  Melbcat came over to a guest for pats and tried to get up in their lap! She needed to be lifted up but then jumped up into the empty chair again after.

  I didn’t think she was interested in getting up there anymore but maybe now I need to get a pet ramp and even buy a comfier (destroyable) chair for her.

  One of the boys had a fever and had to be picked up from childcare early on Monday. This resulted in the week up until now just being a fog of Trying To Get Things Done. Things are somewhat back to normal so we’ll see how things play out.

  I got Bazzite working on the old work laptop. Silly me didn’t disable Secure Boot. It loads straight into Steam Big Picture on startup, so I wouldn’t use this version as my daily driver, but it would be great for handhelds and loungeroom PCs.

  Also, Sleep Token have dropped a new album. I know some people on here dig them. I’m listening to it now.

  I’m all set up for getting in the house to be on hard mode again tonight - a few pieces of furniture, a floor lamp and a dog door insert are all waiting for me. I think it will mostly need to be carried straight back out the van so I can take it up to Ballarat, I don’t really have room in the house.

  got nearly a full packet of those tiny aldi chocolate chips that are stale and soggy. Surely I can do something to turn them into some muffins or a cake or something?

  source

  • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

    Microwave mug cakes. I’d suggest hot chocolate or something to use it faster but choc chips are designed to hold their shape and don’t melt well

  Finally figured out why I don’t feel like I fit in, in the role.

  I’m the only guy here who does not wear RM Williams boots.

  I swear it’s like a uniform.

  Boots must really help when trying to herd emails or if an errant teams message hopped a fence.

    Turn up in RMs AND moleskin pants and one-up them severely

    source
  • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨34⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

    Surely they go the RMs because they’re one of the few brands that still use Goodyear welts on the soles so you can replace them. Not any fake poser reasons at all, surely…

    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨14⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      Gotta be the main reason. That, and only that.

  Belated thanks to our local Witch for the motivation brew. It’s taken a while to kick in for me as it usually is, but here I am finally sat in the uni library with a blank Word document open! And a tab open to ChatGPT where I’m about to explain what my project is about and to please help break me out of my stupid block to just start writing.

  Am listening to Mushroom Case daily.

  Anyone got an equivalent podcast for the Diddy trial? Stuck at home for a while, need trashy entertainment…

  source

  • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The Trial of Diddy perhaps?

    Haven’t listened to it, but it came up on the search 😁

    The Case Against podcasts might be good yoo

  There’s a couple of projects happening near my train station so the carparks are filled with trades. Had to park a bit further than usual and missed my regular train by like a minute.

  I don’t know these new train people. They’re not my regulars!!!

  Spent the entire ride judging them so hard.

  6:30 Train people for ever!!!

  6:37 Train people might as well be sewer mutants!

  Swam for the first time in a long tome monday. Can I go again today or should I give it another rest day?

  source

  • dumblederp@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I vote tomorrow. Twice a week is plenty for returning to exercise.

    source

    • TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      yeah can always go friday I guess. Gives it a bit longer recovery.

    How do you feel? I vote go again unless you’re feeling particularly wrecked, in which case I still say go again but take it easy, just enough to move!

    been assessed for sleep apnea? a couple of mates said their diagnosis changed their lives.

    so many hugs

    may I suggest a diary so you can see any patterns during the day that might be contributing to such bad sleep

    source

    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I might give that a go.

      I have one last possibility I can’t test until the weekend. If it’s not that then I’m at a loss.

      I can’t believe I’ve been functioning for almost a year without a full night’s sleep the entire time.

  It appears it’s been long enough since I used a meal delivery service that I’m eligible for the free boxes again. I’ve ordered a few to make it a bit easier to juggle packing etc. over the next few weeks. Then when I’ve moved I’ll have a shiny new address and should be eligible for more free boxes there. This will soothe the aggravation I felt after paying for a box and then receiving coupons for free boxes to give to everyone else.

  Tea really aint cutting it. Do I double down and grab another or do I just jump straight to coffee?

      I’m STILL craving a smoke bloody 10 years after my last one and i was only ever a drunk smoker (IE the worst kind, bumming one off mates). Addictive personality says maybe meth aint a good idea lol.

    Did you go to bed with wet hair?

    source

    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That was not me, it popped up on my Reddit feed from a cleaning sub. Apparently the guy has been putting some sort of hair wax in his bed every night before bed. The advice was that it can’t be cleaned and to wax the whole headboard so it matches.

  I had one of those “I need to make a sudden life change” dreams.

  I wonder how things will play out.

    I had a dream that I was in a car and we were all randomly stressed and then a little tuxedo kitten literally fell from the sky through the window on my lap. I think someone somewhere was sending me a hug.

    I’ve been craving a change for like a month now. New job, new phone, new bed new SOMETHING. Even just rearranging a room might be nice. i haven’t done it yet cause I’m trying to understand the impulse.
