    I’m starting to think about retirement. Not very seriously, it’s still over a decade away - but in a “how the hell are we going to get a house and pay it off before that?” kinda way.

    But if we somehow manage it, retirement is going to be awesome.

  30C outside, 24C in the shade, perfectly cool but not cold breeze, just the sound of leaves rustling, and I have the place to myself for 1 hour while everyone goes out for an appointment. A moment of bliss…

    cold nights for the next few days

  I need to rehome some hobby items, and the most interested person is somebody I loath. Hundreds of hours in these things so yeah it goes matter. Ugh.

  Have fortified self with lunch burrito

  source

  • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yummo! What’s your go-to burrito of choice?

    Some of the office peeps and I went out to out local Malaysian place, always an excellent feed. Now I’m trying to stay awake at my desk. Today is shaping up to be an excellent food day!

    source

    • Alamutjones@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I went chipotle chicken today. Normally, from this place, I favour their barbacoa.

      I don’t get work burrito very often. Normally my work lunch of choice is crispy pork or crispy eggplant banh mi from the excellent banh mi joint, but the line there was mental

  Everyone is bringing their kids into the office today. Two people have already swung by with their kids and mine are coming this afternoon. The women in the office are getting spoiled

    My favourite part of the work day is when my Grade 6er arrives at my work after school.

    source

    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It’s a little different when it’s your own kid. A guy’s 3 year old daughter comes into the office here and all the women rush from their desks to form a circle around her.

  I was just having a coffee and I looked up and I saw a mouse running out of the kitchen. it ran straight towards my dog, over his paws and around him and under the couch. He looked at me like what the hell did you see that ? Useless dog sigh

    Dog was looking at you thinking how could YOU let this happen

    source
  • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Some previous cats did that. I even trapped the thing in the bathtub for their entertainment. Nope.

  Regretting the accidental nap when I got home

  source
• SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Going to bed early. Today was a write off due to sick. I don’t know what obnoxious bug this is but everything aches. This virus can get in the bin. I have a few events on this weekend but now looking like I’ll have to not go. Sigh.

  source

  • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Either a bad flu or covid.

    Hope you get plenty of rest and feel better soon. A real shame to miss out on this weekend.

  YAYYYYY.

  Off to the gym seeing as how it allowed me to have 5ish hours of sleep in a row.

  Then a well earned pizza.

  Cheers 🥂

• tone212_@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I’m the type to help keep the door open if someone is not too far behind me, walking the same direction. You know, politeness and all. Just witnessed someone at the gym look back, see me walking towards them, open the door the slightest amount (push open and it automatically shuts) and then it slammed right in my face. Thats humanity for you.

  source

  • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Some gym people shouldn’t be classed as people and I say that as a gym person.

    source
  • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’ve been on the other side of that situation. Usually the story is something along the lines of looking back to see someone is following, misjudging how long it will actually take to reach the door, struggling to decide whether to wait and then totally fumbling the door and walking off in shame because I completely messed up what should have been a straightforward interaction. Now that I’m older I’m less stressed about that sort of thing and would probably apologise for totally messing up the door holding thing, but when I was younger I would have been too overwhelmed by messing up the first interaction.

    Of course that person could just have been a dick, in which case fuck them and I hope they stub their toe on an exercise bike.

    Sup! How’s it going with adhd meds?

    source

    • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      At first it wasn’t great because I was having heart palpitations and crying spells. I lowered my dose to a quarter of a tablet and I don’t think it did much except increase my heart rate. I would go for a light walk and my HR would be around 140-150. My sleep has also been terrible but I think that’s because I’ve been waking up early and finding it hard to sleep at night at a decent time.

      I will be upping my dose today, potentially of the clonidine too, because that’s not doing anything either. Having a call with the psychiatrist on Tuesday and he might prescribe me non-stimulants, which are exorbitantly priced. I’ve wasted so much money on meds over the past few years that haven’t done anything or made the situation worse, so hopefully we’ll get to a good point. I’m thinking of trying skills over pills (e.g. time and stress management, using discipline over motivation).

      I have a fear of failure, to the point where I enter a freeze response, and end up failing. I think that’s the cause of my problems, and if I challenge the excuses that my brain makes and power through, I should be fine.

  It’s worth it, but yeah. Nice to be asleep for a while.

  I spilled some damp kitty litter while emptying the tray into the bin… now I have to sweep that up and mop. And I spilled a drink next to my bed that I need to finish blotting up and use cleaner on.

  Cleaning is truly never over :(
