  • The woman buying my sewing machine just picked it up. She did not accidentally overpay me by thousands of dollars. I guess the dream was not prophetic.

  • I’ve had a weirdly positive day… I mean, a little unexpected. Even though I was running late, I made good time. Even though I missed tea break, had a shortened lunch, wasn’t all that hungry and ran out of time (and verbally road raged a little on the way home), I:

    • made it to a Uni appointment
    • had some meaningful conversations in intervention deliveries
    • made it to my extra-curricular session on time
    • had some more meaningful conversations

    And just all round one of those days where for a moment you feel as if you’ve woken up, are about 95% yourself and things feel somewhat good… like a distant memory.

    I’m even in one my fav burger shops that is always empty and there are about 8 or so other people eating in and it feels… nice.

    No guarantees for tomorrow, but I think being grateful for just even the ability to even get out of bed is underrated. ✨

    • I felt the good vibes rubbing off on me from your comment with how wonderful your day was! Savour the feeling, it's totally ok if tomorrow doesn't reach today's heights, because it sounds like you filled your cup plenty with today 😊 (okay I say this because sometimes I feel a bit sad when the next day's been a comedown from a Good Day. But sometimes it's easy enough to just enjoy the Good Day for what it is)

      What a bonus that your burger shop was lively tonight as well. The owner must be having a nicer than expected Monday too

    • so many hugs 😊🌞

  • Dropped off the transfer of shares papers to the executor of my grandma’s will today.

    I wanted to mail them off so I didn’t have direct contact with the executor but it wasn’t to be.

    Drove out of my way and got stuck in a one sided conversation I didn’t really want a part of due to the family feud going on between the executor who is my Aunty and half the family which consequently made me get home later as well.

    Hopefully with that out of the way the distribution of the will can go ahead.

    Parts of my family suspect that the Aunty has an unfair share of the will or has been stealing or misappropriating funds related to the will. She dumps all her emotional baggage on me because she considers me the nice one of the family but all I wanted to do was run away from her.

  • omg, I have finally cleared all 50 levels of bubble town. it only took a few years and many thousands of attempts. I took a screen shot. I'm a bit numb...lol

  • My tv has died. I guess I don't need to watch the gymnastics after all, I'll read my book. But boo. I'll deal with it tomorrow.

  • Any sport in particular I should catch up on from overnight? I need to put something on in the background while I power through some boring monday morning stuff

    • If you have Stan, just pop on one of the big ones. Like "Athletics day 8" or one of the main Olympics shows, and it'll just show you what is on the stadium. I watched the Athletics Day 8 one last night, to see all the 100m heats. It was really great, because it meant I actually knew a little bit about all the runners in the 100m final and had seen them all run before.

      Note on that Jamaican kid who came second by 0.005 seconds: This event was his international debut, and he ran 9.77 in June. He's one to really watch. No idea why that US dude was so cocky when he learned he'd won after waiting 30 secs on that photo finish. It was hardly a resounding victory.

      • No but I have been watching the overviews on the 9 app Mainly landed on athletics today. The high jump final was pretty awesome..looking forward to the Sport climbing tonight

    • Just pop it on 9. The news is on currently but they have highlights on up until 6pm.

  • TV review. Archer Series 13.

    I loved Archer, the first 2 series made me laugh out loud so often and many of the following episodes also had their laughs.

    Series 13 is a pale ghost of a show comprising running jokes, boring character repeating one liners they've said a hundred times and vulgarity for no reason. A vulgar joke is funny, these aren't even jokes.

    So sad. 1/2 a whisky, no ice.

  • Listening to the soundtrack of The Mandalorian. I'd forgotten what a beautiful show it is so might take another look. ( and at The Orville as well 😊 )

  • I've been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 a lot. It's my first playthrough, but 3rd time attempting to get into this game.. it's actually sticking this time though and I'm 35% through now. Enjoying it. It's crazy how many hours I've put in and it says I'm only 35% this game is hooooge.

    Anyway the game is absolutely GORGEOUS. Playing on my PC with the graphics almost maxed out and riding around has made me desperately miss America's parks and mountains. I ache to go back there. I don't think we have anything in Australia which directly compares to that place, as unpatriotic as that sounds.

    Also I found out that my tablet runs RDR2 fantastically (it's a stupidly expensive one with it's own discreet graphics card) so I can actually play it in bed too. It's not as gorgeous on that as on my 4k monitor with HDR but it still looks and plays great using my PS5 controller.
