Why do people insist on parading their dogs around Bunnings? I’m not against it, but, it seems like a bit of a phenomenon.

On one hand, feeling like I’ve been hit by a truck is a good measure of yesterday’s workout.
On the other hand, fuck this lol

If it stops raining here it’s beach.
mertn22@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That looks exactly like my stray cat. Can you please let me know what type of cat it is? The online cat registry says it is a “cat/domestic” which is not much help.

I threw out a 30 year old t shirt just now.🫡

I am having a lot of trouble just moving today. I have a bad case of the shoulds. Should go to the beach. Should prep food. Should should. Ugh. Step one. Coffee. Bite to eat.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Feeling the same way. Midday has come and I’m still in my dressing gown. Boyo suggested going out for lunch and I cannot think of a single place I want to go.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It’s pretty miserable as well out there, grey and super windy.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I only emerged out of bed at 12:30 feeling parched and gross. Just going to power through my chores for today - including washing and drying my hair which is A Task - and book my WA flights and call it done. Thank fuck I cleared up the kitchen last night.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Ran around all day yesterday, will run around all day tomorrow. Today I putter quietly doing little jobs and recharging
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Okay all that booze (not even that much!) was not a great idea, shot awake at 3am from a bad dream, couldn’t sleep till 4:30, and now it’s 9 and ughghgh… Should’ve drunk more water. This is why I don’t drink much.
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Ugh. Up since 4, I hate my brain. Today I meet some random bloke to trade pokemon and… dunno. It looks miserable. More bonus TV I guess. Reacher is pretty good.

This is rare form for the kitten. Moments later she was stealing from her mother’s plate lol

Ugh, I’ve been pushing myself through laundry and tidying the place a bit but I think now the CBF factor has won.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 month ago
IKR? Done washing, prepped a silver beet frittata, some roast sweet potatoes and have a risotto in the instant pot. Really should roast the pumpkin I have while the oven is going but the couch is calling

Today is a write off. Fucking headache.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I have one too but it’s going away. Hope yours does go soon too.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Thanks, here’s to Sunday headaches :(
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
oh no
take care and don’t feel bad 😘

Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I like to think as an aussie I’m pretty chill in regard to bugs and such but this place is trying me
Yesterday I saw a big spider walk out of my room, cross the hall and go into another room. Today there was a European wasp in the dunny . Cockroach in the basin, etc etc 😬
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
cross the hall and go into another room
lol just checking to see if everyone is enjoying their stay.
A year back one chased me across the room (and followed me when I changed direction). I don’t mind spiders but that thing really didn’t like me for some reason and it was actually disturbing. Ended up walking outside, it followed, closed the door, so I won that fight.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That spider defo had a problem
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
You insulted it’s honour obviously lol
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Wasps freak me out more than spiders, they unexpectedly turn and fly towards you and I fear swatting at them in case they sting my hand. If they ever get indoors need to be tackled from a distance with spray.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I hate moths and dragonflies. Why do they need to go for my head? Fly away and I won’t need to kill you.
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m the designated spider removalist but cannot cope with anything that might get under your skin. If you know the x files episode with the blue thing 🤮
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Do people steal the pumps of soap dispensers now? Got to work and some units just had the container bit, with the pumps nowhere to be found.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I once stole a pen with a chain on it from a bank cos mum complained there was never a pen near the phone when you needed one. So yeah people steal shit.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
At the shops yesterday and a mum was there w/ her probably 3 yr old girl. At this place the confectionery is at the checkout right at eye level for the kid. She started shoveling shit into her pockets. I couldn’t stop laughing my arse off because it was the perfect crime as the checkout couldn’t see kiddo. Mum was pretty embarrassed but in reality it made my day.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I racked one of those as a kid and man, mum was really unhappy with me hey.
mertn22@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I am moving house at the moment. I queried the new owner about why there was no TV antenna. The answer was that a previous tenant stole it. What a weird thing to steal.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I feel like whoever took the soap pumps was just trolling. Why do they need seven?

