Goodnight all ❤️
Ended up going to stay a day or two more down here as I probs hit a mental limit with care before I get things going again. Finally caught up with me I think.
Big fight with the ol’ boy last night and I can see he’s reaching his too. It’s all been sorted out today everyone just needs a breather and that’s healthy.
In unrelated news I took a weed burner to dim sims with little chillies on top on a bbq which was not something on my bucket list but here we are.
Excuse the magpie poo on the left that’s not my fault.
We also need a rave choon
Woof, you definitely deserve a bit of time and space after all that energy going around. That’s great that you have this space to get a breather because it sounds like A Lot. It also sucks to be the only child stepping up (I note crickets around the sibling’s involvement).
Your little dim sims almost look like dangerous marshmellows. Very cute. I kind of want to try grilled dim sims too. (Also good idea from melbaboutown regarding your dad doing Manly Barbequeing - though it depends on whether you mother can eat that or needs softer foods)
I hope some more Bellarine time gives you the chance to relax a bit - you’ve got a difficult situation going on. Taking care of yourself is important too 💛
There’s an idea. The old boy could learn to bbq. Potato salad/slaw and bagged salad come ready to eat so the old girl won’t be expected to make sides.
I personally disliked my countertop dishwasher but if your olds are less picky than me it could help them.
(Please take your breaks)
You don’t see that on Masterchef
Wow it’s really pelting down here

I actually managed to get a bit done around the apartment in between naps. I think I am still off from that flu a couple weeks ago. I have loaded up the fridge with vege foods for the week so hopefully that will get the vitamins going. Have a good week everyone.
You too mate! Some of these bouts of the flu take a bit of getting over and seem to hang around for a while.
Hope you have a good week too. My entire back is sore for no good reason and I feel like I’m coming down with something rather than recovering from it - I’ll chalk it up to having absolutely no coffee or tea today and all the grog from last night. Gonna have a light dinner of steamed brussel sprouts and a fish fillet… and thanks for the reminder, need to take my weekly vit D and iron tablets. Feels like winter is getting me down but I just need to hold out for a couple more weeks!
The sun will be back !
I need it to be back 😭 The cold and dark is getting into my bones!
post viral syndrome is a thing

I didn’t get out of bed today. Slept all day. Not sick, at least I don’t think so, but I just could not be fucked.
I did some laundry before turning in so I’m going to spoon with the old baby until it’s time to feed her and then maybe do some folding if it’s dry. There’s paperwork I should at least start. Also the vitamin d weekly tablet I haven’t been taking.
Deciding whether I should try to take something at midnight in an attempt to sleep through.
rest up, get your strength, if you do anything make sure it’s good food and vitamins
lots of hugs
First day of new job tomorrow. It should be good but I’m in a bit of a “what if they hate me because I’m not wearing the perfect outfit” headspace.
Good luck, hope it goes well!
I had that feeling not long ago. A good workplace will make you feel welcome almost straight away
I threw out a 30 year old t shirt just now.🫡

Fluffball lineage.
I’ve done my things, now I can go to bed. 5 cc’s of cat cuddles and 20 cc’s of self pity.
They’re so polite taking to their respective plates.
This is rare form for the kitten. Moments later she was stealing from her mother’s plate lol
So I’ve been doing piano and guitar lessons for about six months, one instrument every fortnight. I’m not consistent enough in my practise, so I’m thinking about just doing guitar lessons. I’ve had some piano experience before and although I still suck, I don’t suck at it as much as I suck at guitar.
I really want to be more consistent with practise and also being active. What are some barriers that you experience with forming consistent habits?
Try to break up the ‘boring’ stuff from lessons with songs you’re interested in too. Spend a bit of time ‘eating your vegetables’ then you can work on songs you like.
Soon you’ll be able to put it all together and identify the scales, keys, and rhythm you’ve learnt from practice in songs you’ve been practising
I think it’s good to do things at the same time of day
barriers, my barriers are interruptions and a tendency to do things for other people over doing things for myself
I find my best habits are actually injunctions I have told myself.
I must look after cats
I must be careful with money
i must have a clean kitchen by the end of the day
I must walk down the beach at least a few times a week
the trick is forming a new “I must”
Think of it like this:
5 minutes practice is better than no practice at all.
I make myself do it before I play. And even when I only do 5 mins a day, the results become obvious quickly, and I’ve been playing half my life.
Also, practice can be less boring if you make it musical and not just practice technique. You could record a really basic chord progression in C major, and play your A minor scale over the top and try to mess around and come up with some little melodies.
For technique, I would recommend using a metronome app. Start real slow.
Sorry for the overload
Thank you!!
No worries at all. If you want more ideas, shoot me a message :)
Ugh, I’ve been pushing myself through laundry and tidying the place a bit but I think now the CBF factor has won.
IKR? Done washing, prepped a silver beet frittata, some roast sweet potatoes and have a risotto in the instant pot. Really should roast the pumpkin I have while the oven is going but the couch is calling
Took tomorrow off. Need up for pushing through it. Have 2 meetings I’m choosing to attend and that’s it.
Oh bummer, looks like the ATO still haven’t received info about my voluntary deductible contribution and I have an estimated return date now so they’re almost done finalising it. So they’re going to slap me with a huge tax bill even though I cleared out so much into super and I’ll have to call or some shit to amend it. Uuuurrrrgh I thought this was going to be much more straightforward. I followed all the steps! If it wasn’t for that bonus I would be ready to cry.
Today is a write off. Fucking headache.
I have one too but it’s going away. Hope yours does go soon too.
Thanks, here’s to Sunday headaches :(
That sucks, I hope you feel better soon!
oh no
take care and don’t feel bad 😘
Whomever told me to watch The Boys wasn’t kidding. I hate/like it already. Even worse than Wild Cards for resourcing persons with talent
