Woke up with a raging headache. Had a lil spew, some ibuprofen, my anti-sads, and some plain bread.
I slept from like ~8pm to ~11am, and I must have slept like an crooked croissant again.
I’m starting to feel normal again.
And hello Yarrabyte! Love the name! And I look forward to your basking in you bot-presence!

Guy next to me in the laundromat just discovered his airpods in the dryer while taking his nice, dry clothes out. RIP.
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Apple, our shelter and our strength, you listen in love to the cry of your people: hear the prayers we offer for our departed airpods, right and left. Cleanse them of the laundry water and grant them the dryness of hairdryers. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Forgive me DT & especially Bottom_racer for I have apparently lied to you all.
It turns out that when putting my shoes on, I do in fact go left first when sitting down. It’s only when standing up do I go right first.
Please accept this apology and I appreciate your understanding.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Please accept this apology
To the contrary I feel vindicated and less lonely.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Thank you for setting things… right
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 6 days ago
This morning I paid attention for once and found I put my shoes on right foot first. Not sure if I do that all the time tho. Am more right handed than left (it’s complicated).
Duenan@aussie.zone 6 days ago
An offering of food must be made as an apology.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 6 days ago
I paid attention this morning and realised I do right first, not left. Sorry DT, I lied too.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 5 days ago
What did I miss, we have a bot now? Awesome stuff! Thankyou to whoever used their clever know how! Today was a bit of a nothing day for me. Have lots of chores to do this weekend but have done none so far. I guess I’ll have to cram it in tomorrow, but yeah that’s probably just wishful thinking. Then I’ll feel annoyed at myself and sad for not planning better and being more motivated. In the evening I have dinner at partners friends place, not super keen on going but feel obligated, which will round off my bleh feelings for the day. So that’s my Sunday sorted.

Just finished watching adolescence. Faark. That was amazing but … Faark.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 5 days ago
It was quite the journey. And the camera work was amazing

I don’t care for Lord of the Rings. I said it. I’m a pariah with a capital P.😔
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Same. Also game of thrones can bugger off.
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 days ago
How dare you even utter GoT in the same post as LotR 😭 you keep that lame ass show out of your comments; GoT SUCKS
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 days ago
That’s okay! Because the Lord of the Rings cares about you!
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Parkrun PB in sunny Lalor this morning. Quite happy with that actually. Now at the stage where I’m enjoying running rather than feeling like it’s a punishment.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Good morning YarraByte. Are you here to supervise?
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Brunch chess and coffee with friend soon, then nothing else all weekend. PERFECT!
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 6 days ago
I have to start thinking about dinner - do I do finches & chimps or unfreeze something?
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Chippies chippies chippies
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 6 days ago
You’ve convinced me. A voiture! (e-bike)

Frogs and clogs! Frogs and clogs!
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Oh my bedroom was dusty 🫣 but now de-feraled, clothes away. Floors done. Dusted. Bathroom spruced. Gonna have a shower and give that a wipe down while I am in there. Not perfect but feel like I am back on an even keel cleaning wise.
Nearly time to crack a beer I reckon
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Crack it I dare you
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 6 days ago
🍻 Done
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 6 days ago
I crashed out after my walk. Now I must arise again.

There’s a clip of Tolkien himself reading the Pellenor Fields scene, and it is 👌
bacon@aussie.zone 6 days ago
it is noon
i should get up and go to work
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Hey hey, I’m off to the gym
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 6 days ago
I went even though I really wasn’t feeling it this morning. Now I can sit back with a pot of tea and feel virtuous all morning.

Nice, the bot is working. I was trying to make one but got stuck in permissions hell with Docker
briongloid@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I usually add docker as a sudo user.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I’ll try that. I’ve added users to the docker group but that hasn’t worked
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Sky dark. Pavement wet.

I found the cockatoo feather. It was half eaten and put into my jeans.

