend's birthday (well taking a break now for dins).

Ok ok ok. After a disastrous start to the day things have progressed a bit. Actually got a tiny bit of gardening done after neglecting the balcony for months . tidied up the dead stuff, improved the staking on the manzano chilli, shuffled pots around - including the very sickly and cold curry big mama leaf plant to a more sheltered spot (it was getting depressing to look at. And it'll come back in spring.).

I won't even be at home for most of the next month but I went ahead and sowed some coriander and garlic chives, and have soaked some snow pea and sweet pea seeds to sow tomorrow, because what the hey. They'll look after themselves, kind of. Everything's had a very thorough water + feed if needed, and I'm amazed at how relatively well that manzano is doing despite all the neglect. Truly a cool climate chillo, definitely a good choice for Melbourne. (e: yes it's related to rocoto).

All that and a whole lot of staring into space have improved things as well as cleaning the kitchen and having a long overdue shower with hair/scalp cleanse. The sun has made a big difference too. Body has calmed the fuck down and is healing itself.

Neck still hurts but I'll call off my trip to the 'rat tomorrow and take it easy, hopefully I'll be right as rain by Monday. I have work to catch up on but today is for total relaxation

Guess I didn’t need to make one for today lol

Thanks Bull

Looks like the collapse/expand replies to a post is back again

Fucking hell, one of my students coughed in my face today. Guess it's time to stock up on OJ and pray to God that I don't get sick, because I have no bulk billing doctors nearby and work wants a doctor's cert (although subcontractor, so no sick leave anyway).

Goddamn, some days I just wanna quit.

Uck, the rain has started and its still extra windy outside. The morning dog walk was cancelled (much to Mr Woof's dissapointment) due to safety concernd, but I still have to go out there and drive to work. Part of me wants to just call in sick!

It's been blue skies here pretty much all day in Hobson's Bay. Windy yes, but still sunny.

Here I am, sitting on my bed overthinking what to wear to brunch with a friend tomorrow. The criteria is cute, warm, and semi casual. Lol.

I keep being woken up; wimdy or earthquake? Either way I wish it would settle down!

What has happened with the bot?

Poor Bot #001 😔

Will they blow back in when the wind changes, like Botty Poppins?

On an unrelated note, anyone know where you get coin banks these days? The tin I had is on its way out, but Officeworks doesn't seem to sell them any more (they used to have a rather fun coin-sorting one, but that also seems to be gone, more's the pity).

First week of roster change, Tuesday to Fridays. God it's good being able to have a life again :) got so many plans coming up

Tax return sorted ✅ getting an alright amount that will definitely help with my adhd stuff. So that's a relief.

I feel like I'm absolutely boiling at the moment. Wtf is going on?

I left home a bit too early... Need to get to St Kilda before 1 or 1:30 at the latest and already at Oakleigh. Oh well, I'd rather be there way too early and having to wait rather than being late and having to uber.

Also got a haircut by my mate and my head doesn't feel too heavy anymore.

@bull T minus 4 days to end school holidays.

Oh yeah ready to watch new Mission Impossible tonight! Bring on the mindless explosions and action scenes!

Hey, that comments thing has changed again... I'm not seeing pre-collapsed reply threads anymore.

Fucking hell, that wind is atrocious. Least it's nice and sunny out though.
