That’s freaking terrifying. I hate that festering pustules like this can have so much power. Hope he gets put away for a good while

Helped aunt out with what turned out to be some rather disastrous painting of some old cabinetry with wall paint and wall tiles with metal paint. I am not good at this but it was fun helping out and tidying out some insanely messy areas. The place looks so different now, absolutely not suitable for old people but I’ll be sad to see it go and not get to visit them there. Anyway I’m properly pooped. Psyched to get some house chores smashed tomorrow though

If people message me with that and nothing else I assume they don’t have any serious questions, and I will not respond until I have nothing else to do (or they get around to that they want first). Dafuq, I’m not your girlfriend responding to booty calls (you up?)

(Clothes) drying rack. My mum used to call it a “screen”, I think that was specific to where and when she grew up. Clothes horse I didn’t really hear until I moved to Australia. I still find it delightfully quaint tbh.
Side note: I find a lot of older school drying racks here unnecessarily complicated with the lower racks and weird folding mechanisms. Probably a hangover of most people living in larger homes and not as much pressure to design a more compact and less fussy rack. Yes, haha, “rack”…

Made the decision to reschedule my uni meeting to next week. I am telling myself it’s not because I’m a slacker but because I’m a grown-up who is sensible about pacing and recharging. I’m only just starting to feel like a human again today. I’ve volunteered to help an aunt clean their house tomorrow before a sale, to fill up the physical activity/service/connection buckets.
Also feeling increasingly glad about putting up a hard barrier to work stuff - kind of chuffed that the universe fubared my work laptop (appears it will now need to be nuked as nobody knows who enabled bitlocker, probably a previous employee. Thankfully we have everything important on OD/SP). I told people I might check emails, I think I won’t be now!

I too had vivid dreams last night!.. mine involved being at my childhood home, my beloved aunt was there but so was my creepy dad; I was a young adult supposed to be flying to the UK but running late for my flight and realised I hadn’t booked any accommodation… not the best dream ever. Luckily I woke up feeling rested and relaxed. First time in weeks I’ve slept this well??

No, it’s the Greens goddammit! Pauline wouldn’t put up with curry. She’s the original f&c proprietor

Yes, I grabbed some frozen cluster beans as well (I always have a craving for this but you can’t ever get it fresh here). All in all a good outcome. Next two weeks will be busy so f&c remains an option then.

Thank you all for voting in the f&c vs. home salmon competition. Your input was greatly appreciated in assisting with this monumental decision. Strong start for the f&c party but some very compelling arguments for home salmon later in the day. I was changing my mind every 5 mins. My entire ethics and personality were at stake…
However, i regret to betray everyone’s enthusiasm and inform you all that out of nowhere a third, unexpected candidate appeared about an hour into my salon experience and increasingly gained on the others despite a complete lack of campaigning. In the end, for the reasons outlined below, I went with this reliable third party.
The winner: fish curry and calamari masala from MKS Spices.
please find below my reasoning for this upsetting result
* Haircut got delayed by halfa. * Google maps showed a 30 min plus drive back and the f&c wasn’t going to stay fresh. * Didn’t want to eat at the shop and get full whack of traffic. * But also increasingly convinced I didn’t want to cook tonight after waiting so long. Wanted to eat as soon as I got home and not have to brave my local overstimulating shops. Did not want to clean up oil etc after frying salmon. Got started on an ebook that I wanted to get back to straight away. * Developed craving for spice due to unexpected pangs of comfort-seeking. * F&c is everywhere but MKS-style food is few and far between. Unlikely I’d go for weeks. * MKS was just a 4 min drive away and didn’t add much to my overall travel time. * Remembered I needed to buy frozen green chillies anyway. * Bought like 3 meals worth of food (sans rice) for like $25 * Had leftover rice at home * Bonus: got to buy some fresh string hoppers to eat over the weekend (definitely not easy to get anywhere else near town).
thank you and please enjoy your respective dinners. 🍽️ 🍛 🍲

Chilling in Pender Park before my haircut. This is a pretty cute little park, great trees, gorgeous in the autumn sun.
Help me decide, should I get f&c nearby the salon after my haircut or should I go buy some salmon to pan fry with some air fryer chips? I’m a bit loathe to cook and clean but it might also be good for me nervous system to do something with my hands and I can probably get more salmon for less $ if I do it myself. Otoh, I’m not that tight for cash atm and I kind of like the dopamine hit of the f&c. I have plenty of time to bulk cook this weekend.

What a noob. Don’t you know that Fuggleslap firmware won’t grind with Blorkfoot cantilevered architecture because the pit sequence is base-eleven? Smdh don’t know what they teach in schools these days.

Work laptop is out of my hands as I don’t have the bitlocker key. Boss said to just leave the unfinished work with everyone else and to go focus on uni… Thanks, universe! One less excuse to procrastinate. I’m still feeling off kilter and lethargic as fuck. Haircut later this arvo. I should do some uni work today before tomorrow’s meeting but we’ll see… I kinda need to get out of this funk and recharge properly. Looks like a good day for a walk and a nap under a tree

WA the best beaches, the eastern states can go suck it. Seeing the sun set over the ocean AND the sand is gorgeous AND it’s not freezing cold… so good.
(Okay I’m talking mostly SW WA, no idea what the beaches are like up north)

Yeah, I have the same issue (shower tap is the worst). Old pipes be old. I have to remember to run it for a while before using - luckily water is included in rent at my current place!

It might be just me but that sounds like the name of some really bad Pornhub upload that somehow makes it all worse…
I can’t get access to the bitlocker key for this laptop to roll back the update or do anything so I’m just gonna leave it with IT to sort out. NMP!

I think it was just like normal sensitivity that got ramped up to extra after psych (I got some good stuff off my chest but also brought up some tense stuff).
I did have a moment of calming tf down on the drive back where I squeezed in a moment of observing my emotions with warmth “ah, there’s the wound up toy!” and it’s made a huge difference. but no more taxing the brain for tonight

Thank you 💓 I pushed on with another hour of discomfort to resolve the urgent work issue I was gonna do on my work laptop, by doing it on my personal one instead (at least I worked out the bug and reported it so I feel a sense of closure and satisfaction).
Now it is time for comfort food and tv show. and maybe I’ll call/message my aunt who is with my mum. My work laptop is fubar atm so I think of it as a sign from the universe to just stop.

Too frazzled and flustered to get my promised salmon. I can’t handle any more changes of environment after psych session. I feel sensitive to every possible thing that could go wrong. I found a fix to something I urgently need to do at work. Now I’m stuck in a BSOD boot loop… Joy… the error message is CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED which sounds somewhat apt.
