Melbourne

so, who knew, but I have been going through some stuff lately and it turns out you lot are my safe space. I love you awesome nerds!

Cheers everyone 🍺

Happy 21st birthday @[email protected] 🍺

It's book release day!. Yay!

Today was a new record, woke up at 7:30 but didn't leave the bed - not even to go to the bathroom - until 6pm. I have completely checked out of all my obligations and requirements today... wasn't gonna make me feel better with no food or water, but I don't feel substantially worse either.

At least I've got dinner with me now - a nice hearty Moroccan tagine packed with veggies, and some pappadums - dragged the laptop back to the bedroom and gonna binge watch stuff until I fall asleep. Maybe I'll start with the movie CODA since I've been on an apple+ run lately (🏴‍☠️, of course)

I think this is my body just going "you sorted out the car and job. NOW RELAX"

It's crazy how much power a dream can have on us.

Had one with my old man in it and I was a kid.

Felt the exact same terror I felt when I was that age. There's this look he'd give me and I knew I was absolutely fucked.

I woke up semi hyper ventilating.

Even after all this time, even as a grown man, you never forget that stuff I guess.

Today shall be known as “International Unholy Amount of Gravy Bucket Friday Day”

Mark your calendars and secure your chippies.

It's that time of the evening. There's more work that needs to be done, but that's next week's problem.

Now it's time for wine and pizza

If I were Prime Minister, I would make it law that if a Public Holiday falls on a Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday, than the rest of the week is also a day off. Who has the motivation to work today?

I believe birthday wishes are due to @[email protected]

Good news: the auction place will take most of the furniture that can't fit into the new place that I don't want.
Bad news: I have to take it myself.
Good news: it should fit into the new car, and my lawn guy and occasional helper will drop by and help me load up the car.
Bad news: trying to get my Google profile for the business verified and none of the methods work. This is frustrating as I'm using the practice room as a sorting hub after I cleared it yesterday.
Good news: I stress cleared the pile of crap I scooped off the floor and slung into a very large bag and most of it is now in the bin.
Bad news: I have a headache bordering on a migrane and I really can't stop to indulge it.
Good news: the old cooking chocolate seems to be helping. ;)

Shit neighbours are having a loud bluey outside.

Time to go out there and glare at them.

Yes, I've done it before.

Yes, they're scared of me.

Fucking Australian banks. I've been overseas for some time now and international transactions have worked, grab app has made several deductions.

Get to my last hotel. They attempt a prepayment of just under 300 aud. Bank denies transaction. No reason given. Fucks sake.

Fortunately I had my Transfer Wise card with me which worked just fine.

New snack unlocked:

A cracker, put on some franks hawt sauce, put on cheddar cheese, put on sriracha, put on a little bit of spring onion, put on finely sliced chilli, put on a dollop of plum sauce and a dollop of sweet soy (all very small amounts). Bit of cracked black pepper on top...

Where you been all my life.

Looky what I bought at IGA

Someone has jettisoned the motivation module. I have notified Mission Control and initiated a strong cappuccino procedure.

@Seagoon_ @melbourne So I stopped by Priceline while I was at the shops to pick up some foundation.

On my way home, I noticed that I got the one that's a shade darker than I normally get.

Then when I got home, I realised that I had made the exact same mistake last time.

The moral of the story? If you're going to be a careless idiot, it pays to at least be consistent.

I need some advice because I lack the most basic of social awareness:

I've been texting someone, only a couple of times so far, but I have just realised I've spelled their name wrong the two times I've used it (has a j instead of a y. The y-version is the one I've always seen so I guess I skipped over it). I feel bad and I know it makes me feel awkward if someone gets my name wrong. I want to apologise but then I feel like if I bring it up, I'm bringing attention to something they maybe not noticed?

Even my stubby holder confirms the correct term: PARMA!

Never ever will I call it a -shudder- parmi 🤢

PSA: Dine cat food is half price at $4.50 for 7×85g at Coles this week. Meow Meow

Launchpad is clear. Initiate countdown sequence.

When my husband and I started going out together, sometime last century, we would grab some f&cs and sit in a park somewhere. We'd declare it "International Fish & Chip Saturday Day". So my question of the day is what would your International celebration day be and when?

Checking in from the prom. It’s cool yo! Not as busy as I expected either.

I know all the arguments for keeping cash in the economy, but after being forced to use it for nearly two weeks I have to admit it's awfully convenient to not have to carry it 99% of the time in Australia.

I’m going to regret it but I need a warm drink.

Going to make an instant coffee.
