Weird nightmare crew represent đđ»đŠ đ§ââïžđđ©șđ„
typed it out then realised it was kinda gross
I dreamt I had weird creatures/fungus/organisms all under my skin. It started with weird ant things coming out of my belly button the it was everything from giant green amoebas to insect type things to fungi. And one giant long thing up one leg that was a tracking device.
Took forever to get to a doctor but he was helping me get them out. Then there was some guy chasing me oh and I had to get to a wedding. I am bloody exhausted. Off to check my whole body for weird pimplesâŠ(Shudder)âŠâŠanotherspringchicken@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâve got the Rona which seems to be making mine extra weird
Aradina@lemmy.ml âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I had a weird nightmare but I forgot it.
The other night I also had a weird nightmare involving zombies, a woodchipper, and a large and sturdy plate glass window.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I dreamed about wanting to hike to a waterfall and then hearing that it was now overrun by giant killer rats. I then I went to a weird ânaturalâ lake but creatures from Diablo IV started coming out of a tunnel nearby and my boyfriend and I had to fight them, twas pretty wild!

I once dreamed I had seedlings growing in my legs.

However itâs still June and the bottle of Jager needs to be emptied.
Huzzah!

Iâve been there. I grew up with a few of the Walker mob, the descendants of Kath Walker the poet. Shame about the sand mining company effectively stealing the island.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Lovely, I hear it has great diving theere.

That thread on the melbourne sub about the guy who had the mattresses dumped in his yard really makes me mad that the EPA, Council or Police wonât do anything about it. Theyâre just letting a scummy business owner get away with it.
bull@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Agreed. It sparked the vigilante in me and a lot of others in there.
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Bet if you dump it in front of the Council or EPA CEOâs house something gets done.

Finished writing a letter to all the submissions for my writing competition. They all did such a magnificent job, and some of the stories were genuinely really good with interesting themes and ideas and twists that I decided to make them all winners. So they all get signed copies of my book.
I went to one school on Wednesday and announced the winners at assembly. Public speaking is not fun, but I think I did ok. But what really got me was as I was sitting and waiting, one of the kids randomly asks for a high five. Which I obliged. And the girl next to him goes âDonât you know who that is? Thatâs [my name]. The author.â, which is a licorice all sorts of a wow moment for me.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
âDonât you know who that is? Thatâs [my name]. The author.
Bro, you made it! thats so fucking cool!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Thatâs so cool and cool a kid asked for a high five and cool you obliged. đ
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
They are ridiculously excited over small things and itâs so damn infectious. Certainly makes me feel better.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Got the nerves a bit today waiting for a call about the job from Tuesday.
Trying to distract myself pretty much.
Fingers crossed đ€đŸ
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I sent you a PM on that.

Train - coughing ppl Work - person sits at the desk next to me coughing and snotting.
Dentist - kid with chesty cough in waiting roomFfs. Iâm masked up because I have health issues.
Taleya@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm seriously looking at the Envo Masks. Iâm still WFH, but Hubs heads into the city and Iâm fucking sick of him bringing home plagues.

On the way to school my daughter came across a flock of corellas. Of course she took snaps. I think they made her day. Itâs also the last day of term so itâs double happiness âș
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
A couple of years ago I passed a flock of little corellas feeding on the grass at Latrobe Uni - they were eating bullants. Wtf? Only creature Iâve EVER seen eating bullants.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I didnât get it. Pretty bummed out but thereâs some more opportunities on the horizon.
Damn it.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm sorry. Take Simon out for a beer to commiserate tonight yeah? He did his best and deserves it!
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I think thatâs a great idea mate đ
Iâm waiting on a response from yesterdayâs interview which will come next week, another lined up for Monday, and my details being submitted for 2 more roles today.
Something will come through soon đ€đŸ
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Boo, sorry to hear it. Hopefully the next one is The One.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I figure when it happens Iâll be over the moon considering all these issues lol
StudChud@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Bloody white-ass boomers pushing their way onto PTV. Everyone else stood to the side, but these four just had to make sure they got the seats they wanted⊠Even though there was only, like, 10 of us on the platform, who got on a whole ass train.
And they call my generation ungrateful and mannerless. Pfft.
Baku@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Oooh competitive goonsy. You beat me, although you were 5 seconds early and posted this yesterdayâŠ

