I’m so annoyed that I picked up the gardening, budgeting and cooking skills and was about to add foraging… but I got the chronic fatigue/disability and broken stomach debuffs. Severely limiting the personal advantages.
They all combine so well. If I hadn’t been stopped I would have been too strong
That sucks. Sorry to hear. Foraging sounds cool.
I have crohns and most of my hobbies are “outdoorsy” stuff. When I’m flaring I just wish I fkn loved video games and such!
Yeah, video games and the internet do get a bit old after a while
you are here, you are alive, you are smart and brave and strong
I don’t think much of anything could keep you down, just focus on one thing and one thing only
😘😘😘
my clothes have been hanging off me
if I have lost weight it’s been really slow
decided to try on some old jeans, they all fit again and fit easy 😭
now to lose the last 15 kg
Holy crap. Oil in the wok was a bit too hot/water content in food a bit to high and oil splattered onto the gas burner - whoosh. got it stopped but not before it made a mess of the range hood. Holy crap that was close. Gonna need a new rangehood (from whom does one even buy a rangehood?). Excuse me while I go freak out in the corner for a bit
Glad you’re ok!
Scary. Is there any chance fire could have spread up the ducting in the rangehood? If so you might want the brigade to check the roof as a precaution - and you many need to get a report for an insurance claim too.
I believe its ok but thanks. I stuck my head in the roof cavity and all ok and I got it turned off nearly immediately. A bit of the plastic is melted and the fine mesh.
Friend in Japan sent me a postcard with the sentence, “Hope to see you soon beautiful woman” written in Japanese. I sure hope to see her soon.
aw, that’s so sweet 🥰🥰🥰
Flu shot aquired. It’s always amusing how excited grown adults get at being given a free lolipop.
I’ve been the assistant to the flu vax-er at work the past few weeks, and let me tell you I’ve gotta hold onto the tub of chuppa chups tight or they’re all gone in a blink. In all honesty, I’m glad we’re allowed to do lollipop rewards again, the stickers weren’t cutting it.
I got no sticker or lollipop
And I got two shots at the same time in the same arm
I think it’s really important that YarraByte creates this thread.
I see Lemmy 1.0 (currently in Alpha) has post scheduling by default, which I’m sure will solve this almost completely. In the meantime, have mods/admin exhausted all other options to keep YB stable? Could we chip in for a good quality webcron service? They’re pretty cheap.
I think there was an outage last night and YB got lost in the dark.
So Lemmy fell over instead? I’m sorry for besmirching YarraByte’s name.
Yeah, if aussie.zone isn’t reachable at 00:00 then there is no automatic posting, the alternative is it keeps trying which risks the creation of multiple threads.
Should we look into building a lighthouse? The programming req for a bot ended up beyond me, but a pile of rocks with a torch on top seems achievable.
sky pretty
and so are you :)
aw, blush
Almost stepped on a tiny skink. Managed to hover my foot mid step as it ran away. So glad I didn’t kill it! I would have been so sad.
too much bed
but can I just say that this past 6 months sleep has been so good 🥹the first time in many years I have been able to sleep on my right side, my fave side
the small things we take for granted
Catching some of that sleepy sand 🤲 ✨ 🛌

that first kind of cough medicine gave me weird arse dreams. In one I was being chased by a mean Ricky Gervais. I like Ricky and was so confused. Another I met a childhood friend.
can I just say your food becoming like poison is not a good way to lose weight
I would stand in my pantry surrounded by food and nearly everything that I could eat I would have had to cook .
the fridge is a lost cause unless there is jelly or coconut ice treats
sometimes I might eat a cookie and it goes straight through me but not before making my lips and tongue hurt
Right there with you. Though my range is a bit more limited. Be careful what you wish for huh :(
Hmm… Carpet shampooer can’t exactly clean the cat tree and I don’t want to throw it out. I found a multi steamer on Amazon for $150. It could be useful for this plus the next plague this cursed realm sends me.
