Finally back home and settled.
Everything took so much longer today due to the massive traffic accident on the Nepean highway being blocked in 3 lanes.
Entry to car park of shopping centre was closed and escalator was borked.
Was too tired so I didn’t get to look at some stuff I wanted to and I didn’t get the potatoes. I’ll get them next week.
Anyway glad to be safely home with all the stuff happening.
The leave relaxation has kicked in. Goodbye work, hello good times!!!
Im so fucking excited to get the car on Saturday. Maaaaaaan I think I'll drive all night lol
Edit: sorted free entry and $350 of free drink cards at 3 clubs 😂 fuck yeah!
If you google "birthday specials" you'll see a bunch of clubs that offer stuff for free on your birthday.
Even fluffy is getting in on the action:
Well, shit. My line up manager had been given the golden handshake. And the new line up manager is my previous boss who is probably the biggest asshole on the planet. soo..... yeah I think its time to jump ship. the current direct manager stays the same, and I adore them but I'm just not prepared to work for the asshole again.
WHY are they doing this stuff in november ffs?!
Found a backpack in the front garden today and these are the contents
Most of it I understand and it obviously belongs to someone with not so very good intentions. You've got syringes, keys, tools, gloves, hammer, crowbar etc... but a TV remote (and no TV) and a pair socks has me fairly perplexed.
Don't need this right now but as they say bad luck comes in threes just waiting for #3
The junkie lady locked her junkie boyfriend out and now they're screaming at each other.
I fucking hate living here.
Edit: it's over. Im not going to let that shit get me down. Let the joys of annual leave begin!
The switch to video feature on Spotify is pretty cool. The way it switches to exactly where the audio track is playing in the video on command. Probably a gimmick I'll get over but for now, I'm enjoying watching music videos I haven't seen for ages (or never seen).
Thursday. Nearly the weekend. Give me strength.
WHEW. I am tuckered. The house is starting to look a lot emptier, though!
Today's tasks were...
- uni meeting online
- misc admin (the REA still hasn't arranged what time I'll pick up the keys tomorrow... truly useless)
- Packing stationery
- Dismantling the bed frame and vacuuming so much dust underneath
- Filling in the holes from the blinds now removed (mostly my friend did it...)
- Dismantling the bookshelf
- Consolidated op shop clothes, books and shoes (which my friend generously dropped off)
- put the clothes and shoes to throw out in the bin
- MOVED OUT ALL MY OUTDOOR PLANTS (except for two heavy planter boxes) ;_;
Swung by MKS on my way back to treat myself to some takeaway curries for dinner.
Now my next big task is the kitchen items... need to juggle this against the timing of unplugging my fridge on Sun am.
That's enough for today though I think. I'm proud of myself and endlessly grateful to my friend.
These strawberries aren't doing great yet as they're still getting settled from being moved from my partner's mother who lived in NSW :)
Goodnight everyone, sweet dreams.😘😘😘
Ok on the topic of strawbs - if anyone is around the Mornington Peninsula, Sunny Ridge Strawberry farm often sell big boxes of strawberries. Was $10 for a giant box and they were sweet. Most of them are in the freezer now, but very good value if anyone's ever down that way :)
Mr Piffles, The World's First Magic Performing Chihuahua died last week - a day after Toby. I met Mr Piffles in Vegas back in 2016 and he was a very good boy indeed.
Pulled the longest hair out of my shoulder. Blonde, curly, and about 6cm in length. Sadly did not have a matching one on the other shoulder, so it had to go.
Edit: ::: spoiler stardew valley stuff oh also, I've been playing stardew valley on mobile, and it plays really well!! There's a few options for controller, but I went with the visible joystick and buttons. But yeah, it's a great game, and I know I'm late to the party (patient gamers anyone lol), but it's so fun! I've been super casual, I occasionally look something up but haven't spoiled myself with its depth (because I know it's a deep game). :::
So my uncle's cat, Casper, had to be euthanised a little while back (he was 20yo, and he just got too sick to go on). So they had an excess of wet cat food and litter. Mickey loves it, though I have to supplement with normal wet food, because this food is for cats with urinary tract issues which I think has a lower amount of taurine. This is fine, he gets a variety anyway.
My issue is it's Purina, which is owned by Nestle. 🤦🏼♀️ Why does the cat have to like the food made by one of the most unethical companies that exist today? 😭
Trying to watch s3 of only murders in the building, horrifically distracted by the fact selena gomez appears to be morphing into Adric
TV review part 2 Pokerface. In the final episodes Charlie's pursuers finally catch up with her. She saves herself , helps save some others from organised crime, solves a mystery or two and makes a friend in the fbi.
I'm really looking forward to series 2. 😎
Removed the homemade baits a week or two ago and saw a roach last night 🤢 I guess that means they work though. I’m going to have to do the dishes and wipe everything down then order more icing sugar to rebait.
I’ve just been resting and only done one load of laundry today because I didn’t get a lot of sleep and am in a bit of pain.
The zucchini are getting bigger by the day and in the windowboxes spinach and carrots are starting to come up.
Ps. I had to retype the first part because I backspaced a few characters for a typo and it glitched to continue until it deleted everything. Gremlins
Broke out the corset for a fit check before weekend do. I am very remindered why personal maids were a thing. Awk
Parts of the VCE exams were leaked this year as you could see some of the questions by highlighting the cover pages. I wonder if someone working at VCAA did that on purpose to see how long it would take for someone to find it.
Just had piano lesson after being on a hiatus for a few years and having to relearn stuff. Was pretty fun but I suck at counting and playing at the same time. It requires a lot of concentration. On the drive home, I burst out into tears. I think it was because I feel bad for bothering bar guitar guy when he had to have that level of concentration, and now I know how it feels.
Next week is guitar time
so I can serenade people with WonderwallI’m wondering if it’s very smart to be feeding the magpies and encouraging them around with bird flu going on. Especially with an elderly cat. I can’t find much about the situation in Australia.
I shouldn’t worry but I see they’ve been dropping feathers and pooping in the back yard, and if I tracked something in and gave Melbcat a treat off the floor… Normally I remove my shoes at the door but my guests don’t. And I’ve been a bit slack myself sometimes.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, carpet is gross.
Edit: I still haven’t decided if it’s ok to provide water in Summer. I would but you’re meant to be cleaning it frequently at the best of times and I’m not able to manage. There is water they can get elsewhere.
Thanks for all the free money PNUT
..... Ah ALDI, it was a good try.
