Melbourne

Using up the last of my leave today.

Yeeha!

Well there you go, a random rock melon (I think) in the flower patch. Never had much luck with them in the past but since I have no idea how it got there it'll probably work out.

Development out the back. They built a fence (a few of them) Looks like good work and this doesn't really impact me as it's the neighbours' place but..

Far right post. Neighbours' fence is falling over and the blokes that built the new one for the development put the last post at the angle of the fence that's in the middle of collapse. lol.

New rug has arrived. Cat ownership claiming in process.

Kind of surprising how often I reach for my phone to check on reddit when I've got a spare moment. I deleted the shortcuts so I'm not following through with the habit, but dam is the urge still there to go waste time. Only been a week so far but I feel it's had more of an impact than quitting booze or weed.

I really wish the BOM hadn't taken its radar offline for the next few days.

Thanks to all the people who replied to my wall of overwhelm yesterday. I listened to a podcast about intuition vs anxiety, and I realised that a lot of it is just anxiety. My intuition hasn't really been strong on this. I am going to appraise this as a challenge and am excited to get out of my comfort zone :) if this doesn't work out, that's when I'll worry.

2nd last week of work....my engagement is nearly negative

Managers still ask me for stuff but it's all along the lines 'If you can be bothered it'd be great'

Still leaving on a high note!

Not much wave action tonight but was lurvly out there tonight.

Here's a cloud instead.

I have just come to the realisation that the personal challenges brought on by climate change makes it harder to cope with the enshittification of politics and massive corporatisation

who's got the energy to fight fascism and google when we have heat waves , cyclones , flooding, etc

I'll still do it but i'm tired already

I have gymed, in THIS. Kill me

I ended up in a major fight with my overlocker this morning, but I am one step closer to finishing my project to shorten the sleeves on my work jacket. I was so agravated by the process of rethreading a broken lower looper I had to take a break in order to maintain my sanity.

Once that is out of the way I get to start on the cushions. Hopefully Miss Meow won't try to help too much.

Edit: sleeves have now been shortened. Miss Meow has thoroughly examined the sewing room, and after unexpectedly falling into a box she expected to be landing on top of she has decided to shun the area for a while.

I'm incredibly moody and I hate it.

The cool change couldn't come fast enough.

Bah, boss is away on a busy day. Looks like I have to make up for doing nothing yesterday.

I watched The Substance. Whaaaaaat did I just subject my eyeballs to.

My dinner was outstanding

Heyo

If I had cods they would've sweated off by now.

You are cordially invited to take a look at Saturday’s weather.

sky pretty

Just a tease of rain while being sound bombed by thunder at school pickup.

Desperate for a cool change.

Raaaaaain

Last night's exhaustion nap also fucked me up, couldn't sleep till 2am. So, so tired this morning and had a plumber appt at 730am but he was missing a part and has had to go to Bunnings... no chance of me getting to site early today to beat the traffic ._.

The library has been bountiful. I have returned some books, and left with more than I came with.

Dammit.

Cool change seems to have arrived early here in Fitz. 22degrees and as long as the sun stays hidden I'll be happy.

Feeling sad as… I wish I had the space and physical ability to be making a big garden and building shit

I would have dragged those free pallets I saw home and built Melbcat a palace

I came prepared with a jacket today! Me - 1, freezing office AC - 0. Feels ridiculous wearing a jacket when it's so warm out.

Okay, the nap fucked me sleep up. Ima have a coffee, read a few SCPs, and then study.

Is anyone else's Fluffball having a hard time with the weather?

In-person interview this morning. I'm running on about 3 hours sleep and my hair's not behaving. We'll see how this goes.

Edit: and I've arrived and noticed a stain on my dress. Maybe it'll be a bad dress rehearsal, great opening night deal?

Seems like a big shake up of DT job sitch atm.

It could be worse

I am SO excited for invincible tomorrow night. I think it could be my favorite show at this point. If you are still sleeping on it dont.

Had to pull the pin an hour earlier than I normally would at work because with two consecutive nights of very bad sleep and all the heat and exhaustion I just couldn't do it any more (and we'd come to a natural point to stop for the day and not start a new section).

Please for the love of all that is holy I hope I get a good night's sleep tonight. I also found out my thesis/presentation are due a lot earlier than I thought and although I'm applying for special consideration I'm a bit anxious that I won't get it all done in time after all. Or I'll have to take more time off work I guess

Not gonna stress about it right now. Right now, is cold shower and brain blackout time.
