Recently had an elderly neighbour die, all his belongings turfed onto the street for collection including Narnia books and other long owned sentimental books/VHS. Had to collect it before it got rained on or collected to go to the op shop that was only 200m away.

Jeepers! That’s a shock to the system alright.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Yep. Even in her grief she was so kind as to get one of the neighbours she’s closest to come and let us all know the news.
Mrs b is taking it pretty chill but it’s kicked me in the fuckin teeth.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 week ago
That’s terrible. 😔
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Yeah. I feel like shit. We didn’t know him all that well but we know her very well and she’s always been super duper kind to the family.
Can’t even imagine what she’s going through.

I have made it to Ballarat. Looking at the traffic going into the city I am glad I wasn’t travelling the other way.
I have hot air coming from my ceiling vents, and hot water comes out of the taps. The internet is internetting. Now I need to do a bit of cleaning and start making the place look more like a home.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 week ago
eat a takeaway pizza whilst sitting on the living room floor. its tradition.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 week ago
yup 🍕🚫🪑
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Sounds wonderful.
In a way we are so spoiled to have such luxuries as warmth and hot water on tap.

I don’t think I’d manage without. As cool as bushcraft videos are I’m an inside cat

It would appear the people who moved near the other day are fond of substances and DV.

Maybe you need to put cat footprints all over their side, they might think it’s a cat ghost.

I’ve had this crazy expensive headset from an old job for almost 2 years.
I have just now figured out how to get it to work wirelessly.
I work in IT.
It’s a razer blackshark 2 Pro.

Haha. From one IT folk to another I see ya

It was meant to be! Salmon was on special. I was tired but I painstakingly picked the watercress, made the salad with apple and a lemon dressing (painful with a cut finger), and heaped some delicious pre-made potato stuff. A fine dinner to the end the week on!
although that salmon is cooooked
Tucking in now all rugged up watching Jerry McGuire because why not.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 week ago
That looks so good.
I hope you’re able to relax and stay warm tonight while you chill with a movie.

Aww my friend who’s been living and working in China for a decade or so has decided to leave and wants to bring me a small gift. Wants to know what I want, and I have no idea what to suggest! Any ideas guys? Something useless for the kitchen?
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Suggest a random thing from one of their favourite shops or places?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 week ago
a small bronze or piece of pottery in traditional style

Glad I cut up heaps of fruit for the inevitable waking. Strawberries and jazz apples are a good combo with salada and peanut butter.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 week ago
It’s been a tiring week. Had a nice meal tonight and I have eaten much cheese. Now I’m gonna either watch tv or read something, but I’m doing it from bed with the electric blanket on.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Well, I complained and complained about my unit being a hot oven over summer but it’s working to my advantage with this cool weather atm. Let’s see how well it holds up over the weekend. Still haven’t gotten the oodie out or heater on. No thermals, no puffer jacket…
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Has anyone else noticed Bonds stuff is shit these days?
I used to be able to rely on them for fairly good quality clothes but yeah. Stuff falls apart really quickly now.

I can’t help but feel like a prick ugh my aunt has moved to Maffra and is hosting family tomorrow night/overnight to celebrate housewarming/April&May birthdays.
I have not been able to organise for anyone to check on mickey while we’re gone. It isn’t feasible to bring him (dad driving us, aunt already has a cat, there will be a big dog). I know he’ll be okay, we have done once before one Xmas where I left the aircon on for him and heaps of food around - so I’m confident he’ll be okay and fine. But there’s that niggling fear that I’m a bad fkn owner. Idk just a vent - I’m happy if people wish to pass judgement aita style.
I’m lucky he isn’t super food motivated, I can leave food around and he won’t scoff it then vomit. I’ll put the reverse cycle on warm for him and make a couple of nests out of the oodies, hoodies, and couch-blankets. I’ll dry food out and around and make sure his water is changed tomorrow morning before I go. He’ll be fine! Fuck!

Hey, shit sleep club is popping off. I did go to bed very early. And took a magnesium pill w/dinner to combat muscle soreness. Maybe a familiar movie will bore my brain into more sleep.

Lunch at a new Japanese place that’s opened up proved to be a good idea, even if it’s far enough from work that it stretched the time limit. But pork katsu curry don really hit the spot.
Have been an idiot with lunches this week, time to tighten the wallet next week!

Aw yeeeee The Guardian app now has the cryptic crosswords - used to be a seperate app until they pulled it. Love me cryptics! Takes a while to learn each setters esoteric use of cryptic clues, but once one does one feels very “s.m.r.t”
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I had like, 3 hours of sleep last night. Why am I still awake!?
💀
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Oh jeez… today has not been a good day. It’s only getting worse.
TW vomiting, medical, disordered eating
For those playing at home I have gastroparesis secondary to h-EDS and it’s also caused enough involuntary weight loss that I don’t have enough of an internal fat pad to stop a ligament pinching the vein to my kidney. I’m in constant pain, mostly bed bound and vomiting because I’m unable to even digest crackers. Completely liquid diet might be back on the cards. My team is going to go back to pushing for a feeding tube but drs resist until it’s the last resort so who knows if they’ll intervene.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Shucks, well I thought today’s meeting with my supervisor was gonna be a bust because I spent all morning in a funk and didn’t prepare much, but it was much less rushed than yesterday and we covered some really good ground! The model I was struggling with yesterday turned out to be good enough. Plus I got some very positive feedback on the logic flow and reassurance that it was all heading in the right direction (enough for a really minor thesis, anyway) even though I know there’s flaws with the data.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 week ago
I got a decent thick fleece jacket at the op shop but washed it repeatedly trying to get the fabric softener perfume out and now it’s looking a little worse for wear :(
At least I also got a button up shirt and a woven cotton blanket which are like hens teeth now
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Door track cleanliness has been aquired
Vacuuming and washing the outside of the windows has also been done. I’m just about to start on mopping and then I can spend some time assembling things (and bringing more stuff in from the van).
I have decided whoever installed the sliding doors here put them in the wrong way. The traffic flow through both the laundry and the living room would work better if they opened in the other direction, and the space for the washing machine (with both the power point and drainage point in the sink) would block the doorway if you actually put the machine there. Fortunately it’s a big area and there is still space for the machine, but I am going to have to run the power cord across to the other side of the sink and hook the drainage pipe over the side of the sink instead of using the built in drainage hole.

I’ve got a craving for Peking duck.
I don’t want super pricey and fancy shit.
I’m good with mediocre quality at a price.
So yeah we’re doing cheapish Chinese in the city tomorrow for dinner.
