    Awww how adorable.

    How are they getting along these days?

  Feeling better than yesterday. After considering all my options, talking to various people, and actually having a look online… I’m starting to think that maybe moving will be a better option even if it means being trapped in a 1yr lease - if I stay close to work I don’t need a second bedroom for effective WFH, and that opens up much more affordable options, which offsets the costs of possibly breaking my lease in June/July. It’ll only ever be a short term thing anyway, and in that context… I could live with a lot less than I have now, and with no balcony (I’ll have to give away my plants at some point).

  Now is also probably a great time to look as uni students finish up, before the deadness of Jan and then influx in Feb.

  Sad that it’s come to this but holy hell the sheer stress of feeling unsafe in my own home is not worth it. My body feels better for having looked.

    Would you prefer to WFH or do a full week on site?

    I hope you’ll be able to reach a satisfactory resolution soon.

    Was your LL always like this?

    source

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      She was never like this at all - sure did a few hapless things like not give enough notice for trades stuff and bringing her partner in on inspections but was always positive and easy to deal with. She loved my plants! This seems very uncharacteristic. I’m going to guess her finances are in trouble.

      With the job I’m keeping I prefer working in the office. It won’t be boring as there will be some site inspection work coming up, so living close to office makes it easy to grab a pool car to head off.

    So glad to hear that. There are definitely some options out there still and hopefully you can nab something with a little courtyard or even shared space for the plants.

    source

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      For sure, there’s some with small balconies that might let me keep my best plants (curry leaf and chillies) so that’ll be a real bonus if I can get that. At this point my first priority is a good kitchen, a quiet area with greenery, and plenty of natural light - a place I don’t feel actively miserable in. The rest is a bonus.

• StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  He’s not supposed to be in the sun for very long, due to his lil pink nose, but I let him chill in it for a bit because should be able to sunbake haha

  Always amazed at his beautiful colourful coat; he has orange around his elbows, that are visible here and when I move his fur around, I think it’s mostly underfur that’s orange.

  Anyway, he's Mickey this morning

  Image

  • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    He doesn’t look so happy in that photo. Was he not enjoying the sun along?

    source

    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      He was just listening to all the traffic and voices in the street below, if a truck is super loud he tends to run back inside.

      Just after this, he flopped down and had a light snooze in the sun. I ended up moving some cushions around so his nose was in the shade haha

  Life is pretty subpar lately but Melbcat did something cute last night. She crawled up inside the oodie I was wearing to cuddle and poked her head out the neck hole so she was wearing it too.

  Boss says I can return to work as long as I don’t touch him 😆 Absolutely no problems in that regard 🤣

  So the Dr said yesterday he thinks my sore bits are Impetigo, based on what a couple of them looked like. The rest look like eczema, but he’s put me on antibiotics for a week and if it doesn’t respond he’s sending me to a specialist who might take a biopsy. So I’ve been taking the pills for 1½days and have more patches of sores now ☹️

  source

  • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Impetigo? Best check with your work in case that’s a no no too. But should be ok if you do strictly gloves etc.

    source
  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    oh no, it’s highly contagious, bring in strict hygiene regarding the kids

  Friend was going to the market so I skipped the birdies and went with her. Lovely catch up, coffee then a walk around the park anyway. Such a nice day and realised I was badly in need of some social interaction that’s not work related. Feeling peaceful

  source

  • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That sounds like the perfect day! I totally hear you on how healing it can be to have non-work social interaction - feels like we’re part of something and regulates some of those swirling feelings

    source

    • imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yeah I have been through a few things in my adult life that culled my “friend” list and I am very fortunate that I have a few good ones who are very easy to be around.

  I just learned something about myself. I thought I’d never ridden on a horse but I just saw a photo of me riding one when I was a kid on my parents digital photo frame. How about that.

  I knew I’d ridden on a camel and an elephant. Didn’t know about the horse.

  Good morning. I seem to have woken up at an unreasonable time for Sunday morning

  source

  • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I woke up at 4am and just thought NO I AM NOT and put on one of those silk eye mask things and grabbed another couple of hours. Had a weird dream about Mr P demolishing the kitchen but it was at my late mother’s house, and doing weird things with stoves.

    source
• just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Hmm, I’m noticing that feeling of rising anxiety when the sun sets. Trying not to feed it. That old fear that I haven’t done enough and the day is ending and something’s going to go wrong. No, no, I’m not going to succumb. I’m too old for this, dammit!

  I’ve done some Useful Things today: made rice and dal, paid my licence renewal fee, washed and dried the blanket and sheets, and now I’m going to tidy up my tatty anxiety-brows and pack for a day of training tomorrow. That’s it, I don’t need to do anything else. The day’s been worth it, I can sleep fine. …and if not I have a restavit by my bedside table.

  No steam fresh bags at the supermarket, I’ve had to regress to bulk flash frozen prechopped veggies. Feels like the stone age.

  Heaven knows what I’d have to do if neither were available. Hardly bares thinking about.

    Years ago I bought one of these. If you just use water to steam you’ll still have to wash it but the task won’t be too bad.

    Chopping veg is tough for a lot of people. If you can’t get the steam bags or frozen veg, you can also buy bags of prechopped fresh veg

  Ok. I have to knuckle down and do some study/work later but I have a few hours now. Can’t decide between

  • Farmers market (don’t need much but fresh eggs and a wander is always nice)
  • Take a book to the gardens and just hang out in nature for a bit
  • Podcast and a long walk past where the birdies hang out - I’ll pack binoculars

  All these things need different stuff in my backpack and brainspace so I want to do one. What should it be?

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’d perv on the birdies. It’s a perfect day for it.

    • imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yeah I think you are right. I could do with a good walk too. Now I just have to find my hat from wherever I stashed it at the beginning of winter 👒🚶‍♀️🐦🦜🪿
