Went out with an old friend tonight who reached out and asked me to a game of warewolf (similar to mafia) at a pub in Balaclava. First Tuesday of the month if anyone’s keen for a bluffing game with randomly assigned roles. Really friendly bunch of people.
Today bites and I am very ready for it to be done!
rain and spiders, so many spiders
no matter , this i all about rest, plans, and doing things
and spending time with the young seagoons :)
Eek, I hate spiders.
these are harmless
There is also a cheeky pupster, she already stole my breakfast buns from the bag when the car was being unpacked
the buns were gone is one sec and then she ran away around the corner because she knew she was naughty , but she’s cute
this country is also obsessed with feijoa fruits 😃
It might help you to learn about their evolution - they look weird AF and creepy because they come from the sea - I had arachnophobia, and while I still get that initial shock at seeing one, I can rationalise my way out of it now. That’s because I basically did a sort of ‘exposure therapy’ on myself by learning about their evolution, behaviours and biology. The Tarantula subreddit helped immensely - seeing a male lying upside in his wank-blanket (or wanket) is the stupidest looking thing ever 😂
Here is an example of a male tarantula wanking off into his badly made wanket 😂😂😂
I might leave that link green haha.
Yeah, same…
Friendly kiwi spiders though.
Things have been achieved today. I have changed the sheets on the bed. I have organised a rubbish collection for the last of the stuff at my old place. I have changed the date of my upcoming rental inspection. I have cooked soup and have yellow chicken curry on the stove now. The pet’s water bowl has been thoroughly cleaned. I have done the vacuuming and just need to do a bit of a mop and clean the sinks etc. and the cleaning to do list should be done. I think I’m even going to have enough time to do a bit more sorting / unpacking.
My brain is fried. 24 hours of work in 2 days. Trying to eat some veggies and then suddenly
You get a little nip on the arm.
Why?
because fuck you that’s why!!
A few minutes later you settle back in to finish dinner. Your turn your head to this
You give up and go get the treats.
you in trouble for not being home
Oooh she plotting something
Being adorable it seems. Worked like a charm lol
Miniest didn’t get an offer from her first choice of high school. I came home to a little girl crying in her bedroom, in bed with the curtains closed. I explained that it’s part of the process and probably ed dept policy for every child to be offered a place at a school in their catchment area. We still have an appointment with them later this month… on the very day appeals must be lodged by. So there’s still a (probably slim) chance. But 💔
That’s tough news for her. Hopefully the meeting with the preferred school goes well. From my understanding your preferred school can offer a place if they have one available, without having to go through the appeal process.
Oh poor miniest, that’s so hard. It might be worth contacting the preferred school again, and asking if you could get an appointment earlier if the opportunity arises. Slim chance, but worth a try. There might be other kids that decline their spots or something
Have zero motivation and even less interest in doing work today.
Bosses got on my nerves this morning by giving me another runaround task instead of actually doing what I asked of them (5 min job for them, several hours for me).
Time to stretch those hours into days it seems.
Uni results day today.
I passed my placement - yay.
HD on my final assignment in one unit - w00t.
Still waiting on the results for the other unit. I dunno why the first 2 released at 9am and this one is taking ages.
Hearty congratulations! My final assignment was submitted very late due to extensions so I don’t think I’ll get a grade until mid July but it’s always a great feeling to get some results back after a round of hard work.
Thanks! What are you studying?
The end of a rather niche/identifiable qualification that is related to my job… Dragged it out for years what with covid etc. I finished it out of spite, almost!
Worth it in the end :)
Congrats 🎉
Thank you! I don’t know how, probably because they give them out like lollypops, but I am on HD streak of 7 so far.
Congrats!
That’s awesome, well done!!
Thank you!
I think I tweaked my shoulder/neck today.
Only did a slight movement and felt that sharp pain. Now it’s sore :(
So I’ve volunteered to spend the night overseeing an unknown number of kids on music camp.
*Numbers may change dependent on enrollment
Overnight stay in dorm room with year 5/6 boys from xxxxxxxxxxxxxx primary
Now that I’m staring at the email and imaging what this is going to entail, I can see why they struggle to find parents willing to do it. I think I need to accept that I’m going to get five hours sleep that night if I’m lucky. Set aside time on the Sunday for a good nap.
Cried with frustration at the end of tonight’s rebound session. Mostly frustration with myself. Unfortunately the trainer noticed and so everyone noticed. She (and everyone else) was absolutely lovely about it and I know I’ll go back, but wahhh.
Trampolines?
Yeah, mini trampolines! It’s really fun but really tough and absolutely kills the lower sides of my legs. Need to come up with some stretches and/or strength exercises for that area. Would have asked the trainer, but ya know, the crying.
The outer sides of the calves are the peroneal muscles if that’ll help direct your stretch research. Exrx.net is an old site with a lot of anatomy / exercise resources.
Thank you so much! That looks like a great place to start. Appreciate that! :)
Raging cat fight in the backyard. Not enough light to see who is involved. Set the neighbours dog off too. Just what we need World War Fury.
World War Furry mayhap?
Indeed. Unicorn suits and claws out at 3 paces.
I think I’ve won the comp this week
×3
hol up from aldi you say?
Yeah.
Oooh I love those. Their jalapeno ones are sooo good. Haven’t tried this one, please review!!
Review from the man: Yeah they’re alright. Not hot. Would get them again though.
Review from me: Precede with caution. Don’t believe what he says about heat. He has no taste buds left.
I bought the jalepeno ones too. Found them at Aldi. I think they’re from last week’s specials.
I won’t be sampling but I’ll get the man to review. 👍
I don’t live near an aldi but I think I might head to one just to try these out
Well hello awesome tax return, nice to meet you too!
Edit: from last year. Also another 12 hour day in the office. I’m taking tomorrow off. Fuck this lol
There wasn’t that much I could have at Aldi and Kmart is no longer cheap. Oof
