Hi,
Please be advised that I am going to meme your cat.
Thank you for not objecting.
Kind regards,

Well, yah Llab has levelled up in the migraine game. Forced ED visit was a first.
Feeling human at this point, highly underrated.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to people who made drugs.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 9 months ago
hope you feel better real soon
migraines can be scary , just rest now , so many hugs
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Thanks so much! Rest was definitely advised.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Migraines are vile. Are you on preventative meds? It could be time to revisit your neuro if things have changed.
Yay for feeling human!
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Thanks! Definitely revelling in my humanness today!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Oof that sounds rough. :( hope it’s a quick recovery and stays that way for you here
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Thanks so much!
Much, much better now. Never say never, but praying this is my first and last (visit).
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 9 months ago

Attempting this for dinner - Air fryer nachos
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 9 months ago
You NEED to let us know how you go
Duenan@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Oohh nachos. Sounds yummy!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 9 months ago

Yay: brain fog seemed to be clearing Nay: got short sharp shock diarrhoea immediately after eating out today Yay: recovered quickly and took my young relative on her first ever drive and it went well Nay: brain fog returning and can’t have tasty dinner :( Yay: I have no commitments for the rest of the weekend and a light week next week, and can just sleep, and sleep, and sleep.
Duenan@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Damn. Really riding that roller coaster there.
What’s for dinner tonight?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Just plain clear soup and toast. Not gonna be too hard on my tummy for tonight at least
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 9 months ago
God I’m annoyed.
Old man is 80 attempting to clean gutters (that I’ve already cleaned). Ladder would be 2.8m high. When I wasn’t looking he moved the ladder which I had anchored and tethered at the correct angle on flat gravel. At 80, doing it in inappropriate footwear, moved it to undulating wet grass with a running hose (going all over the ladder).
So I gave him a lecture on how fucking stupid that was. He didn’t take that well.
Just last month putting blinds up inside, he was scaling a step ladder in socks.
Fucken death wish.
Duenan@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Stubbornness at its best. My dad’s prone to it as well.
Sigh
ajsadauskas@aus.social 9 months ago
@Duenan @Bottom_racer And people wonder why I'm scared of ladders!
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Well, one of the highest %age of falls includes a ladder.
May or might not help: …gov.au/…/dont-fall-for-it-falls-can-be-prevented…
(Hmm, just realised I have no links markup button.)
Anyhoo, facts: risk of falls is higher post surgery. Does he really want to risk a break or joint replacement (NOF breaks do not equal fun). There will be pain, recovery and restrictions.
Not to mention all the other nasties you can do.
Nothing is a good as your own stuff is you if don’t need it replaced. (Pride before fall. Pun intended.)
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 9 months ago
seriously, if you use a ladder wait until you can get someone to help
Eagle@aussie.zone 9 months ago
And I’ll add to this that the 12 month mortality rate post hip fracture for those over 65 is around 50%. It truly is life changing and not in a good way.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Went shopping for a birthday gift for 10yo, who apparently is into Rainbow Friends. Ugh, I hate buying Roblox game merch, like they need my money. Minipeelers started to get shitty at each other, so I bought them each a $5 pool noodle and had them fight it out in the park next to the train station. They had fun with it, and it made a few people smile as they went past.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 9 months ago
That’s brilliant!!!
ajsadauskas@aus.social 9 months ago
@CEOofmyhouse56 @PeelerSheila Reminds me of a few years ago, when I had to go along to a friend's kids' birthday party.
I really didn't know what to get as a prezzie. I ended up picking a stuffed pink unicorn toy that cost maybe $10.
Fast forward to the party.
The kids parents and grandparents absolutely spoiled this kid.
I'm talking hundreds of dollars worth of toys. It was just obscene!
The living room of their house ended up filled with them. A Barbie doll house that was taller than this kid. A ride-on toy car. Half a dozen battery-powered things that made annoying noises.
Anyway. Eventually the kid opened my present.
Hrr eyes lit up. She grabbed it, cuddled that unicorn, and left all the other toys on the ground.
Her grandma and grandpa were visibly miffed.
So yeah. Sometimes a cheap, fun toy trumps hundreds of dollars of overpriced plastic crap. 🧸🦄🎁
Eagle@aussie.zone 9 months ago
We’re running a roaring trade off in gift bags with a roblox gift card and giant bags of mixed Lollies in my 10yo’s friend group.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 9 months ago
I’m gonna keep that in mind for next time, that’s a good one.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 9 months ago
The dog and I had a synchronised snooze on the couch. The kid walked past and took a photo because we looked “cute” and also to deposit a dropped chicken nugget into his bowl. He did not wake up. I have broken a Jack Russell.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Doggo rigidly respecting the 5 second rule.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 9 months ago
He must of been in a deep sleep because he can hear a dropped nugget from three rooms away.
Baku@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Now I want chicken nuggets
Related: has anyone tried snchitz’s nuggets (which they lovingly entitled “Schnuggets”)? I haven’t because they seem ridiculously expensive, but then again, they all at the moment
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 9 months ago
No I haven’t tried them
Buy some spicy chicken tenders from the freezer at Aldi. They are very good.
Eagle@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Did he get his nuggs in the end? My heart is breaking thinking that the poor critter is starving.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Yeah he got his nugget and of course he wanted more.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 9 months ago
I have finished bg3. And I am heartbroken. It wasn’t the destination, it was the journey. And the characters will have a last effect on me. 10/10 perfect game.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Time for another play through and a different ending
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Honestly no idea what I’m gonna do next. Gonna give Bg3 a bit of time to mellow I think.
Baku@aussie.zone 9 months ago
I felt the same about suzerain. Kind of broke me for a few days afterwards. There’s nothing really sad, but being completely engrossed in a story of your choosing for 15-20 hours tends to make your character feel like an extension of yourself. Hard to snap out of it
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Exactly, the character WAS me. And he got a happy ending of sorts but it was about the family made along the way and some tough losses.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 9 months ago
What did you play as?
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Wizard. With Karlach, shadowheart and lazel as my main party.

