All day I’ve been under the blankets shivering.
I threw up so hard before that my thumbs locked up and I couldn’t move my hands for 15 minutes.
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

Sounds like an awful bug you’ve got.
Hope you feel better soon.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 11 hours ago
That doesn’t sound good. Try and get some electrolytes and fluids in if you can.
If your hands locking up are related and you can’t keep anything down you might need to go in for iv fluids

Motivation was 0 today but I vacuumed and mopped, dusted, cleaned surfaces, cleaned bathroom, changed the sheets and washed the old sheets. My house really needed the reset.
No way I’m cooking after all that so out for a souvo & beer.

Health
I’ve gone back to constantly being in a lot of pain and struggling with intake as a result. Getting really dehydrated again and once more finding it hard to move. I don’t want to go back to how sick I used to be -_-

Here’s your Saturday night reminder that music is meant to be listened to LOUD.

Absolutely glorious morning for it.
Now a glorious afternoon for wine and cheese in the courtyard!

Had the funniest interaction before.
Saw someone I thought I knew.
He waved back.
Came to chat and I realised I didn’t know him, but he thought he knew me.
Ended up having this sort of funny “how you been bro!” conversation.
Then said our goodbyes and walked off.
I wonder if he realised he didn’t know me either hahaha
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 15 hours ago
OMG I’ve had that with someone before! I was out walking and walking towards me was a guy who looked like the brother of the guy I’d just recently (at the time) broken up with. Having no beef with the bro I thought I’d be civil and say hello. We were both wearing sunglasses and he enthusiastically said hello as well, then we both took off our sunglasses and discovered that neither of us were who the other thought we were lol. We both just couldn’t believe it, it was so weird and random.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
I didn’t know what to do so I just kept it going to see what would happen lol
He was a real nice guy haha
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 11 hours ago
Time to zonk out with some video games and cat antics :)

Finally some air movement outside. Have opened up the house to let the breezes through. Not exactly cool, but the fresh air is welcome.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 19 hours ago
off to take potplants to new house then off to beach 🙂

Been trying to fix my partner’s PC. His motherboard keeps giving a 9C error code or gets stuck on that code - which apparently means a usb issue? It happens even when all USBs have been unplugged.
So I swapped the mobo for another one, took me a bit unscrewing the fan and GPU in the way, and unplugging all the bits from the mobo, rearranging the screws on the case so the new (smaller) one fits, got it all back together and turned it on, but it keeps powering off and on.
I forgot to put the CPU in it… 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I forgot the bloody brains!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 15 hours ago
I’m having a coffee before I do that
lol after all that I find wine helps seat the cpu, gives a steady hand for the thermal goo and hitting your hand against your forehead hurts less. :)
StudChud@aussie.zone 15 hours ago
I was stupid haha it had a CPU! I just forgot to install the sdd to the mobo!
ITS WORKING NOW I AM A GOD A SHINY GOLDEN GOD
Duenan@aussie.zone 14 hours ago
Accidentally took a nap and slept for nearly 4 hours, oops!
At least my headache is mostly gone and I’ll have dinner up and running pretty soon.
Plans for tonight will be to finish watching this last game of footy and then on to Severance and The Rookie.
It’s still disgustingly warm outside, yuck.
sharetload@aussie.zone 11 hours ago
and The Rookie.
……Mason??
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
The uber driver asking me where to go when he has 2 maps open doesn’t exactly build a sense of trust.
In other news, found a Zoia fairly cheap on marketplace and am picking it up Monday!!!
Eventide is still on layby and I have 3 months to pay it off, so I’ll just throw a few bucks at it every pay and grab it down the track.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
ooh nice!

I have spent way too long comparing the prices and qualities of moving boxes. I think Storage King is winning so far. Now I have to try to figure out how many boxes and what size I need. It would nice to be rich enough to afford a full packing service.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 14 hours ago
When I moved last I think I ended up going with Bunning boxes. I remember storage king were cheap too but Bunnings were nearby.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
Storage King are a bit cheaper and do free delivery over $150. Bunnings were 2nd place.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
Eco-crate and other hard crate rentable boxes are another option.
Kent sells great boxes too - 30 multipak will do most of a regular 3br. Reader paks if you have a lot of books / paper.

