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!
Best wishes for you. I hope you’ll still stick around here. ❤️
Thank you. Definitely will, the Melbourne community is something else. 🖤
I feel you and I understand. It’s weird isn’t it having that feeling but knowing your doing the right thing by leaving? Something has changed here and I can’t put my finger on it, do you feel the same?
Yeah, absolutely. I went through a rough time a few years back and Melbourne lost its sparkle for me. I really have tried to push past it, but seem to keep struggling with the same stuff. Since coming to the decision to leave, there’s been unexpected relief.
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. 👍⚾
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. 😊
I think I ate too many cashews. I have bloat.
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.
it never ends

I’m aware Dethklok is a parody band but the music is still surprisingly solid
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.
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
Um… De-molded. Not demolished 😱
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
good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘
are there rain storms on the horizon 🙏
Not forecast but it feels like there should be a summer storm this evening.
none, it feels so dry here, no rain is forecast for the next ten days
I am watering by hand
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.
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.
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
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…
hugs
I know I would wake up crying if I dreamed of my mum, it was the only time I could remember her voice

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 😂

You and I have to stop syncing cycles like this.
