    I saw your post but fell asleep before replying, just wanted to say it’s a huge undertaking you’re doing but you’ve got a very good head on you and I have faith you’ll get through this next hard bit well even if it’s gonna mean several hard conversations with your mum. Our favourite witch had some excellent suggestions. Feel free to vent here any time

    • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I don’t think I’ve ever seen a poor idea with our favourite witch.

      And thank you. Was a bit of a confronting day. Tm will be reducing hazards.

  I’m glad I talked myself into the gym.

  Incoming vent:

  Birthday being next week, it’s a real rough time to be honest. I can’t help but think about how I don’t have any family to spend time with. I know I’m not the only one in this position, but still feels bad.

  When I was unemployed, I lost a couple of really close friends who I usually hang out with, but I’m grateful for the people in my life that I do have.

  It sounds funny, but I’ve kinda felt like a stray human since I was young.

  Things could always be worse, and I try to keep that in mind. I just have moments of weakness where I wish for things that seem so out of grasp.

  Does anyone know how long you’re allowed to stretch out your turning 40 mid life crisis? I’m down to less than 23 hours until that awful meaningless day but still kinda wanna push it out a little longer.

  source

  • Eagle@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Ummmm. I’ve just turned 45 and still in the midst… but I’m also embracing my inner Cat Lady. And I’ve just had 2 weeks off work, and can wholeheartedly agree that working sucks but I like stuff, and stuff costs money.

    source

    • indisin@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I was just joshing and honest 45 is nothing. I’m jealous of your cats as they are amazing animals, just a shame I’m hospital level allergic to them so I’m happy that you’re living the life I wish I could have ❤️

      But am really sick of this whole money thing. Like why can’t we just all be generous friends?

      source
  • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I generally prefer to condense my mid life crises into a short but intense period of reading and planning. As I get a heads up from my older sister reaching significant milestones a few years before I do any crisis is over before the applicable birthdate.

    I don’t think I had much of a crisis at 40 though, it was more just a short-lived “gosh, when did I get so old!” feeling. 50 was much bigger and led to some major introspection and mapping out of life goals and plans. It probably took a couple of years to get through that. But I started early, so I’m pretty much done even though I have another year before I actually get to 50 myself.

    source

    • makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Agree. 40 was easy. Upcoming 50 is the real deal. 40 I was actually still good looking, fit, etc. 50, the aging is real. Introspection, reflecting, etc all been going on for some time.

  in non pooh news, got a wild hair up my arse yesterday and ripped up half the backyard paving. His Lordship toppled the rest this arvo (I left it for him to go SMASHY SMASHY with the sledge, he so rarely gets to)

  IN MY DEFENSE it’s a pathway we’re gonna replace anyway because 1) it’s too narrow for my garden trolleys and 2) the bloody thing’s subsided to the point where it’s at a 40 degree angle and 3) I need the new level for the end point between the food garden ground level and the path for aforementioned trolleys. And I didn’t mean to. I set the goal of moving my fruit trees to the other side of the greenhouse, and edging down it so we could plot.

  But then I looked at those nice clean edges and thought “I could get a pry under there, I wonder how easy it would be?”

  Surprisingly easy as it turned out. Especially with a 2 meter lever. But then I had a meter and a half of 15cm thick concrete with bluestone chips embedded through it at a 90 angle. No point in letting it back down after all that, and I couldn’t leave it propped up. what if it fell down on wildlife? To the sledgehammer! So then I had pieces that will become the crazy paving on the new path.

  Then I started wondering if the next piece would come up that easily and, well, curiosity, cats and now we’re missing 8m of pathway. Birds are going apeshit on the rolly pollies.

  Success!!! Got the big unwieldly couch dismantled with my friend’s help both physically and mentally. Now I can hopefully get rid of it sooner and if there’s no takers at least it’s a helluva lot easier to move myself. That’s a big ticket item cleared.

  Next up, gotta keep culling and packing clothes… made a bit of a start this am, but I’ll probably do most of it tomorrow. It’s been a big day today with long chats, grabbing a coffee, going to Bunnings together, dismantling this couch in confused stages, going out for lunch, dropping friend home…

  Just back from a lovely walk with my kid. We got to pat 2 very friendly cats, one of which climbed into his lap when he sat down to get closer to it. The other one was called Bruce.
