I just had a ham and salad sandwich for lunch. Salad just hits differently at the start of summer than the end. Give it a few months and I’ll be ready to stop the endless salads and go back to soups and stews for winter, but at the moment I’m all about the salad.

i just wish I didn’t get so knocked about by the vaccinations , 12 days and I’m still tired
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I found the Covid ones made me horribly sick for 2-3 days then tired for a couple of weeks. Actual Covid was much milder but lasted about twice as long.

If you need a light-hearted movie with a bunch of animals, go watch Zootopia 2. 4/5, cool movie.

I absolutely loved the first one. Thanks for the heads up!

The Best Show is doing a list of top 50 luckiest MFers and some of the people that have made the list are Anthony Kiedis, David Lee Roth, and Dave Grohl for attaching themselves to bands of much more talented musicians that helped elevate their profile.
I think they should include Mike Patton for similar reasons. He’s exceptionally talented but he joined Faith No More at the right time which helped elevate Mr Bungle and allowed him to launch Ipecac and do all his other projects. He’s an example of someone getting lucky for the right reasons and making the most of it
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
Phil Collins should be on that list?
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 19 hours ago
He was certainly in the right place at the right time to rejuvenate a failing prog band

I have lasagne in the oven with a couple of trays of veg, now I just need to wait. I’m pretty happy with past me who decided to make a bunch of mini lasagnes for the freezer.

Mentally exhausted with a black veil of hopelessness resting on my heart.
depression
That clanker didn’t call yesterday, so I’m relieved I don’t have to talk to it. I’m not expecting everything I want to be handed to me, nor did I expect it to be easy. But it does still hurt, and has me feeling so low as to question whether I’ve made a mistake pursuing this at all. Maybe I’m too old now and I should have just stuck it out in CC. Maybe that’s all anyone will give me a chance to do, and maybe I should just be happy with that. Just because I want something, doesn’t mean I’ll get it, I suppose.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I’m sorry Spud. I’m hoping an opportunity comes. If you’re going through hell keep going.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 day ago
It feels shitty but you’re doing more than inaction.
When are you done with your diploma?
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I’ve got my cert III already. To do cert IV in vet nursing I need a placement in animal industry first, hence why I took the cattery rejection so hard lol
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
nooo
you are doing the right thing , even in tough times education and pursuing a career is the best way to improve your life, it also means you are making the decisions as far as you can, not just letting other people determine your whole life
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Thank you! I am exercising my autonomy and self-determination, I just feel really terrible.
I appreciate your support and kindness, truly 🙏💜
SituationCake@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
Im so sorry. It’s hard to miss out when you’ve put so much work in. But you shouldn’t despair yet. I know people who graduated from all sorts of things where it took time to get a foot in the door. But they eventually did, and it worked out for them. If you are still keen to pursue it, then keep going. This may be irrelevant, but are you able to travel out of town for work? I knew a person in a similar field who got a placement in a rural area, far less competitive. Commute might be tough for a while but might give you a start? I hope you can be kind to yourself, get some rest over the next few days.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
It actually worked and it’s pretty tasty. I panicked a bit when it came out because it was soft so I squashed it down a bit while it was still warm.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
That does look pretty good. I might be tempted to try that myself.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I added 130g of dried and some chia seeds to make it more interesting.
Next time I’d make it in a small pan so it’s a bit thicker.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I’m doing it. I am going to IKEA. See ya on the other side

Can you pick me up 6 things I didn’t know I needed, please

You can pick from the multitude of things I bought not knowing I needed…strangely none of them are the one thing inwent there for…

Good luck. Can you grab me a meatball?

I packed away my electric throw blanket today with it now being summer and all. Promptly returned to the couch tonight.

I defrosted things thinking I’d do a quick BBQ cook up tonight but I really can’t be bothered now. I’m getting hungry too.

