i think i am in a long distance situationship and that is exactly right at this point of my life
Long-distanceship!!!! πππ Yaaaaaaasss girl!!!
β€οΈ
so long as the long distance isn't so long that you cant occasionally get into situational activities with them, sure! Edit: everyone deserves a good activity ever now and then.
We will be in nearby universes that makes activities possible
I have received some chocolates π₯°
They look a bit fancy!
They taste amazing!
said it before and I'm sure I will say it again: Boys highschool sex ed should be bringing in a new dad whos got a kid in daycare and ask them "how many times you been sick this year?". You'd scare the crap out of them.
I'd like to be one of those people who feels compelled to buy a book every time they go into a book store, but they're like $20 for even a basic paperback. I don't want to drop that much every time I go look at books
Two members of my household tested positive for COVID today and I have symptoms but tested negative. Time to sit and watch some movies for the rest of the week maybe.
Movie recommendations please!
Hard day at work today. I'm seriously considering making golden syrup pudding for dinner.

Goodbye old house and old life!!! Onto the transitory period before the next big thing... interestingly just yesterday I hear from my cousin in regional Vic that they're seriously considering moving (back) to WA...
Can't claim sewing course is going well. Nobody is horrid, but I'm highly dubious my result will fit, and can really do without the graphic prego stories!
Opposite result of hoped for really.
I finished reading the Expanse last night. I've not been that engaged with a book series since I discovered Tom Clancy as a 12 year old who was obsessed with Navy aircraft. Don't really know what to read now.... I saw an interview with Henry Cavill where he was asked his go to sci fi writers. Without hesitation the first thing he said was anything by Robert E Feist.... So I guess I'll try that....
Edit. Decided on Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.
mrs B has started BG3. And I am so so excited to watch her play and talk to her about it. Shes gonna love it!
I'm always so tired when I have my week of late shifts. I can't change the time I wake up (or at least not so quickly) so I'm still up at the same time, but I don't get to sleep until two hours later than normalπ΄π΄π΄
I gave up afternoon shifts a long time ago for that very reason. If I'm going to stuff up my sleep cycle I'd rather do it good and proper and do night shift.
So I saw one of the friends in the group that excluded me from their catch up last week. He was saying how we should plan another pot luck dinner with the group (thatβs what we did the last time I saw them all) and have it at person Xβs place. So maybe they felt bad I wasnβt with them last week? Who knows. I just acted dumb, said sure etc, no confrontation about why I wasnβt invited last week. Letβs see if it happens. Iβll forgive but I wonβt forget!
New firmware update for the pedal board!!!!!!!!
5 new amp models and 4 of them are HIGH GAIIIIIN!!!
OK I'm all good now lol
Huge pot of chicken broth on the go. Probably last chance before weather makes this unfeasible, and I need dumplings.
So the good thing about discovering i needed to raise the ground level of the food garden area is that when i'm digging out the pathway alongside and leading up to it i can just hurl the shovelfulls about three feet. And I don't have to sift and weed overmuch (apart from the most egregious) since it's all going under geo anyway. Much time save, me likey
I fell asleep earlier and woke in the night -_-
Melbcat doesnβt seem to need a top up, but sheβs had some treats and Iβm having a cuppa
so much snot. Not enough oxygen to make joke about tissue usage.
Super long day with psych session (v v good debrief of the last week and coping strategies for the coming weeks, but needed downtime after). Went back to the office to eat dinner then worked till 10 to catch up on lost time and finish this week's work. At least that's one less thing on my plate for a while. Still need to do an extra 4 hours somewhere...
I am irrationally mad at the people in one of the heaps of units nearby who just slam car doors loudly and repeatedly no matter the time. I might just close the windows tonight and see how I go since the flat is cool enough.
Night everyone.
I hate ordering stuff online, I think I get anxiety over waiting for things to get shipped and if it's in stock and then for it to arrive.
I love ordering stuff online. I get to spend my time, compare lots of different things easily, and can focus on the most important aspects (like measurements or technical specifications). I tend to put it out of my mind once I've ordered it, and instead of getting anxious waiting it's more like a happy surprise when it turns up!
