Got some old school dysphoria back last night. Lets just say I used to think I must be an alien. Cried like shit. I was around 21 then. It's still affirming to know I've always been like this, but sometimes it bashes into my brain in unexpected ways. Today feel amazing though, walked 10ks and realised my boobs have got a nice boob shape. 143 days hrt, I kinda hope they don't grow too big but most of my family aren't small breasted women. Still, euphoria quickly replaces dysphoria.

Microsoft Word turned one of my dot points red, and I have no idea why. I've just submitted the assignment with one random red dot.

Marketplace sale finalised, paid for and in the mail. I really love technology and how much easier it makes these things. Having started off in the days of the Trading Post where everything was slow and difficult I am constantly impressed by how things work now. Being able to take photos of an item, share them with an offer to sell (for free, with no word limit!) and have the item sold, paid for and posted the next day is an amazing advancement. Being able to print a postage paid label at home (from the money the buyer gave me) and provide a tracking number for the buyer to get updates, with services linking together pretty seamlessly, is just icing on the cake.

Sometimes that broke uni student meal of instant noodles and tinned tuna really hits the spot

I am doing a terrible job of studying today. It is nice and sunny outside, so I think that I'll go and do some weeding. That will obviously help me get in the right mindset to study and is in no way another avoidance tactic.

My tax return can go jump...I knew it was going to be low, but Jesus.... I was counting on a little bit more to help.

Finally got my appetite back after things got a bit better after today.

Said screw it and went to town.

Homemade burger

Didn’t quite mail cutting the bun evenly.

Burger consisted of bacon, 2x egg, caramelised onions, tomato slices, beef patty and 2x smokey cheese slices with tomato sauce and aioli.

suspicious timing on a new R/place. Also suspicious is these new Chinese propaganda ads. "People Flee the AUD" with a the CCP flag over parliament house? Disgusting.

yeah I’m not joining r/place this year

Did my boring but important stuff regarding Medicare claims. Decided I needed a treat after some of the shenanigans of the week so it was a night off cooking and Red Rooster for dinner (our local one isn't too bad and I've been good with eating healthy all week and taking my lunch to work instead of buying something on the way). Mr Peeler sorted installments out for his fine, to be deducted fortnightly. He's been like a quiet little lamb and seems to be coping well without the drink. As long as there are cups of tea to be had.. tea fixes everything. I've always found that if you have a cup of tea as soon as you get home from work you don't get the urge to drink alcohol. I've got so many different types of tea that I'm almost scared to count. Ok, I will.. (goes to kitchen and counts) well shit, I counted 19 different teas. Admittedly there's some duplication; 3 are different types of green tea, 2 are dandes and about 4 of them probably count as herbal supplements, but still.. that's a lot of tea! And I'd still like to get more!

Ugh, slept like shit! I kept waking up and then when I was asleep it was that type of sleep where you're dreaming and all but deep down you know you're mildly awake.

Whoo! Got my tax return today! I was going to get Pikmin 4 tomorrow after my eye test regardless of if I got the tax return, but still.

Well I've already finished work and am back at home. Don't mind this at all.

[–] bananafungus@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago

Just want to go to sleep but I can't be half-arsed in my night shift prep now I'm no longer doing it from home.
