  Good news! Elder Minipeeler got accepted into the school we applied for! I started crying with gratitude on the phone, and when I went back into the kitchen I burst out into this huge sobbing like I rarely have before, that wracked my whole body, and everyone was most alarmed by me sobbing and smiling. I didn’t realise how much tension I was holding in my body until it all came rushing out, and now after a hard day’s work I’m utterly exhausted!

  Good boy Milo. Good job.

    On ya chudsy!

    I need to be writing up my assessments because on Monday we’re moving onto the next unit, but the due date isn’t until the end of the month so it’s feeling difficult to get started

    I’ve done half of one, haven’t started the other 2. Apparently we didn’t have enough time to do the first of the roleplays, so the trainer said to just submit it with a blank file and she’ll mark us competent based on how we interacted in the class

    source

    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I just want to get it all submitted and padded before Thursday next week, so I don’t have to go to class until next semester lol. If I can get all the assessments done and submitted before the due date, then I have more time to amend any feedback/mistakes, and way more time to chill.

      Get onto it now dude, so you don’t have to worry later; 4 weeks goes by really quickly when you’re at school.

  King Island Dairy is closing next year. No more amazing triple cream brie and smoked cheddar. And 60 people losing jobs in a small community. Devastating.

  source

  • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Definitely a loss…but their prices were pretty out there. I want to support local businesses, but can’t justify the costs most times.

    Triple cream brie is the goat and I’m sad 😔

    Oh no! I remember scrolling through the King island website, and they were really proud of the cheese 😔

    source

    I bought the brie and cream on very special occasions. Saputo, a Canadian based multinational company which expanded via mergers and acquisitions, can’t find a buyer.

    So sad. Love their Brie. I guess I’ll just have to over indulge while it’s still available. It seems like it should be a profitable business? Surely there’s a cheese loving millionaire that wants to buy it? Don’t they want to save their cheese platters? Do it for the good of the nation!

  I am SO cheesed off with airlines only offering PayID as a fee free method of payment - it’s fucked because some banks will always place a temporary hold on payments to new payees - and then the booking gets cancelled! Fuck sake! And then you have to be out of pocket TWICE to try and pay again, meanwhile you have the initial payment floating around god knows where and no guarantee of when it will be returned. So fucking stressed out.

  I want he’d inside out 2 tonight

  Good movie, do recommend

  I thought it might be kind of upsetting, because I sometimes find family type tv shows. Often feels kind of like a depressing reminder of what I don’t/won’t have. I’ve sometimes even found things like the Simpsons saddening.

  But I just tried to stay out of my head and not give it much thought, and it seemed to work. Also managed to make the very last bus home of the night which is nice, otherwise I would’ve been walking 30 minutes back from the next one!

  Weather has thrown me around for a 6 today.

  Hopefully it’s not too all over the place this weekend.

  Warning: AFL nuffie talk

  Had some really nice heartwarming moments today from parents who gave me lots of encouragements about Geelong on their match last night.

  I wear my team scarf and beanie almost everyday and they know much it meant to me when I showed up super happy.

  I know it’s not for everyone but it’s one of simple things that makes me happy. I hope we can go all the way this year.

  Despite having needle like claws Miss Meow is not very good at sewing. She keeps trying to help, which mostly involves sitting on any fabric I am working with, throwing cotton onto the floor and trying to walk on the sewing machine while I am using it.

  They’ve finally installed the new locks into the doors. Typical bad news: no deadbolts. Not even a proper lock. It has the same locks as on my toilet door, except rather than being openable with a butter knife, they’re openable with a key.

  To make up for the lack of a deadbolt, they’re installing these fugly looking metal plates outside the locks. They’re going to jutt out from the wall outside the door, with the goal being that you can’t open it up with a bank card. Doesn’t help too much when they purchased the cheapest doors Bunnings sell, and also the flimsiest looking locks I’ve ever seen.

  They can’t even be locked from the outside. When I want to lock my door, I have to push the little nub button inside and pull the door closed.

  There’s more bad news: they knocked back my request to have these style of locks fitted on the bathroom door because apparently my bathroom qualifies as “a shared zone”. I asked what he meant by that because my bathroom is just for me, and is not shared with anybody else. He said he was told there will be “a couple of new kids moving in shortly”. That’s not good, because the house is a 2 kid property. That’s why we each have 2 bedrooms and a bathroom/toilet each. If what Mr. Locksmith says is true, I’m going to be kicked out of my spare bedroom and probably have to share my bathroom and toilet.

  I hope he’s just misinformed. That’s a bad omen if true

  I’ve decided to go another course of antibiotics while we sort the cat specialist, so I get to wrestle Melbcat and feed her gross banana flavoured liquid for another 10 days! 🍌 Some keeps ending up on her fur so I think I will be buying a bib.

  The specialist I saw seemed ok, not sure if he’ll be able to help but was at least respectful and willing to listen.

  The faintly scented home brand soap I bought is a bit drying on my hands but otherwise hasn’t caused immediate issues? That’s not to say it won’t. But if it works out I have a backup soap for any supply shortages of the unscented bars.

  If it doesn’t I guess it gets donated to the food pantry minus that bar or turned into laundry soap.

  I have signed up to do a physical activity study. I don’t know whether I’m hoping to be in the activity group where I have to use a fitness tracker and app for 6 months or the control group, where I get to make no changes but feel no guilt because it is “for science” and not laziness 🤣

  It did inspire me to work out how to fix my scales that somehow got changed to pounds instead of kg. Now I just need to work out how to fix the thermometer that changed to Farenheit when I replaced the battery and I’ll have pulled my bathroom out of the weird American vortex it got sucked into.

  I have been researching online to find options to bind a book I am making. I have decided a combination of bamboo skewers, string and a stick of some type will be utilized. Tomorrow is going to be an intersting arts and crafts day, in which I either put together a glorious creation or a weird looking mess.

  Eye primer report: Nude by Nature was a big let down. Not even 2 hrs and already oily and creased. The application had a very silicone feel so I was already skeptical.

  The Barry M Lid Lock seems to be performing well. 5 hrs last night with the tiniest hint of creasing, but only if you really nitpicked and didn’t look oily or ready to really crease. That was an evening wear.

  I am into almost 5 hrs of day wear and it seems to be holding up similarly.

  I’m not crazy oily, but enough that eyeshadow without primer or even with foundation powder base would oil up in a couple of hours. This is why Urban Decay is so good. I used to be a little hit and miss with it when I realised that I wasn’t applying enough. Even if it’s anecdotal, the fact that my eyeshadow lasted all day in 30+ degrees in Cambodia with humidity while my face oil/sweat did its worst is a real testament to how good it is (on me anyway).

  UD is just stupid pricey and I think the formula has changed like some people have mentioned, it seems to dry out and cake a lot faster in the tube. Sad.
