  I had such a good day yesterday. It’s really rare that I’ll have a day that starts good and stays good all day

  When I woke up I realised I woke up too early and could sleep for another hour, which strangely made me happy, and it was kind of cold in my room so it was so cozy in my bed. Then I went for a walk and it was a nice temp. My bus ran on time, my train was on time and less busy than usual, my tram ran on time and had lots of seats.

  I went to an advocacy training thing for kids in out of home care, and found out that it leads to lots of exciting positions that actually pay a decent amount (I was under the impression that it was all volunteer). I had a great time + free lunch. I asked like a thousand questions, and it seems like a great opportunity to do something that actually seems to make a difference and affect the course of legislature and government policy, which seems like a much more rewarding field to work in then selling people grease burgers in sugar buns

  Cross fingers for me everyone - I just put an offer in on the unit I want to buy.
  I was going to do it tomorrow after my aunt and I had another look, but I went to another OFI at the last minute and a woman with a family was very keen, so I got my offer in. Hopefully the fact that my offer is unconditional (inspection done, finance sorted) will give me the edge!

    They’re dirty little bastards. I’ve watched them fight over a piece of fruit, spit it out, gnaw on the seed, toss then start on another piece. I think they use the seed to sharpen their beaks.

    A swarm of them got into my neighbour’s tree a few years back. Not sure what sort of fruit it was but they all fell on my roof and created a massive racket early one morning.

    I think they’ve removed that tree now though as I haven’t had a repeat of it since.

    Booo for stealing all your fruit though.

  Yo whaddap guys I’m awake before 10am and am going to steady my nerves and start refining my CV today before I get sucked into some other form of media.

  Also clean the fuck out of the mess I left in the kitchen yesterday.

  And accept the fact that I may have thrips on this peace lily I inherited from my deceased neighbour and need to do something about it stat, even though it feels futile. Eco-oil is all I have at the moment, guess I’ll try that.

  I’ve been neglecting the plants. Most of the spinnos are gone, the two remaining starting to bolt. Everything else is alive.

  I pulled up the biggest carrots to make room for the rest to grow. I haven’t been keeping up on the fertiliser so they’re a bit slow growing and small. Tiny even.

  But they look like little round carrots and have a strong carrot smell.

  Thank goodness I have tomorrow off. Boss has been a hard taskmaster this week and I’m knackered. It made me feel old and sad, that I can’t work at the pace of a workaholic man a couple of years younger than me🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ About 80% of this first week back seemed to consist of things I haven’t done before, and I really tried to be as helpful as possible but didn’t really nail it. I guess I work to live and not the other way around.

      I’m in WA. It didn’t really hit here until Omicron. 18 months after everyone else. And by then, we were all pretty-much vaccinated.

  I went to a Korean place for lunch (oriental spoon on Elizabeth St). I had always assumed it would be average and overpriced due to its really good location. I was wrong! It was relatively cheap, $18 lunch special Bento Box which was huge - had bulgogi, spriNg rolls, fried chicken, salad. I got a serve of beef bulgogi on a sizzling plate, it came with rice and the side dishes of kimchi etc. it was $22 and ENOURMOUS, and delicious! I’m guessing like 400g of just beef, definitely meant for two people. I somehow ate it all which baffled my dining companion. 8.5/10. Food coma worth it

  Feeling rather ordinary today, between the infection itself, the antibiotics and the tetanus injection. At least I don’t have to go anywhere.

  Grocery shopping done.

  Going to treat myself to a latte as that’s something I can’t make at home.

  It’s unusually warm in this shopping centre already, almost like they don’t have the aircon on.

  Amazed I’m awake as I didn’t sleep much last night.

  Hoping for today to be a really good day.

  Awake early and was stressing. What’s the best oven cleaner to use? Is gumption ok? Have a can of bam or something also. Oven has a cycle to moisten the inside but that’s it.

  source

  • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I usually leave it too long between oven cleans, and I don’t have the will to sit there scrubbing, so I go straight for the strongest stuff. I use one of those spray on foam oven cleaners. Warning: it’s stinky and irritating so you’ll need to open a window and have fan on. Follow the instructions on the can and it will get the job done, oven will sparkle.

    Gumption would be ok as long as you rinse it thoroughly. I’d refrain from using anything stronger.

  “Fire and police services were called to the Free Choice Tobacconist on Pier St, Altona in Melbourne’s south west about 4am after the alleged arson was witnessed by members of the public. Police believe the arsonists threw jerry cans through the smashed front window of the shop before setting it alight.”

  What the fuck is going on in Melbourne? This following two firebombings of ice cream shops in Williamstown makes me think we need to change the number plate slogan - “Victoria - the crime state”

  Skincare enthusiasts. Please recommend me a moisturizer for my face. Currently I just use the sunscreen on my face - Beauty of Joseon something, a friend made me buy it 💁‍♂️ and I really like the finish as it’s not shiny. I think I have combination skin (t zone is oily I guess?)

  15 tortillas have now been made. I now know that it takes an average of 3 minutes per tortilla to roll & cook. Normally I only make a couple at a time, this was way more than I have done in one go before. I have gone a bit overboard for three people, but anticipate lots of yummy leftovers.

  I’m so tired and still a bit sick. But crawling out of my skin with boredom and understimulation. There’s plenty to do but nothing is quite satisfying or able to hold my attention. This heat feels sticky.

  Between my physical energy and my feral neighbours I can’t even go for a walk.

  The cat won’t let me back into the bed so I’m just going to take the end and try to have another nap.

  Taco Thursday preps are almost complete. Just tortilla making to go. I have lots of little containers in the fridge: carnitas (the meat), lime-pickled onion, sliced jalapeno, roasted tomato salsa, lime & yoghurt sauce and pico de gallo. I will just slice the avocado rather than doing guacamole. I also have individual servings of caramel flan for desert.

  Moobeans keeps being fussy and not leading me to what she wants… turns out she keeps eating a hole in her biscuits. Heaps left though.

  I had raised the bowl to see if that’s more comfortable but it might be too high for her to comfortably eat anywhere but the middle. She also had a lot of wet food today, seems hungrier in general

  Thoughts on the rumour that Costco Docklands is closing?

  I kind of think it’s a good riddance. The inner city is ill suited for an automotive dependant single story superstore.
