    Guys, my newly adult daughter is on an overnight bus with her friend on the way to Adelaide for a few days. I am sad but I’ll be ok.

      That’s awesome that she’s having adventures!! What’s planned for ADL?? How has your night been?

      source
      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        They’ll be doing touristy things. Staying in a backpackers hostel. My night’s been good, lots of laughs and now a little bit sad. I am happy for her but a little anxious because this is her first trip without a proper adult. Thanks for asking.

    Welp, I may feel like my thesis is complete shite and that doing a research project was the worst decision ever that’s dredged up an unrelenting blast of old trauma, but because nobody fucking applies for scholarships in my school, I did… and guess who just got $3000 for filling out some forms - when I’m weeks away from graduating 😂

    Sadly, it is taxable as I’m a part-time student, but hell, at least it’ll be in this FY where my taxable income isn’t as high due to having worked part time

    I have a very dear older family friend that is in early stage Alzheimer’s. We travelled together about 18 months ago but she is really past it now and we kinda knew that would happen (it was a bit of a last harrah family visit). there’s a family event coming up and she would love to go. I have told her that I can’t manage to find accommodation that will suit us (true) and I also think she is a bit past it (true and said and received with love). But she wants to and is a little bit past reason (keeps saying ‘I will let you know if I can come’) and it breaks my heart. I am gonna zoom her into it (someone in her home can help).

    But fuck this getting old business. She was the strongest most capable woman I knew growing up. Always a real rock for me. Aaargghh.

    Well it’s official.

    Hambam is now confidently an off leash walker.

    I have waited for this moment for a long time.

    Trick was to take him to the same park several times a day so he got over being hyper stimulated / fixated. It worked. Now he doesn’t give two shits about anything… other dogs / kids. So I have upgraded his braincell count to 3, from 2.

    yay, I went to the beach with my new gum boots. The tide was out and I was adventurous and walked right out across the sand flats to the far rocks that are usually well underwater.

    Step 1 in life admin day complete:

    I have a desk

    Image

    It is much more solid than I expected for the price, and a touch bigger than I was envisaging. It mostly went together easily too, with only a few bolts at the end which were tricky to position and in a place that didn’t allow you to turn the allen key fully. I think I’ve only got three more bits of furniture to assemble now, the two bedside tables and a small shelf.

    Am meant to transfer to a new department at work next week, but the new team didn’t initiate the transfer correctly - so my old role couldn’t be backfilled…

    …now there’s a fight brewing over when I should actually transition. It’s good to be wanted, but I feel like a kid who’s divorcing parents are fighting for custody!

    Mickey crawls into my oodie and has the audacity to grumble (literally, it’s so cute!) when he dutch ovens himself (and me 💀). Of course I trapped him so he had to experience his stank - it’s the least I could do to repay his fart to my face.

    Blended the 1st chilli ferment last night. 13 day ferment. The one w/ homegrown apricots, raspberries. Surprisingly it’s actually very good. Can taste them through the heat. Never had a hawt sauce like that. Raspberries made it a nice deep red. Was going to turn the last of chillies into powder but instead going to start anothery of that today.

    I think taking the chilli seeds out before the ferment (usually don’t bother) really made a difference and let the sweetness cut through. Bit time consuming but worth it.

    Miss Meow is finding her wooden climbing frame a touch high to jump on (and she shuns the little ladder designed to help). I’ve put a plastic container there to give her a step and she’s happily using it now, which is good as that’s the access to her food platform and the window hammock (which she is snoozing on in the morning sun right now). I’ve ordered a set of little steps as a more permanent solution.

    Today’s goals: life admin and getting the computer set up.

    Man, I just put all my estimated earnings and tax paid etc into a calculator and I’m depressed once again at the removal of the LMITO. I hate that I’m probably going to have such a 2.5-3k tax bill at the end despite working part time :( I’m so used to having tax returned and July being a bit of a splurge month.

    Why the hell is my employer withholding so little tax?! Ugh. I know it’s better to have the money up front and earn interest (which also gets taxed…) but psychologically it effing sucks.

    Next time I might start having a separate “tax” account to save the money into, like it’s an annual bill.