Happy 18th birthday Baku. If ya lurking you should come back. I hope your social work course is going well. With the above average struggles you’ve faced I’m sure you’ll make a great people’s advocate.
Baku@sh.itjust.works 19 hours ago
Cheers dumble, and everyone else who’s dropped well wishes in. And low for passing the link along. Truly appreciated
I had my wisdom teeth removed 3 days ago, and as part of the healing process I can’t drink, or have a slice of cake. And the pain meds have left me too tired to go anywhere or catch up with anyone
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Me too. Happy Birthday Baku! It’s a big milestone but you got this.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Happy birthday to Baku wherever he is. I miss his comments and insights. Truly an outstanding young man. 🛤️
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
i miss him too. Was just thinking yesterday how he was such a good presence here on the DT.
I hope he is doing well. I want nothing but success and happiness for him.

back from new house, spent very little time there, no beach or chips, but did meet a nice neighbour
it’s a very small suburb
SituationCake@aussie.zone 12 hours ago
Just walked into the house after spending the afternoon and evening out. It’s an oven. Cooling on now, but still too hot to sleep. Wish the rain would hurry up and arrive.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
Went out last night for a friend’s birthday to a nightclub at her request. Got lots of comments on how short I was. I love how people are so quick to make comments about my appearance.
My bed > dancing to music in my room with no one watching > bars with dance floors
Big gap
Clubs

Huh, Bowens is going up a couple of blocks away. That’s handy.
DolphinLundgrin@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
I’ll take anything but Bunnings!
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 17 hours ago
Well there’s a few issues with Bunnings. What’s yours in particular?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
woke up with head ache
spose i better have some aspirin
Duenan@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
Just reminded me to take something as well.
got a slight one too
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 17 hours ago
Footy in one and a half hours. Bring it
Duenan@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
Looking good tonight. Better than last week.
My cats won so I’m happy too!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
Ugh, the downside of nice fresh clean sheets is it’s so tempting to spend aaaall day in them. I told myself I was having the day off but I really need someone get me out of bed to cook these eggplants

Here’s the issue with digital music gear:
Firmware updates!!!
I saw an amp I’ve been dying to get on marketplace today. It’s the same model as my existing (which I absolutely love) just in a head and stack config
Fucked around for ages to get it to work with the helix board and what was the issue in the end? Needed a fucking firmware update.
Updating now and hoping for the best!

In 9 days I have packed 35 boxes. That is not too bad.

With love, I’ve worked with professionals packers, they’d pack a 3br house in a few hours.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I’ve had packers and they are def fast and if I recall my super expensive unopened golden tequila disappeared!!
also sore back and skiving

Have had a productive day reorganising and cleaning the kitchen and especially the messy herb and spice storage situation, tackling Mount Washmore, a bit of shopping, lunch out with Miniest (Elder didn’t feel like going out). Have got a hidden veg Bolognese on and everyone is climbing the walls going “When is it ready? When is it ready?”

Missed out on some DnB / jungle music tix but the place is basically corner of flinders st. / elizabeth st. which I’m happy to avoid no loss there.
INSTEAD!
There’s a free techno / breaks day park party (until 10pm) which is tempting. Just near La trobe uni. Looks like there’ll be a fair few peeps going. Seems like a more sensible option. Probably a more fun crowd too.
Also just got off the phone to the ol’ girl and she is really pushing hard to jump back behind the wheel again. She’s been told that it’s too risky by every doc she’s seen, and her friends have said the same thing to her. She doesn’t seem to grasp how much of a risk it is. Breaks my heart to keep telling her no.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
Dude I was just thinking about you and your mum recently as my mum’s cataract surgery lens thingo is coming loose and she’s booked in for a surgery in 2 months time, but we’re all pleading with her to go private (she has insurance that us kids pay for), and get it done faster because she lives alone and she’s had a couple of small falls… not only would the lens come out and she’d need urgent surgery (assuming she stays conscious) I’m so worried about the risk of more permanent vision impairment.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
Oh no your poor mum. So many unexpected things happened with mine over the last few months, defs keep trying to persaude her to do it asap. Crazy how a fall can change things so quickly and how complex things can get.
tone212_@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
Was thinking another beach day to round out summer but the current temp in Geelong is 23.9 whereas it’s 34.7 at Essendon Airport. That’s a wild difference.
