Started getting a sore throat yesterday but I thought it was because I didn't drink much water. Boy was I wrong. Woke up with a migraine, fever, chills, bodily pains and of course, a way worse fucking sore throat. Hopefully I can recover faster than I did when I was sick two months ago because I have to do a presentation in five days.

How she did not laugh at the antics of the others I don't know.
Presentation went AMAZING, best one yet. Lots of questions and discussions during the session which is exactly what I want. And a possible new client that came to the session has already emailed me. That's how it's done!
yay
Youโre smashing it!
I've decided to buy a phone tripod and make lame social media videos playing covers.
Will it be a waste of time? Absolutely.
Will it be fun? Depends if Gibson makes a star appearance lol
As long as you have fun doing it!!
Canโt sleep club checking in. Also thankyou Melbaboutown. Yarrabyte seems to be chucking a sickie again.

and thank you Melba ๐

Another presentation today! My last in the tour, feeling a lot more positive and less nervous than I did on the day of the last one. Mindset is currently - going to kill it.
Hell yeah you are!!
I'm the wrong species.
Iโm definitely coming back as a cat

I think back to a year ago when I was dealing with the old job. I wanted to try get into recording again around the grand final long weekend but realised I had to make moves to try get out of there. Things have been good with the current job and I'm talking some days off around this public holiday without any plans so I might try get into things again

How bizarre. I slept overnight for a few hours, and then spent the time from 7am to 5pm mostly asleep. I really hope it isn't COVID and it's just today I'll be like this.

"Panel needs replacing on a car? Going through insurance will run it at $2200. Skipping all the paperwork going straight through me will be $1100. However, if you want it done on the weekend, cash in hand, let's make it $800."

Can someone help me reset my password please? ๐ฅบ Currently only have Lemmy on my old cracked screen phone I'm not bringing out with me anymore. Have tried sending password reset link all day and get no email
I think this is a job for @Nath@aussie.zone
I can absolutely help with that. But not from here.
I'll get into this when I get home in a couple of hours.

ahhh it's all happening I've ripped out the corner cabinet, painted down the hardiboard waterproofing, fitted marine ply to level the floor, plumber tomorrow to fit the new shutoffs, detach the brewery piping from the kitchen and put in a new trap for our dishywashy, Monday sparky comes to fit socket for dishywashy and then we install dishywashy. Meanwhile, I have Friday-monday off as well as cup day so I'm FINALLY GONNA FINISH LAYING THAT FUCKING CRAZY PAVING. and His Lordship shall complete the pointing on the back wall, paint the side wall and start work on the cleat wall.
Iโve had a lovely breakfast - my favourite local cafe does not skimp on the number of ๐โ๐ซ in their omelettes! - taken my library books back and had my hair cut. All to the good
so much decluttering
a whole suitcase worth of clothes and a big box of books
feels bad to get rid of good clothes , that's my past poverty talking
Also, no more buying personal non necessary things, not even books.
I have enough.
I'm spring cleaning and decluttering too. On the good days I'll do my usual everyday chores then choose something extra. I call this my bonus. It might be cleaning out a cupboard or organising my sock drawer depending on how active I feel.
Friday is my cupboard sorting day , this is extra :)
this house is so easy to look after, such a relief after the last place which was a nightmare
for example, the last place was super dusty because the carpet was really old and degrading , this place has mostly wooden floors and new carpet, it's easy
I like to have all my work done before 2:30 everyday so I can relax before the man comes home to massage my feet and fetch my cuppa tea and slippers.
It is better to give stuff away then have it lying around unused. I can't wait until this weekend. Planning a big declutter!!!
I have whipped and snipped some edges and the tallest clumps of grass in the backyard. Now my arms are feeling a bit wobbly. Not sure if I'll do the mowing today or tomorrow. I should do a bit more cardboard/mulch application and start on planting vegie seeds, but my motivation is very low today.
I keep going out and looking at the area I'm gonna pave, checking all the supplies are ready to go and have to keep reminding myself that I can't start it now it's the middle of a bloody work day
There's a very distinct smell outside from certain trees. ๐คฎ
๐ถOh the sprog trees will blind the weary driver...๐ต
Work from home tomorrow then Friday and Monday off. There's something going on at work where they'll pay for us to go to the museum so I think I'll take them up on that for Sunday

Too nice a day to do admin and emails inside so grabbed the laptop and relocated to the park. I cannot describe how good a decision that was for my little burner out brain. ๐๐๐๐๐
I've missed having a modded console to mess around with.
I just love having complete control over a piece of hardware. If it's yours you should be able to load whatever you like onto it.

What up, what up
The Sun. Lovely day outside.
Dragula is a great trashy show. Drag queens bitching each other out and being all sassy and witty, while designing horror themed drag outfits. I didn't know I was a fan of this subculture until now
Also a banger of a Rob Zombie track - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqQuihD0hoI
