  Dragged my sorry arse out of bed to get the chain adjusted on one of the bikes.

  Have to admit, while I feel like arse, the weather is gorgeous this morning.

  I just saw the forecast for Boxing Day. Oh Dear.

    Not a good day for being at the cricket. Or being a firefighter quite probably.

      I will be far away from the cricket, but the second problem is a concern. Oh well, at least I get public holiday penalty rates. And I just talk to the firefighters, I don’t have to go out there and fight the fires myself. I’m pretty sure my heat tolerance is so low I’d die of heat exhaustion just putting on the turnout gear.

  Gee. I don’t think I’ll try this insomnia tablet. Image

    Making phone calls would be even more of a nightmare I reckon. More possible consequences and a pretty long tail of them.

    For like quite a while now I only have sex when I’m asleep

    Haven’t had sex, but I’ve completely organically had entire conversations while blacked out

    Is it Ambien? Boyo has some terrifying and hilarious tales from taking that.

    I’ve never had blackout sex but I have tried to do deep fry dim sims whilst pretty much blacked out.

    Not doing that again.

      Sounds familiar. But have you tried sleep driving?

  Quirks of moving I forgot about: getting confused, disoriented, and muscle memory breaking down. Got absorbed into a video early on my computer, and got really confused when I heard the blind on the small window behind me clank, because I didn’t have a window behind me in the last place

  Then I forgot where the door was and almost walked into the wall. Brain tried to autofill the space with what was normal a week ago I suppose

  I think part of the reason this is affecting me more than when I moved into the last place is that this time the furniture and layout is very similar, but windows and doors are in different spots. It even looks similar to the last place in my peripheral vision, besides the lower roof. I’ve even got the same bed and desk just about in the same spots they were relative in the last place

  On a more positive note I’m excited about the possibilities of a gigantic floor to ceiling pantry! I could store so much stuff. After unloading what was about a 3 quarter full pantry from the last place into here, it looks like I haven’t gone shopping in weeks and barely have anything. I do, however, have a much smaller fridge/freezer. It came with the house (along with the washing machine). I might ask for funding to get a larger or more energy efficient fridge before I turn 18 and it officially becomes my problem. Or failing that I might set up a saved search on guntree until something suitable comes along at the right price. Since I’ve got one that works, I’m mostly worried about energy efficiency

    In the house that I grew up in, for whatever dumb reason the light switch for the main bathroom was on the outside of the door (my brothers and I used to love switching the lights off on my sister while she was in the shower). We sold that house over 10 years ago and I’ve lived in about 6 others since then but to this day whenever I go into a bathroom I instinctively put my hand on the outside door frame to flick on the lights on the non-existent light switch.

  Making good, but very slow progress in rearranging the abode.

  Interesting thing is that while the couch is in a weird place, it’s opened up the space so much, I still can’t get over it whenever I walk through the door.

  Still have a fair bit of crap to sort out though.

  Meanwhile, my dirty little secret of the month is the amount of cheesy Christmas shows I’m devouring.

  I now want to find the most Christmassy place to partake in the most cheesiest Christmas things I can do. 😂

    Good work! I rearranged the bedroom at my last place a bit over a month ago as a sort of change is as good as a holiday type thing. I was going loosely based on the principles of Feng Shui. Previously my bed was in a horrible position. Had to bump into it to get to my desk or cupboard or dresser or really anything else. I ended up rearranging it into the corner which did block wardrobe access but I never used it anyway

    It was a bit awkward because of how I wanted to place my desk (I wanted to face the door, not have my back turned to it) which exposed all my cables. And since I knew it was only temporary, I didn’t bother trying to cable manage

    It made the space feel so much bigger and more comfortable!

      Oh yeah, I totally get you. I originally had set up two study desks side by side, but my back was also towards the door, so I really didn’t like it. Usually NBD because no one else usually comes over, but it’s yuck nonetheless.
