ee another jigsaw candidate from the arse end of swan bay at sunset.

In an attempt to be more social, I engaged in small talk today.
Her: We are always so busy.
Me: Well it is a growing industry.
I was getting a haircut
I am pretty sure I heard what cringe sounds like.
Someone: Oh you're growing a beard.
Me: Always.
The CBF factor is very strong today.
Very. Strong.
I resent any day that requires donning pants
I took the day off for the NbN tech who only needed an hour or so.
Day off!
I swear every time I have a rough day, I come home to this lol

'wot you looking at'.
Not pictured, the mountain of toilet paper in the background.
No limits for the weed burner.
Everything food is fair game.

Stabbed it for extra luck.
My suggestion is kranskis!
Now look. I'm not going to say it worked very well but I'm running out of butane and ideas :)
So I finished my two day training for very complicated accounts a week and a bit ago, then immediately went on planned leave. Ten days later, today, I'm to be dealing with these accounts and I feel I've forgotten everything.
Before starting I was exceptionally, surprisingly nervous like my heart was racing, crazy nervous energy. I was thinking holy shit I'm actually terrified.
After a little while it dawned on me though, before starting work I had a strong large coffee like usual. What I did not do however, was drink any coffee during my time off. I was flying off the walls with a caffeine buzz and confusing it with pure terror about these accounts.
Day went fine. I dealt with said accounts without drama, quite a lot more energy expenditure as lots of new ideas etc. but it went it well!
Toldya! Still congrats on managing the hard stuff! This is where the sheep / goat divide is most clearly seen. Goats rule!
It's so nice out there. Went for a stroll in the local botanical gardens. Might have a beer or 2 in my own backyard but under the shade.
I keep finding random golf balls around the block down here. Yesterday found about 15.
A neighbour just keeps hitting them in. I really want to know which one so I can hit them back lol. Not the safest thing to do though.
i've done me ousewerk
beach
husband can look after rea if and when they come
Feeling so low.

Usually Iโm really good at compartmentalising but Iโm just not doing well with an old friendโs death. And scared about Melbcatโs nose.
Worried about becoming a sad sack and alienating the people around me.
Today I went on the train and used my new earbuds to listen to an audiobook. ๐
No more sitting ruminating and ending up in a negative emotional mess
Today has been 3 months since I jumped off suboxone.
In that time I've more alive than I have in a decade. There's too many things to list, too many "first time in 10 years" but I'll list the 2 most important.
laughing properly
endorphin rushes from listening to and making music.
It's been hard but worth it. I've had to deal with some really serious stuff and didn't have a single craving. Didn't even occur to me as an option.
I think that speaks for itself :)
I feel like we're observing your awakening in real time and it's so cool. So glad for you sharing this positive time in your life with us ๐๐ผ
I'm so happy for you that you are now happier and more alive ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
( while sad and a bit cross that you lost so much time )
You prompted me to get/keep in touch with old friends and I've rediscovered my old role playing club has re-branded but is very much alive with a bunch of cool new and old people with regular non-committal get togethers. I feel like I've found 20 old friends and 40 new ones.
Today was a new Vegemite jar. That first swoop out of the pristine surface has a certain satisfaction.
Oh dearโฆ the gas heater is making bubbling liquid sounds and also sounds like a car trying to choke start. Maybe the fan is going?
Iโve turned it off to be safe and am using portable electric heater for now. Might have to call in repairs.
Been feeling the throat, bridge of the nose, and eyes today. A few people around work have been feeling sick so I'm hoping it doesn't get worse.
So no bike in this morning. If I'd been riding already I'd deal with it, but I feel like things need to be perfect to get back into the swing of things.
The days are so nice now, though. The morning ride might suck, but the afternoon ride will be very pleasant. I need to just get on it.
Goodnight all โค๏ธ

I see your fluff Gibson ๐
Thereโs so much rubbish thrown around here. Not by residents but by trashy randoms. Wondering if thereโs any point to going out and cleaning it up while nobodyโs out there.
Itโll probably be littered again by tomorrow.
Youโre doing a good thing to pick it up. Otherwise it might get washed into storm water, animals might eat it, birds sometimes pick up dangerous materials for their nests. I live in a pretty tame area, but itโs on a walking route to the local school, so am regularly picking up food packets or random bits of junk the kids drop. Hate it, but I figure itโs better in the bin than in my front yard.
I picked up litter in the park during covid, it always comes back.
I have a ridiculous amount of rubbish dumped near me. People seem to think it's ok to dump stuff on any land that's vacant, and because it's a new estate there is a lot of vacant land around. People are obviously driving here just to throw things on the side of the road, including things like furniture. Plus the wind up here tends to pick up and redistribute household rubbish, some of that stuff blows over the fence and gathers in the corner of my yard.
Where I used to be didn't have too much rubbish, but for a few years I had a vacant lot next to me that was a bit the same, random rubbish, empty bottles and occassionally dumped larger things. I used to clean up a lot of it on bin night but it was always a temporary improvement.
Back to work this morning and my laptop died within 10 minutes, it's fried. Feeling the same way.
Chicken schnitzel enjoyers: short of handcrafting your own, what do you reach for at the supermarket?
I make my own, but I have noticed that they sell premade ones at the butcher. They look pretty good, might be better and fresher than the supermarket ones?
I used to buy from a chicken shop thigh sandwich schnitzel but they got too expensive, way too expensive.
When I have more time and headspace I might think about making my own one day.
For now the Aldi ones will do me.
Tasman meats. I can't slice my chicken as thin and consistently as they do.
Why the premade ones? Schnitzels are pretty easy to artisan yourself? Get better control of seasonings too.
Working within some limitations of my disability.
I tried Carlโs jr double cheese burger. Maybe slightly more tasty than Maccas but just as small and tiny.
Not worth the money for it.
They were better than Maccas, and kind of on par with HJ. Their chips were shite though.
The ones closest to us shut down and so did most others in the area.
I thought they were going under in Aus?
Apparently the one in Clayton has reopened after it closed down.
Never tried them but had a 2 for 1 deal for double cheese burger.
Just as small as maccas, wouldnโt order again.
I tried the Clayton one before it closed. My main thoughts were that I had to drive past a HJs on the way there so would probably never go again.
Goodnight everyone, I feel like I've been dragging my arse through this glorious day instead of bopping around energized after the weekend. Now I'm dragging myself to bed and flaking out. Love you all ๐
I might have overdone the potato quantity for dinner.
YL's home with the mange so we decided to take a break from the festivities and enjoy some sunshine whilst taking the empty bottles to the recycling joint.
Watched KPop Demon Hunters late last week and am absolutely hooked on the soundtrack. So fun and catchy!
What a day/evening/night!
