Had one hell of a psych session... big emotions. Good session but the kind that you need to sit down and process for 30 minutes afterwards. I had thought I might pack my shoes and some other stuff tonight but it isn't happening. It's been a big week and more to come with the real move coming up.
I am not being lazy or weak, I am pacing myself π
Go you for attending the psych session! Good attitude, put your feet up and relax a bit. You deserve it!!!
hugs
Well the meeting wasn't too bad. Still got blamed for the inadequacy of the project team, but the heat was lower than expected thankfully β€οΈ
Edit: Just got a call for another job that pays 1/3rd more. Fuck it let's see what happens.
That project team that you didnt even set up or have any control over? and thats been long established since before you joined? Classic management.
Got my payslip.
Picking up the car on my birthday Saturday!
It's all coming up millhouse!
Also, a story in 2 photos:
Then meowing for my to get her down....
You softy. I would put a tin of salmon on the floor and walk away.

Yay for the cat righting reflex!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!

I forgot to buy cheese on the way home from work. My life is over
Little whiteboard fell of the wall at 3am and frightened the bejesus out of me.
Broken sleep. π
ffs I have been banned for 3 days from one of the fossil reddits ..lol. Some nonce posts a picture of a blue rock he got from Blue Rock Beach and asks if it's a fossil.
It's a blue rock.

antivaxxer is harassing me
and horribly cruel mocking political post against a poor white woman , for her looks and race, is allowed to stand
^mrow^
Bro rocked up last night finally to 'see' mum.
Just sat there and spoke about himself for 30mins.
Cunt. At least the old man is seeing him for who he really is now.
Pretty obvious won't be getting much help from bro.
Anyway so I've left the kitchen with a bit of a mess and I need to see what happens (I usually clean up). Pretty much testing severity / independence. I'm hoping I'll get a serve because that means she can see it, she can do it, how well she does it and mood which will be a good indication for steps that follow (for now). Low risk easy test.
Itβs going to be a blood agreement sandwich kinda day
Someone might take the big couch off me today. Please turn up this evening for the love of God. It would be such a relief.
Melbcat has been wrangled for her medsβ¦ sheβs forgiven me and is now curled up as the little spoon
aww, hugs
What's everyone's favourite dessert?
If it's cake I'd say chocolate for me or black forest as long as it doesn't have cheese in it.
I also like making a bowl of jelly with fruits in it.
Creme brulee
good vanilla ice cream with raspberry coulis
chocolate mousse
black forest cake with brandied cherries
Lemon meringue pie. Extra points if those waves are huge.
Tiramisu hands downnnnn
Interesting thing just happened. I was in the middle of writing a reply, but the time stamp said that I had responded 5 minutes ago. Yes, it was the time stamp for that reply. I checked.
This means that the DT is actually a portal that allows time travel into the future. Albeit not very much future. Not enough for stock market speculation, dammit.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
That explains why I see some serious shit every time a post hits 88 comments.
Good start to the day, Marketplace buyer showed up & was very friendly. I have a couple more that will hopefully show up today too - I'll have to convert all my cash to proper digital money soon! π° π° π°
I'm really hoping some more cupboards sell soon, I'd like to be able to use my carport again. If any are remaining after this weekend I think I'll put them up free on the Buy Nothing group.
Left over beef ragu pasta for lunch and I am so excited. Hurry up, 1:30pm.
Also wondering at what point I'll snap and stop making sensible decisions and run away to Europe for a month.

Went to pick up some extra food for a few days and came across some bargains
3kg bag of oranges for 5 dollars and a bag with 4 bunches of chinese broccoli or something for 2 bucks.
Felt like I made off like a bandit and has left me fairly happy with myself.
Also this afternoon was way smoother with almost no hassles compared to yesterdayβs drama.
Edit: I also grabbed some red wine and pink moscato.
Open mic is tomorrow at 9pm if anyone wants to come have a drink :)
Edit: I'm sorry I'm going to cancel. I've been dealing with this stomach bug all week and it's just gotten worse and worse.
Id rather not go, than give a lacklustre performance :(
Trying to play financial seer since our fixed mortgage term is up in December and we're trying to work out if we should lock in a two or five year rate in case it all goes to shit.
Musks antics are not helping
I think Iβve been feeding the magpies too much cat food. One meowed
It's literally raining here and it's not on the radar. π«₯
It is now raining harder.
I put a book in my satchel, today I start reading on PT π
Waking up to the sound of rain, the rubbish truck and birds chirping.
What could be more Australian?
Oh and a fender bender at the top of my court. No one hurt but definitely both drivers were at fault.
Went shopping with friend who wants to rebuild my wardrobe. Bought nothing but she bought some cheap earrings, only to leave the bag of them on the bus. I followed the bus in the car and she ran to get her earrings.
Shopping is exhausting. Very lucky to have such a first world problem. But I hate shopping centres and browsing.
Tv Review. Poker Face on Stan. This is like Colombo. A crime is shown to the audience and the main character, Charlie , manages to figure it out using her ability to detect lies and inconsistencies and find clues. Unlike Colombo it's original, Colombo was a copy of Les Diaboliques.
I like these shows, half the genius is developing all the situations where the main character is put in the situation of catching the bad guy/solving the crime.
This series has a lot of potential.
3.5 hobbits. Next series there may be less violence and less drinking on camera and then it will get broader appeal and 4 hobbits
Surprise! 1st strawberry from the patch this season. Was watering and thought.... hmmmm..... something red is hiding there. π
is there a stomach bug going around? Kid got sent home with the shits yesterday but was in great spirits and wasnt on a hold so went back today and seems fine. Meanwhile I've got this feeling at the top of my stomach a bit like i wanna spew, but not quite? Had it for 3 days now, and it just comes and goes. not actual digestive changes however, its a bit weird. edit: feels like there is a rock at the top of my stomach.
I saw something on the other site with a graph regarding gastro cases in Australia (or Victoria) and there was huge upward spike recently.
sky blue, I did reading on the tram , got a new planner
and some art books
It was a successful trip. π
Goodnight from the Red roomβ€οΈ
