Melbourne

I'm very perplexed. The man came home from work sick "What's wrong?" "I don't know everything hurts and I'm tired". Right. The kid and I have developed a dry cough and dry throat very similar to hayfever apart from those and slight body aches which can come from coughing but nothing else. It was a high pollen day yesterday. Hayfever or something else? I'm not sure.

Update: the man has tested positive to the covid.

I am now being tested.

Update 2: I and the kid are negative. We will test again tomorrow.

Love this time of the evening in summer. The angle of the sun is just perfect for highlighting the dust on every horizontal surface in my home. 😍 #blessed

I'm feeling helpless about how shit the world is getting. Not only war and climate change and nazis/fascism rising again. But things like food and housing are becoming so unaffordable, and there is very little that can be done about it by the people it most affects.

There is small scale stuff like pitching in to community food gardens, rewilding, cleaning off swastikas, or volunteering with Food Not Bombs but it seems naive and useless in the face of the sheer scale of cunts continuing to fuck everything up. At a certain point you just cannot pick up the slack.

Also my mental health is tanking and I'm literally not able to do much physically. I guess I just stick my head in the sand to try and care for myself the the best I can?

These bad bwoys are about to go:

Neighbour came over yesterday (she has amazing roses) had a look and flexed a bit "oh they're a bit slow this year dear".

Loud O Lady downstairs decided it was a fine day for a rare 1:30pm screw, which is great for her except I was in a work meeting and have a very good microphone.

Fuck I feel shit. Friday night drinks have been postponed. Someone has brought great shame to this family.

I had to put the bins out. I don't know if it's correct. Please mr/ms garbo please take my bins.

Ohhh everyone's smoking a big ol' bowl of crack today i see

word: cordial
pronunciation: Cor dee ol
American version: Cor jol
What my mind wants to say: cor Dial

Looking at the weather in melbs right now I am perhaps okay with the weather here right now, sure it's 27.7C with 80% humidity but it's cloudy; with a fan going and my airism t shirt and short linen shorts it's not too bad. Very holiday esque. Hard to believe this was all I knew for 20 years of my life

How dare PTV change my bus route. Now I can't tram in, I have to catch the train to Southern Cross.

I swear, if they start doing level crossing removals during work hours, I will scream.

:)

The new netflix doco series 'Life on our planet' is seriously beautiful viewing. The cinematography is next level.

The kid's gone to shops for us and now it's my turn to spam her with texts. If I time it right I should get maximum pay backs.

Hail

How are there new meth addicts? Don't people know by now it's really bad?

( just came back from shopping and saw a few really hyper addicts in the streets.

It's great digging weather today, but I am just so over moving soil ☹️.

What an awkward, mentally tiring day. Just when I think I've had a "win" I realise I've actually had 2-5 days worth of "loss".

Kicking back & watching Patheon season 1 on Prime. Really enjoying it. Distraction and blankets help.

New trick everybody.

Let's say you have a shitload of dripper hose that you need to straighten quickly. Tie one end around a tree, unravel the coil walking away from the tree so it's vaguely straight, then give it a good pull so it's taut for 30 seconds and hey presto it's straight. much more efficient than laying it out in the currently non-existant sun.

*existent.. I swear my spelling has just fallen off a cliff since rona due to either getting rona or the shitposting in lockdown :(

Hey all. Has anyone seen any saliva COVID tests on their travels recently? Kidcalhoon2 just can't do the nasal tests... I've checked almost all chemists in the Thornbury, Preston, reservoir, Brunswick area....

I live in Brisbane but really want to move to Melbourne. Is it actually as progressive and inclusive as everyone says?

Well looks like interest rates are going to go up at the next RBA meeting.

i tempted the rain gods and lost

Didn't realise how not worn in my leather shoes are because I didnt really have to wear them in my old job, heals have been shredded.

One thing that is a blessing and/or curse of having PTSD due to abuse is that after some time I can tell who is walking due to the sound of their steps. But now I can tell the sound of my boss' car engine.

😭😭😭 What the fuck brain!
