Oh damn nicholas brendan died

[–] Eagle@aussie.zone 2 points 34 minutes ago

Its a bit of a shock, I know he hadn't been well but didn't expect that.

This is my problem:

It's only 2pm and I want to go out now, because when I wait till 10pm I lose motivation.

[–] TheWitchofThornbury2@aussie.zone 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

One solution only - time travel. Most easily accomplished by lying horizontal on bed or bed like structure and setting an alarm for 1 hour before planned departure time.

If I had sleeping pills I'd knock myself out till then lol

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 3 hours ago

or you could find a snow bank where you can wait it out in suspended animation

I think I just made the perfect mcdonalds order: double quarter pounder with extra onion and pickles, just the burger no drink or chips. Absolute banger

Few things I really need to sort out this year, posting here for accountability tbh.

  • investigate with professionals whether I am autistic (it would make so much sense if true)
  • investigate with professionals regarding pmdd symptoms
  • practice and enact self care routines
  • practice cleaning more often so the home doesn't become a clutterbomb
  • talk to my dad more, cultivate the relationship I want with him

Who gets to say how an adult should live anyway?

Life is hard enough without people telling us we're doing it wrong.

There's a chance of seeing an aurora tonight. 🀞

Back to melbs today for a rave sesh tonight.

Operation unfuck downpipes seems to be going well. About half way there. Underestimated how long it'd take. $50 well spent on the 15m hose / gerni thing. Saved a few dollarydoos there. And credit where it's due the hose thing fits a really old gerni so it's nice to see a company not fuckn around w/ changing adapter / connection things that force you to buy more things.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 3 hours ago

even if they do, temu is a place of wonders. I got adapters for my older-than-methuselah Karcher (original K2) and blew out a blocked rainwater line to the street

[–] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 points 8 hours ago

Walking to swimming is so much more enriching for the kids and removes all the fucking around in the car park. We just need to get ready in time to do so

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Project Hail Mary time! The cinema gave us hacky sacks, very cute.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 7 hours ago

score! 🌍🌎🌏

spoilerWaking up straight into a panic. I am not handling life well

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The horrors persist. But so do we.

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 points 44 minutes ago

I don’t wanna 🫩

[–] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 5 points 10 hours ago

Recommend warm shower or if you can't stand that long just splash water on your face, drink water and taste it and stand breathing concentrating on the soles of your feet on the floor.

Or if you can't get up yet. Phone down . Close eyes and listen for all the sounds you can hear.

Hugs. Night terrors suck

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I need to not drink and internet.

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Did you buy something silly?

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I miss omegle for this exact reason

"Why yes, of course my masculinity revolves around carrying all the shopping into the house in one go, why do you ask?"

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 5 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Bro, your heart. Embrace middle age wisdom and be gentle with yourself.

Mama ocean. The weather is weird but the water was lovely

[–] Force_majeure1234@aussie.zone 7 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

4.5 hours of overtime to do today. We've been too busy to fit in some necessary training about upcoming regulatory changes so they asked us to do it today. Im okay with it, 2x pay 😁

Silver lining!!!

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 2 points 9 hours ago

Off to buy a fernery, Ni!
