Had a productive day: caught up with the real estate agents who sold me this place and checked out a place that had been suggested but came onto the market too late to suit. (This one is definitely better.) Then started tackling the boxes of kitchen stuff that are still unpacked as well as reorganising the kitchen. Then felt like a break and a bahn mi so I got that via another OFI in the block of units where I made my first offer and got pipped at the post. And had no trouble walking at a medium pace three times for about 15 minutes, so yay!
fust, bwa ha ha
Hehe.
Gratitude thread :)
-
Saw my friend from Sydney last night. She gave me Jesus soap and put some in our friend’s shower for shits and gigs.
-
going to a trampoline park today which hopefully should be fun
-
my aunt told me she’s getting a puppy in two weeks and I’m so excited to meet her
-
also I found out who the girl was from work yesterday. Turns out she sometimes goes by a different name to what she introduced herself as. I wasn’t going insane :D
I am grateful I never need meet my in-laws. Stories like Seagoon’s hit hard. Blood Family is not immune from general bastardry and does not deserve anything automatically.
I am grateful I have no responsibilities today and can go to bed at 8pm if I feel like it.
Also for early 80’s transformers cartoons.
And Gibson as per

Worked out that riding my m’cycle to/from work is a great self-regulator, even with getting annoyed in traffic. (Pls no fines this week.)
-
Great banter with people who get you right off the bat… It’s not often, so I do forget how much it fills my tumbler.
-
While not invalidating my gripes, I 100% know how good I have it. Not really for want of anything, roof, warmth, bed, friends, acquaintances, privilege of engaging in most desires and hobbies and a little bit of work if I want that little bit more. Can’t have it all (right now?), but what I have I am entirely grateful for. Even when I’m being a brat.

Yesterday
- I learnt how to use a lighter (I don’t smoke and I’ve generally not been able to have candles or incense, so I’ve just never learnt how to use one).
- I fell asleep really quickly.
- I got a new laptop charger to replace my old one which was a cheap knockoff that wouldn’t stay in the wall (it would fall out).
Today:
- I woke up at 8, but was able to get back to sleep and stay asleep until 11
- Amazon put my favourite brand and flavour of rice crackers back in stock so I got them for a 60 cent discount compared to the supermarket
-
wind’s howling
God, it was so strong last night! Thought the tree was gonna fall over…
ugh, had a nasty nightmare about anxiety. I was packing to travel and husband was impeding me, making me late, making me anxious. I got angry.

RISE AND SHINE 🐛🪱
the birds are still in bed
lurv recaptcha. Does anyone in the tropics wear shoes when riding a motorcycle and I keep singing “I like traffic lights” by monty python https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbRyH6fkee0
Because my name’s not Bamber …
one of the all time great monty python lines
( at the time Bamber was a famous name, he hosted uk university challenge )
…although my names not bamber…
Why is it always motorbikes or traffic lights? Occasionally busses. Surely there are other suitable subjects?
Maybe because they sell the results to auto driving car databases?
Pigeons are my favourite bird, of all the birds. I love their coo-ing sound they make, and how derpy they look.
Plus, Australia has a bunch of native ones. My favourite is the Crested Pigeon - they have little mohawks and squeak when they take off.
Look at these beautiful pigeons! https://www.australiaswonderfulbirds.com.au/pigeons
Look at the superb fruit dove and see the beauty of pigeons lol
Wow, I didn’t realise we had so many pigeons, and pretty ones too!
crested pigeons have taken up nest at the Carlton Gardens , they love the areas with gum trees best
I love the crested ones, aka Punk Pigeons. So squeaky!
SQUEE squee squee ^squee squee squee^
I will never forgive the pigeon that stole my whopper junior (with cheese) at fed square at 3am many moons ago. I wasn’t in the best state so it wasn’t a fair fight.
The resident magpie down here takes them out for sport which I fully support.
Anyone got any of that rain that was supposed to be bucketing down on us this morning? Dry as a bone outside, I see the forecast was reviewed to “late morning”… Looks like most of it’s gonna fall into the bay :/
Apparently we’ve had 0.8mm since 9 here. It’s a little damp outside, and I can hear a few drops falling but it’s very light. It actually looks like the worst of it is hitting (and will hit) between Wallan and shepparton. Hope they don’t flood again
Oh yeah, is wet
I take what I said back. Moderate rain now and Southland parking was full by 10am. Argh
I thought I just heard some fall here but it was light. About to go out for some groceries , yucky and grey outside :(
Windy and grey in the northern suburbs, but no rain yet
Yeah, it’s just spotty though, no buckets.
Ok that was an incredible sleep lol
Rainy day rule requires me to sit in bed and play games whilst watching SCP videos.

I may have overindulged with my grocery shopping today.
I have an odd mixture of stuff and not really a solid plan but needless to say I have a lot of chicken drumsticks and a lot of sausages.
Also bacon prices went up I think. Also getting too expensive to buy :(
I’m new to buying bacon as I have been making leek and bacon pies. Those pies are the most expensive to make. No idea how expensive bacon is meant to be. The bacon bits, while convenient, didn’t seem to be good quality so I buy big packets of Aussie rashers. $11 for 400 g, . I think that’s $2 a slice 🤷♀️ But those pies are real good and I make about 8.
I bought 1kg for 12 from Aldi today. Short cut variety.
Going to be using them in sandwiches with eggs. Maybe onion too but I need to keep the onions for the curry.
It’ll be all worth it though.
oh fuck, i forgot to order onions in my shopping
It’s the grand opening of the new dinosaur exhibition at the museum this weekend.
One of my boys is a bit scared of dinosaurs but we’ll check it out anyway. He can join the dino dance at the end if he needs to get away from things
Naaaw that’s so cute
Your boy who is scared is smart, if I saw a dino in real life I think I’d wet myself, and I love dinos. I get nervous with hissing cats
I have to somehow return a rice cooker without the original box, via mail.
Post office usually has a range of cardboard boxes for the purpose - bound to be one of an appropriate size. Or hit your local IGA for a cardboard box.
I have been earwormed by Mr Squiggle. This is not in fact lots of fun for everyone.
upside down, hurry up
Poor fella.
A kick after the siren to win it for the Swans and completely shanks it for a no score.
Yeah, it was a Barry Crocker.
My Cats play tonight. Unsure about it since we’ve been so out of form lately.
I’ll be drowning myself in chips tonight.
Against Essendon I see. Oh dear. Good luck.
Yeah. Our midfield isn’t really working out right and connecting with our forwards, our rucking is as bad as ever and we need to shake up our defensive line a little since one ours is being tagged now.
Essendon’s really going to kill is in the ruck with Goldstein.
