Yay: I didn’t lose my expensive but very good fingerless gloves, they’re at the doctor’s!

Nay: now I have to drive there and back. Meh. At least I’m not as incapacitated as the last two days. I really need those gloves though!

Also, reading that thread on the escaped cow in South Yarra on the other site, I have had that song in my head all morning. We will fight for, bovine freedom…

Goodnight everyone ❤️

So writing to the manufacturer of the pizza with a bolt.

Here’s what we have so far:

To whom it may concern, I am writing to inform you that I recently bought a pizza manufactured by your company at Leos Fine Food and Wine in Kew, 3101 on 22/07/24 which contained a 1.5cm x 5mm metal bolt (pictured in the attached). It need not be explained the risks of finding a foreign object like a metal bolt in food.
It is my hope that you bolster the servicing and upkeep of the equipment in use to ensure this doesn’t happen again to other customers. Kind regards.

In plain language… that shit is gonna send peeps to the dentist buy a screwdriver and a torch.

I spent a few hours trying to tidy up outside today. I was planning on doing gardening, but ended up deciding to sweep the patio and pavement instead. It was still kind of calming though. I could spend a month straight sweeping it and there’d still be more to do, but at the same time I can still see I’m making actual progress. It was soothing.

I really need to tackle the mess I’ve created inside. It’s been hard to get started, because I also have to clean up the mess the last kid left. The program manager cleaned most of the obvious stuff before I got back, but there was a bunch she didn’t notice. Stains in my fridge. Dirty plates in the cupboard. Random phlegm in a cup. Etc. He also went through my cupboard and stole or fucked with a lot of my food, and tipped flower and sugar all through my cupboard, which is on me to clean up too.

It feels so violating having people go through my stuff. I noticed clothes that I had in a bag tipped out, and my paperwork box rifled through, a few empty product boxes I kept had been pulled apart and torn up. It makes me feel so violated and upset. I wonder if he did that specifically to make me as upset and cause as much damage as possible. They make us fill in these fucking stupid all about me things where you have to list your likes and dislikes. I listed one of my dislikes as people going through my things or entering my space without permission. Not going to make that mistake again, that’s for sure

Edit: after writing it, I feel pretty sure that’s probably what it was. No doubt the valuable things that were stolen would’ve been stolen to hock for drugs, but the rest (like slashing my bike seat and poster) definitely would’ve been done purely to cause distress. Cuntbag.

I have a safe now though (a month too late…), so I’ll put my valuables and documents in there from now on.

ta da, got the last 50 tacks out of the chair seat frame, special gloves helped 👍 🤗

I feel like I’m stuck in waiting mode in life right now. Next year is very up in the air - if I get a job, will I be able to return to study? Etc.

Trying to focus on the present.

Good morning and thank you to Dumble for today’s thread. 😺

The new sewing machine inspired me to finish a simple job I’ve been putting off for ages - I have sewn a zipper into a cardigan my Mum knitted for me ages ago. The machine sews beautifully, I’m very pleased with it.

Gratitude thread

Grateful the 6am wakeup starts next week.

If you commit murder in a senseless, vicious and unprovoked attack, I don’t care that you were only 16. You need to be locked up for life, for the safety of society if nothing else.

Sky pretty.

anyone else get a kick out of doing random tasks without their partner knowing and then seeing how long it takes them to notice? (if at all). Usually bigger jobs have to be scheduled between us with the toddler and all, but today I used my lunch break to do the lawn and i’m giddy with the prospect of her looking at it like a weeks time and going “wait… when the heck do you do that?!”

Got Christmas plans sorted for the first time in years. Despite me saying “Im not flying with a toddler! they wanna see us they can come here” I’m apparently flying with a toddler. Sadly someone has to come back early to watch the dogs as the pet sitter only works to the 28th or something, so tragically I think I’m gonna end up with a few nights alone which hasnt happened since the birth of Tinyest. Pretty excited!