Morning mum. Welcome to the weekend 🥰
just_kitten@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Fell asleep on couch for hours. Would’ve stayed there if I hadn’t turned off the heater at some point. Moved to bedroom which should’ve been pre heated between 8-11pm but the heat had all dissipated by the time I ambled in at 2:50am. I’m under so many layers but now I can’t go back to sleep, grrr…
On the upside, first night without any coughing at all, probably from sleeping on the couch with my head raised much higher.

Shrinkflation/enshittification
Tried to stretch out the overly tight undies elastic that was cutting into me and the fabric straight up ripped. Then I was using the hairdryer to dry some slightly damp sponged spots on the electric blanket and the motor burned out. It literally died and produced smoke. Big W and Kmart used to be good for basics but are now just cheap and nasty. Barely usable. I’m in a Sam Vimes situation constantly spending to replace things that are unwearable or break extremely fast. Unfortunately the more expensive brands seem to be similarly bad so that’s not a reliable solution. Even the material I could buy to make my own clothes would be more expensive and worse. Also I bought a soap I used many years ago. The reformulation stinks, burned my skin, and the bar is now tiny. Not only shorter more narrow and thinner but the arch on the back has become so pronounced that half the bar is gone.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 9 months ago
It’s Saturday night and I’m so stressed because I was worried I’d made a mistake on an order and was ready to write my resignation to my boss. I think that it’s time I get a new job.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 9 months ago
I don’t know what to do with my life. The only thing that remotely appeals to me is secondary teaching. I gain satisfaction from seeing lightbulb moments after teaching someone how to do something, I think of myself as a relatively patient person, I care about student welfare and am passionate about the subject areas I want to teach.
I’ve always struggled with school (partly due to undiagnosed ADHD that I’m still not medicated for) and also I know I’d be perceived as a pushover and not know what to do when a kid is behaving poorly. I was perceived that way when tutoring.
My parents say they don’t see me in the classroom. They say to do something in the medical field that’s not medicine or nursing.
I’m in my last semester of my degree majoring in psychology. I’ve been merit listed for HR jobs which probably means I won’t get something. I will probably end up going into further study, but even teaching is starting to not appeal to me anymore. I don’t know what to do and the pressure is mounting to decide.
Part of me just wants to run away to the other side of the world and work as a bartender, because it would work with my sleep schedule and making drinks seems fun.
oztrin@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Feeling supremely unmotivated after this morning’s early activities, not helped by both Zooki and Sammi pinning me to the couch. Did manage to get a load of washing on though.
StudChud@aussie.zone 9 months ago
Just slept 13 hours. Hopefully I have paid off some of my sleep debt.

I do most of my shopping in Brunny and I just want to shout out and say everyone there dresses so stylishly. They might not have designer clothes but what they wear they wear so well and confidently.

The last of the shitty brickwork is outta the grouuuund!!!
Since i need to put in drainage anyway, thinking of maybe dropping french drain lines along the original dividers. Hubby quite liked them, but they were shot to shit and in the way of my planned wicking beds.

Hi everyone, just a quick heads up that I’ve creatdd an account on Aussie Zone directly, instead of cross-posting from Mastodon. So if you’ve noticed my username has suddenly changdd, that’s why 😊
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 9 months ago
