    I moved to Melbourne from interstate 15 years ago. I have to move house (to downsize) in a few months, but nowhere feels right. Just picking a suburb has been paralysing.

    Over the last couple of weeks a few things have made me think of returning to my home state. Recent discussion with family has solidified it. I’m going home.

    It’s going to be weird not saying anything about it IRL till it’s settled.

      Good luck, happiness and good health where ever you choose.

      so many hugs

      Melbourne will be poorer without you.

        Aww thank you! It’s been a tough decision. I may venture back later in life, who knows!

        Thank you. Definitely will, the Melbourne community is something else. 🖤

    The heebies! The heebies!!! Wednesday I start work, then Friday arvo mate from UK is staying over, because of the wedding on Saturday.

    And I’m on the rag.

    Everything Everywhere All At Once!

    At least I’m not the bride having to deal with a narcissistic mother and sister though 👀 #blessed 😂

    Service: Publicly advertises discount for pensioners

    Me, a pensioner: Can I please get the discount for pensioners

    Service: Uhhh… I guess… I can do that for you…

    I’ve done a rough plan for the next few weeks, just adding on more good habits to the old ones.

    Re-orged my work area/desk ( I had to move my area because the young seagoons have the big table now ).

    It’ll be ok. 😊

    Today was glorious.

    Had a meeting with my manager and one of the directors.

    Director is an absolute fucking legend lol

    Manager tried some petty bullshit and I pushed back hard.

    So much respect for the director. I have my lane now.

    It’s simple. Stay out of my way so I can make this company money and justify my salary before probation ends.

    Now we are all on the same page!

      That’s great. Sounds like you have the freedom to kick some goals now

      this is awesome

      and I am hard reminded of the great scene in Moneyball where Billy talks to the owner and gets total support to do his job. 👍⚾

    Quick wipe of bathroom mirror and sink. Litterboxes changed, bins emptied. More laundry.

    Running the bathroom and stove fans trying to pull some fresh cool air through.

    I think I ate too many cashews. I have bloat.

  • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Yesterday I folded and put away the towels, put away half the laundry, applied carpet stain spray after blotting a spill up, did a big tidy of the bathroom and a quick scrub of the shower.

    But I didn’t have the energy to scrub the carpet cleaner out or finish the dishes, or wipe the bathroom down.

    Eh. It doesn’t really matter if the clean laundry waits in the basket. I think I’ll just do a general tidy of the house and attend to the carpet then hopefully get back on the dishes tonight.

    • imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Nicely done. I have had to accept that I will always have some laundry waiting patiently to be put away. Meh. I cleaned and demolished the shower and have got the dishwasher going. Just little bits.

        Yep. I’m just trying to prioritise things that cause problems if left

      Not forecast but it feels like there should be a summer storm this evening.

      source
      • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        none, it feels so dry here, no rain is forecast for the next ten days

        I am watering by hand

    So you can watch the tennis on Stan, but animated…looks exactly like Wii Tennis. I’m not sure why this is an option.

    a little gardening while it’s not too hot outside then back in to do some planning and stuff 😊I got this

    Is there a name for the way a cat keeps their paw lightly on the ground but tips the top of their forearm and knuckles forward? It seems to be a way of giving attitude when they want something and you’re not paying attention.

    It kind of looks like this. Still placed on the ground but pitched forward so it pushes out the forearm and bends the toes

      I liken it to the way we tap our feet or tap our fingers when we’re in a queue or waiting for something 😂 “attend to me now, lest I unleash my wrath”

      Your drawing is really good! I knew instantly what you were referring to when I saw it!

        Thanks! There a very particular motion and weight transfer to the body language. Almost like cocking your hip in annoyance.

        spoiler

        Image

        I saw it called a fluffen once in specifically in reference to it showing attitude but I googled that and the results were not that… (nsfw)

      Good morning…in my dreams I was at a big conference but I realise now everyone there was a dead person 😱 very random people too…robin Williams…George peḷl ( and yes there was a very satisfying moment when I told him what I thought of him). And my mum 💜. And all the normal conference stress of not finding the right room etc. and random talks but about really sad stuff

      I am tired now 🥹 I hate when my brain spends the night just going off…

        I know I would wake up crying if I dreamed of my mum, it was the only time I could remember her voice
