MissGod is not legally allowed to drive my car due to the power to weight ratio restrictions.Thanks Victoria 😐

I wouldn’t want a p plater in mine!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 days ago
The car I’ve driven since I was on my Ps is over 20 years old, and so the brakes aren’t as sensitive as newer cars. If I get another car after this one dies, I’m going to have to get used to it!

Gotta love travelling for an hour on a Sun for a $4 item and having to walk almost the whole way because no trams came :(
Alternative was $8 shipping.
Good walk though nice and warm now no regrets.
Off in an hour to look after doggo for a few weeks. Bit worried about the whole thing but we’ll see.

Had a lovely day playing games with some old friends and new friends. Nice to have some IRL face time with people.
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Got home a few hours ago, and Mickey has been all up in my oodie with me in it haha all purrs, dribbles, and making biscuits
He was fine of course, no need for me to worry. But I will because I love him 🥹
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 days ago
It’s so cute when they get in it with you and pop their head out of the neck hole
OUR oodie
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 days ago
The communal oodie! It’s actually his oodie, I just borrow it sometimes 😂
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Lunch with friends incoming. Have just collapsed this weekend. Complete overwhelm. I am ok, some good things have started to happen and the stuff I trashed myself for at work has now been approved so I have funding for next year and some really exciting things…but it’s a lot. The little animal me just wants to lie looking up into a tree. Going out will be good to move. Happy Sunday everyone 😎
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Happy Sunday mate :)
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Have a great time :-)
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Rough night with tinyest so 5am was impractical. But 7 works, even if I miss the performances I can see them tonight. Least I don’t have to struggle through to midnight tonight and avoid the socials all day to find out the winner.

My wall heater needs a service too and I’ll pay whatever cos I don’t want to die in my sleep but 350 seems a bit steep.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I’m getting someone tomorrow. The Sunday surcharge is the killer.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 days ago
gasping
Internet connection restored!
Makes me realise how much of my activity these days is phone in bed. I have some offline music and Minecraft and maybe a few books, but not a lot of energy. I got bored and did some doodling in my sketchbook.

Goodnight lumps and sweet lumpy dreams. 😘

I propose a universal language for mental health stuff. It’d be nice for all of us to be able to be like “this is fucking me up and this is why I think that’s happening” and have that make sense to other people.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Step one is making sense of ourselves and recognising what is happening.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Then I’m still stuck on step 0.1- stop calling myself a dickhead 😂
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
So are we inside dwellers today’s or are we braving the outside?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I not only went outside, I woke up early for a birdwalk for a friend! Frigging awesome once you get past the inertia. So lovely with this sun and the cool air, all I needed was my trusty puffer jacket. Pretty beautifully warm in the car. Just driving past the autumn leaves with ABC jazz on… I feel like such a lucky and blessed person today
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I love this “beanie and sunnies” weather. It’s refreshing and I feel invigorated by it! Then it’s actually meaningful to get cosy and comfortable back home in a house warmed by an oven full of home baked goods 😁
Eagle@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Outside to hang washing, back inside to find more.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Inside, tied to my desk by a headset cord ☹️
Catfish@aussie.zone 5 days ago
It’s really not that bad here. I have neither heater on nor cardigan. 🤷🏻♀️
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Have been outside and am now inside trying to thaw
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Working in retail has made me want to pick a job that never deals with people again, or at least members of the public. I know that dealing with people will be good for me, in that I can become more assertive and less of a people pleaser. HOWEVER, I simultaneously dislike that I’m drawn to ‘helping’ professions.
I want to be there for other people, but how much am I supposed to give before all I am is just someone who gives to others?
My strengths are that I’m patient, kind, caring and curious. These help me deliver good outcomes for customers. But again, there is only so much I can take. I find myself genuinely not wanting to deal with people anymore, but then I feel like I won’t be living up to my potential and utilising my strengths.
So yeah, I think I’ve figured out why I’m so exhausted despite taking hardly any committed action. When I don’t feel like I have purpose in my daily life, that’s when I start to spiral.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I have been the person in the 2nd paragraph. It was fucking awful.
When I stopped giving everything to other people they bailed.
Be careful.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I don’t mind giving if I receive nothing back because sometimes people aren’t in a position to reciprocate.
It’s when my actions are treated with contempt, as if I am a fool for giving, that I get annoyed. That is when I stop giving.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Same. And hugs.
And then I figured these qualities I have were exploited by family while at the same time I was never taught that life and love should be, could be reciprocal, that others should be there for me too.
Oddly it was the Bible that taught me!! I’m not that religious and I haven’t read much but what I did read stuck. Hah, ironicaly I’m the only one in my fam that doesn’t have a biblical naame either.
It was “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
It is human and good to love one another. It is not human for only one person to do the loving.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Hugs 🫂 You deserved to be loved as much as you give 🫶
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Internet out and upstream light on modem blinking… no TPG or NBN outages reported for my address so idk what’s happening. :/

