Vic Public Transport to be free for the month of April

It's the right thing to do, hopefully my already too busy and under-serviced line won't be too much worse.

    I wish I could use this. Work is only 3 stations away just going off suburb names but my station is too far away to walk to and work is at the other end of the suburb. There's a bus to my station but nothing to work, and it would be such a hassle to get the bike on there. I might try it once this week since it's free to compare for time though

    Yep! I plan to come second last so as to preserve the last of my dignity and mispent youth.

    I've just realised the actual worst aspect of this fuel crisis. Now when I fill up the van I need to actually remember my PIN.

    Feeling so anxious and sad. I wish I could just harden up. Today will probably be chores or maybe veging

    Maybe harden up a little, but you don't want to lose touch with your emotions and just be a robot person. Loss is part of life, you're going through regular life stuff and sometimes that hurts.

    You get up everyday and spend 10 minutes outside without over thinking anything. When you're ready you have a cuppa and write down some of your tasks for day. Then you slowly start and if you need to cry you cry but the important thing is you keep moving. No need to over think the things that need to be done. No need to go hard.

    Had big plans for a big spring clean but have spent most of the weekend crashed. Keep falling asleep. Finally made it out for a walk and some groceries. Just how it is I guess. Have managed to restart a book I put down months ago and binge some slow horses so ...that's a win yeah?

    Watched the Gatsby ballet last night. It was good, there were scenes and moments from the book that could be given more time through dance than what you get on the page. I've deliberately kept away from a lot of adaptations of it because I feel a lot of them miss the funny moments in the book, you could almost switch it up and make it a comedy if you wanted to, but it's seen as this 'big and important' book that people overlook the jokes. The Great Gatsby could almost be done like Peepshow set in the 1920s.

    But dance isn't the medium for that, they did a very good job running through the main scenes in the form they did

    I let lil bro walk through the house once more.

    cleaning

    Vacuumed and sprayed Glen 20 over his path again. Either this works or Iโ€™ve really screwed myself over and have bigger problems. I should have bought those plastic carpet runners but didnโ€™t expect to do this. Wondering how effective carpet cleaner machines are against anything infectiousโ€ฆ I used to have a carpet steamer I got rid of but that wouldnโ€™t get hot enough. Damn carpet.

    I havenโ€™t begun trying to apply the cream to him because I havenโ€™t had a chance to inspect him with the lamp. I seriously need a longer extension cord.

    fretting

    Iโ€™m unnecessarily stressing myself out when already in a bad state and am so not ready for another pet. He wonโ€™t accept being an inside kitty. Itโ€™s also costing money.

    But when someone suggested it might be time to trap him in the house and call the rescue contact to take him and try and find him a foster placement I felt so bad about sending him away. Didnโ€™t want to make and live with that decision. At least letting him check out the house makes it easier to trap him if he needs medical treatment or his outdoor situation is no longer working and he needs to be adopted. Situation still in limbo. Iโ€™m torn.

    Waiting on a Halo brand scanner to see if that will pick up a microchip. Itโ€™s still budget but a more reliable brand. I should have spent the extra money to get it from the site that sells to vetsโ€ฆ Fingers crossed ebay doesnโ€™t send a counterfeit.

    mourning

    Iโ€™m still thinking of Melbcat a lot. I spent most of today just struggling emotionally and sleeping. Iโ€™m in a bad way. Thinking about how she died towards the end of summer so she got to soak up those last sun rays at the window. She loved summer. But now I donโ€™t get the extra affectionate winter cuddles. Itโ€™s so strange to not be spooned then gradually pushed out of bed.

    The house feels empty without her and extra bare with the cleaning Iโ€™ve done. Had to do. Everything looks different and it feels like itโ€™s wiping away our old life together.

    We were so bonded it feels like Iโ€™d had her forever and then she was gone in a blink of an eye. I havenโ€™t even begun to deal with it. I feel like my grieving process is being rushed so it may just be mostly suppressed for later.

    Movie review/special feature commentary

    12 Monkeys with Terry Gilliam

    awesome movie so when I found a special edition dvd I snapped it up

    I loved how Gilliam described how so much of the design was done on the fly, they filmed in a disused power station and they created sets and scenes around the giant building and machinery

    he describes how much the actors created their characters

    he's very gracious
