    What a day! After telling the boss I wouldn’t be able to come in early to beat the heat because I had to get Miniest to school, Miniest refused to attend school because I “woke her up wrong” (!) so I had to leave it to her dad, knowing he’d probably not do it either (it sets off my anxiety in the morning to argue, ruins my day at work and I’ve had my threshold of that shit) and got there earlier anyway. Everyone was like “thank god you’re here!” Worked like a Trojan in the heat and smashed through the work. I think I’m getting used to it, just as the season is about to change lol.

    Then I finished early, discovered Mr P couldn’t take Elder to his appointment due to illness, and bussed home to get him. I only had time to wash my face, replenish my deodorant and change my shirt before we bussed out to his appointment. I felt sticky yucky and itchy! Came home, ordered dinner, put the bins out, reordered as the order was cancelled and tidied up a bit. Mr P had a dental appointment tomorrow but couldn’t remember where because he didn’t write it down, so my MIL and I worked it out. Dispensed her eye drops (she needs nightly eye drops and can’t do it herself; she calls it Eyes on Call, but I’m rather partial to the Royal Eyeing Doctor Service). Talked to the kids about how we’re going to wake up in the morning and who’s getting who to school, with added pep talk and motivational barracking, had a shower and now I’m laying in bed feeling like I forgot something.

      You’ve forgotten to take care of yourself! You’ve been worked to the bone, friend!

      Sending good vibes and thinking of you! Being a mum to 4 other people is hard fucking work!

      source
      • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Thanks mate 🙂 My shower was a longer one than usual and I’m using a nice Avene dry oil spray mist moisturiser stuff which smells lovely and feels (to me anyway) really indulgent🧖🏼‍♀️

    So everyone had a shitty sleep then.

    At least tomorrow looks like a normal day, then a couple more days of this bullshit.

    source
  • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Is anyone else in a shitty mood from the weather?

    source
    • tone212_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Yep, one or two days of warm weather is fine but however many days in a row it’s been now, too much. Hot nights affect me the most. Also, it’s a constant battle to keep my place cool.

      source
    • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Yep. Sweaty, underslept and somewhat aghast at just how dry everything is in the garden, in spite of watering. I want a week of cool cloudy weather with frequent rain. The eucalypts on my nature strip though, they’re putting out a lot of tiny new leaves and shedding scads of bark so maybe they know something we don’t. The garden ants too are building lots of air holes which they usually only do if the weather is wet. I think we’re going to get a change in the weather pretty soon. Can’t wait.

      source
      • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Apparently tomorrow is bringing rain with chance of thunderstorms so I hope it hits us in the inner city!

        source
      • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        I hope you’re right. My body isn’t reacting very well to this.

      Want to send an invoice to the suit that designed (or failed to design) the thermal qualities of this building. No way I should be paying this summer cooling bill on my own.

      source
    • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      It’s been hard to acclimatize this year for sure. I work in a hot environment and expect it to be cooler outside lol. Everyone gets so drained and unmotivated. I want more autumn dammit. I love autumn. Where is that season of mists and mellow fruitfulness?!

    This hill will either make me extremely fit or cause a heart attack

      You could say it’s a hill you’ll die on.

      Don’t worry I already have my coat and I’ll close the door on the way out.

    Turns out if you are almost never in the sun for very long it’s definitely possible to be vitamin D deficient in summer. At least that’s my theory – feeling whiplash at the mood turnaround after resuming supplements a couple of days ago.

    source
    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      The brainrot infects me, I just giggle when I hear “vitamin D deficiency”

      Yes I do, in fact, require more D in my body 😂

      Nah seriously, vitamin D is super important and it’s insane how much better one can feel when that deficiency is taken care of!!

      source
      • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I’m deficient in both :')

        I’m much more likely to overdose on the other kind of D than be deficient… ;)

        No worries. Remember it’s one we can store so you can take a few to catch up without peeing them out or remembering to take them daily.

    Sorry, just an awful day.

    one of the main newspapers I used to read , the washington post, has just gotten so bad I have lost all faith in it. This was the paper that brought down nixon

    now the internets is becoming more insecure, I’m finding it hard to trust

    i just want some real facts i can trust so i can understand the world around me

    and I’m moving house, which is a long term good but a short term pain ,

    i miss my friends overseas so much 😢

    maybe a rest then a cool shower then some me time to refresh myself before I keep at doing stuff

    • anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Hugs. There’s a lot going on in the world, and moving house is very stressful. Hope you have a good night’s sleep and feel better tomorrow

      source
    • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I feel for you mate. When I was younger, moving house was an exciting adventure and opportunity for newness. Now the thought of moving is an ordeal. Also the decline in journalistic standards in many formerly great news bearers is bordering on criminal ineptitude and a bloody disgrace. If it helps, I read AP, Reuters, IA, Guardian Australia on Bluesky, SBS and ABC, Science alert, The Conversation, Crikey Daily, The Shot and Inside Story ( plus The Chaser and The Shovel because a girl’s gotta have fun sometimes). Michael West is also good but frustratingly the stuff I was most interested in was often paywalled and I cannae afford to pay 😔. I’ve found these sources to be generally reliable, with our own ABC disappointingly and sadly being the weakest link here.

    Getting pretty damn bloody over this heat, it’s brutal out there. Drank so much water and barely needed to pee. Gonna need to chug a lot more now as I’m undoubtedly dehydrated.

    Another long day of it tomorrow and then I need to catch up desperately on my desktop work, and then uni desktop work… I’d squeeze some in tonight but between the heat and bad sleep I’m just going to take it easy and try to wind down rather than keep myself up on a screen

    I reckon it was someone on here who recommended Talon to get rid of ants, ages ago. That stuff is magic.

    Last night they were mounting a full-blown invasion of the kitchen. This morning, not a sign of them.

    I slept for around 10.5 to 11 hours last night. Must’ve had quite the sleep debt.

  • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Next door to me is selling up, and they spent the long weekend clearing out the house. Including putting an elderly and derelict vinyl lounge suite out on the footpath, but no-one took it. I’ve just watched a compacting rubbish truck eat the whole lounge suite - impressively loud noises.

    I had a two hour nap and now I don’t know who I am lol

    I had a good sleep. The fan was less than a metre from my head so I think that helped.

    My upholstery supplies have arrived. The foam was very compressed, which made it hard to unpack. Now it’s expanded and is taking up a lot of room.

    What up

    source
  • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I had the strangest dream. I was in a room with people and we were all hooked up to some kind of device.

    We had to have our body temperature lowered to the point of freezing so we could survive what was about to happen. I think we were supposed to phase through the floor.

    We were all sitting on what looked like a kids adventure playground set.

    There was someone with me, someone I cared about (but don’t recognise in real life), she tells me it’s going to be OK and I have to do this.

    I have a lot or trust in this person, maybe even love, but I can’t remember much past this point. I start feeling really cold.

    We had to go through with this. It was a life or death/end of the world scenario. Something bad was going to happen if we didn’t all do this.

    God I love dreams.

  • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I got maybe 2 hours of sleep and now I’m wide awake. Was it the pizza? I don’t know. I’m chugging water to see if it helps.
