    So over the weekend Mr P and I formally broke up. First there was an argument where a ramekin was thrown, then a calming down and proper conversation. We’ve been in separate bedrooms for years so not much is really changing. He initially asked me to leave. I said no, I’ve been paying rent for 13½ years to the owner of the property who isn’t you. Neither of us can afford to move anywhere or pay market rent. Also with him on the dole, can’t afford to pay for all car related expenses, which is needed with the children. I said I’m still happy to pay that stuff and I think he saw that it was a pretty good deal actually and he’s best to eat humble pie and stick with it. It’s in my interests for him to have a car to do child/school related things whilst I’m at work, and I’m happy to contribute to that. I told him (not for the first time) that he’s welcome to see other people as long as discretion is exercised regarding the children. Since then things have been really civil between us. Let’s see how it goes.

      I think you’ve made the right decision to be honest.

        Thankyou ❤️

      Remember to take care of yourself! It’s easy to get caught up in the kids, and Mr P, and just all the stress and difficult conversation, and you forget to care for yourself too! Treat yourself! Be it a cafe coffee, or a luxurious bath/shower, read your face book/listen to your fav song, etc

      Breaking up is incrediblely hard on the soul, especially if you still have to live together, but you are strong, kind, clever, and AMAZING!

      YOU GOT THIS HOT STUFF!! 💜💜💜

        Thankyou, I’m hopeful that we can work our way through the “not working out” situation as peaceably as possible. Especially for Elder Minipeeler, who at first seemed pretty bummed out but is gradually realising that nothing is radically different.

      It sucks that things worked out that way, but I’m glad he was able to be civil about it afterward and it seems like you’ll be able to make things work how they are for the moment.

    Night walk. Hambam ended up rolling in some other dog’s shit. Needed bath.

    I was not very popular at first but he ended up accepting his fate.

    Woop there it is

    Rent increase notice received. I had a feeling it was coming, as the places near me with a similar floorplan were increasing. I almost can’t be mad tho, it’s still $50pw under the comparable places lol!

    Sent a reluctant message to the apartment using one of my two car parks, about starting to charge for it. I won’t charge them if I find a job though, and what I’m asking per month is $150 less than other car parks around here too so 💀🤷🏼‍♀️

    I’ve decided I need a detailed and comprehensive moving plan to make sure everything goes smoothly for my relocation. After a lot of research and considerable thought, here is what I have come up with:

    Step 1: Put everything in boxes
    Step 2: Move boxes to new house
    Step 3: Unpack all the boxes

    I think I’ve got this.

      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I know pizza on the floor is tradtional moving day fare, but as I already have the dining table up there I am going to break with tradition. The current plan is tacos.

      Make sure there’s air holes for those pets.

      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        It would be handy if I could just pack them up. Pet wrangling is going to be one of the most complicated parts of the move. Miss Meow will be sedated and confined to a small pen at each end while the move happens, and my sister is going to be nanny for the day to Mr Woof - hopefully the weather will be ok and she can exhaust him with a couple of long walks.

      label the boxes

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I don’t think I’m up to a proper inventory for everything, but I printed out some stickers to label which room everything belongs to. I’m writing a quick note on that of the most important bits I’m likely to want to look for first.

        I did have a plan to use the orange fragile tape on all the last boxes I pack, as they will be the ones I want to unpack first, but I accidentally packed the tape with the rest of the stationey supplies, so I might have to do some “open first” labels instead.

    Did everyone stockpile machetes before they were banned today? It slipped my mind and I forgot to get mine

    source
    • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      This has to be one of the least effective and stupidest knee-jerk reactions I’ve yet seen. It would be more to the point to ban shopping centres imo. Or teenagers. Machetes are really really easy to make - long grass slasher machine blades make the best ones. This is traditional in the bush for clearing scrub and butchering deer/sheep and opening Queensland Blue pumpkins if you can’t find the bow saw. Just screw the blade to a handle of some sort and sharpen. And I don’t think they’re going to ban council grass mowers anytime soon. Or Bunnings. Or pumpkins.

    Usually we have Spotify on at work, but today we have the radio and they’re advertising a competition to win a ski trip to Utah and all I can think of is what if you won the competition and then were denied entry because border officials didn’t think it was enough of a reason to visit? I wonder if there’s the option to just take money instead, haha.

    I am exhausted and I’m still so far behind where I want to be packing wise. All this stuff seems neverending, and everything seems to triple in size once I try to put it into a box. At least I should be building some good muscle with all this lifting.

    Miss Meow likes the stacked boxed decor theme, she’s been having a great time exploring everything.

    Thought I lost my keys when I got home and almost started getting worried. Turns out they were in my bag, in my jacket pocket. Then I thought I lost my earbud case. That was in my jumper pocket, and I was wearing the jumper this time. This sums up my week so far. And maybe my life since having long COVID.
