        That’s a great point, however I’m just a set designer and lighting tech.

      So cool! Can I ask where the lights are from?

      source
      • useless_modern_god@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Sure. It’s just two lights. The LED ”neon”sign is off Etsy and there is a white pin spot on the disco ball from DJ City (various locations in Melbourne)

    A Canadian celebration breakfast put on by young Mr Seagoon , we had pancakes and maples syrup and fresh coffee. Tonight it will ne Canadian mac n cheese. With crumbled crisps baked on top. It’s a Canadian thing.

    Then a walk n on the dog beach with Miss Seagoon and Bear the Irish terrier. I picked up ten new kinds of shells.

    here is Miss Seagoon and Bear

    Image

    then shopping in the city, a quick bite and we went to Clock museum, which was a weird place.

    Now home for a few days while the big storm blows through.😊

    I love the young Seagoons so much 🥹

    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      What a wholesome day, I am so happy that you’re getting this time with them. What made the clock museum weird?

      Enjoy the downtime!

    I saw a fox just before.

    I’m worried that by leaving food for the strays overnight that I’ve put them in danger…

      I have seen one of my cats successfully go on the offensive on a fox. They aren’t as helpless as you might think.

    Well, I asked for more field work, and while I was out onto one site I got called up to go to two more, in the rain and cold and everything. But it helped; I feel heaps better today despite some challenging people to deal with (not colleagues). Needed to get oot and aboot!

    Gonna go in tomorrow and probably work a full day - heading out midday with the team for an industry meeting/conference thing. Earning that extra money as much as I can. Lord knows I need it. Psych appt got moved to tomorrow so I’ll be budgeting carefully until next Friday evening… Need to reschedule dentist again…

    Now what to do at home? Maybe some long overdue journalling. Still getting used to not having this big acute deadline hanging over my head ☺️ might also watch an Ang Lee classic, Eat Drink Man Woman.

    source
    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Any shows to watch?

      source
      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        I’m halfway through Eat Drunk Man Woman. It’s a really wonderful snapshot of Asian family dynamics and life in Taiwan in the 90s, incredibly engaging. Also, the FOOD PORN holy sheeeeeit

    At my co-working space they do a free breakfast on Wednesdays - you best believe I loaded up my plate. There was waffles with chocolate sauce, English muffins with ham and cheese, croissants, yoghurt with fruit, donuts, I got it all. Food coma incoming. And I brought my own lunch too.

    Picked up a friend from the Austin Repat today. The place is a time warp. So run down, I’m surprised it’s still useable at all. Desperately in need of a major refurbishment.

    Furbaby had a cuddle, napped, then has been woken for dinner and meds. I hope she’s feeling a bit better.

    spoiler

    I’m dropping the Osmolax down and starting to give her probiotics in the hope that helps her tummy. Maybe even try a little psyllium husk instead.

    Also I’m glad you guys are around. You’re good people.

    I put on a goosebumps 90s episode last night to watch with little one and man the 90s melancholy/nostalgia/wistfulness hit me so hard. Oh to be able to go back to that time.

    Oh a side note, I love how Slappy scares my 9 year old. She talks tough about not being scared of anything, but as soon as Slappy moves his head she’s clinging to me like she’s about to fall off a mountain lol.

    source
    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Fair call, Slappy is scary as hell!

      source

        They’re releasing a new dummy based on the OG Slappy. Definitely adding it to my collection.

    MH and academics plus a whole lot of complaining

    Yep so I got the confirmation that I’ve failed two subjects because of late submissions. Submitting things late and just being numb to deadlines is a real problem for me. This whole uni thing doesn’t feel real anymore. Nothing does really. I am so sick of being on the verge of panic every single day, and not being able to sleep. I’ve been putting way too much pressure on myself to the point where I’m trying to get a H1 assignment of me, in a couple of days, in an attempt to reduce the impact of the late penalty. But I am getting absolutely nothing out. I love the uni, I love the course, I’ve met so many wonderful people, and I would be giving up a social opportunity that is hard to get as you get older and meet fewer people. Despite all the hiccups, tears and questioning, I think I want to stay in the course because I can’t see myself doing anything else. I think getting this degree and doing this career will make me more resilient, and a better person. I don’t want to “give up” and just get any random job or stay in retail forever. So hopefully I won’t get kicked out, and worst case scenario, I’ll just have to repeat a couple of units and spend an extra few months at uni. I’ll see my psych again to ask for advice, maybe try out ADHD meds because I can’t continue being numb to deadlines and getting long extensions that just delay things even further, and as soon as I get an assignment, at least taking a look at it. This is jeopardising my future career. I feel like ADHD meds won’t work and will suck for my heart function. Surely, there’s another way. “Just start the bloody things earlier!”

      Before the adhd meds, I washed dishes in a Cafe and was bad at it.

      Post adhd meds and with the help of a friend to get my foot in the door, I run a team of IT professionals.

      That big of a difference.

      source
      • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Wow. That’s a really big difference.

        I’ll get onto it. Hopefully there’s something out there that’s not going to kill my heart and worsen my anxiety.

    Cat TMI, poop talk

    Melbcat has started having frequent little accidents and while I’m hoping that it’s only temporary I’m scared that she might be losing control of her bowels. She’s still seeming mostly comfortable, bright and alert, still eating and washing herself. No current urinary incontinence. She’s stopped crying since this started. I’m just spiraling because I’m aware age is catching up to her and I’m terrified of the future. I feel about Melbcat the way people feel about their child. ___

    There’s cracks in the foundations of my mind
    Now every structure is compromised
    And I lie and say I’m alright
    But my can of worms has snakes inside
    So I keep the lid closed
    And seal my lips so
    So my loved ones do not know
    I’ll be the keeper of their happiness
    And prolong their blissful ignorance
    Of the cracks in the foundations of my mind

    I can see the rain outside and I’m glad I stayed home. The other woman in my team got sick from being in the cold and rain in this place just last week and everyone has gone back in similar conditions.

    I’m using today as an open day to work on things I’ve been meaning to before other demands pulled me in other directions.

    I kept hearing this noise at night and I thought it was the sound of some electrical thing outside. I have confirmed it’s a possum. Sounds like me screaming with no high pitched noise.

    My dad was great for putting up a pergola outside, but the possums love running up it.

    I’ve created a kind of cheat sheet for uni with references to advice I’ve read, teaching theories etc. I was using a google sheets spreadsheet for it but dot points and images aren’t formatting properly for my liking.

    Does anyone have a suggestion for a cloud-based note taking option? I am about to try OneNote but thought Id see if there are other options too.
