The LittleOne will make you a pie when he wakes up properly

This was my day yesterday. We left here about 9am. We get into Kyneton and head for the bakery. Get something to eat and ordered a coffee.

We drove around for about 10 mins before I said "The next covered park bench, gazebo, whatever you need to let me out. I need to stretch". There was nothing like that, so I said "I don't care let me out here on the street".

First thing I spot is the post office boxes. Beautiful, there's shelter. So I loiter around there watching the rain piss down, had a smoke looking like a leper.

I then noticed the pub across the road. Walk there. Fuck, it's closed.

Next I start walking around. It's cold, wet, windy. I've got a coat and beanie on and I'm fucking freezing. I spot the Reject shop. Go in there. Do a little shop. Come out.

I'm standing on the corner with me shopping bag and when they went passed commented to each other "Oh look at that poor old homeless lady".

I'm thinking "I know there's a library, I'll find a dry spot somewhere and look it up". That's when I spotted the 2nd pub. And it's open. I go in, it's warm, there's a fireplace, tv and I didn't give the library anymore thought. Hallefuckinglujah.

I order a beer and texted my husband "I'm at the Kyneton hotel". He texted back "That doesn't surprise me. Well be there soon".

They arrive. I announced "I don't care what youse do next but I ain't leaving here until it's time to go to the RTA". I order another.

We left there about 1:30 pm. It was a very long cold day but for a brief hour an a half I found solace.

Ha ha I posted this in yesterday's thread, and didn't realise for four hours 😂😂😂

Mickey's vaccination went well, uneventful. I got some dental treats for him as well, as his teeth are a bit yellow.

He's also 5.95kg, and NOT overweight or fat. The vet looked at him and was like "he's just massive for a DSH" 😂

Exciting achievement for today: I finally figured out how to turn on the fog lights in the van 🤣.

Absolutely nobody just bought two grand of candles

Did you ever have one of those dreams where you wake up and you're disoriented because if how real the dream was?

Such an odd feeling.

I'm lighting a candle to try to guide Yarrabyte home

I've been locked out of my work Facebook account. Facebook tells me to refresh the page this morning then locks me out for suspicious activity? This whole thing was your idea.

Now it wants a video selfie, but the work profile just has a stock image as the profile picture. I've been able to satisfy the prompts with an AI image to 3D model program. Now to see if it lets me back in.

Such a terrible program. How does anyone keep using that site?

Two other things this old phone has I forgot about was the notification light and the taskbar actually tells you how much battery is left in a bluetooth device. I can't believe how much we've lost in phones in a few short years. And it still has a headphone jack too.

8+ hours sleep let's goooo! I'm king of the world!!!

I had a curry scallop pie from Australia's best bakery yesterday and it was heaven. I'm still thinking about it.

Today:

Gym, food shop, job applications and music practice for band rehearsal tomorrow night.

It’s been an unstructured week due to several poorly timed commitments but that’s ok. My timetable is ready to go for Friday and the following weeks.

And I returned the overpayment from old job of a months salary.

One more pillar and like a square foot section of wall to clean, one more panel to depoint and then holy shit we're repointing this weekend. A week ahead of aimed schedule

a dozen chicken sausage rolls have been made, that's dinner and lunches for at least a few days 👍

ThiNgs that infuriate me:

• being lied to by CSRs
• companies attempting to convince you their AI is a Human Being No Really
• not being fucking listened to when bringing up an issue

ALL FUCKING THREE IN ONE HIT FUCKING YAY FOR ME

This office is like a morgue.

People seriously need to lighten up a bit.

And I'm a cynical pessimist most of the time!!!!

How am I the bright light in this joint.

Can't escape the paparazzi

This morning's unhappy discovery: there's a song from KPop Demon Hunters that makes me cry.

Also, I had a dream that I was abandoned by friends because I couldn't climb down a wall, so clearly I'm in some kinda headspace.

Good news: the cafe near me looks like they're doing my favourite sandwich today and I conveniently forgot to bring my lunch.

Goodnight all ❤️

Do you think using a friend to help with providing some services I need for my business is a bad idea? On the plus side, we worked together for many years (and still friends after both leaving) and I know they're good at what they do. I also don't have to go searching for another provider, which is a drainer as it always takes me a long time to land on someone. On the possible negative side, I don't want any feedback / input on their work (its design-related stuff) to impact our friendship - I would probably be more reluctant to give this compared to using someone I don't know personally. I don't think the negative part will come to light but you never know.
