Psyching myself up to clean the house for the inspection on Wednesday.

Ughhhhhh UGHHHHHH I don't wanttt tooooo but if I don't do it today I know I'll be rushing around tomorrow doing it. Which is good motivation but also not how I want to spend my Tuesday. We've done the spare room, but I still need to vaccum and do the bathroom, and stove top. Tidy up a bit.

But I'm not moving the cat's boxes. They can walk around them, he lives here too dammit

Edit: in other news, all 9 of my assessments this term have been marked now - and I passed!! Now I don't have to stress until Feb! Yay!

It must be results day - I passed the assignment I half-arsed. One more half-arsed assignment to go and I can see the back of this subject for good, yay! The other subject is much better, the next assignment I get to spend time counting birds in my backyard.

Update: I ate the pate. I ate the pate before I posed the question in fact. Tomorrow, I will let you know if it was a good idea or not.

I also ate some cottage cheese that was opened more than 5 days ago and some tasty cheese that tasted not quite right (I tossed that) so eeny meeny miny moe.

Looks like the fan I bought 2 weeks ago stopped working. Lovely

Question: Would you eat pate that is one week (use by) out of date?

CAUTION: DO NOT mansplain the difference between use by and best before or I will be forced to severely downvote you.

constantly amazed by the speed at which crafting and gardening communities go from zero to toxic cuntishness

Where's the fucking raaaaaaain?!

It's so hot in this fucking apartment, but I'm vaccuming, tidying up, all while drinking a beer.

Have to head down the bellarine tm. Bit of an issue cause the ol' boy can't cook. Huge mistake by that generations' parents not to teach the dudes how to, even the basics. A few of his buds can and very well, but honestly all that old school gender role shit can get in the bin with this (mums) problem. I know cooking isn't for everyone but fark me that'd be really handy right now. At least have a go at it.

Ending up stripping down to just undies for the vacuuming, so hot!

Got pizza for dinner though, with plenty of leftovers for the next few nights.

Place is looking gooooooood

Time for a big fat glass of ice water and a cold shower. Then tomorrow, I tackle the balcony and bathroom.

It's 21 degrees inside but I can't get warm, my legs ache and my throat is sore. Nooooo...not this week.

Absolutely loving the assignment result theme today, so chuffed to see highly deserving people being rewarded for their hard work :D

Nearly everyone was on leave today and there's a huge pile of due-todays and overdues, AND I got lobbed a site inspection from someone who decided to work tomorrow instead of today last minute. Proud that I got through a pretty good chunk of it without panicking. It helped that the only other person in today is very chill and calm. Though they were besieged by tech issues.

About to return home to The Furnace and wfh a bit more so everything is done and ready to be checked tomorrow am. Grateful to past self for getting pizza on special for an easy meal tonight

E: annoyed however that psych practice didn't tell me the 2nd referral hadn't come through despite my doing days in advance. And they said it wasn't their responsibility, well whose is it because I don't have a spare $200 out of pocket to casually afford like that. Also, it looks like our bins have not been collected. Possibly because there's a parking spot right out front. I suspect they haven't been collected for weeks, which explains why they're overflowing. I'm gonna have to ring the council to ask about another collection. Sigh

I wish I wasn’t always tired and stressed out. I wish it was easier to get stuff I need and get things done independently.

Life sucks to the point of meaninglessness sometimes but I want to take great care of Melbcat and grow heaps of healthy food for people that can eat it.

I had a MyGov message yesterday that my account was locked because of too many attempts to sign in. It wasn't me, so I assume it was a hacking attempt using data leaked from somewhere else. I was able to unlock the account and discovered there is a setting that stops you email or phone being an option for the username, so they shouldn't be able to try again.

Thank you Seagoon! 💜💜

Goodnight all ❤️

Eh, snoozed the day away and got caught binge watching.

Actually enjoyed Nobody Wants This.

Better get shut eye, I haz things to do tomorrow!

Need coffee

Edit: Have coffee. Things are looking up.

Still logged on the work laptop (working from home of course). Manager thinks I'm working hard but in reality it's the coolest part of the house with two AC vents nearby.

So, about those minimum rental standards

I don't wanna 😞

found this pretty lil guy in the stairwell

It was too close to the spiders there, so I scooped it up in my glasses case and took it outside. So pretty!

Edit: Did some googling and I'm pretty sure this is a Common Brown Butterfly, a female.

I don't gotta! But will have to Thursday instead.

Since I'm recovering from yesterday, today was the sort of day where you action the most urgent new requests then check if Nier Automata mods are working.

I've got some long term background stuff I'll work twice as hard on tomorrow

Cause I was away last Monday, I booked in a pre-class catch-up with the teacher so I don't miss anything. It's a pretty cruisy unit, so I could've figured it out from tonight's class, but I don't want to get lost. That does mean I basically have an extra hour's worth of class, but oh well

Also, I have been freaked out about a dozen times checking my course progress and seeing that one of the assessments due today doesn't have the little checkmark to tell me I've finished it. I'm like "ah shit did I miss one", then click on it and I've already done it and passed

I logged a ticket, and I love their priority levels. One of them is "EXTREME! CRITICAL! EMERGENCY! I CAN NOT WORK UNTIL THIS IS FIXED!". Anyway, when they responded, they fixed it on the spot and even included smiley faces in their email. That's lovely. I like that. Not exactly sure what the issue was, but they sent me an email to say they could tell what was wrong from my screenshots, then 5 minutes later sent a follow up to say they fixed it

If anyone is familiar with a "churn defence meeting" I have one this afternoon for one of my clients.
