    Strays ate from a plate I was holding!

    It doesn’t sound like much, but this is huge.

    Also garlic dip is no joke, 38% garlic! It is SPICY from the garlic. Recommend if you wanna tasty treat that will also protect you from vampires and other people in general

      You can add it into dishes too instead of using raw garlic. I like to spread it on a piece of bread then add cheese and airfry it.

        That’s a terrific idea!

        Omg 🤤 I was thinking it felt more like an ingredient than a dip. Good thinking!

    Today was meant to be a uni work day but I genuinely couldn’t get up until 11am, it’s effing miserable out there, and Sox has been glued to me ever since, so I’m taking that as a sign to cancel my vague offer to help a relative tomorrow and use that to get on with my writing instead. Maybe I’ll do some more reading this arvo though.

    I’m also not normally much of a soup person, but this weather definitely calls for one. I’m thinking kidney beans, leeks, carrot, tamatah paste and the orzo lying around in the cupboard. Maybe some roast fennel.

      It was a day for sleep. I wanted to catch up on a bunch of stuff but napped all afternoon. I have listened to this part of my audiobook about three times because I keep falling asleep! Good luck with it tomorrow 💪🏻

      I used to catsit a couple of cats that snored. Sox definitely doesn’t. She might issue a throaty purr when she feels particularly gruntled, though.

    Mr Woof spent about four hours last night running in and out stressed out and looking for me. He was very happy when I got home, and hopefully will be a bit more relaxed tonight. And hopefully I will be a bit more relaxed too, knowing he’s ok.

    The positive outcome is that he is now confidently using the dog door in both directions and no longer requires my dog door midwiffery to get up the courage to go through.

    Miss Meow was also a bit stressed at having me out all night - she spend an hour or so in the early hours of the morning searching for me. Both of them were glued to my side in bed after I got home.

    At the same shopping centre where this week’s pumpkin projectile happened to me and I witness another loud confrontation between staff v shoplifter, this time at Aldi. I kept my distance and eyes on them the entire time. What is happening though? Twice in a week while I’m here. I honestly don’t feel that safe coming here anymore.

    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’m sorry bro, there are parts of Melbourne that are especially cooked now. Poverty, drugs and lack of support services are really causing a crunch and leading to increased aggression.

      It might be worth going somewhere else, another area if possible

    almost mid-year crying tally update

    YTD, I have “only” cried 34 times. This is compared to 72 times this time last year. And I haven’t cried in almost a month. Maybe my eyes have started to water since then, but haven’t counted it. A win is a win.

    I got:

    A fancy toothbrush (that has Bluetooth and an app for some reason)

    A jacket

    A hoodie with a massive hood (took me weeks to find)

    Massive amount of cat treats

    Done and done.

    How is it that tedious chores are easier in video games than rl? But I’m stealing the concept of ‘doing dailies’.

    If I can do even just one annoying thing each day, no matter if that’s all that gets done, then that should start to add up to a clean mostly empty flat. And if it doesn’t then it prevents things from snowballing (especially in a small place).

    I’m staying on Mts Wash and Dishmore, shredding paperwork, and slowly weeding out various things to declutter. There’s a bunch of different places for unwanted stuff to go but I’m just putting them aside for when I get a lift.

    When life is less chaotic then I begin to sell things.

    source
    • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      One annoying thing a day is a good idea. I’m going to steal it. If my executive function works with me.

    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      this is what I do

      I set myself rules. Everyday make sure the cat amenities are clean. Do the dishes and clean the kitchen everyday. Self care everyday. Wear clean tidy clothes everyday.

      If I make a list I try to have it all crossed by end of day, it doesn’t matter if it’s midnight.

      I need to expand my rules.

    Read another book (High Wire by Candace Fox) and in the brief bit of Sun we had, went out. The Minipeelers swindled me somehow into going to a local cafe where the San Sebastian cheesecake and tiramisu are to die for. Both were lovely as usual. Am now alternating between beached whale mode and doing odd little tasks like a load of laundry.

    Please help.

    Do I:

    Stay inside all day and lounge around

    Go and do a massive food shop

    Go and buy some new clothes

    I’m leaving towards option 1.

    source
    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Massive food shop if you’re lacking.

      It’ll also mean you won’t have to do it after work this week if you shop for the entire week.

      Clothes shopping maybe wait on that. EOFY sales should be starting soon?

      source
      • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        You make good points. I’m still lounging but will do a massive food shop sometime today, but not heaps lacking in stuff.

    Grrr. I have to go out and buy stuff. Peas are soaking for P&H soup, but they won’t be cookable for hours yet. I need a decent ham bone and some more garlic. Grrr. Some nice bread to have with soup would be good too. But hanging about won’t make that happen so will grit my teeth and grin and bear it. Weather is (marginally) improving.

    Found out you can do donations to food banks via supermarket delivery but annoyed that by posting that I’m driving more business to Coles (when Coles and Woolies should be receiving a lot more scrutiny for price gouging and shrinkflation).

    Hopefully a few more people will donate this way but it’s hiding a systemic issue (growing wealth inequality) and it’s always the big businesses that clean up when things go to shit. What a sucky balance.

    If I had money and a car I’d probably hit up Aldi or IGA both for myself and when I could do donations
