new computer is fucking sweet. having to buy a bunch of new peripherals for it is less fucking sweet but i'm getting there
Just went past the Melbourne Recital Centre on the tram and saw that there was a huge amount of prams parked outside, and immediately I knew, the wiggles are performing there.
I've got something a little weird going on with my feelings.
Things with bar guy are going relatively well. However, suddenly I feel nervous around him and going on dates? I don't know what's happening.
oooo auspost wanna play funny buggers? I've got an ASD fixation and a tendency towards cuntishness. I guarantee those fuckers I'm a lot better at funny buggers than they are
(cunce decided to not only not even attempt a driveby for delivery, or even use a local LPO literally across the road, or even the parcel centre two blocks up but drop a small, letter-box stuffable parcel of cat fountain filters in a parcel locker in the next fucking suburb)
Figured out the Mlem app, thanks to whoever suggested it! Still getting to understand the fediverse but happy to be here!
Our little avatar thingos turned into square shape. ? I didn’t receive memo.
Cleaned the bathroom yesterday which was nice. Tonight - the kitchen.
My new goal is to not spend enough time on Twitter to hit the ridiculous 600 tweet limit. Reddit and Twitter really have done me a solid and forced me to reduce my social media engagement.
Back is still painful. Got a corset. It helps. lots of sleeping and resting.
When I was growing up my parents always said "there's no such thing as a stupid question" or "you don't learn if you don't ask questions". So now I feel bad when I see questions being posted on reddit and I think "that's a stupid question. Im not even going to reply to that". Like I get that some people were given the unfortunate parents stick and weren't taught stuff but we have internet now guys. We can research. We can ask questions before we ask strangers.

Now I want you try to tell me how I lookTell me, please tell me how I look
Fantastic Man - William Onyeabor
Cheering myself up with some afro-funk from 1979 Nigeria; the elusive William Onyeabor and his funkedelic bop.
Edit: Thank you for your sweet words, DT.
Forces of Nature, saints and sinners:
Admire yourselves in your mirrors!
One-of-a-kind human-wonders,
Of carbon and magic, lightning and thunder.
Finally got an inbox with the new Mlem app update. Yay! Looking profesh now.
I ate chicken crimpys together with actual chicken. I’m right in the zone now.
Yikes. Went to the shop and forgot about the whole hyperosmia things after a headcold which hit today. Walked past someone on the street and that perfume was way intense for at least 50m after walking past them.
On the plus side you do get nice nature / tree / plant smells. Would be nice to have that sort of upper respiratory stuff in spring. Would smell delicious.
Thanks Witchy-poo for conjuring up this thread.
I honestly had no idea it was 3:20 already. I thought it was like two-ish? Wow, bring on home time! Which for me is in less than half an hour! 🥳
Glad it's finally (pretty much) dinner time. I've gone through a third of a pack of vitaweats again.
Back to work after a week off (which became overshadowed by my ear infection). I’d checked my email on Friday and thought I’d dodged the anticipated “welcome back!” Email with a list of extra shit to do in addition to my existing workload. Nope…it’s there, just been sent at 7pm. Ugh.
