We need the place and time again I forgot :(
I have lemons to throw.

Lyrebird Lounge, 8.30 pm. Just near Ripponlea Station. Will be there too - look for the red fedora.

Break a leg
bacon@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I’ll be the witness to make sure you are telling the truth and the whole truth.
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I might be there too.
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
One of us one of us
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Not my part of the city so can’t get there but good luck
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Awesome man! I can’t be there but I’ll be thinking of you. Rock the house!
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Have a great gig!

So I need to just put this somewhere. With my skin condition dramatically worsening by the day I returned to the GP, who looked as shocked as I felt. The odd little bumps/sores have become open weeping ulcers and spread over my biceps and thighs. He has taken swabs and is testing for Buruli/Bairnsdale ulcer and faxed an urgent referral to a local specialist. I feel emotionally yukky but physically there’s no pain at all, just when I sweat it stings. I’m trying to stay positive but I’m pretty depressed.
wscholermann@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Oh my gosh how horrible. But hopefully whatever it is is fully treatable and most likely will be.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I’m so sorry you’re having such a hard time. I hope everything gets better soon ❤️
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Oh gosh. I hope it gets sorted out asap. ♥
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Oh fuck, that sounds really worrying. I’m glad there’s no pain but it sounds like an urgent case for sure. Fingers majorly crossed that they get back to you with a treatment asap…
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
hugs
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Hopefully things will get better for you soon, especially with the urgent referral.
Please try and take care and glad you were able to see the GP again.
bacon@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Spud and I have arrived. We are at the back.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I will have to attend in spirit form only. If you hear a soft rustling of wings or a quiet “caw” , that will be me. 🙂
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
So that was you getting into the rubbish bins behind the station?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I’m about 10mins away. Traffic sucks
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Time for a nap and last low energy practice.
Here we go!!!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Good luck!!

Really over the anxiety/depression :/ just deep unease all of today and now feeling really glum and dull about everything. I even walked to work in the sun this am, and work was productive, but I still felt detached and fuzzy. Cough still rattling around too. I don’t think taking a sick day is going to help as I’ll just be unsettled all day.
No suitable rentals have popped up so far on my radar. Registered interest in a couple but no updates yet.
Ugh. I managed to buy some veg on the way home, I’ll force myself to make a pasta dish and eat it and crawl into bed to dissociate on the phone for the rest of the evening. Tomorrow is a new day…
wscholermann@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Anxiety is horrible, soul destroying and crippling. But it does usually comes in waves, admittedly a wave can last a long time. Just hold on for a break in the surf where you will have a respite from the anxiety.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Thanks man. Yeah, I know in my mind that it’ll pass, even if it’s a month away, but man this is such shitty timing. Sucks being physically unwell too. I’m going to reframe my early bedtime as looking after myself and creating a sense of safety so I don’t feel like I’m spiraling. I got this. One day at a time.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
That is one IMPRESSIVE whisker. According to Doreen Tovey (yes I’ve been re-reading Cats in May and Cats in the Belfry), chewing off a whisker or two is a love offering. You were there for her when she was suffering, so now she’s there for you. Who says cats can’t do empathy?

gotta tackle this soon myself. Another 2 cubic meters of mulch and the topsoil to finish some raised planter boxes.
Taleya@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I’m still base ground prepping, but expecting to go ham with wicking beds this summer.