I’ve been trying to catch up on cleaning and avoid rage bait/doomscrolling but I am not managing to pull myself out of a vicious depression hole. Failing at life and failing at art. I just want to move out of where I am but that seems hopeless. Also feeling vulnerable because I managed to crack my head quite hard a few days ago, and pretty sure I have a concussion. I’ve mentioned it to my Dr during a visit a few days ago but haven’t really had it checked out. Hoping it will pass if I take it easy. I really don’t want to have to go to hospital.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Noooo :( please go get your head checked out if you can, and rest up or the concussion will force you to.
Also you’re not failing at life!! We could all be doing more, but this is everyone’s first time living. If you wouldn’t beat one of us up about it, don’t beat yourself up.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I would if there was a walk in option. Perhaps I’ll call the after hours doctor (which I should have sooner)
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 day ago

Believe me get that checked.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
My local hospital makes you wait 9-14 hours just for a bag of iv fluid, nobody’s available right now to be with Melbcat, and the last time I went I felt really unsafe from another patient.
I told my gp who didn’t seem too concerned but I’m keeping an eye on it.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Headache, nausea, dizziness? Extra sleepiness? Hope it’s all good. Big hugs
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Headache, tingling in hands. I’ve been managing fairly normally for a few days but am just anxious
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Aaand, I have finished listening to Project Hail Mary . Got it all analysed. Nice work.
Now for a final listen for fun. 🙂
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
Ok, probably concussion. Recommendations are to rest, watch out for the danger signs, and try not to do it again.
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 day ago
The cats have declared war on each other over a large piece of cardboard which is apparently the best bed ever. Boyo is mediating by sitting on it himself.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
It was looking like the monthly grocery shop was going to be a bit cheaper than normal, then I decided to get some turkey and ham and some more dried fruit and extra butter so I can do some baking. Now it’s looking like it will be a bit more expensive than normal.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
There were so many ducks blocking the road to work moving very begrudgingly out of the way of my car that I felt like I was crossing a picket line.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 day ago
At least one of us has their ducks in a row
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
In a row is definitely better than the single duck that likes to wait on the nature strip and then run out suddenly in front of the car. Ducks really shouldn’t play chicken.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Listening to PHM for fun.
I learnt one new word, decrement.
Reminded me how relaxing I find physics, it’s so orderly and is an exercise in clear thinking. ( yeah, you read that right )
I like how it pulls apart the goldilocks theory, which I think only got traction because it has a memorable name
it’s la-bo-ra-tory, not labra-tory 😉
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I reckon next week there will be at least 100 million bumped off various social media sites and social media companies will be screaming
because their user list is their main asset.

Guys, I need some help here. I wanna make this recipe but step 6 has got me stumped. There’s no chocolate in the ingredients. Do I put it in and how much and what kinda chocolate or do I ignore? It’s doing my head in.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 day ago
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I could
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Agree with Force, there’s no chocolate in the recipe that’s just an author typo methinks
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Thank you 👍
Pilk@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Reading that I thought I was going crazy. The steps with pictures don’t mention chocolate, but the recipe card at the bottom does.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
They did a cut and paste from a recipe that included the chocolate and just missed taking out that line. Very poor editing.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Yes. Exactly.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I found the original with choc chips included if you want to do that bit www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1244019863754660

I found something about solvent free oil painting around small kids/pets that slightly sets me at ease. sophieploeg.com/…/safe-studio-oil-painting-withou…
A bit doubtful about cleaning with soap and water but the brushes and paints were cheap and hopefully I can do the kitty litter dump of a reasonable amount of water.
And found a small set of water mixable oil paints off an art supply site for a lot cheaper and am debating it.
Now all I have to confront is myself 😔 Which to be honest is the whole battle.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I wash my brushes between uses but I use the same brush for the same colour or colour group as it it’s nigh on impossible to get perfectly clean.
And have labelled my brushes with some sticky tape so I know which is which.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I wonder if with careful order and wiping I could get away with only two

I woke up at 5:30 for no good reason, would have loved a sleep in. Sometimes it just happens. We aren’t robots. Don’t worry about it unless you are having consistent sleep problems. Occasional night of waking up is completely normal.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Thanks! It used to happen often but now it’s occasional!
