    In 2 weeks, it’ll be ten years sober.

    I don’t want to write a novella, but it’s been a hell of a ride. From sleeping on a mattress on the floor wearing all my clothes and still being cold, to a relatively regular existence.

    A lot of the time, its been a one man show so to speak. And I’m really fucking proud of my accomplishment.

    Fuck giving up on what you want and your dreams.

    And fuck anyone who tries to bring you down to their level.

    Everyone agrees the cheesecake is the bomb! Aww yiss! Got the security tag off too after googling what kind it was and working out it was just a beeper tag (used the “forks” method with needle nose pliers to clip the wire). 💪🏼

      Your call is important to us. Due to unusually high demand an operator is currently unavailable. Please listen to several hours of aggravating musak while we clip our toenails.

      Yeah! I mean I appreciate that it’s not stinkin’ hot but can we have a bit more of the in-between weather instead of strobing from too hot to this? I love the rain but it sucks if you’re planning on doing stuff, and I’ve got Mount Washmore to tackle!

    Does this mean Monday is postponed?

      The extra Saturday is for finishing up all those jobs we didn’t get round to yesterday. Sunday has been omitted due to lack of interest. Monday I regret will still happen.

    Just started watching Severance and it’s GOOD. Today will be spent watching an episode whenever I lose the willpower to do stuff (about 20 minutes, on average).

    Bought a new to me bike. A cheap racer. Save me lugging and parking my steel touring bike around town. If the cheap racer gets pinched, it’s a bother but not the end of the world. Spent the day setting it up. Unfortunately my marathon tyres don’t fit so I’m sticking with the 23mm contis it came with.

    Such an easy HD upgrade today. So pleased, although not having a big HD to begin with made it a quick process…

    But thermal paste. Oh my lawd, thermal paste that has not dried. Cleaning that up. May it never happen again.

    Urge to hoard power tools

    I had a brain wave and went on eBay. I don’t need much in the way of power tools so found a knockoff rotary tool for under $30 and it has a drill bit included. (If I need different sizes later they’re universal right?) I specifically looked for the rotary tool with cutting discs because I might cut plastic tubs down to make large litterboxes with low walls that are easier to step into. The only problem is something so cheap is usb charged. Not sure if battery charged, probably. And there’s the risk of either never getting around to it or stressing us both out with noise and/or cutting a finger off. I have cheap safety glasses and ear mufflers but no safety gloves. I would try the tutorial I saw that used a heat gun or a hairdryer to soften before cutting but my hairdryer would die before warming the plastic much and a heat gun is more expensive. Also the heat gun might be more dangerous and the sharp box cutter could slip. I have a mini hacksaw but there’s a chance that the plastic would crack.

    Totally forgot it was St Kilda Fest… Trying to get out of closed off streets… So glad I was not driving. Bit of a cool evening for a ride, but better than nothing. I am Garfield on Mondays and I know it’ll be fine, but I am just not looking forward to tomorrow. I’d started a little morning walk routine, but that was out the window last week due to starting back.

    I also can’t believe we’re halfway through February. I have too much life stuff to do… LOL, yeah, privileged problems… I just really don’t want to adult.

    I finished watching Southland a few days ago and that was a BRUTAL end to a brutal series. I needed a break and as much as I love watching Severence and The Pitt weekly they’re not exactly easy watches…

    So I started A Touch Of Cloth. It’s the perfect antidote. Same era as the last season of Southland but chock full of old school Airplane!-style daggy humour and bucketloads of puns. What a thoroughly silly show 😆 “Natasha rang from the mortuary, says it’s big.” “Yes, I’ve been there before”

    I bought a brand new apple pencil from a pawn shop so I could use it to draw notes on the music sequencer app.

    Charging now. Hopefully it works.

    Also got this cool keyboard that plugs into the ipad

    Did Zero Latency with some friends today. It was a lot more fun than I was expecting. A fun 40k hoard shooter campaign that was pretty enjoyable. I wonder if there’s ever been a Killing Floor game there
