    Some of you know I write books. And I write spooky stories for kids. These stories are set in Tasmania. I have written 7 books in the series over the past 3 or so years.

    Why is it only now I have thought up the story idea titled “How I got my Second Head?”

    Staring at me this whole time.

    I was part of the Medibank, Optus and Latitude cyber hacks, and just received a notification from Qantas that I’m involved in theirs. Protection of my personal information is just meaningless at this point.

      Yeah, same for me with Qantas and Optus. Optus breach made me leave them and not pay my last bill because fuck them. Debt has since been sold to a collection agency and I just ignore their calls 😂 my debt is under $170 so they’ll write it off eventually, it’s been a few years now haha

      But yeah, personal data not being personal anymore? I’m really fucking sick of it. Qantas can suck my metaphorical dick.

    shells i got yesterday

    these are Pacific Ocean shells, they are big, but then the bigger ones are more likely to survive the rocky shore and waves intact

    one of them is just a piece of a tun shell ( these are usually very big ) but I often pick up pieces just to know what kind of shells are around

    Today was AWESOME, met so many familiar and wonderful faces at this event and really recharged, invigorated by the presentations and this glorious sun has really perked me up as well. Wrapped up early and probably not working tomorrow, but I’ll have at least earned some extra dough this week and have a bit more breathing space to catch up on life stuff. I might even look up what’s on this weekend. But for the next couple of hours, it’s journalling time before the psych

        For sure! Although I would’ve liked to work a bit tomorrow and pile up the cash, I’m also grateful to have an actual weekday breather - last week I worked a full day on the day I submitted my assignment, and it’s been full days this week too. Tomorrow I can take my time to chill out at a park or head out somewhere nice without too many crowds. Start reconnecting to who the hell I am outside of work and study

    The bedside tables are assembled!

    Image

    They may win the award for worst designed flat pack I’ve ever experienced. Multiple screws with a hex fitting recessed into the wood so you can’t get tools into them and can only turn a hex key less than a quarter turn before having to reposition. Plus a couple of instructions that were physically impossible. I had to make a few alterations to make it possible to get them together, but I think they are done solidly enough. The quality of the actual components is good and I like the overall design, but actually putting them together was definitely not something I’d want to repeat.

    I’ve just put together the small bookshelf I bought for the lounge room, now I just need to summon the energy to do the bedside tables and I’ll be done with flatpacks. Tomorrow I’ll be taking the polystyrene to the recycling centre and finalising the stuff at my old house. Then I’ll be able to fully focus on the unpacking and sorting here.

        Still far too many boxes to unpack, unfortunately. I’m hoping I have enough of the funiture assembled and positioned now that I can focus on the actual unpacking and sorting.

    That was actually a really uplifting and lovely psych session?! Yay! ☺️ I might not even need to see her for a while even though I’m still undecided as to whether I should terminate my lease and dump all my stuff in storage, or just pay rent until I get back. Leaving my stuff here is much, much easier, but I don’t want to be in the same rut. A lot hinges on whether I can trust myself to courageously move towards change if I come back to the same place.

    I can feel a decision bubbling up though. And other ways in which to address that yearning for a powerful driver of change

    Melbcat seems okay. I’m waiting to see if the latest issue resolves but she’s got a good appetite, is washing herself, and came to follow a visitor around. She doesn’t seem to be uncomfortable or have pain.

    Damn, was going to unwind with an episode of Murderbot but it is released Fridays, not Thursdays. But then I remembered all of The Bear s4 is available! I did need to read a recap of S3 because some of it was so slow but I also somehow forgot the amazing Napkins was in it too. I’m actually kind of happy that s4 is not returning to the insane intensity of S1 and S2 but let’s see where these characters go. The development of folks like Ritchie and Tina is what really makes the show.

    Whenever I go to the deli I always ask for a big handful of ham. Well the other day the young lass grabs the most pitiful handful so I encouraged her to grab more by saying “bigger” but because it was shredded it all clumped together. I left with 450g of ham off the bone.

    I think I’m gonna make ham and cheese muffins today.

    It just hit me. Melbcat has IBD. So maybe she’s having a flare.

    This could explain the increased appetite, being sick, the accidents, the crying… I’m going to get right back on the vets in the morning and ask. There is something that can be done about that.

    I found a 32gb SD card in a draw. I put it in my computer and it only reads 30mb of storage capacity and it needs to be formatted.

    But it can’t be formatted because it’s write protected.

    I plug it into some computers I have and it doesn’t get read at all. What’s on this SD card and why doesn’t it want me to know? What did I use this SD card for before?

    I could probably write a haunted media story about it for reddit for 30 updoots