Decided to stay up a bit and try the new Doom game.
Holeeeeeee fuuuuuuuuck!!!
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I’ve switched to a slightly warmer blanket tonight.
By the time morning comes it’s going to be somewhere between 1-3 degrees, this is going to be a tough morning.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I’m sleeping with an oodie and 2 blankets. I think I’m having fevers.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I grabbed an extra blanket when headed to bed only to discover the Mrs has fallen asleep with the heater on, ensuite door open and bathroom blind open. Least it’ll be warm getting into bed if I can convince the cat to let me on my side.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Bloody weird watching Eurovision when you know the ending, but can’t deny they put on a bloody good show and Courtney and Tony smashed it!
Pilk@aussie.zone 5 days ago
The Eurovision subreddit is still locked down, eleven hours later 😂
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Noticed that. Been reading the thread in subreddit drama. The Israel fans are pushing a narrative for sure! Can’t deny that it only got 26% on the sbs poll tonight.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I think my body is getting too habituated to stimulation to whip myself into motivation (which comes erratically) - had a second coffee today and went to the office to try and get something done. 4 hours later of desperately scrabbling around for some kind of dopamine… Nothing. I gave up at that point but I’ve been feeling phenomenally tired all afternoon despite a solid 10 hours of sleep last night. How and when to turn on the switch?! Urgh. Doing work over the weekend seemed so possible on Friday but it was not to be.
Gonna make some prawn stock with these tiger prawns I bought, add some of it (and prawn meat) to this pre-made laksa, keep the rest of the stock for a pilaf maybe.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Somebody is hungry. She’s having some tuna well before dinner time
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Having a coffee at 4pm was a bad move, but the relative I just visited is known for their coffee making skills 😅
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Wow
spoiler
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. 12 points from the Australian public huh? Based on our last census religious reporting I’m calling bullshit or shenanigans here!
Pilk@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Eurovision spoilers
It’s bullshit AND shenanigans. If the vote was legitimate, we likely would’ve made it to the Grand Final. Turns out we were rank 11 in our semi – just outside the qualification rank – and look who dominated it. ESC has avoided a major disaster though. If the winner was different today the competition next year could have been unrecognisable in terms of participating countries and viewership.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 days ago

Yeah Mrs b was surprised Sweden and Finland didn’t do better. Was trying to explain that’s what happens when someone sucks up all the votes. A lot of acts deserved better this year. Be interested to see if the EBU do something, but I dunno what can actually be done short of kicking them out. And given they didn’t do that last year when they were a lot more justified, and that they resigned their major Jewish sponsor it’s a rock and a hard place of their own shitty decisions coming back to bite them.

My massage chair is very rough. It’s like knuckles being dug into my back. I think it bruised me.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
I want to cuddle up in bed and crash but I don’t need 14+ hours of sleep lol
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 days ago
It’s going to be pretty cold soon. There’s two cats often around here that I’m thinking of. One has a collar so might be alright but the other one has no collar.
I can’t put a shelter out there because it’ll get stolen or trashed by dickheads. Maybe in my backyard. The cost of tubs and straw though, and trying to cut a door into them… (my little rotary tool is very weak)
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 days ago
time for more sleep
Catfish@aussie.zone 5 days ago
Decorating choices are extra tricky when you don’t both have the same type of colour vision. Apparently my blue throw blanket is grey. I’ve got a simulator app, but it’s filters give typical results and can’t be tuned to a more exact diagnosis. If anyone has a better idea, spill please.

Where do they sleep? Do you know?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 days ago
No idea. There is a block of units just on the over side of the fence. I think they sleep there? When I go early to feed them, they’re not there.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 5 days ago
That is such good news! They’re so beautiful 🤩
