    Just tried the new ride on mower down here. Old one carked it.

    We are no longer going 4km/h but 6km/h. Basically the Ferrari of the mower world. Have to slow down when turning the corner on rabbit / hare mode.

    It’s also red so will have to put some flame decals on.

      Make sure you’ve got safety gear on. The extra 2km is a killer.

      Happy birthday!! How are you planning to celebrate?

      • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        By doing as little as possible and having dinner at a nice restaurant later.

        Very basic.

    Question: do you sleep

    1. clothed
    2. undie-d
    3. nude
    4. PJs

    Just curious after seeing a post on the other place about how 2/3 millennials sleep nude.

    I am one. Even if it’s the middle of winter. I get all twisted up in clothes, tangled, and I run hot so I just end up sweaty lol

    source
    • imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      PJs now but used to be nude. Dunno, I get cold and I have soft comfy jammies.

      source
      • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        yeah, on really cold nights I wear fleecies

        source
    • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Another nude. Unless I’m super unwell or there are guests in the house.

    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Weather appropriate PJs

      All the ladies going nude or undies…PM me…need to get…uhh… an understanding off…uhh…things.

      Yes, that’ll do.

      source
    • _miss_cellophane_@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Prefer nude for comfort, but wear short/ cropped PJ’s for fear of needing to get up suddenly and not being dressed (due to break in/ fire/). The BS anxiety around it just makes it easier to wear PJs.

      source
    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Nude.

      source
    • tone212_@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      PJ bottoms and a comfy t shirt on top for me. I run warm in bed but naked feels too cold.

    I think I fixed the dishwasher. It appears to be working. 🤞 I got the front wheels off the pram to scrub them after the dog shit incident but not the back wheels. I know how but they’re stuck so I’ve put cooking oil to soak in to those parts and will just have to move that to the back area of the lino while I mop the rest.

    TW mental health

    My sleep pattern is so bad and my mental health has been worse. I’ve been randomly having anxiety and grief crashouts so bad I puke but also desperately trying to regain some control and fix everything to try and ease my mind. Been talking with people about Melbcat and showing cute photos of her but nothing seems to help. I wish I could just cry normally, break down and howl like an animal but it doesn’t feel safe to do that with the people in my block. It has never in my life been safe to stop and fully openly grieve and usually I’ve had to compartmentalise to survive the next immediate crisis. www.tumblr.com/…/803770369219624960

      so many hugs

      don’t worry, you’re doing ok, this grief is normal

      maybe bathroom crying?

      • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I can still probably be easily heard :(

        And I’m still kind of at the stunned disbelief stage with it just starting to break through in little bits

    Holy crap it’s stunning outside. Had lunch with Boyo at a cafe and we both considered blowing off work for the arvo to go and sit on a patio somewhere. Sadly I’m back at my desk.

    Feels like someone is driving a knife into my lung through my left shoulder blade, even hurts to breathe a bit. No way I punctured my lung but just sleeping on my arm or crooking my neck funny.

    Why do I have to sleep like a bread knot lol

    • SaneMartigan@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Subscapularis and serratus anterior are the muscles in the area. Could also be rib head / vertebrae articulations.

      Poi or club bells are good shoulder mobility exercises. Else time heals most things.

      source
    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Are you hypermobile?

      I get that and it turned out to be a stiffness/subluxation where one rib was attached to my spine. Sometimes it can crunch back into place naturally or with gentle stretching. Another time it needed to be adjusted by a physio. (Avoid chiropractors.)

      source
      • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I don’t think I’m hyper mobile; I’m pretty inflexible which I attribute that to lack of exercise lol I can still put my foot behind my head though so I got that going for me 😂

        Though you are probably right with what the issue is. I’ll get my partner to give it a good massage when it isn’t 3am 😂

    Day 5

    The nicotine spray is effective.

    A couple more weeks and the spray can go as well.

    source
    • SaneMartigan@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Can you get weaker sprays? Or open it up and dilute it with water? I used to cut nic-patches down instead of buying weaker patches.

    I had a bad day again and napped. Festy sink dishes are washing in the shitty but now functional dishwasher. Prised the stuck wheels off with a butter knife and put them in the laundry sink. Tea towels on to wash. I feel like shit and just want my cat back.

      oh melbs

      so many hugs 🫂

      I have an idea. How about if you make a physical album about Melbcat (doesn’t have to be a scrap book with all decorations and stuff ) just a nice album of pictures and some writing , Start at the beginning. Yes, you will probably cry . Maybe do other albums of other cats you have had.

    Heading into the CBD this morning - haven’t been on public transport in months, usually work from home.

    Sure enough, delays of >10m just announced due to equipment issues.

    And people wonder why RTO mandates are so unpopular. Shonky PT is just one of the many reasons.

    Up since 3. Gnawing on raw tortellini. Cats attempting to manifest the food robot. Boyo on day 2 of giant tonka truck course. Think I should re-dye my hair. And seal the banister. And start the new Lego. It’s gonna be a day.

    I want to like AnySoftKeyboard but it makes it hard. The app’s menus are a mess and it has looked and felt different on every phone I’ve used it on. Right now on the vacuum phone the themes and suggestions only show up in some apps and I have to manually type everything out the rest of the time. Who knew creating a keyboard app with swipe was so hard?
