I am in trouble. Bill has had fresh meat 3 days in a row. He was disgusted to get it again and is demanding that delicious dinner with gravy that comes in pouched. h even shows me where the pouches are,

Another Easter weekend spent with the close fam.
Iām kind of resentful that my kids didnāt grow up with the extended family, just for the gathering experiences.
But the relos are so toxic, thereās nothing to miss except for a headache and anxiety.
Also, Severance season 2ā¦what in the fuck am I watching and why canāt I stop watching it.
just_kitten@aussie.zone āØ9ā© āØhoursā© ago
Severance S2 almost feels like a different show thatās 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 Iām glad that I have the option of avoiding so much drama as well. Creating better choices now that I have themā¦
MeanElevator@aussie.zone āØ8ā© āØhoursā© ago
Iām kind of upset I started this show now. Itās still going and the suspense is gonna get to me š
Yeah families are complicated at times for no real reason.
Weāve made the choice a while back and gotta deal with it.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone āØ10ā© āØhoursā© ago
Got the boys up to NSW to see the family today. It was a bloody long drive but we did it
Seagoon_@aussie.zone āØ10ā© āØhoursā© ago
Thatās great. š

Going through some old shit.
Hereās an original propaganda pamphlet dropped from ze germans from me old grandfathers days when serving in Tobruk 1941 (!).
Also have āclassifiedā maps. I had no Idea the olā boy kept those until today.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone āØ13ā© āØhoursā© ago
The War Museum in Canberra might like those. Or the Mitchell Library.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone āØ9ā© āØhoursā© ago
Theyāre all going to a museum.
I just couldnāt believe what I was seeing.
just_kitten@aussie.zone āØ18ā© āØhoursā© ago
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 Leoās on Tuesday or Wednesday after work and see if thereās some premium local brands on sale, the kind you wonāt get overseas. Monsieur Truffe on discount would be nice.
bacon@aussie.zone āØ10ā© āØhoursā© ago
okay rinsed and risen

Chicken wings cooked. Canāt wait to eat, resting for a couple mins then Iāll dig in.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone āØ22ā© āØhoursā© ago
Just a note. Itās ok if you are on your own today. Eat the eggs and enjoy.
just_kitten@aussie.zone āØ20ā© āØhoursā© ago
Iām feeling a bit bummed spending all 4 days alone, however I sorta donāt mind given the lack of alone time I will have during my 11 day trip and the two days prior.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone āØ18ā© āØhoursā© ago
I hear you. But sometimes a bit of peace is nice :)
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone āØ22ā© āØhoursā© ago
Cheers :)
Iāve got hot cross buns, a fluffy cat and still feeling good from speaking to my friends last night ā¤ļø
bacon@aussie.zone āØ22ā© āØhoursā© ago
With Friday and Monday touching grass full day I in fact need to be alone today to sort out my affairs.
Duenan@aussie.zone āØ21ā© āØhoursā© ago
Plan to just have a quiet one, some video games and then watch the footy today.
Coffee and food being prepared now.
Catfish@aussie.zone āØ19ā© āØhoursā© ago
Cleaning up old photos. This one is near perfect.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone āØ19ā© āØhoursā© ago
Is that a shoe on the table? š” Apart from that very cute š
Duenan@aussie.zone āØ19ā© āØhoursā© ago
I like your tastes in books, especially the fantasy stuff.
Catfish@aussie.zone āØ19ā© āØhoursā© ago
Well MZB can get in a bin (I didnāt know at that point) but thanks šŗ
Seagoon_@aussie.zone āØ19ā© āØhoursā© ago
Nice. Nice socks and nice books šš§¦šš

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, Pās 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 didnāt get sick surprisingly.
Miss that dog.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone āØ19ā© āØhoursā© ago
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.
Catfish@aussie.zone āØ19ā© āØhoursā© ago
I had a childhood cat demolish an Easter choc basket. Also miraculously seemingly unharmed. Bloody rascals.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone āØ12ā© āØhoursā© ago
Iāve ordered a washable electric blanket. Iām going to try and clean the existing one but having something youāre only able to spot clean is a bit grotty to me.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone āØ10ā© āØhoursā© ago
I always had mine under the mattress protector
melbaboutown@aussie.zone āØ9ā© āØhoursā© ago
I took the protector off to wash it and while it was drying something else happened
Seagoon_@aussie.zone āØ17ā© āØhoursā© ago
SituationCake@aussie.zone āØ16ā© āØhoursā© ago
Why no rain. Garden is parched I was looking forward to rain.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone āØ15ā© āØhoursā© ago
Because I hung clothes on the clothes horse inside instead of outside on the line. Sorry.
SituationCake@aussie.zone āØ14ā© āØhoursā© ago
Found the reason.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone āØ15ā© āØhoursā© ago

