Melbourne

My partner is experiencing having mental clarity for the first time she can remember after starting a trial of meds based on a recent ADHD diagnosis. This is a good thing and I'm very happy for her.

Mickey wishes you all a great day!

Went out and got a cheap laptop for TAFE. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Got a coffee for a treat as well :3

Holy fuck it's cold. Getting out of bed at 2 degrees sucks even if you're working from home lol Have a great day everyone ❤️

I’d like to report an update…

Chook’s flight feathers have definitely grown back. He just zoomed around my head

So fucking tired urgh

Going to bed now even though I know I probably won't fall asleep until like 11. Bed too comfy looking I been fantasising all day about climbing back in. Will put a solid dent into my current audiobook: 11.22.63, which has been excellent so far

ok dudes, I'm off for a walk in the park and a little shopping , later 😘

Well this is fun. We have an intruder at my worksite and we’re under lockdown now.

Well I’m in my car at the moment and no one’s allowed entry I presume until they resolve this.

The fake audience/cheering on the triathlon is so cringe. It's looping over and over again -- the race will take nearly two hours.

It's become apparent to me some of my problems at work are coming from my manager's poor communication skills.

It's time to move on in my own terms before that decision is made for me.

Found this Maggie in our front yard just now, and I’m not sure if there’s something wrong with it or not. It’s not at all scared of us, and I got quite close (<1m) with no reaction. It’s eaten a few salada crumbs and had a drink, but does look a bit bunched, and is just staying in the yard. Is it worth calling wildlife rescue? OH thinks we should leave it and see how it goes.

Melbcat didn’t eat her meal and spat out her syringed meds this morning - right down the inside of my sleeve! Thankfully she’s finished her antibiotics but she still needs her pain meds.

might be a strange question, but any time I figure out something about myself mental health wise its almost always a "Oh shit. Its THAT easy?" kind of thing. It always seems SO obvious in retrospect! Curious to see if anyone else has the same thing happen to them.

For example: if you're always telling mates to take a deep breath have a sit and let things come to them, then you go and actually do it yourself and you're like "fuck, that was the key all along?!"

Welcome to the Daily Chair. All the tacks are out now, all approx 200. I've tidied the work area and am ready to attach the linings, the springs then the padding and covers. Yay.

I have also been buying some tapestry fabrics to make some scatter cushions, 2 big cushions for the big chairs, and two smaller ones for the dining captain chairs.

here are some of the components . I have to staple and sew it all into something resembling a functional supporting seat. There's the wood frame, the webbing, springs, lining fabric and the cover . That grey stuff is the original kapok chair stuffing

Far out this post viral fatigue is fucked. Third day in a row I feel like my brain has been cotton wool all day long. The coffees barely touch me. I really didn't feel too comfortable driving, I felt like I was zoning out way too often. Didn't even help that I got extra sleep because I didn't connect my phone charger properly overnight so it went flat and I slept right past my time to leave.

I really need to (a) fall asleep early and (b) stay asleep tonight... I'm already in bed, fed and showered, I think tonight shall involve podcasts.

E: I've got the warmest possible clothes on and the heater on while under the covers in bed and its still too cold to fall asleep ❄

Goodnight and good morning. May everyone reading this have a wonderful day.

Under 8 working days until… 6 working days off. Just about counting down every minute.

Hope we all get some blue sky today!

PSA - Hot Chocolate Festival starts tomorrow at the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Great Ocean Road Chocolateries! Usually some pretty fun and zany flavours.

The tricks these BMX riders do are nuts. So entertaining to watch.

I managed to get a trip to Kmart after the doctor today but really didn’t like any of their trackie daks. They all had the wide rigid elastic waistband high and tight on your stomach and I can’t stand even the suggestion of being squeezed. Or it digging in if you bend. Also the rest of the stuff was ugly.

I don’t want to have to sew my own clothes 🙃

Late gratitude contribution. I am grateful for scotch.

anyone know where I can get giant googly eyes? Like, mug diameter or above. I've mounted my doona hangers and it's googly eyes or moloch.

Do not tempt me, fritz lang I'm already leaning steampunkwards with decor

edit: Amazon gets nothing from me. nothing!

zero sum gratitude thread!

Woke up at bumfuck o'clock and couldn't get back to sleep, but it meant I could get my big daily walk in before work and thus I blew past 10,000 steps before 11am.

Goodnight all. I think I've just had enough of today. See you in the morning!

This new Batman animated series intro looks incredible.

Anti-gratitude thread.

Sleep still shit and the sleep debt is compounding.

I'm having a pretty good day today. I hope everyone here has at least one moment of joy today.

Gratitude thread!

My manager offered me a shift this morning which was great. I wasn't going to be working at all otherwise.

Also grateful for my aunt's puppy that I saw briefly today.
