  It is day 459. Seagoon remains lost at sea. Rescue crews have seen glimpses of her, but the plan to get her back to dry land safely hasn’t been fully confirmed. Worshippers have been gathering along coastlines, along piers and bridges. They’ve taken up the chanting which appears to have started spontaneously among animals two nights ago…

      Lodion and I have both emailed her directly. Not sure if its a first for him, but this is the first time I’ve emailed an Aussie.Zone user. She hasn’t replied to me - I don’t think Lodion has had a reply, either.

      There is one last trick I have in my arsenal: to change her password myself and send it to her. Though that will leave me in a situation where I know a user’s password and I’m not really comfortable with that direction. I’d prefer to get her password reset with our present approach.

  :: spoiler Got through to Tenants Vic and got a better idea of what my rights were.

  The onus is on the LL to demonstrate that I’m in breach of S61 of the RTA (causing damage) and they cannot unreasonably restrict my quiet enjoyment of the property that I have exclusive use of. If it ends up at VCAT the timing of the claims and notice will be very much taken into consideration - namely that it followed a request to have the rent increase reviewed, and wasn’t an issue beforehand.

  Feeling a bit more relieved. Still gonna be ugly if they try to breach me anyway and we gotta do the whole thing, but at least I know I’m not doing the wrong thing here. :::

  Sox was quite unwilling to leave, but once we coaxed her out from under a couch she was surprisingly compliant with getting into her carrier, thank god - it’s taken two people upwards of 30 mins before (and many scratches). I think I’ve cleared out anything and everything cat related in the apt. Anything else I find can be hidden in the car.

  Now, time to dust, vacuum like mad and mop the floors while it’s still light out, then laundromat time. Gotta cook dinner too. It’s hoppin’ John tonight, the beans are soaking away and there’s a new brand of vegan snags at the shops that aren’t too bad. Once dinner’s done I’ll clean the stove, have a shower, clean the shower glass and then I think I’m done. Ugh.

  “Don’t send that document until I’ve reviewed it” followed a day later by “Why haven’t you sent that document?” “… because you told me not to.” “No, I was talking about something else!” “You might have mentioned that when I emailed you asking for the review.”

  lamb shanks were mid. Veggies were nice but the mirepoix based sauce was TERRIBLE. And the lamb was dry so must’ve been too small for the time I cooked it… Ah well. trying my slow cooker mushroom beef thing that you were all sketch on last time. Will see how we go.

  Also brought kiddo a decent sized ball, huge hit. He loves it. Forcing him to walk more too so that can only be a good thing. He can absolutely walk, he just decides it aint worth it a lot.

  Finally made it to the laundromat, body aching and tired, having finished cleaning everything (EVERYTHING bar the fly screens/windows and insides of cupboards!) and bought groceries and inspected a rental and made dinner and washed all that up too. And god I hate mopping the floors but it does make the place feel nice when I do remember to do it. Just a shame I won’t be here much longer. No more attachment.

  Half a day of work tomorrow… and long-awaited therapy sesh after. I’m gonna sleep well tonight tho.

  The skin specialist rang to organise an appointment with me. Earliest they can do is end of next week. Ok. Then she tells me it’ll cost $365 and I’ll get $80 back via Medicare. She heard the thing in my voice when I agreed to the appointment and said if I wanted to cancel at any stage to just let them know by Tuesday. I just can’t afford it and Elder’s therapy as well. Feeling very conscious about the takeaway we had this evening, we shouldn’t have had it, but I came home tonight and just didn’t have it in me to cook. Mr P just laying about in bed most of the time with no energy and feeling guilty. That’s what it’s like after the heart procedure thing he had, my MIL reckons, as his dad was the same. Boss shuts the factory for 3 weeks over Xmas and New year, so that’s 3 weeks with no dough. Time to get tougher with money.

  Constant articles from the Guardian about how the world is on the precipice of untold calamity is really not helping at this point.

  What are the practical solutions?

  source

  • imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I genuinely suffer from this grief all the time. I am not gonna claim I have anything solved but I can share a few things I do. Firstly I understand/believe we are past a few critical tipping points and there’s a good chance of things getting real bad (especially for marginalised communities - wealth buys some protection for longer). I trust any path humanity has through (waves hands) all this boils down to connection - with nature, with community, with ‘source’ (whatever that means).

    I am devoted to doing the little things that are in front of me to do. Caring for the people that I care for, caring for nature in little ways. I am fortunate that I have a career that’s in an area I care about too. And I look at the stars, the ocean, the trees. I often say sorry to them. And I know they will go on after me. Taking that time helps me.

    This quote I saw on twitter a loong time ago sums up how I get through and I often look at it

    Don’t read the Guardian

  • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The world has ALWAYS been on the brink of calamity. It’s just that the calamity du jour affects different groups/people differently. Some are not affected much and therefore do not care as much, and for some it’s the end of the world as we know it and a serious disaster. What’s different about nowadays is that the group that’s going to be negatively affected is much much larger, and includes folk that up till now haven’t had to think about it much. I’m with @imoldgreeg on this.

    Do what you can in your own life circumstances, and help others where you can without making your own life harder. Don’t forget to thoroughly enjoy the good bits of your life too - that’s just as important. Possibly even more important. Cos these refuel you for coping with the other shit.

    Based on the assignment I just finished writing you should worry less on the big complicated issues and focus smaller, more local issues you can directly impact. I will be focusing on reducing food waste, which through it’s connection to all other problems in existance will eventually fix everything.

    The anarchists say to get to know your neighbours and start engaging in mutual aid to have each other’s back when things get rough, but quite honestly the people around here would probably be the biggest threat for me. Like… they already are.

    And the mutual aid I’ve done in the past has not been mutual.

    Idk what my plan is if everything gets worse. All I can do is cope a day at a time, stay on a news diet and look after myself the best I can.

  Operation Cleanup is progressing decently. The real rush is gonna be after sox leaves around 2ish. Time to start consolidating every single cat item though so that none of it is in the house during the inspection, not even in the cupboards or rubbish. I’ve decided I won’t be at home for the rental as (a) I have a inspection to go to an hour after they arrive, and (b) it will be emotionally draining to hold back my resentment/negativity. Best that all communication is in text.

  Poor poor sox. She’s been glued to me all day and been so cute and snuggly. She has no idea that in a couple of hours she’s going to be forcibly bundled up and whisked back home where she won’t get to jump on the bed or get fussed over like a child. C’est la vie my little furry friend.

  Meanwhile, finally got onto the magical hold music on the Tenants Vic hotline after 11 tries. Gonna just double check what my rights are regarding the demand to remove all my plants (which I have yet to receive evidence for claims that it’s damaging property/upsetting neighbours, so I haven’t moved anything. I’m not going to be bullied. And I sure as hell won’t be breached over it). Got another rental viewing in five, chances are I’ll have viewed it and still not gotten through on the hotline…
