      STRONG recommend sipping a coffee by the beach and staring off into the distance. very therapeutic.

    Good to be back down the bellarine for a bit.

    Main water leak down here fixed… but… rocked up to another leak in the shower lol. Fixed that then the laundry sink taps decided they’d join the party.

    Fixed now but honestly water wins. I concede.

    Local Colesworth had all sorts of cheesecakes reduced to clear… lemon curd, french style, triple berries, caramel biscuit crumb and passionfruit pavlova dessert. I bought one of each and my greedy ass regrets nothing 🤤 Happy early mother’s day fat ass 🤣

      Thanks for the heads up. I fucking love cheesecake.

        It’s just about my favourite thing! I’d be hard pressed to choose between cheesecake and tiramisu. I adore them both.

      Calcium intake is important as we age, as is fruit. Add the base and you’ve got three food groups covered so it’s all part of a balanced diet m!

    Saw a really bad car accident on my way home.

    It happened on Hotham street close to the Nepean highway end.

    A suv on its side all smashed up badly, I think someone was trapped inside.

    Ambos only just got there as I passed by it, police and 2 fire trucks were on the way there.

    Hope whoever is was is ok and didn’t get Injured by the accident.

    My head is an awful place today, so I got an ice cream. Not sure how that was going to help, but it was delicious.

    source
    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Being delicious = a win.

      source
      • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        It wasn’t the ice cream I wanted (Magnum Ego), but it was a Connoisseur vanilla caramel brownie, so certainly a close runner up!

        source
    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      It might not have helped but it didn’t not help either.

      I’m sure your day got slightly brighter after the ice cream.

        It did and had a nice interaction with buying it! Makes a difference.

    Finally cooked stir fry Hokies noodles and washed up. Now eating.

    Have dinner for at least 2 or 3 more days of meals all sorted.

    Pars, ham, onions, random assorted sauces and noodles = yum yum

    Few days off so heading down the bellarine.

    Last few months has caught up w/ me so looking forward to some mindless garden things. Oxalis will be going off so will attack that (and lose). Sometimes in life it’s easy to feel defeated, oxalis is there to remind us all that no, you will not win them all. The great leveller.

      Best use for my apple watch, no lie. I put the water on the tea and say “ten minutes” to the watch and it reminds me and I no longer have cold, oversteeped tea.

      also useful for reminding me to check random tasks.

    My parents were saying they took a mystery flight interstate back in the day. They ended up in Sydney, but still, it seems like they lived quite a bit back in the day. My mum hasn’t been outside of Victoria in over ten years and says she’s used to having no holidays. I wish I could surprise them with a holiday.

    hits delivery man with a stick WHAR PAKIGE

    I need them parts to put in the overflow diverter for my tanksies! So I can overflow them into other tanksies! And then pump that into a huge tanksie! Except when I don’t want to, then it all goes to stormwater

    source
    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      My pakige has been taken to the post office. This is possibly an indication that my front porch was already full, so I am prepared for getting in the front door to be a bit of a challenge again tonight.

      Hopefully your overflow diverter is not diverted and you can overflow at will shortly.

    Just witnessed what is - to me - a new ticket inspector tactic. Three of them got on in the free tram zone, didn’t do anything for a few stops outside the free tram zone, then at a stop where a fair few people were getting off - they also got off, and used their bodies to block the exit of the tram stop, physically preventing some people who were trying to get past, to check their tickets.

        As far as I understand, actually being a dumbass is essential to pass the interview process to be an authorised officer; banging two sticks together, using their body to block people on ptv, and trying to put the square block in the round hole is dumbass behaviour.

    Too frazzled and flustered to get my promised salmon. I can’t handle any more changes of environment after psych session. I feel sensitive to every possible thing that could go wrong. I found a fix to something I urgently need to do at work. Now I’m stuck in a BSOD boot loop… Joy… the error message is CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED which sounds somewhat apt.

      Farrk I’m so sorry Kitten, that sucks balls. Totally get ya on the post-psych sensitivity ugh.

      I know it’s all nuts right now, and you’re feeling crappy, just make sure to set aside some self care time and treat yourself 💜💜 sending you my good vibes

      source
      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        I think it was just like normal sensitivity that got ramped up to extra after psych (I got some good stuff off my chest but also brought up some tense stuff).

        I did have a moment of calming tf down on the drive back where I squeezed in a moment of observing my emotions with warmth “ah, there’s the wound up toy!” and it’s made a huge difference. but no more taxing the brain for tonight

      I third the hugs.

      it can be a comfort to do something or have something that is very familiar, fave tv show, movie, fave food,

      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Thank you 💓 I pushed on with another hour of discomfort to resolve the urgent work issue I was gonna do on my work laptop, by doing it on my personal one instead (at least I worked out the bug and reported it so I feel a sense of closure and satisfaction).

        Now it is time for comfort food and tv show. and maybe I’ll call/message my aunt who is with my mum. My work laptop is fubar atm so I think of it as a sign from the universe to just stop.

    Question for the parents or any teachers/child cares in the group: Tinyest turned 2 last month and had his MCH nurse appointment. they asked us to think about school.

    Sketchy maths and schooling questions

    Since he will be 5 in April 2028 he could start school then. if so we’d want to do 3 year old and 4 year old kinder starting next year. But we can delay him, start in '29 instead, just because he would be VERY young. Not sure whats “best” here. If school is 13 years (assuming no repeats) if he starts in '28 he’d be 18 when he is in year 12? Or in '29 he’d be 19 in year 12, therefore 18 in year 11… Lots of responsibility in the decision making here (especially for someone who still thinks a goat says “baaa”). And I just dont think I’ve got enough data to make an informed choice.

    I’m so enthralled by the mushroom lady’s case. Using the different coloured plates to hers is sooo suss. But I don’t know, all this evidence so far reported seems circumstantial.
