  This guy is five today! He is getting a batch of biscuits when my sister is done with work. I think they have cheese and peanut butter in them. Will attempt to get the recipe from her.

  Sneaky resident magpie stealing my chip just before.

  Image

  The resident mudlark rocked up but this magpie just goes to town on it. Tonight mags did exactly that but still holding the chip in its beak. So lucky that bird and I are on very good terms. So highly aggressive but just not to me. Dogs, cats, other birds, people she doesn’t recognise it just goes flat out at them. I like her. She’s the protector. She earned that chip.

  I went to Coles deli today and because I don’t go by weight I usually just say “a big handful of that thanks mate”. He was a dude with giant hands and I came out with 434gms of chorizo salami. It’s really good chorizo though. No complaints.

    As a person with big hands, I have the opposite issue… Just a bit more thanks

  I got my hair cut and beard trimmed today so I look normal. My dad was always telling me to get it cut and there’s too much at stake, so I don’t want anything being a potential obstacle to another job.

  And I think I might look alright? I’ve lost some hair and pretty much always had it tied back, so I’m not sure if I’d grow it out again when shit gets stable

    I recently got the “yes boss, I’m a functional adult you can hire.” haircut.

    Love me guys with long hair in ponytails tbh. Defo grow it back out when you’re stable!!

    source

    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I liked the idea of long hair but was never completely happy with mine. I felt like it was curly in the wrong way and just felt like a lot of work to maintain for someone that didn’t want to put the effort in.

  I just want to shout out to the teenagers emerging from the bushes after a bit of “Fun” at the park yesterday. I’m pretty sure I’m the only one who clicked what was going on, dont worry. I didn’t see anything NSFW, but dude you cant stagger out like your 10 tons lighter and have your girl emerge 5 seconds later adjusting her dress. Man teenagers are idiots hey.

  booo. Woke up with my heart pumping and feeling anxious. I guess I need to start actively incorporating relaxation techniques again.

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Hugs.

    I’m sorry you’re going through alot of shit right now.

    One thing I like to do to de-stress is to write things down. Lists upon list. Mark things off. Add things. It helps to declutter my mind while actively getting things done.

    I hope you find solutions to your troubles ♥

    source
  • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’ve been there, ugh. Gentle hugs. I used to wake up around 1:30-2am for some reason with my heart pounding. For some reason it helped me to ask myself, “what exactly am I anxious about and can I do anything about it right now?” It’s an awful feeling for sure.

      Added fun if you’re afab: if you have no stressors you’re aware of, go see a doctor. Feelings of dread and heart racing can be indicative of cardio problems, we present differently to amabs

  Big news. The deep sinkhole around the Telstra pit next door is finally getting fixed - three years after the plastic board was bolted to the ground. Nice bloke doing the fixing said that Telstra has QUADRUPLED the number of contractors hired to fix problems, and increased the managers that allocate/organise fixes from 7 to 26!!! Apparently if you SnapSendSolve a problem it’ll be done within a week - faster if someone has tripped or fallen. I will be very interested to see if this outbreak of efficiency lasts.

    Hopefully somebody eventually fixes all the “temporary” yellow plastic board coverings on High St. they have been there since before Covid from memory.

  I sent my biggest new client proposal today (in terms of dollar value) since starting this little insignificant business of mine. I thought it would take years before I’d be pitching to someone like this, but a few things lined up to get this opportunity. Spent hours thinking over the pricing to quote, resisting the urge to quote cheap just to get in the work. I’m not about being the very cheapest, because I take pride in what I do and doing to well. But also I’m a one-man show so I need to be realistic on what people are going to pay for me vs bigger businesses. They probably come to me expecting cheaper. Pricing for work sucks.

  Fingers crossed they go ahead! It will keep me busy for a bit.

  Popped into the new QV Five Guys. First of all, I can’t believe Americans eat like this. There were enough fries in their smallest serving to comfortably feed a family of four, with leftovers for the next day. It looks expensive compared to other burger places but it’s probably fairly equivalent if you price it by weight. The fries and Cajun seasoning on them were so good. The burgers come with two patties; it took all my strength to push through the meat sweats to finish the last 20% of mine.

  Overall, the fries were definitely a winner. I’d choose Huxtaburger over this if I was really craving a burg, even if the serving size there is smaller for the same price. I might be tempted to return for a milkshake or hotdog but maybe after a week or two recovery period. In the mean time think I need a shower. 😮‍💨

    I put on a lot of weight after living in the US for the first few years. They have such a great selection of junk food outlets. I made a commitment to eat at least once at each one. Then it took me five years to get my weight back down again.

  Been awhile but it looks like I’ve got lunch with my dad on Thursday.

  Maybe I didn’t plan it out so well since I had planned to do my grocery shop that morning.

  It’ll be good to catch up with him. Haven’t seen him in months.

  One out of three stressful things done - training and exam (that I didn’t study for at all, but I use the stuff frequently at work and excel at multiple choice exams so I’m confident I’ll pass).

  Also finally got my licence photo taken after procrastinating till the last minute. Don’t want to acknowledge how much older and more stressed out I look after ten years 🥲 my old photo is one of the best ID photos I’ve ever had.

  Next up: last day at lesser job tomorrow with lots if tidying up and handovers. And on Wednesday, big uni meeting for which I have not prepared at all and am more anxious about than today’s exam, but I simply have no energy to look at today. I will not overpush myself. I’m going to go for a walk now with my journal and find some grass to lie on while it’s still bright, although lomgcat is absolutely lovin’ on me right now and mashing her face into my jaw.

  Praying for some restful sleep tonight.

    My somehow my last licence renewal used the old photo which is awesome. I am so young in it now! I don’t want to give it up either.

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      My last licence renewal did too, but it’s now been over ten years so it’s photo change time.

      I’ve just walked myself to a park with heaps of gum trees and although I can hear the freeway in the background, it’s still been so good to kick my shoes off and lie on the grass, feet touching the earth, looking at the leaves in the sky and hearing the commotion of garrulous lorikeets and kookaburras. I love the weather on days like this. I think I should organise a day up in the hills on the weekend with the other day set aside for a massive house clean