I knew it, this rain was a total lie - all I ended up with was a car with dried dusty splotches all over! Iām not confident itāll rain much tomorrow either⦠itās so dry out there.
It took so much effort but Iāve 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, Iām certainly feeling gruntled.
This will sound awful but I think Iām just going to frigging go into the office tomorrow and work (and count it as hours for later in the week), because Iām 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.
Iād rather clear my plate early, and also do it on a day when I will have zero distractions (but good coffee, ergonomics and lighting).
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone āØ13ā© āØhoursā© ago
I get the work thing. Iāll probably be doing a few hours tomorrow to ease the load thatās coming up.
just_kitten@aussie.zone āØ12ā© āØhoursā© ago
Yeah, it wonāt be a full day, just enough to make sure the following days arenāt a total clusterfuck. Thinking about it makes me a tad anxious now so best to get ahead of itā¦
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone āØ18ā© āØhoursā© ago
Come on rain!!!
In other news, Iāve effectively done nothing the last 2 days except nap, eat, play and cuddle Fluffball.
Perfection.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone āØ10ā© āØhoursā© ago
yay, finally finished housework for today
thatās what happens when I sleep in
melbaboutown@aussie.zone āØ15ā© āØhoursā© ago
Feels like Iām being buried by life crap -_-
The phosphate supplement needed to be ordered in and then the 4 day public holiday hit so I canāt 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 theyāre 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 havenāt 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.

So I think the friend outing I planned went well. Thereās existing cracks there but when weāre all together having a good time, itās really good.

3rd load of dishes done
now for a walk at the beach and then home to clean that vintage furniture set
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone āØ22ā© āØhoursā© ago
Shopping done, breakfast and decaf consumed. Hello bed.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone āØ14ā© āØhoursā© ago
Iāve sorted out the gross sinks, used drain cleaner, and rinsed inside the end of the hose outlet. But due to having standing water the dishwasher pipe still smells.
Iām going to have to scrub that out properly at some point because when I have the ability to deal with it all I intend to sell the dishwasher.
Dirty bench is next.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone āØ1ā© āØdayā© ago
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.
SituationCake@aussie.zone āØ1ā© āØdayā© ago
Thereās exceptionally strong competition for bottom of the ballot.
Catfish@aussie.zone āØ1ā© āØdayā© ago
Once upon a time the arse trumpets were at lease amusing

Letās get Australia back on cack
Duenan@aussie.zone āØ21ā© āØhoursā© ago
I just saw another one of their ads today. It was just all talking and went on forever, I actually muted the sound because it was going on forever so long, canāt stand them.
bacon@aussie.zone āØ23ā© āØhoursā© ago
saw a rainbow

Easter party 2 doors down w/ heaps of kids.
Neighbour has 2 dogs going off at the noise. I start digging out a tree on the boundary and one of the doggos starts going off at me.
Youāre not going to win a war w/ 2 fronts doggo. Learn your history.
just_kitten@aussie.zone āØ23ā© āØhoursā© ago
Really hoping that rain promised today eventuates. Itās been so dry recently!
Last two days saw me sink into disgusting goblin mode just eating and scrolling and watching tv without really enjoying any of it. Today I shall vanquish all the chores, wash my greasy hair, and start packing.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone āØ22ā© āØhoursā© ago
I went for a walk to the shops earlier in my gym stuff and got fucked on by the rain lol

too much choc and cheese makes š„“

So. Iāve 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.
Iāll know tomorrow.
It would explain the anxiety about nothing, the insane tenseness in my whole body amongst other things.
Guess weāll see.
Catfish@aussie.zone āØ1ā© āØhourā© ago
I had that happen with thyroid meds. Near constant edge of panic attack jitters. Blood test said halve the dose!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone āØ11ā© āØminutesā© ago
I just canāt believe Iāve been putting up with this, thinking āwell, I guess thatās the cost of clarityā for the last 5 frikkin years!!!
