I had today marked for cleaning the floors but it’s too nice in the sun, I’m having trouble making my way back inside to start the job.
Filling out passport applications. Fucking nightmare if you were born overseas with a non English spelling birth certificate with wrong dates therefore the JP translation is wrong, citizenship paper’s wrong and marriage certificate is wrong. This is going to be a nightmare to undo. Just ranting.

This goblin is gonna curl up in bed. Too chilly for folk such as I.

Just sat through an extremely boring 70 minute meeting listening to a panel of vote counters slowly call out 289 ballot papers.
The majority of the 200 present were on their phones scrolling a social feed or playing games.
The one ABC quiz I do alright on and nobody’s posting about it? Boo
I got 35/50 which is probably my best score yet. 2 were lucky guesses though
I did crap at it so didn’t post - 25/50. Some unlucky guesses.
I only did it just now, got 40. The Paraglider and the prison gun were the only guesses, also.i actually knew the rest.
35/50. Most were educated guesses.
23 June last year i made the first daily thread here, so like an okay partner, happy anniversary everyone for a few days ago.
Mate we’re in May. Hasn’t been a year yet.
I am pretty ill, I did say okay partner.
Accidental good partner because you’re so early
I woke up just after 6, forgot to go back to sleep and now it’s probably time to get up
I’m struggling to get out of bed. I think at its core, it boils down to: bed warm, not bed not warm
I woke up early and decided against it. Just woke up now and only because I was having a nightmare. I feel free of brain fog for the first time in weeks tho. Sometimes ‘bed warm’ is the answer
Bloody hell, is sunday nightmare day or something?
IKR was just reading the thread! Must be something in the stars
Giant sleep followed by slow walk and coffee and now I am sitting on my couch with the sun streaming in. I am starting to think the cold I had a few weeks ago might have been the Rona (I tested negative but it was about 5 days in before I got to test)… That would explain the fatigue and ongoing breathlessness and shitty feeling.
Sun and walks and sleep and lots of water today to try to kick the last of it. My floors can stay unmopped.
RSV can be pretty savage too.

As a former sufferer of really intense auditory hallucinations, I strongly relate to what you’ve said. I had long given up drugs but was still suffering from the voices for ages afterwards. It’s hard to get people to understand just how real they felt. And so spiteful, mean and negative. Also hard to get some people to understand that it’s strong enough motivation to never go back there and go through that horrifying shit again. The “once a junkie, always a junkie” crowd just don’t get it at all.

Meth is very obvious, heroin is quiet.
deleted by creator
we have to have a society with hope, where people have real chances at making a life worth living, so when they are offered choices they can choose to not have meth
the way things are now is not good

Most of you guys are too young to have lived through the angel dust (PCP) craze of the late 60s and 70s. That was some scary violence all right. Fortunately, angel dust out of fashion now. Meth, oddly enough, has a much milder effect. Scary, yes. But the violence level is a lot lower and the triggers a lot higher.
I keep having weird dreams at my current accom. Last night it was a very vivid one where I’d somehow had to move into a share house full of irritatingly self-absorbed and messy adults who were in their little northside cliques and weren’t keen on making space for me. It was so alienating and made me desperate to move back to my own place. I bolted awake thinking I needed to email my previous landlord asap and beg to go back to my own apartment. The relief I felt when I realised a few minutes later that I didn’t need to do any of that…
The day before it was about my brother betraying my location to my dad. Definitely a theme of despair and being trapped, and waking up to remember what freedoms I do have.
I think it’s the humidity. 90%+ every day indoors. It always brings up bad memories…
Yesterday was the only day on the island where we’ve had sun. Today it’s overcast again and this afternoon it’s back to more rain… slept in massively after two days of hiking (with a thoroughly unconditioned body), time to get outta bed and go walk to the nearest town for some coffee and to get some postcards.
How on earth do the trees in Japan look so naturally stylish over waterbodies though?!? Is it the tiered structure of the crown?
pretty even in the rain
My dreams last night were weird like that too. My house became some sort of domestic violence shelter and then 2 crazy guys with baseball bats came over because they wanted to kill me. They attacked an old lady who worked outside and then broke the door down and for some reason I tried to confront them which didn’t go well. Then I woke up. I actually had to turn on my light and do a double take and then had to calm down for about half an hour because the fear translated to real life and I thought the baseball bat people were actually in our house
Yesterday was the only day on the island where we’ve had sun.
I think Australia is a little bigger than an island, but ditto. It was a nice sunny day yesterday. Still chilly, but the sun was out

A coffee in the cool morning light,
Steam wafting lazily, taking flight.
Cold fingers grip the mug, quite tight,
A coffee in the cool morning light.Sip sip aahhhhhhh
Still COVID positive so still isolating at home, but not feeling too shabby so I have spent the morning absolutely smashing out some garden/outside house jobs in this fabulous weather, and am now going to reward myself by lounging on the terrace with a book.
Suitcase preferences wanted. Soft-case or hard case and why?
Light weight. Unless I’m going through Heathrow then something tough.

I can only tell you of my experience. I have had an Antler soft case for… I’m not even sure how long. 14 years? I’ve travelled a fair bit with it and never had any sort of issue with it. It can expand a bit which is nice. My only advice I ever give anyone is get something with 4 good wheels. 2 wheeled luggage is dumb.
Actually I have a 10year old Antler myself, and it’s held up incredibly well but getting a bit worse for wear. Was trying to decide if I replace with another soft case or change to a hard case.
I have a small hard case (it’s like a strand bags rip off of a Samsonite). It is smallish, hard shell, unique colour, has an expansion zip, combo lock and can be wheeled on four wheels or two. Have taken it all over the world and it’s awesome. I would go hard case everytime.
How much do you travel? Op shops often have plenty of serviceable suitcases.
hooray for left overs from the freezer , I’m having chicken curry, rice with nuts and some chutney