Washing done ✅
Risotto made and ready to be portioned ✅
Dishwasher unstacked ✅

My migraines occur due to a shoulder imbalance. My right shoulder raises up (like a shrug that’s stuck) and rolls forwards.
I asked chatgpt to give me some ideas on how to deal with it.
It gave me some exercises. I did 2 of them. The pain reduced significantly.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 days ago
You’re on this. You are super aware of your body and that counts for a lot.
and rest up , hugs
dumblederp@aussie.zone 6 days ago
If Dandenong rehearsals are a regular thing you can swing by my place and I’ll have a look at it. I was no good at the business of myotherapy but I was good at the myo part.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 days ago
That’s incredibly kind of you!
I head there twice a week one day is on a Saturday.
I’ll PM you my details. I would be more than happy to pay for your time :)
dumblederp@aussie.zone 6 days ago
There’s a series of orthopeadic tests call upper limb tension tests (1-4) designed to target different nerves. Most of them involve winding your arm up in a certain position which will put a stretch on the nerve then moving your head away from it (either rotation or lateral flexion depending on the test). Brachial nerve flossing would be along the lines of loading up the arm then doing small pain free motions of your head in the recommended direction to gently tug at the nerve freeing it up and hopefully helping with your issue.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 days ago
I’ll read up more about it today and give it a go.
Honestly, I was shocked the chatgpt exercises didn’t make it worse lol

Whatever shoe is closest, I reckon, but it’s always sock sock shoe shoe
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Gym accomplished.
I require sustenance, and then will embark on a day of domesticity. I have
- washing to do
- dishwasher to unstack, then reload and run as needed through day
- mushroom risotto to make. Some for the week, some for the freezer
- Thai basil chicken stir fry to make. Some for the week, some for the freezer
- pots, airfryer components, knives chopping boards etc to scrub, disinfect and give suitable TLC.
- Chook’s cage to clean and rearrange
- Cockroach baits to put down. I do not, as far as I know, have cockroaches…but someone else on my floor does. Proactive de-roaching?
It will be productive, but the nice/chill kind of productive
dumblederp@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Everyone has roaches, they might not know it but they’re there.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Treat yo’self when done I reckon. That’s a full day’s work.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Car hunting is not going well. I tried to make an enquiry and the car sales website decided to block me for “suspicious behaviour”. There does not seem to be any options to get around it. WTF sort of business does that?
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 6 days ago
I have arisen. Wattle birds are fighting over prime spot in the big gum tree. Might go walk down to the water before Marge gets here
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 6 days ago
I have Andouille sausage, smoked Kransky, and eye fillet. I guess it’s meat night.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Bunnings trip accomplished. The snags at Fairfield were particularly good today - tender and juicy and full flavoured. Bunnings was, well, Bunnings. I have a feeling that that store is running down it’s stock - or maybe is waiting on delivery from China etc. Distinctly empty shelves. Does anyone know when it’s closing down in favor of the East Preston/Reservoir one?
Duenan@aussie.zone 6 days ago
There’s some stuff I buy on a regular basis at Bunnings but they’ve been out of stock for the last month as well :(
just_kitten@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Noooo. They better not close the Fairfield Bunnings. It’s my favourite - tends to actually have things in stock when the website says they do, unlike the Preston, Hawthorn and Collingwood ones. And the staff seem to be more chilled out and happy. Also agree the Preston one is a bitch to get in and out of.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 6 days ago
The Darebin Rd one? That’s annoying if they close it, I like it much better than the new Preston one which is a big pain to get in and out of, even though it’s closer to me.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 days ago
There were a lot of pumpkin blossoms this morning. I’ve pollinated the open female flowers and have a total of four now.
I need to look more carefully though. Was moving a flower aside to see if any more females were budding underneath and then realised my hand was like an inch away from the bee inside it. 😨Luckily I didn’t end up needing the epi pen.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 days ago
also, had a little cry, i have my own workroom now, a place to have a desk and some privacy . I needed that more than anything.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Are you an early morning beach person or a late evening beach person? I just love the beach in the early morning - everything is so fresh. Later on just isn’t the same.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Noooo!
All about the sunset swim.
It’s when sharks feed or you drown because no one else is there.
It’s very calming.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 days ago
early is best 🙂
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Honestly when you go the beach is one of the best escapes :)
