    So I think the friend outing I planned went well. There’s existing cracks there but when we’re all together having a good time, it’s really good.

    Just a note. It’s ok if you are on your own today. Eat the eggs and enjoy.

      I’m feeling a bit bummed spending all 4 days alone, however I sorta don’t mind given the lack of alone time I will have during my 11 day trip and the two days prior.

      With Friday and Monday touching grass full day I in fact need to be alone today to sort out my affairs.

      Plan to just have a quiet one, some video games and then watch the footy today.

    New plan hatched (heh) in terms of buying gifts for people back in the Soup. Because they get nearly everything there (albeit marked up) it can be hard to figure out what to bring back… and I have the perfect idea.

    Discounted fancy Easter choccies! I shall head to Leo’s on Tuesday or Wednesday after work and see if there’s some premium local brands on sale, the kind you won’t get overseas. Monsieur Truffe on discount would be nice.

    So. I’ve been doing some trials with my adhd medication over the last 3 days.

    It appears (testing tomorrow) that I have been taking almost double what I should have been taking.

    I’ll know tomorrow.

    It would explain the anxiety about nothing, the insane tenseness in my whole body amongst other things.

    Guess we’ll see.

    No eggs for me this year :(

    But every easter I remember my old doggo Hecate, a black lab. The first easter after we got her, P’s hid the eggs the night before in the garden, and us kids would woke up to find a whole lot of doggos poo on the lawn with foil in it. She was always gonna find them. She didn’t get sick surprisingly.

    Miss that dog.

      My dog once stole half a block of chocolate off the coffee table. I left the room for 2 minutes and when I returned he was acting really shifty in his bed so I checked it and found it buried in his blankets with 2 squares nibbled out of it.

    I just opened my postal vote envelope and there are way too many options there to deal with at this time of morning. Trying to decide which of the right wing nutter parties to put last will be a challenge. Probably the arse-trumpet party, due to the absolute disgust I feel every time I see one of those awful ads.

    Another Easter weekend spent with the close fam.

    I’m kind of resentful that my kids didn’t grow up with the extended family, just for the gathering experiences.

    But the relos are so toxic, there’s nothing to miss except for a headache and anxiety.

    Also, Severance season 2…what in the fuck am I watching and why can’t I stop watching it.

    source
    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨2⁊ ⁨weeks⁊ ago

      Severance S2 almost feels like a different show that’s for sure.

      I feel you about the tension with family. Sometimes I feel sad I only have one subsection of my family I really can connect with. But I’m glad that I have the option of avoiding so much drama as well. Creating better choices now that I have them…

      source
      • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨2⁊ ⁨weeks⁊ ago

        I’m kind of upset I started this show now. It’s still going and the suspense is gonna get to me 😁

        Yeah families are complicated at times for no real reason.

        We’ve made the choice a while back and gotta deal with it.

    Really hoping that rain promised today eventuates. It’s been so dry recently!

    I’ve ordered a washable electric blanket. I’m going to try and clean the existing one but having something you’re only able to spot clean is a bit grotty to me.

        I took the protector off to wash it and while it was drying something else happened

        source
  • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨2⁊ ⁨weeks⁊ ago

    I knew it, this rain was a total lie - all I ended up with was a car with dried dusty splotches all over! I’m not confident it’ll rain much tomorrow either… it’s so dry out there.

    It took so much effort but I’ve done my most important duties today: cleaned manky kitchen and bathroom, vacuumed disgusting gross carpet, washed and dried some seriously dirty sheets and clothes, put new sheets on, and gave my own oily unwashed hair a good clean. 1.5hr chat with depressed cousin (both of us significantly more cheerful after talking), and a decent dinner later, I’m certainly feeling gruntled.

    This will sound awful but I think I’m just going to frigging go into the office tomorrow and work (and count it as hours for later in the week), because I’m just not in the mood for a 4 day long weekend when I have a LOT to do before Thursday and will be pretty much unavailable for 7 working days after during which time several deadlines will come up.

    I’d rather clear my plate early, and also do it on a day when I will have zero distractions (but good coffee, ergonomics and lighting).

    source
    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨2⁊ ⁨weeks⁊ ago

      I get the work thing. I’ll probably be doing a few hours tomorrow to ease the load that’s coming up.

      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨2⁊ ⁨weeks⁊ ago

        Yeah, it won’t be a full day, just enough to make sure the following days aren’t a total clusterfuck. Thinking about it makes me a tad anxious now so best to get ahead of it…

  • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨2⁊ ⁨weeks⁊ ago

    Feels like I’m being buried by life crap -_-

    The phosphate supplement needed to be ordered in and then the 4 day public holiday hit so I can’t get it until Tuesday. I feel like shit. I should be resting but I need to sort the things that piled up while unwell.

    Scrubbed the bathroom sink out and wiped the mirror so at least they’re clean now. Next I keep working on Mt Washmore, do the dishes in the sink.

    And then keep trying to chip away at the digital clutter. I haven’t been able to deal with it before now due to constant survival mode.

    Next week I have to try and get more antibiotics or somehow get an emergency appointment.
