Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Fucking cleaning took so long even with the help of a friend because there was still Stuff that took long rob to load. Wish I didn't have overdue stuff to do at work this morning.

But i am really, truly, for sure this time 99% done - every last thing has been cleaned except the kitchen and second bedroom floor, it was too late for a vacuum. Tomorrow lunchtime i shall mop, take exit photos, drop off the keys and be done with moving out.

... next stage is moving in... I live in a fortress of bags and boxes. But first, my car is loaded up with shit that needs donating including a neglected bike (with good parts). Gonna try and temporarily store it at work so I don't need to be driving around with a whole ass bike in the back for the next few days.

Also, the check tyre pressure light came on even though I got a new tyre. More headaches! Rahhhh!

Good night everyone..

Often that light will come on after a change because it just needs to be reset. Pop into a servo and check the tires and if they seem ok there'll be a way to reset the sensor.

And cheers in advance for handing back the keys ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

One warm mince pie with cream and Bailey's custard. I could go another one.

Ok maybe I did.

Had a really helpful session with the psych today. Talked a lot about why I am struggling to let go of stress and work and gave me some good exercises to help getting some structure back and some boundaries (for me). I picked out this time. She is kind but not afraid to suggest stuff - which is good. Practical.

Step one. Back to decent bedtimes. Night all. โ™ฅ๏ธ

Night night. Sleep well

Had a massive day, just sat down to go through the happenings of the DT. Two days in a row not WFH is a shock to the system, Iโ€™ve become such a home working slob. Quick wind down then off to bed as I gotta do it all again tomorrow. ๐Ÿ˜ด

Hello peeps

How goes it?

Edit: love you all, thanks for the welcomes! Have a photo of the cat that comes to visit me sometimes, most recently a few days ago!

You're back! Fucking grouse man! This is such a tight little group, you know some people miss you when you're not here. I had to look at trains because you weren't here. I mean, I look at them anyway, but I thought of you and wondered if you were also train enjoying. Well, were you?

Edit; had alcoholic ginger beer at a park near a train station, sorry for effusive language. I'm ok.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Ay thanks!

Actually, no, not really. I caught a train home on Halloween (after a bit of a tiki tour around on the trams), but that's about it

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Oh well, plenty of time yet!

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago (5 children)

I'm heading off on vacay next week, so I'll have plenty of time to catch trains then

Even plotting a trip to the railway museum, if they decide to be open

Good to see you back. You missed strawberry day, but are just in time for golden syrup pudding ๐Ÿฎ

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago

THERE'S A STRAWBERRY DAY AND I MISSED IT??!?!?!?

(Maybe for the best. I forgot that I garden, and let my strawberries die, and went from a dense forest planter box of dozens down to 2 green sprouts I'm not entirely sure aren't weeds. I'm a fraud)

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It's great to see you back here. It must mean things are going well again

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Cheers Tom! Things are going better, I've been seeing a psych regularly, and am moving out next month. A little spooky, but it'll be nice to be like... A proper tenant with rights and all that fun stuff. The only downside is power companies are confusing, and I'll have bills

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

That's good to hear. There are told or there to help you compare prices because utilities are so ridiculous now, and there are no incentives to reward loyalty, so you can get the best deals by jumping around and changing company all the time

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah. At the moment I don't have much choice because I'm still under 18, apparently origin let me sign up with the assistance of an adult. They're exactly at the default offer, which I don't think is good because there were plenty of places that were under it. In any case, I've just got a little under 4 months to go, so that's like 1 and a bit bills

Once I turn 18, electricity, gas, and internet are probably all being changed every time I find somebody cheaper

I'm also BakuToo now, I'm not sure if I'll switch back to AZ yet, or stay on my SJW account, but just know I'm a real Baku, too!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago

Confirmed, this is me

Stupid packages havenโ€™t been sent on the same day.

I hope the one delayed arrives by Friday or else itโ€™s going to get wet. :(

I feel terribly cold, suppose I better go back to bed

good night all ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜

Working from home feels like a rest after such a big weekend. I want to focus though so I can work on other things the rest of this week

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours ago

Digging holes...filling holes.

What comes outta one hole goes in another....

Finished work early and.. just didn't feel like going home straight away. So I'm having a cheeky can of alco ginger beer in a part of a local park not frequented by children and their company or youths (I dislike drinking around children and will actively avoid it). Might have an extra can too. Because fuck it, that's why!

Turd burgers! Ripped the stocking I bought an hour ago

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Stockings suck. I gave them all to a mate of mine to practise cricket on the clothes line.

Why dis wind sooo cool on such a lovely day?

Been asked like 3 x if Iโ€™m going riding, but I have my sooky pants on.

Just want to say thank you all again for the support yesterday. Truly a supportive space here with great advice. After going into the eye and ear today for a follow up her schedule has reduced which means less refusal and it's going to be a bit easier for her.