First day of new job tomorrow. It should be good but I’m in a bit of a “what if they hate me because I’m not wearing the perfect outfit” headspace.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I had that feeling not long ago. A good workplace will make you feel welcome almost straight away
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Good luck, hope it goes well!
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Ok the drugs have mostly worked, headache has gone from mega to mild. Have put on a load of washing, emptied the dishwasher and put the robovac on in the bedroom. Small wins. Now thinking about lunch.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
YL cleaned her room. There’s mountains of washing that came out. I feel sick.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I have the kind of headache where I don’t even feel like watching tv. Just close my eyes and waiting for the panadol to kick in. Wouldn’t be shocked if my head exploded.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I feel you. Not quite a migraine but enough to be in pain and a bad mood.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Sounds yucky, maybe a nap might help or a heat pack if it’s a tension headache?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Oh bummer, looks like the ATO still haven’t received info about my voluntary deductible contribution and I have an estimated return date now so they’re almost done finalising it. So they’re going to slap me with a huge tax bill even though I cleared out so much into super and I’ll have to call or some shit to amend it. Uuuurrrrgh I thought this was going to be much more straightforward. I followed all the steps! If it wasn’t for that bonus I would be ready to cry.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That's... Not blueberries
It would make more sense if the strawberry flavour was raspberry, so they just cheaped out and recoloured the raspberries blue. But no, the strawberry flavour has strawberries on the packaging, grapes for grapes, but recolouring raspberries blue would be more work than just using an image of actual blueberries.
Make it make sense! 😭
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Was it Blue Raspberry flavour by any chance? Blue raspberry is an artificial flavour made up from a few others.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That was my first thought, but reconstructing the packaging it is definitely ‘blueberry’ flavour!
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Never seen a real blueberry in the wild so to speak. Not much chance of actual real flavour too I reckon.
tone212_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Back from seeing the new Jurassic World movie. So much dinosaurs eating people. Easy watching dumb action movie, they have their place. 3.5/5

I actually managed to get a bit done around the apartment in between naps. I think I am still off from that flu a couple weeks ago. I have loaded up the fridge with vege foods for the week so hopefully that will get the vitamins going. Have a good week everyone.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Took tomorrow off. Need up for pushing through it. Have 2 meetings I’m choosing to attend and that’s it.

Power outage didn’t happen, woke up early to do all my stuff and now I’m feeling drained and tired like I have a hangover.

I didn’t get out of bed today. Slept all day. Not sick, at least I don’t think so, but I just could not be fucked.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 month ago
So I’ve been doing piano and guitar lessons for about six months, one instrument every fortnight. I’m not consistent enough in my practise, so I’m thinking about just doing guitar lessons. I’ve had some piano experience before and although I still suck, I don’t suck at it as much as I suck at guitar.
I really want to be more consistent with practise and also being active. What are some barriers that you experience with forming consistent habits?

Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Ended up going to stay a day or two more down here as I probs hit a mental limit with care before I get things going again. Finally caught up with me I think.
Big fight with the ol’ boy last night and I can see he’s reaching his too. It’s all been sorted out today everyone just needs a breather and that’s healthy.
In unrelated news I took a weed burner to dim sims with little chillies on top on a bbq which was not something on my bucket list but here we are.

Excuse the magpie poo on the left that’s not my fault.
We also need a rave choon
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
There’s an idea. The old boy could learn to bbq. Potato salad/slaw and bagged salad come ready to eat so the old girl won’t be expected to make sides.
I personally disliked my countertop dishwasher but if your olds are less picky than me it could help them.
(Please take your breaks)
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
You don’t see that on Masterchef
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I hope some more Bellarine time gives you the chance to relax a bit - you’ve got a difficult situation going on. Taking care of yourself is important too 💛
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Woof, you definitely deserve a bit of time and space after all that energy going around. That’s great that you have this space to get a breather because it sounds like A Lot. It also sucks to be the only child stepping up (I note crickets around the sibling’s involvement).
Your little dim sims almost look like dangerous marshmellows. Very cute. I kind of want to try grilled dim sims too. (Also good idea from melbaboutown regarding your dad doing Manly Barbequeing - though it depends on whether you mother can eat that or needs softer foods)
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yea only thing bro has done is drop off some shit to eat once that she couldn’t eat lol. Didn’t even see her in hospital. Granted they just had a bubs for the recent hospital stay but ol’ girl has been in and out for over a year so it’s not really an excuse in my mind. When they were over a few weeks ago when ol’ girl just got out, I was explaining the gravity of things and they just didn’t give a shit which annoyed me.
The eating thing is doing my head in. For over a year now for her it’s supposed to be 6 small things a day and I’m struggling to get just 1 in. Now with the bowel resection and her not eating for that long in recovery and the refusal I just can’t get enough volume of food in. When she was in good shape and sound mind she’d refuse ol’ boy’s bbqs anyway… lol.
I guess I just feel everything I’ve been trying to do (basically keep her at home and not in a home) has just fallen apart.