Iâll just try to finish off my wishlist. Iâm terrible at actually buying games.
I get an email that a game I wishlisted is on sale and I just go, âthatâs great, good for themâ and never actually buy it
Baku@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
My sale was not very productive. I only got 3 games because I decided to buy cities skylines 2, which was only 10% off and still going for 62 bucks.
Also I donât actually have enough space to install any of them because I left my hard drive at home
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Handrail done!
Have to say I am fond of squabbling with the old man about how to go about the DIY stuff. Thereâs never any love lost but it is hilarious when thereâs disagreement.
Sort of a pseudo argument. You can be both right but wrong. You agree to disagree, then disagree on agreeing to finally agree to agree, but deep down you disagree.
I guess thatâs bonding.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
That looks really good. Much fancier than I was expecting.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
That looks amazing! Well done â€ïž

Gratitude thread!
Today Iâm seeing my friend who I havenât seen in six months (she lives in Sydney) and sheâs going to surprise another one of my friends :)
Also I was greeted by the doggo when I woke up this morning, which is a rare occurrence. I believe he sees me as lower than him on the food chain hahaha

To rent furiosa on YouTube is 29.99 AUD. Are you for fucking real?
SituationCake@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Had a moment today where a modern life tech thing baffled me (online access type thingy), and I got frustrated (eventually solved it). Iâm not that old but Iâm not young either, and it used to be utterly effortless to keep up with the latest life admin requirements, but am finding that occasionally I now feel out of the loop. Is this the tip of the iceberg? I donât want it to be. I donât want to age and become useless at new stuff comes out. I Do. not. like. It.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Home again after Crazy Day of Hell Week. I am comforting myself with the reflection that itâs a whole year before the next one. I am enjoying a much deserved glass of wine and some godlike snax (fancy as shit sandwiches from the freezer) as I cbf cooking tonight due to exhaustion. Going to tap out fairly early tonight I think. Have a drink of whatever on me folks to celebrate.

Wow the music down at the Firelight festival is louder than any music Iâve ever heard from any event and that includes NYE celebrations. Usually the music barely registers with me but itâs proper loud. Yelling get out of my yard from the balcony has proven unsuccessful.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Installing a little outdoor handrail for the pâs today. Just 5 steps.
Safe to say I have no idea what Iâm doing.
I have watched the youchoobs though so with any luck they wonât fall down.
tone212_@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Caught up with an old colleague for drinks tonight. We had a good gossip / bitching session about our previous employer, both of who we had problems with, and talking about how much better we are off now.
Then I was craving noodles for dins - still thinking about how good this was. Hit the spot.

Reckon I could troll my colonoscopy team by swallowing a lego head the morning of the procedure.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Still struggling health wise and having to jump through bureaucratic hoops.
spoiler
(I went to hospital last night but didnât get the intervention I was hoping for/need. Just an escalation of an existing referral.) This pattern may continue for some time so Iâll probably not be posting much about it and really downplaying it. Because Itâs a bummer and nobody wants to read about all that for months or years.
Iâve found something easy that helps combing but might still go for the low maintenance cut when I have the chance. Iâve had the style before, so I know it looks sophisticated and suits me well.
I havenât been able to do much cooking or gardening lately but might still go and post to the instances in a bit. Pump up the comment numbers. đ
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
discovered I can easily pull my stupid sliding windows out, meaning cleaning them just went from âDamn near impossibleâ to âa decent project, but perfectly doableâ. Hopefully the rain holds out a bit on the weekend cause Iâd love to tackle a few more. theyve got 15 years of moss and dirt built up.

A bit of a setback for Elder this morning. The welfare person at his school suggested we try next term for three morning sessions a week in class for an hour each time. When I mentioned it to Elder he had a meltdown, couldnât sleep and now isnât going to this morningâs meeting at all đđ His therapist actually suggested that online virtual schools might be the solution for now because heâs missed the whole first year of highschool up to this point, but the problem with that is Mr P is dyslexic and is not au fait with internet and tech and I have work, so thereâd be nobody at home in a position to support him. Iâm going to talk to my boss about more flexible hours (the financial planner in my head says, âbut we need the money dammit!â), but Iâm not optimistic as it is a factory job after all. Virtual Schools Victoria, aside from when the classes are held via video conferencing, are actually very flexible in their scheduling. Going to work now with all this running around in my head and had to put it somewhere đ€Żđ”âđ«
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâm so sorry youâre having such a hard time. I hope you can find a solution that works for all of you â€ïž
