6th night without power. I’m so over it. Anxious AF.
@Reonn @CEOofmyhouse56 crap, what area are you in? I checked the outages list and it was still huge yesterday. I’m in a rural area that gets regular outages, but they are usually resolved within about 12 hours. But the amount of trees down, damaged or basically exploded on the drive out from the city today was… exceptional. I’m not surprised it’s taking them quite a while to rectify all the issues.
Sounds awful. Hang in there, they are working on it. The damage was so extensive and there’s only so many repair crews. Are you able to stay with someone overnight to get a break from it?
On a train. There is an over abundance of short shiny dresses and facial glitter. Must be a Spice Girl around somewhere.
Please count how many times the word literally you hear and report back.
To do list for tomorrow (putting it here so I am obligated to follow-through):
- Call Tafe and finish up enrolment
- speak to GP for new BC script
- eat lunch (important!!)
- play with/nap with cat

I’m out adventuring and listening to my audiobook. Embrace the majesty of the mighty vanilla slice. Also, this is the very first photo I’ve taken with this new phone (loaned from Microsoft).
Making myself throw out all my pc part boxes, I don’t know why my lizard brain is so obsessed with keeping them all. Have also organised all my little screws, cables, and whatnots into labelled parts tubs.
Good work.
If you need something else to organise I have an extensive button collection you could make a start on.
I don’t think anyone but me appreciates my organisation style lmao

I am so sick of my toxic boss. I just want to quit my job but i’m not having much luck on the job hunting front. I feel so trapped and I don’t know what to do. maybe i should just off myself. honestly feels like the only way out at the moment after months of trying to find something else.
Please don’t. Have a big glass of water. If you can go outside right now and stand in the sun. Close your eyes an breathe. Name all the things you can hear.
List some things you can do to help minimise the fallout from your job (even minor like make a good lunch to look forward to each day). This is how it is right now but it will not be forever.
Thank you i’m at the laundrette right now doing my washing now and the sunshine on the walk over was pretty good. I also have left over spag bol to look forward to for dinner. Sorry for the ideation. My boss just triggered me today and it cemented for me how she has absolutely zero empathy. And i just feel very done.
No need to apologise. Better to vent it out somewhere. Good luck!

Thank you friend! I’m sorry you are having to go through it as well :( I think getting some sun and doing some chores helped my brain reset. Things will get better, I just wish it would hurry up haha.
Some sad news. A neighbour found the corpse of Mr Magpie. He and Mrs Magpie lived in the big gum tree in the roundabout at the end of the street and raised several families there. Presumably the hot windy day last week knocked him off his perch.
However, in slightly more cheerful news, Mrs Magpie fronted up for feeding time at another neighbour’s place this morning, bringing another Mrs Magpie with her. Very very Thornbury.😢
So many Taylor Swift fans, the tram was packed as. Wtf. A group of them looked at me and laughed? I’m not in HS anymore, their giggles mean nothing lol
Don’t move. Swifties can sense movement but not sound.
Is that wise though? You might get slapped with a friendship bracelet.
I stayed very still and listened to my Finnish rap in rebellion haha
Finnish rap…really? That sounds interesting.
Käärijä - he came second place in Eurovision 2023 with this absolute banger Cha Cha Cha
That’s how I found him, because I fkn love Eurovision, and ended up listening to his entire catalogue (an album, an EP, and some singles) and love him. I keep meaning to listen to something else, but I just cannot stop lol
Edit: he should have won. It’s crazy, it’s party!
It’s so weird when the Teenage Mean Girl phase persists past high school.
just woken up from impromptu nap
I must have been tired

I was coming home from work one day last year, and this old white dude was screaming racist profanities to a SE Asian couple and their young kids. I got between them and told him he was less of an Aussie then them, and how their English was better than his. He almost punched me but instead realised I am a chick and said he wouldn’t punch a girl. I said he’s never even touched a girl hence why he’s so mad lol.
So not recommend doing this, you did the right thing. Anything else (including what I did) is likely to earn you a punch to the face. It’s okay, just remember there is nothing wrong with you, it’s 100% their problems.

I’m sorry bro. Perhaps the unhinged screaming dude from my area got relocated to yours

Depends on how many postage stamps you’ve got
Hope he’s not a large fella
It’s been sometime since I was in a bar with carpet quite this sticky 😝
I miss the sticky carpet at the Park View band room in the 70s and 80s. Whole ecosystems lived in it. And were on the brink of spontaneous evolution into consciousness. Then pokies came to Victoria and they closed off the band room and tore up the carpet. The spirit of bar room scientific endeavour was snuffed out in an instant.
There are no polite words to be said about pokies
That’s how you stay upright
Nearly fell over because I tried to walk and my shoes stayed in place
Ok, this building is hungry. Run!
That’s how you know you’re in the right place
They also had ouzo which is the other way I pass judgement
Two stunning afternoons up in the hills and watched a House episode where a guy had his hand amputated.
Man, I have never been more grateful for my hands. Like I felt so so so unbelievably overwhelmed with gratitude it was kind of surreal.
Hope everyone has had an awesome weekend!
hugs

I have been relatively pain free all day and unsurprisingly spent most of it sleeping
