Apartment below me is doing renos blegh. So loud when it echoes up the alleyway oof. Also hear the weeping of one of th residents next door (assisted living building), I hope she is okay.
tw abuse
I spent yesterday with my Dad. He travelled all the way from the East to me, braving the replacement busses. We had a delicious lunch at a local cafe and I updated him on how I'm going. I finally told him what my mum said to me, that has coloured all my experiences since I was 14. And he said it was unforgivable. We commiserated about how we were victims of her abuse, and he said that it's okay if people don't understand because he understands.
It was cathartic, exactly what the small scared child in me needed.
I messaged my cousin (mums niece) on Facebook , and told her I what Pop did to me. She can do what she wants with that information, as she is a mum to two kids. I don't expect anything from her or to believe me, but I felt I needed to say something (something I wish someone had done for me).
I'm feeling scared, but more confident that I can be okay and eventually even happy.

Looks like they finally found Dezi Freeman - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-30/live-blog-dezi-freeman-porepunkah-shooting/105719456
Oh god, I rode through a park this morning to avoid where I got hit by the car and the dew on the long grass immediately soaked through to my feet. And I had to ride through the grass for such a long stretch to get to a gap in the fence to go back on the road again.
If anyone can actually get Whittlesea city council to mow their lawns in a reasonable timeframe I am begging you to do so with the recent drop in temperature
Iโm being downvoted for posting frugal tipsโฆ in the frugal instance. Alrighty then.
(Probably the clickbait headline but I seem to remember some rule about editorialising headlines. And I put a TL;DR:)

I've been working on updating my budget so that I'm tracking a lot of things in my spreadsheet that I was using multiple bank accounts for previously. It will make it easy to change over to a home loan with a single offset account in future and should also make it easier to provide the bank details when I apply.
I've been trying to make things as automated as possible so that I don't fall behind on tracking and can still see the balances of the different savings categories easily. I'm most of the way there, and have also been able to simplify a few areas that were getting a bit out of control - it's amazing how chaotic a spreadsheet can get when you keep tacking new things on here and there.
It is frustrating how many places still make changing direct debits difficult. My main credit card it looks like I have to cancel the debit and start again with a new one which isn't too bad, but BankWest still make you send in a paper form.
Mr Trouble has had his April spot on a bit early and is frequenting my back yard again. Yesss. Yesss. This makes it much safer and easier if he has a medical emergency/gets injured and needs to be trapped.
Edit: Heโs grumpy about me applying the antifungal cream and just kept sulkily walking away from me and pulling his leg back. He doesnโt want it. But if Iโm letting him in I better start trying to treat.
I found spray cans of carpet sanitizerโฆ hope I donโt choke on the perfume.

It feels like Melbcat has just stepped out for a minute but I know thatโs not true. I am breaking up inside about my girlie. I hate that sheโs now no longer the focus
Iโve bought my allowance of Easter eggs. Ooooof

Oh dear. Been gradually getting Cerys used to maniacs in dining room, then His Lordship comes out and halfway through a scrubs episode with Cerys we see a tiny ginger head emerge from under the couch.
Good news: cerys is kinda ok, but we ain't pushing it. And i need to fix a door that won't latch.
Getting on top of things this week and preparing ads for the long weekend now instead of having an 'oh shit's moment Thursday afternoon. Will be interesting to see what the response is come Tuesday

Last night was the first time in my life I dreamt about food.
I dreamt I was drinking a big cool glass of milk with a spoon of milo on top. It was so delicious
It's meant to be warmer tomorrow but i might try my boots on the bike. I got these boots from Rivers but they all turned out to be duds. Weird sizing and they must be for a super narrow foot because they hug my feet in all the wrong places. Plus they're super heavy with a tread so hard it doesn't seem to grip anything.
But they are meant to be waterproof
