As much as I look forward to being free from landlords, the prospect of digesting these kinds of unfathomably large numbers as a single person is also daunting. Ouch.
Sometimes I wish I wasn’t into gardening, pesky expensive thing to be involved in if you want even a little handkerchief of usable land…
Yeah I just sat there and dreamt about what I would do with 100k 😂 that kind of money I’ve never seen irl, my super doesn’t even have that much 😂😭💀
I just received what was supposed to be a dustpan and brush set from Temu. They’ve sent me a vibration platform exercise machine instead. The Australian warehouses don’t seem to be that great at sending the right thing.
The machine is pink and has a cat decoration on it. I’d suspect Miss Meow was involved somehow if I couldn’t see the order history…
Edit: I do like the design, but I have put it up on Marketplace. They sell for $133, compared to the $22 of the dustpan I actually paid for.
can confirm, cats love those things. I have one, and ours like to clamber all over it. Somewhere I have video footage of misha letting out the most hilarious warbleyowl known to man
I’m so up for this random shit with my order that’s on the way. Let the mystery packages begin!
I haven’t had much issue with the wrong thing being delivered until I started getting stuff from the Australian warehouses. They seem to like sending me completely different but more expensive items.
I’m open to being surprised lol
Just sent a client proposal which took a long time to complete and I know I’m being pitted against one other business for this work. Fingers crossed it comes through to me, but we’ll see. The other business is far more established / has a team of staff so it feels like I can’t compete, but I gave it a real crack. I’ve had a few proposals fall through recently which has knocked my confidence a bit (but at least they were quick to prepare), I really hope this one doesn’t end up a huge waste of time.
Gotta be in it to win it! Best of luck🤞
Good luck, I hope you get it!
Sly Stone from Sly and the Family Stone has passed away. I’ll pour one out this Friday for the legend.
Just told my manager that I’m unhappy in my role and will be looking for another job. He took it well, said he’s happy to be a reference for me and willing to work on a good timeline with me. Really appreciate that. I’m sure HR will have other feelings, but I understand that!
It’s great your manager is so understanding. Maybe it’s a hint at how they feel too
He’s very open about a lot of things, which I really appreciate it. While he’s not at all blind to the issues, he’s happy to stay on the ride, so to speak.
Good for you!
Have you ever made a meal you’d be embarrassed to show a friend?
That’s the nachos I’m eating right now lol
Negative. I gladly share my abominations
I was a vegetarian for about a decade when I was younger, and I made a lot of dhals and lentil and legume curries. A lot of the food I ate was outstandingly tasty but looked like baby shit lol
I call it mud.
I put cheese in packet Thai soup
I’m sure I could make Italians embarrassed with my rice cooker risotto. Me embarrassed, no way. It was good.
That looks delicious.
It should be more liquidy and less clumpy.
hot wet rice
Butter sketti. Spaghetti (or favourite pasta) cooked, add a bit of butter and salt - it’s my comfort food.
It can be elevated by turning it into Aglio E Olio.
Yum. This was a common comfort meal in my childhood! Add some cheese too in my case
Always. Every single day.
My goal is to host a dinner party and serve three courses. Then I’ll be able to die happily.
Lots of pasta in mushroom soup.
Nachos sounds like a winner though!
goodnight everyone
sweet dreams 😘
Ugh… sketchy random dude persistently knocking on my door with fidgety agitated body language. Not answering that.
No way, especially after dark. Has he gone now?
Call the police. Say you are scared.
Well neither melatonin or Restavit work very well. I’ve just bought some actual caffeinated coffee to have in the mornings in the hopes that will help.
Unfortunately there’s the risk of aggravating anxiety and my stomach. I wish I’d been able to get one of those tiny 50g jars
you have to order from the US, but sleep aid (which is basically American Benadryl) is an antihistamine like Restavit but a bit more powerful.
Nearing the end of looking after hambam.
Seen a big shift in behaviour over the last 3 and a bit weeks. All it took was wearing him out and giving him more off lead freedom.
I’ll miss his burps and random little sleep / dream woofing throughout the night.
Hi everyone, here’s your reminder it is actually Tuesday and not Monday at the start of this working week.
I’ve finished a lot of the painting and am now setting up and organising the room . Pooped.
But once it’s done I’ll be free to do all the other things. 😊
One thing I have been doing is watching furniture repair and restoration instructional videos. It’s been good. It’s given me the nudge to be patient and get skills and the will to do jobs thoroughly. Problem now is I’m eyeing all the furniture I have that have little problems, like a wobbly leg or some scratches, and feel I should really fix them all up.
It’s been a bit of a lazy day today, but I have gotten the new garage remote programmed and put up the outdoor security cameras. I can now check if anything is happening out the front of the house without leaving my couch.
I’m trying to summon the enthusiasm to do a bit more unpacking/sorting. I’m heading back to Melbourne tomorrow to pick up another load of stuff, hopefully I can at least get the remaining things from the fridge/freezer and the most important things from the shed.
Today’s late start brought to you by the twit who tried to drive a B double under the Newmarket bridge
Love a vague warning light coming on in the car. I’ll feed it some coolant when it cools down a bit, hopefully that makes it happy.
Probably worth a quick look over to see if there’s any obvious coolant leaks, or really any obvious leaks.