I’m wondering if I should sell some of my existing stuff to declutter a bit and recoup some money. But that means dealing with the public. And I would have to fix some stuff which I don’t have the energy to do.
Decisions can wait until I’m feeling less stressed
Oh my poor kitties. The auto feeder is not dispensing what it should. No wonder they have been total cupboard goblins!
The machines are uprising
Okay so I may have stayed up a bit too late watching Mentour Pilot on yt. This is satiating my aircraft investigations craving.
I have never felt safer on a plane now, honestly.
Looks interesting. It was a mistake watching these before I went on a plane though.
Next time I will watch them on the plane!
moar bed 🤕
Walk a blockie for mental health and bone density… detour to avoid crazy neighbour… spy a familiar voidish form in the alley. Should not have walked there. Sure enough when I get home and shut the door he saunters past and hangs out a bit. Tough love is hard. I’ve stopped feeding or interacting with the cat and try to avoid him now I know he has owners. Trying to encourage him to stay at home and get cared for by his people. But I am keeping an eye on his condition.
just under an hour ago about five fire engines and multiple ambulances / MICA just went flying up Chesterville road. Anyone seen any news on what happened?
Most emergencies get sent more cars than you might expect, so it’s likely not as serious or newsworthy as all the action seems to indicate.
Here’s the pager callout for 10.30 this morning:
@@ALERT 03407 IN 1A VEHICLE INTO STRUCTURE - TRAPPED CNR CHESTERVILLE RD/SOUTH RD MOORABBIN M 77 K5 (296994) AFPRS MCHA PODHR PT29 T10A TOPSNA FGD17 [FS29_]
You can check here directly if you’re curious: vicpagers.net.au
nope, that one isn’t it. I live near that corner, they were coming out of it and heading up towards the opposite end of chesty - southland end.
Nothing I can see out that way now. Probably a report of a car accident, that always gets lots of trucks hurtling and most of the time turns out to not be as bad as initial reports indicated and they all turn around and go home again.
yeah we’re kinda a thoroughfare for emergency vehicles, but this was a BIG lot. Like last time I saw that many was the battery fire.
I check VicEmergency when I hear a bunch of sirens.
I’m addicted to this game called Triple Match City. It’s like a Where’s Wally where you gotta beat the clock. Such fun.
No no no no no no I do not need to know about this. I will not look it up.
… how ad heavy is it?
No ads.

Of course two days before a trip I get the worst period I’ve had in months. Pain, mess and crying.
But on the other hand… two days until a trip!
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Mega sympathy! I’m much enjoying dealing with that less often, but the lack of predictability makes the emotional suckfulness much harder to keep in check. Easier to not be blubbering mega bitch when you know that’s the reason
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Mine’s pretty regular but still get blindsided by the emotional disaster I become for a few hours until it clicks. Stupid brain.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
No show for 150 days. Started celebrating. Ready to burn the old ningies. Then bang. Fuck. Pass the choccies and don’t talk to me. I was so dirty.
Eagle@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Hopefully it means the worst of it is out of the way!
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
🤞 🤞 🤞 I should have known when I was trying to do a wordsearch last night and just found myself listlessly staring at the page for half an hour.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Typical. Mine loves a good holiday and usually waits until I’m away. Especially if I’m doing something awkward like camping somewhere that doesn’t have toilets.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Gotta love that, it’s a talent of the body!
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Ooo I hate that!!! Periods have such poor fucking timing🤦♀️
I’m so excited for you and your trip tho!!! EEEEEEEE!!!
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Thank you! ME TOOOOOO. Much rest and relaxation is planned.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
it’s because you are relaxed and have less stress hormones
annoying but true
travel often makes periods worse because sitting in very upright positions for long times increases blood pressure to lower half of body
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I haven’t started the travel, so the stress is still hiiiigh. Leaving in under 48hr, won’t even pack until we’re a few hours from leaving. Thankfully the flight isn’t pretty short!
Taleya@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
i know flight absolutely fucked with my cycle. If I was on the rag, it stopped. if I wasn’t, it started.
