So tired today. I can literally feel my body entering hibernation mode with our darker, drearier mornings. Will to get out of bed this morning was non-existent.

And I have a psych appointment later today and have to talk about my feelings, zero motivation for this. Wish I could cancel but they charge a penalty, so I must go.

Oof yeah, I've only cancelled one psych appt and it was a good $250+ for cancelling. Such a pain in the wallet lol.

And totally get what you mean about the dreary mornings, and finding the motivation to deep dive on emotions and feelings. Sometimes the healthiest habits are the hardest ๐Ÿ’€

Someone my husband works with has opened a new bar/restaurant thing. YL was meant to take us tonight but she has uni so my husband will have to drive. Which means I will need to sample the cocktails on my own. It's a big responsibility. I think I can do it.

What we all suffer in the name of family harmony ...

Had the ecocardiogram and the guy that did it said he didn't see any issues.

Wearing this holter thing now to measure my heart rate for 24 hours.

Urgh.

Wrecked calf and ankle. Just sore and needed strapping.

I love walking around with a pronounced limp like a 70s pimp.

Interesting conversation overheard on the tram this morning. Between a group of 4-5 mid-high school boys. All friends I think, but there were 3 different school uniforms present. About consent. All relevant factors emerged in the conversation like self control, impulse control, drunkenness licence, teasing, narcissism, sociopathy, inherent evil, influence of religion, good manners, peer pressure etc. - the whole nine yards. Manosphere not specifically mentioned but that topic hovered in the background. I could understand if they were processing a session done by a school - but 3 schools at the same time? And discussed in the morning not on the way home after the session. I was actually impressed by the level of maturity the boys were using to discuss the issue. Not all agreement, of course, but a very good level of general understanding by all. There is hope for the future.

So many young lads are lovely when they want to be

Iโ€™m hesitant to watch the Louis Theroux doco because I know Iโ€™ll be angered and disillusioned. Itโ€™s good to know itโ€™s not all doom and gloom for the next generation.

15 jars of chicken soup finished and waiting to be labeled.

Plus there is one in the fridge that didn't seal properly which will be today's lunch.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 1 hour ago

So that goes in the pantry?

Amaze.

Happy PHM Day! I've got tickets for Saturday but can't wait to hear reactions from those seeing it before then!

Been a while since Iโ€™ve looked forward to seeing a movie at the cinema. Itโ€™s nice.

Engage spoiler protector (even though I've read the book)

I am beat, really hopeful that this week is my final week of late shifts ever. 1230 to 830pm, then Monday back to 8am to 4pm. I swapped yesterdays shift and tomorrows shift for much earlier ones, which in hindsight wasn't the best idea. Not getting enough sleep this week. Hopefully by this time next week I'll have a shiny new job offer which has stable hours of my choosing. ๐Ÿ™ I might end up taking tomorrow off, I don't think I can manage finishing at 830 tonight and starting at 8am tomorrow for my swapped shift

How the bloody hell does he keep managing to turn the doona 90 degrees in the middle of the night?

[โ€“] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Seperate doonas that overlap in the middle

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

That's for a different issue

[โ€“] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

At some point he grabs the whole thing and using his arms and legs twirls it like pizza dough. It's landing 90 degrees off but it's been on a journey.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 2 points 1 hour ago

Turning into a buritto is a thing so pizza isn't that far a stretch

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 3 hours ago

He doesn't deserve doona.
