  Sigh. You know how there are some people whose company somehow makes you feel more alone? I feel like that’s this person I hung out with this evening… I basically felt like I was her uber driver. I have never liked the fact that she’s 50% of the time on the phone when hanging out with me, in the past it was because I was helping her out with stuff but now I’m kinda done. The last straw was when we were supposed to have fish and chips after the sunset and she said she’d shout me, but then later on when I asked her where she’d like to go she said actually she has cramps and she doesn’t want to eat. I think I’m really ready to let this one fade away (which is sad given I don’t have many other friends but oh well)

  Just enjoying my own f&c at home now, gonna rewatch last week’s The Pitt and then enjoy this week’s.

    I am 100% with you there.

    Yeah, you can just let some friendships go.

    source
  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    So you drove her around and she was supposed to reciprocate with F & C and then ducked out. And she does this all the time?

    not cool and does she do this to her other friends

    because while you are a friend to her she is not a friend to you

    and so many hugs

    I hope the DT can be your internet friends 😘

      I think she’s better with her other friends but tbh… I really don’t have that much in common with her other than some mutual acquaintances from uni. Her likes and personality are totally different from mine. I think I bore her too but I’m not about to be a doormat about it either. Probably better for us both to let things go.

    Literally using you. That’s not a friend.

    source
  • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    That’s really rude if they spent that much time on the phone when they’re hanging out with you.

    Drop them and don’t look back.

    50%? The body language of that just stinks on ice. Time to let go I think too.

    source

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I don’t know if it’s also a young person thing (one of my very few friends more than 2 yrs younger than me) but I will say I always make it a point not to be on my phone when I’ve specifically arranged to be with others - it really saddens me when others don’t reciprocate. Maybe it’s how others feel comfortable around their friends but it doesn’t work for me.

  just got home five minutes ago. Hot. Had half a small eskimo pie, will reheat some curry and veg for dinner. Then make the cat tree and get Ted’s scratching mat. Fix the washing machine. Then I might have that bath.

  I did wash the floors at the old place, cleaned inside all the cupboards and got the scuffs off the walls. Oven isn’t perfect but it’s ok. It looks as good as it can.

  good bye house, it’s where i endured the covid lock down and had a bit of a life at uni and lygon st. 😿 It’s where Bill and Ted came to join my little family. It’s also where I cemented a really good relationship with Miss Seagoon and got to know Young Mr Seagoon very well. 😊

  Lock down drill at MissGod school today. Robot Baby was involved. Luckily it didn’t cry. But what if?

    Lock downs drills have been going on for a long time, even I had them as a kid.

    It doesn’t hurt to go through them as if there’s ever a time when it’s needed your kid will be familiar with the situation and know what to do.

    be interesting to see if they’ve “done enough” in the eyes of the people. Normally I’d say yes they did, but whilst coles and woolies screwing us every time any of us shop there I think labor might be victims of the capitalist system.

• RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I went back to Resource Rescue craft supplies today, with a focus on getting soft fabric and things that can double as packing material for my move. I did manage a decent amount of fleece, and some felt squares that should work well between plates.

  I also ended up with a couple of pieces of fabric that look like the stuff they use to cover bus and train seats - it should work well to re-cover Miss Meows tower which is getting a bit tatty. The blue won’t really match anything else in the house, but you can’t have everything.

  • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Don’t recognise the specific but that does look fairly bus seat. Which is a great advance on RSL floor 😝

  Let me know if someone else wants to do tomorros DT :) I’ve just been doing it because I’m awake at this hour lately. I haven’t been doing it right on midnight, usually 10-20mins after lol.

  I hope everyone has a restful and peaceful night! Sending you all my love and good vibes!

    The exact time of creation is really no issue. If we’re all sleeping good and it happens at 5am then whatever. A bot would be nice, but the last thing I coded was hunt the wumpus in the 90s.

  Three gins worth of cleaning and dancing round the apartment. Need to pass the mop over the floors and do some clothes sorting but mostly done. And I wake up tomorrow to a clean kitchen.

  Here’s an important question that no one asked for.

  Which shoe do you put on first left or right?

  i’m a lefty and put the left first but it just dawned on me it doesn’t make a difference.

  source

  • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I just put them on one at a time. I don’t think I’ve ever even noticed which one first. Will pay attention tomorrow morning.

    source
  • dumblederp@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Left. I’ve got better balance on the right foot. When it comes to the right shoe I’ll’ve fully fired up balance software.

    source
  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Always the left. I like to work from left to right. Same with socks, pants, t-shirts etc. I’m a righty.

    source
  • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Always right shoe first. Not even sure the last time I attempted left first but it seems like it would feel wrong!

    source
  • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’m left then right most of the time.

    source
  • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Left first. I’m right handed but trained myself to be ambi with a mouse which is pretty useful.

    source
  • Pilk@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The real question is whether you put your shoes or your pants on first

      Socks before any other item of clothing

      Boots then corset!

      source
  • underwatermagpies@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Usually left I think. I’m right-handed.

    If they’re shoes with laces, I have an annoying-to-me habit of tying the first in a double knot, then the second one in just a bow. I don’t mean to. It’s annoying when I’m untying them.

    source
  • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Runners - right and then left shoe

    Slip-ons - left then right

    Socks - right then left

    Am right handed

  At the beach with a not particularly close friend for maybe the last truly warm evening… I don’t hate the beach but man, give me a wide open plain or mountain forest or even a treed river bank any day. Something about the gritty sand and seagulls and stuff in the sand and the endless expanse of the water just makes me feel meh.

  It’s cool for people watching when it isn’t too hectic though.

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’m not a beach person. The smell of gum trees is more appealing.

    source

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Same! I’m not a fan of beach scents in general

  What a shitty week. Work finally done, going to go for a walk to soak up the last of the warmth. Then I need to make my chocolate pie for a friends dinner tomorrow, will have a beer during to make it more fun. THEN I can relax.

    • tone212_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I made it for a new year party and it was a hit! So going to impress different friends with it.

      Here’s the recipe I use. I don’t bother with the cream topping for a pie I need to transport and want to make the day before eating, and it’s still very nice without it. But I’d do it for a home pie. And there’s usually some leftover cream filling you can eat on its own.

      Last time I did a biscoff base instead of Oreo like the recipe calls for, this time I’ll try the Oreo.

  Pet peeve: I loathe when people say “men and females”.

  “Males and females/females and males” is fine.
  “Men and women/women and men” also fine.
  “Guys, gals, and non-binary pals” also fine, and it rhymes!

  Females when using men in the same sentence is fucking gross and icky.

  Over the hump of being drained of all energy, which is nice, but lizard brain really wants to have a drink this weekend. We’ll see.

  Hoping for a swim after work if it’s not too nasty, since it’ll be the last warm day for a while. Been 2 weeks since my last date with the paddleboard and I miss it sorely!

  Oh man, it’s the evening for the blues. Today’s episode of The Pitt unsurprisingly hit so hard. Doesn’t matter that what happened was telegraphed a mile away, Noah Wyle’s acting in that last minute fucking destroyed me. Had a big ugly cathartic cry and still tearing up over it. While also just overwhelmed by the competency porn. Y’all really need to watch this show (with several boxes of tissues). Best medical show ever

  Day of today. My stupid preorder of a game didn’t come in, have to wait till Thursday now.

  I’m fed, had coffee. Washing in progress and air con is on.

  Also my recycle bin wasn’t emptied today so had to arrange for another pick up, hopefully done today or else Monday.

  Happily been munching on lollies. Need to stop.
