I've been having after 9pm thoughts all day about what I'd do if I don't get this job, just because I haven't heard back from them straight away.
I need to keep in mind these things take time and there are still over avenues open if this doesn't come through
I need to go and pick up my car from being serviced. It will either work out well, or I will be caught in a storm half way through my walk and come home soggy. 🤞
Good luck! I’m going to quickly take out the bins before it rains!
Certainly a day of it. Almost there though.
bit more mushy compost on top then off to the physio.
Time for a nap and last low energy practice.
Here we go!!!!!
Thanks everyone for all your support and well wishes ❤️❤️❤️
Showers increasing, says the BOM app.
No they're not, says a look out the window.
Mice are so cute!!! Ugh, their little paws, their little noses, their cute eyes. This course is great just for doing health checks on mice tbh
They smell and they shit everywhere. That's why cats were invented.
Hehehe yeah it shat in my hand, but it's cuteness made it worth it
The afternoon sleepiness is upon me.
Coffee not helping.
2 hours of meetings on the horizon.
Grant me strength oh mighty Odin.
You have my sword
and my BlasTech DL-44
Heads will rolls, mark my words.

If the rain and wind could hold off until say 9pm that'd be great. I'm meant to be doing outdoor cooking with kids this evening.
Odd question, but do ya'll ever plan out other lives for yourself? Occasionally I'll just sit on realestate and and look shit up. Might be like "alright, if I split with the mrs can I afford to buy a unit? where am I gonna live?" or "Fuckit, lets all move up to bright! I hate it here, alright what can we afford?"
I find it really therapeutic for some reason. These alternate lives I'll never live out.
I sometimes wonder what it’s be like to be a dog or cat when I see them.
I always thought dreams were my alternate lives in the multiverse. That's how I look at it anyway
Frickin hope not. Cause my alternate selves die a ton and also have a bunch of orgasmless sex.
I sometimes find my daydreaming self inserting myself into works of fiction - such a Sherlock Holmes, the Vorkosiverse etc. Probably a symptom of deep psychosis.
I am OFTEN on the bridge of a warship protecting the earth. Usually heroically telling the crew to abandon ship as I fight impossible odds bravely sacrificing myself.
Good to know its not just me.
That's so cool - what's your battle soundtrack?!
Usually just a bunch of alarms, explosions ect. Despite the lack of sound in space it sure is a loud experience. I'm CONVINCED its linked to my anxiety cause I dissociate hard.
I've definitely planned out what to do with large lotto wins I will never have. Looked at moving overseas or interstate. I've considered moving into a unit right in the centre of Melbourne so I can enjoy all the activities there, or moving to a big block of land in the middle of nowhere and fixing up a rundown place.
I think it is a healthy thing to do, as long as you are not doing it with rose-coloured glasses and making yourself unhappy with your current circumstances. If you are doing it realistically it often ends up highlighting things that are important to you - things you would miss if you made different choices, and sometimes things you really want that you are actually able to do now.
I do the lottery thing regularly. I don't resent my current life, but love to imagine what it would be like to not worry about bills and just live life.
Personally I'd have a place in like Daylesford or similar. Trees, pond, dogs, fireplace etc.
Doing nothing would be blissful.
Looking at houses in locations I'd love to live in but can't afford is a real one. Also, I was deeply fantasising about moving to NYC when I travelled there a couple of years back, asking people I met there about their experience in moving, even though I knew deep down that I'd never do it. It's nice to dream!
I had so many things I was going to do this morning, and here we are after Noon and they remain undone.
Ditto here except now it’s 4:30 :(
Where had my day gone?
