CubbyholeSecond weekend in a row of being stuck in bed due to health condition being flared up due to working in the office the day before.
Not happy. The employer changed their wfh arrangements after I’d started work with them ☹️
Just 1 errand to run today and that's it.
Was hoping to put it off to tomorrow, but the store isnt open on Sundays sadly.
another beautiful sunny day .🌞
Watching an Attenborough thing with the p's tonight.
My old man is a conservative (staunchly votes libs nats he's a doc, man of science).. was basically about climate / ecological collapse, shit is grim (and it didn't hit the sides).
"Bottom, you should get the word out, your generation needs to do this'.
Pointed out he'd been voting for cunts bringing coal into parliament..
It. did. not. end. well.
I am just going to leave the room next time a bit more quietly with less colourful language when these issues come up.
The subwoofer is in! Didn't damage anything (more).
I wasn't able to really use it back home because it was too much.
Forgot how loud it was. Which brings us to yet another rave choooon
Bit of a Balancing Act moving it around so happy that's over. All I need to do now is sand and paint the filled bit of wall I fucked and all will be okay.
Just beat Bayle in the Elden Ring DLC. I've found a lot of the boss fights since Dark Souls 3 felt like cheap and tedious slogs, but I really liked this one.
The NPC quest line leading up to the fight was great too, as well as seeing where you fight him before the showdown.
I think Elden Ring has the best NPC questlines since the first Dark Souls and the DLC just keeps that going
It seems pretty clear that the cops probably aren't going to be coming out, so I did a walk through of my spare room to try and find anything else that was missing. To be honest, it's a bit tricky to figure out what's missing, because I had a lot of things for parts or that I was planning on fixing up eventually. Or stuff that I got just for a project and hadn't gotten around to using yet. So I don't actually know every single thing that was in here. That room is basically my version of a garage. He also didn't take the obvious stuff, like my tv or computer monitor, so there's nothing my eye is immediately drawn to because of an absence.
The only 2 things I noticed missing now are a drill set and a Meccano set. But I did also notice another old phone is completely fucked. Like bent in half, with the screen completely detached. The screen is in 4 pieces snapped across my room. I also noticed that from my main room, my 3DS and my only other old phone are both missing. That solidifies in my mind he definitely did get in here, which I haven't been 100% on because:
false memories (tangent)
Most of the things missing from my main room are all things that I remember thinking about bringing with me while I was away. But it was really fucking with my mind, because I distinctly remember thinking about taking say, my aroma diffuser. I didn't remember taking it (or not taking it). I know it's weird to take an aroma diffuser to a hotel, but I'd just bought some nice smelly things for it (which I now realise are also missing) a few days earlier. Seriously, that was all fucking with my mind and making me feel like I have dementia. But this certainly solidifies that I am NOT crazy and I did NOT take these things with me, because the old phone and 3DS were both under a stack of paperwork in my drawer. I am certain that the thought of bringing them did not even cross my mind.
Also I couldn't remember if I brought my hard drive with me or not. I remember I either brought my hard drive cable or hard drive with me, because on the first day of the steam game sales, I didn't have enough space to install the games I brought, and I remember thinking it was a shame because I had half of what I needed. I guess my stupid little ranty comments are useful though, because I said I forgot to bring my hard drive in this comment. That also solidifies in my mind that my hard drive was stolen.
I got a pamphlet thingy from my local councillor where she's whinging about proposed high density housing. She included a link to a (state) government consultation page on it. But their consultation and public opinion process closed 3 months ago. This pamphlet was most certainly not in there on Wednesday, so it can't be an old one.
Also, what's with the photos ministers and councillors put on their propaganda/advertising material? Why do they always look like robots trying to be humans? I don't think anytime I've ever received their photos they actually looked like normal people. Reminds me of zuckerburg. It's uncanny.
My head is still in pain after having coffee and food and lots of water. Have attempted the Nurofen. Going out for dinner and hope this clears soon.
... Actually I can think of one reason why my headache didn't improve, I had to navigate Sydney Rd traffic and find parking. That can go get absolutely fucked
I really curse this radial transport network that requires me to go into town to head out again, because I would've gladly gone on a tram if it didn't take over an hour in total each way
Today was a good test of my new headlight bulbs. They were appropriately glowy. Unlike the old ones, which seemed very dim even before one of them died prematurely.
Went to the zoo with the kids for the dinos alive event. The zoo is much better with kids than I expected. They could run around safely to get them out of the pram and there's a great kid's room near the entry.
My boy is still a bit scared of dinosaurs when they move and make noise but they still had a good time overall
I’ve achieved nothing so far today except having the best sleep I’ve had all week, which should hopefully help my stupid illness go away sooner. My voice is gone from all the dry coughing. I remembered I have cough syrup from previous sickness and that seems to be helping.
The last bit of healing from the breakup is self-forgiveness. The relationship ended and he blocked me everywhere because I sent him a message that was childish and kind of rude l. In hindsight, I was anxiously attached and codependent, and even the tiniest bit of distance sent me on a worry frenzy. That was combined with things in the relationship that made me feel like he didn't care, like telling me I should be sending good quality memes when I sent him virtual flowers lol.
I obviously know better now and vow to never act batshit crazy again, but the embarrassment and shame just cause me to spiral a bit when I'm feeling down. I just dwell on shit a bit too much.
bloody hell it's gotten cold
Has anyone tried No.22 cafe on Flinders St? It's an Italian cafe we came across today and it's so goooood!
Dinner in the Laundromat, and waiting at the pizza place for my clothes.
Courtney Barnett is a national treasure 😍
Marshall Tucker Band - Can't you see....
How can three chords over and over sound so good?
Did a big clean out of shed and garage. Lots of old stuff stored there that is ready for rubbish. Bin full so some will have to wait for next week. Feels very satisfying. I’m feeling dusty and cold so time for a shower and then relax in front of tv with show or movie.