I hope you’re ok mama @Seagoon_@aussie.zone ♥
bacon@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
🍀
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I’ve been wondering how Seagoon is going, too. Hope she’s ok 💛
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Odd question, but do ya’ll ever plan out other lives for yourself? Occasionally I’ll just sit on realestate and and look shit up. Might be like “alright, if I split with the mrs can I afford to buy a unit? where am I gonna live?” or “Fuckit, lets all move up to bright! I hate it here, alright what can we afford?”
I find it really therapeutic for some reason. These alternate lives I’ll never live out.
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I sometimes wonder what it’s be like to be a dog or cat when I see them.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I’ve definitely planned out what to do with large lotto wins I will never have. Looked at moving overseas or interstate. I’ve considered moving into a unit right in the centre of Melbourne so I can enjoy all the activities there, or moving to a big block of land in the middle of nowhere and fixing up a rundown place.
I think it is a healthy thing to do, as long as you are not doing it with rose-coloured glasses and making yourself unhappy with your current circumstances. If you are doing it realistically it often ends up highlighting things that are important to you - things you would miss if you made different choices, and sometimes things you really want that you are actually able to do now.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I do the lottery thing regularly. I don’t resent my current life, but love to imagine what it would be like to not worry about bills and just live life.
Personally I’d have a place in like Daylesford or similar. Trees, pond, dogs, fireplace etc.
Doing nothing would be blissful.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I always thought dreams were my alternate lives in the multiverse. That’s how I look at it anyway
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Frickin hope not. Cause my alternate selves die a ton and also have a bunch of orgasmless sex.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I sometimes find my daydreaming self inserting myself into works of fiction - such a Sherlock Holmes, the Vorkosiverse etc. Probably a symptom of deep psychosis.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I am OFTEN on the bridge of a warship protecting the earth. Usually heroically telling the crew to abandon ship as I fight impossible odds bravely sacrificing myself.
Good to know its not just me.
tone212_@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Looking at houses I can’t afford (and judge them harshly) is a real one. Also, I was deeply fantasising about moving to NYC when I travelled there a couple of years back, asking people I met there about their experience in moving, even though I knew deep down I’d never do it. It’s nice to dream!
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
The afternoon sleepiness is upon me.
Coffee not helping.
2 hours of meetings on the horizon.
Grant me strength oh mighty Odin.
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Mice are so cute!!! Ugh, their little paws, their little noses, their cute eyes. This course is great just for doing health checks on mice tbh
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
Little bit of a rambling. I’m sitting here writing notes, made a mistake so I scrubbed it out and then I realised I can erase it out because it’s an erasable gel pen. Then I remembered the old pen rubbers that did diddly squat but rip your paper so everyone used liquid paper instead. Got me thinking.
What has come a long way (for the better) since your childhood?
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I’ve been having after 9pm thoughts all day about what I’d do if I don’t get this job, just because I haven’t heard back from them straight away.
I need to keep in mind these things take time and there are still over avenues open if this doesn’t come through
Taleya@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
wandered up to the broadbents around the corner with our garden trolley and oh my god we are gonna do so much damage at that place. Landscape supplies within a five min trolley stroll that sell shittons of good quality compost and mulch? mwah. Mwahahhaha. MWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
If the rain and wind could hold off until say 9pm that’d be great. I’m meant to be doing outdoor cooking with kids this evening.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
So pissed off with myself. I bought a Squishmallow thinking it would cheer me up but all I can think of is how much it cost and I’m afraid to get it dirty. I could have sewn something myself from an open source pattern if I wanted something that bad.
Same with the old secondhand tv. I hoped it would help to get dvds to watch but it’s awkwardly large for my space and I wouldn’t have had to pay if I’d been more careful and didn’t let my original one get nicked.
Also my energy bills are higher than they should be because disability lead to using a lot of hot water for pain management and a (low efficiency secondhand) dryer to reduce the exertion of tasks.
I’m managing ok but am getting really irritated at the areas I’m not able to min-max. It feels so wasteful
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I had so many things I was going to do this morning, and here we are after Noon and they remain undone.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
It costs about $400 to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Bit exxy. Worth it?
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
feeling OK today. You know that scene in the last air bender where Aang opens up his chakras? felt very similar (embarrassingly) to that. I’m not sure I believe in that stuff but its just what it felt like. First time I sort of bounced off the “avatar state” (or whatever the fuck the end goal of whatever this journey my mind is trying to take is). But I tried again and sort of got that connection. Was nice.
I just had this voice in my head go “Be brave, dig deep”. The music hit the right note and I just sort of fell into it.
Sadly, no sign of any bending abilities.

wscholermann@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I guess I should get around to voting in local council elections although I really CBF. I personally think local council should be abolished, and duties transferred to a new state government department. That way all the pissy little mini contracts done by councils can all be amalgamated.
Also I need to make dinner and I am hungry, but I’m also too lazy to make it.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I really need to work out an easy way to protect my seedlings from snails during that vulnerable time, I swear they can smell the new sprouts. Clear plastic tub as a makeshift hothouse might be the go.
I can’t eat the produce but want to grow some food for a friend.
Aradina@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
Showers increasing, says the BOM app.
No they’re not, says a look out the window.

I had a really rough day and crashed out, was too late in getting the tub over the seedlings so another got quite chewed.
I don’t know why I keep trying to do stuff that requires consistency and follow through. But what else to do? Nothing?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
I need to go and pick up my car from being serviced. It will either work out well, or I will be caught in a storm half way through my walk and come home soggy. 🤞
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
That was an incredible time ❤️
Thanks so much to everyone here for all your support over the last year or so. It’s been a hell of a ride, and I’m super grateful ❤️
