Ooh...I feel ... Oxygenated. That's cool. Score 1 CPAP Con full face masks are not fun but not as bad as I feared.

Good morning everyone 😎

Back in melbs.

I miss my bestie down the beach.

She came inside yesterday and hopped up on the kitchen bench (hasn't happened before) and just stood there when I was cleaning up. Honestly she's more domesticated than a cat or dog. Zero need to chase her out of the house. Found her something to eat, walked outside and she followed at walking pace with no stress. I swear they're evolving.

I wish I could sit on my 3rd cat tower and glare menacingly at someone until they give me treats.

Oh yes

The team lead at my woolies is stupidly hot, and I hate it because he's so damn hot. Dammit.

Had a big (for me) adventure today. Took the Minipeelers to Melbourne Central and had a wander around and look at things. Went into the Emporium part and had lunch at the Schnitz (kids choice) upstairs. I liked the upstairs part, it was cleaner and quieter than the other food courts in the main part.

At some point Elder asked if we could visit the museum and I thought, ok, why not? So we went there and Miniest let it drop that Elder was really keen to see the Lego Star Wars exhibition, so we saw that. It's pretty cool, lots of displays and a couple of good interactive displays. One of them you make your own fighter space ship thing and put it in a machine which scans it and then projects it flying through space on a big screen. Another one, you make your own lightsaber, attach a receiver to it and stand in front of a screen which shows it glowing, and you can download the picture. There was also a part where you do a bit of Lego and it goes towards a big mural. Warning to anyone who takes kids: you have to leave via a pop-up star wars retail space (I saw a few tantrums!). The theme cafe was ok (could've done better with star wars themed food ideas) but I was hanging for a coffee by that point and any port in a storm I reckon!

Then we walked back to Melb Central and got Cinnabon to take home. Wish I could remember the name of the scroll place that used to be at Melbourne Central about 20+ years ago, it was the same kind of thing but heaps more types of scrolls and was really popular. Does anyone here remember?

Fire alarm. FFS.

I’m going back to bed 😠

I got put in Reddit jail hehe

It's nice to sleep with my own pillow and blankets again. 🤗

why the fuck is it only thursday

It took me all day of getting distracted and bullshit avoidance strategies, but I've finally booked the campervan. That's the biggest hurdle over. I splurged an extra $300 for a newer model that has cruise control even though I don't like the layout as much and it's not as spacious. My right knee isn't the greatest these days so I am not putting it through 1000s of kms solo.

I'm just going to book campsites tomorrow because my brain is fried. I will definitely feel a lot more excited about this once all the bookings are over!

Been really depressed lately, not helped by the hormonal hurricane I'm in with this period 💀 been trying to keep my head up, but I think I'm feeling the effect of not having a scheduled psych appt lined up.

My sleep cycle is a bit messed up, and I'm constantly drowsy. I feel like a big ball of whinge and woe-is-me.

On a positive note, I've applied for some jobs which I'm hopeful I'll get interviews for, and I've been playing cult of the lamb and am very happy with the DLC content! It's entirely worth it to me, and isn't just "here's some new clothes and follower forms, bitch" - there's more interactions with the bishops and much more endgame content.

Mickey has also been very cuddly.

Hey fellow Lemmylings(?). Last week I did Run Melbourne and managed to cut open my foot whilst running (not sure how), limiting my ability to walk. Thing is, I was going to propose to my partner on Saturday and was going to do it during a hike to one of our favourite places.

Given I can't walk, that's not all that doable anymore. Annoyingly I've booked various other things around the engagement.

Any ideas for proposals that wouldn't require significant walking? We don't have our own transport, but are willing to Uber if need be. Thanks everyone!

EDIT: We're in the Inner North on the Mernda/Hurstbridge train lines.

Thank you Before Holiday Seagoon for making the house clean and having a really well set up office/desk to come back to

Cat are fighting over who gets cuddles.

Husband is happy to have chef home again, except we are having defrosted dinner tonight cos I'm tired.

I have to reset my watch, argh, two clocks on it and I want to do the chime too.

Airport was interesting, for the first time ever I had to tick boxes yes for border control. Yes I have been on a farm, yes I have wood ( shush ) , yes I have shells. After an interview they sent me through saying I was fine and could keep all my stuff. 👍 They did say if I didn't declare I would have been fined!! ( to be positive, I saw the Icarus statue . 🪽☀️ )

I did two lasting self improvement things, I stopped playing bubbletown and I learnt about self instruction, where I tell myself out loud to do things, it works!

Never ate so much dairy in a long time. My clothes still fit but it's time to diet again.

Grocery shopping has been ordered. Clothes in the washing machine. Unpacking has started. ( so many shells to wash , they 🐽 )

Everyone wants their shit done asap. Get utterly fucked. I barely have enough in my team to do our own stuff.

Grrr.

Today at my neighbourhood beach I found a piece of coral, a shark tooth and saw a rainbow over the bay.

travel non drama, best thing I did was buy extra baggage before the flight, it cost hardly anything, stress instantly gone

so the thought occurred, why the fuck didn't I do this all those other times I travelled or the fam travelled

Because I wasn't the one doing the booking and organising. We're not poor, we could easily pay, so why the drama and anxiety of worrying about being a few kilos over? Because it was all about the drama. 🤨

I survived work and returned my library books. I can chill for the evening

Mission accomplished

Happy World Emoji Day 🙂❤️
