    I used to love going to guitar shops. But I get treated like some kind of fucking exhibit.

    No, not every musician in a lanky white dude.

    I don’t complain about racism pretty much ever, but it irks me in this context.

    Went out for dinner last night, got a porterhouse. Some drinks, more drinks at another bar. Aldi beer.

    Then I promptly fell asleep at 11pm.

    It’s fun when my partner’s birthday is within 10 days of mine 😂 he is my best friend, I love how we can make each other laugh.

    I hope everyone has the best day!!

      Sounds like an excellent evening!! How fun is it when your partner is your best friend? Boyo and I were in bed last night, unable to sleep and just talking and laughing about the stupidest stuff, it was excellent (aside from the lack of sleep thing).

    Moved some biggish bits of bluestone yesterday. Feeling that today. 2 more to go. One of them is about 1.5m long 30cm wide and 20cm high. Chuckin’ it in a bluestone slab weight calculator it’s over 250kgs lol.

    Not sure what to do with the big one (or how to move it safely). Tempted to bury it a bit, upright in the middle of the lawn as a sort of a space odyssey monolith thing for no reason.

      I vote for mini-Stonehenge. If you have round poles could you roll it on several of those?

      My brain just does not compute budgeting that way. I budget on my fortnightly pay cycle, with monthly and yearly payments averaged out.

      source
      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁚3⁩ ⁚days⁩ ago

        Same. A fortnight is a fortnight, every bill or estimated bill gets divided into fortnightly payments even if it’s $3 per fortnight. Getting paid 3 times a month makes no difference at all to my accounting/budgeting


        source
      • Taleya@aussie.zone ⁚3⁩ ⁚days⁩ ago

        I just run a spreadsheet. Pay1 on X pay 2 on Y, reoccurring bills all colourcoded in accordance to what pay cycle purview they land in + half a mortgage payment = total for that pay. Subtract ones with PAID next to them from the total for a running idea of how much moneys I need to have before next pay rolls in

        source
    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁚3⁩ ⁚days⁩ ago

      I plotted this out in calendars when I got paid fortnightly as well. It feels good knowing its happening but I wish my bank account felt the difference more

    My psychologist, psychiatrist and someone in my personal life who is not a friend or family member all think I have autism. None of them know each other, and have just told me that coincidentally at the same time. Unfortunately, it would explain a lot. I didn’t even think of it until they said it.

    source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁚3⁩ ⁚days⁩ ago

      Is it true, is it fact based, to what level?

      And what can you do with that information?

      source
      • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁚3⁩ ⁚days⁩ ago

        Based on the questionnaires I filled out, it seems likely, but I haven’t been through the formal diagnostic process.

        It can help me understand myself and put a name to some of the struggles I’ve faced. Also how to deal with them.

    Had an awful nightmare about someone from my past and woke up to see that they’d tried to call me at 3:45am (number is blocked, but it shows in my call log). I sent them a polite email “this makes me very uncomfortable, please stop. Also I’m blocking your email address, so do not reply.” I don’t know if that was the right course of action, but I’m just
 I just don’t want to see their name in my call log any more. They try and call a couple of times a month and I know it’s not for anything and they’ll always just say “it was an accident” or “I saw a bit of news you might be interested in”. Omg just stop.

    They seemed to like the drawn tutorial (with the original video credited of course) so I whacked up part 2 - someone followed them both and posted their results. There you go. I’ve made my first few tutorials and kinda become a teacher to others.

    Now to actually learn how to draw myself and not teach people bad habits đŸ€Ș

    I managed to get another weeks worth of antibiotics which will hold me til I can see my regular gp.

    I feel heavy as lead and like I’ve been beaten by a sack of hammers. The anxiety has been bad today too which can be the low phosphate. The phosphate supplement has to be ordered in and costs $70-ish


    spoiler

    I could have just tried to supplement at home with a dark fizzy drink containing phosphoric acid (ie. Pepsi, coke, root beer or Dr Pepper) but can’t have the caffeine they usually contain. I would have to buy a more expensive syrup online and mix it with generic carbonated water.

Forced back out into site visits when I had other stuff to do and planned everything ahead of time. I am firmly putting my foot down next time.

    I’m going to be extra grumpy from being sleep deprived as well
