I can't concentrate today. A close friend was in a bike vs car (cars fault) yesterday. They are still in hospital but ok -multiple fractures and chest trauma but could have been much worse. I spent yesterday babysitting and helping out and I thought I was ok but I keep getting the shakes today. I feel silly. I need to concentrate but I keep thinking about it.
I feel silly. I need to concentrate but I keep thinking about it.
Bro. Dont feel silly at all. PERFECTLY normal to have this reaction to trauma. Take a day off, be kind to yourself. Go for a walk, get a cuppa and process.
Thanks. I know that intellectually. I know that it's also smashed me right back to childhood where there were a couple of big bad life changing moments like this. I don't know why I expect I would ever be over that but I do. Thanks. I am gonna make a cuppa.
Thanks Tiny, I've got the washing out! I must be on the same bus as this morning (RIP nose) and the driver's going flat out like it's Targa Coburg , so I may get home in time!
Maybe some very old fashioned notions of what constitutes masculinity. Back before the AIDS crisis of the 80s, it was fairly normal for men to be very very hesitant about wearing condoms - fearing that this would compromise said masculinity as well as being uncomfortable. And unplanned pregnancy for their wives/girlfriends was a validation of that same masculinity and was something to boast about. Attitudes like that stink on ice nowadays, but still happen.
I'm grateful that I can drive with reasonable ease. I was in a major accident last year (hit by a semi trailer at high speed) and my car was squished. I somehow walked away with only minor injuries and I was back driving quickly, and I've made myself drive regularly, but it's only in the last few weeks that it's started to feel normal rather than something super stressful. Healing.
Grateful for cats, even though fluffle is in velcro mode and stopping me from getting stuff done. Time with kiddo on the school holidays, one day he'll be too big to want to hang with mum for the day. Understanding tutors who don't make you feel stupid when you went 500 miles in the wrong direction on an assignment. Sunshine. Home-made banana bread.
Spoke to my friend who got hit by a car. She's still in hospital and in for a big recovery but it could have been a lot worse. I'm so relieved. I just don't understand how someone can sail out onto a roundabout and clean up someone right in front of them on the roundabout (who also has right of way). I really like being on public transport more and more.
I almost had two accidents on round abouts the other day in my large bull bar'd van. Both times people cutting in front of me turning right. I'm one of the fewer people who use their indicators for direction and exit in the roundabout too. In retrospect, I'm thinking about selling it, so with the dash cam maybe I should just go for the write off.
My dental checkup this morning led to two fillings as well. One of them is just a fairly short term fix and I'll need to look at a crown when it fails. Tomorrow I have an appointment with the dental surgeon, who will be removing a broken tooth, before doing two implants in a couple of months.
I've been saving up towards all this for a while, but the money is going to be disappearing very quickly. The decision to sign up for extras on the health insurance again was definitely a good one - stretching the timeframe for getting the crowns over a couple of years will mean I'm getting more back than I have paid in premiums for at least 3 years, four if the filling today lasts long enough.
If you can, get a referral to Western Special Needs Dentistry - they are so damn good and completely non-judgey. They do a lot of work for people with sensory issues and phobias and are completely up to speed on that sort of thing. See my comment below.
Good for you! Dental stuff has to be the least favourite for most. Yeah, quotes on a new aligner run was 6.5k. Was hoping it’d be half that, so will be putting that off till next year.
None of it is cheap. I'm grateful I'm in a position that the work can be done and that I can manage to afford it. My mother has a lot of problems with her teeth, can't get implants because she does not have enough bone density (and it wasn't available earlier in her life when it might have been possible) and she is having a lot of trouble with dentures not fitting well. It really impacts what she is able to eat. It has very much motivated me to do everything I can for my teeth now. I'd rather skip a few holidays and drive an older car now instead of having all of those issues later. I just wish I could go back in time and get my younger self into good toothbrushing habits earlier in life so I'd have less work needing to be done now.
sometimes it doesn't matter what you do, I have a teeny tiny skull and my teeth don't fit
in Australia there is a policy of trying to keep every tooth so Miss Seagoon had spacers since the age of 6. When we moved to Europe she had 4 premolars taken out and braces for 18 months. The Euro dentists said the crowding would never improve and would smash her teeth
I had a couple of teeth removed when I was in my early teens because my teeth didn't fit. Then the other jaw ended up with 2 wisdom teeth removed because there was not enough room for them to come through. I think the lower jaw was still a bit too crowded - all of the front teeth overlap and used to be jammed so tightly together I couldn't floss. Since losing another couple of teeth in that jaw I think they've shifted a bit as I'm able to floss there now.
Feels. As a kid I had about 10 teeth taken out because my jaw was very small and my teeth were extra large. Left me with a lasting fear of dentists and a major needle phobia. Which led to major neglect for the next 40 years or so. I've just had my remaining teef pulled and been fitted with dentures. Huge relief. I cannot recommend Western Special Needs Dentistry highly enough. They were so damn good, helped me through the process despite the needle phobia. Completely non-judgy. They do a lot of repair work for people with phobias or other problems.
Overwhelmed. When I had tinyest in their recently there was a kid with the same name as my kid who was just totally over it. I just wanted to give him a hug, his dad was doing his absolute best but just couldn't distract him. Dad probably needed a hug too.
Overwhelmed, and as it is also a medical centre the kid might have been feeling unwell to start with. I've broken down in tears at the chemist as an adult when I was feeling unwell, so I can definitely sympathise.
His Mum was managing to distract him for brief periods and he'd be all smiles for a short period, then the whole situation would dawn on him again and he would be on the floor wailing. I expect a long nap will be in his future and hopefully his afternoon is better than his morning was.
I'm not much of a baker, I made a few errors. Shredded instead of granular dessicated coconut being a big one. Turns out I used coconut flour instead of white, I found the label tucked away inside the jar. But there's no unmixing stuff so I've got this batch of maybe carlos.
If that is true I take the mad scientist approach most of the time and make things up as I go. It usually gives a pretty good result. If you want something really specific or finicky (like a sponge cake) you need to be very precise about everything, but most baking is actually pretty forgiving once you've learned the basic techniques.
Ooh, what did you have? I had a dream that my sister was pregnant and it was such a convincing dream that I had to wake up and check my chats with her to make sure it wasn't real.
Yesterday was bleak. Hangover and new illness all hitting at once. Feeling better after a good sleep in. Taking the day off otherwise - without sick leave feels different, no work no money is the sucky part of being self employed.
Got to witness the birth of a bogan-mobile over the weekend. Some neighborhood teens were trying to install a f off exhaust on a red p plated commodore.... with a hammer. I REALLY wanted to roll up my selves and jump under the car with them and go "right, lets get this bastard on. Then we're tackling the sub and installing the LEDs strips under the dash right? Also if your headunit isn't already multicolored LED we're ripping that out too!"
Sitting in a fish and chips shop in Melton and a dude saunters in wearing a dressing gown, beard and ponytail. This guy should be on a government list.
I saw a guy in the chemist dressed like Hugh Hefner at around lunch time, talking to the staff like they're his work mates, waiting for the little side door to open.
Had a mate sell his first car recently. He is in his mid 30s now, and yes it was a toyota. Sad day for him.
I decided to look up my first car's rego. Loved the shit outta that thing, sold it probably 12 years ago? maybe more. It was utterly ruined when I sold it! A combination of its previous owner, age, high km and a young 20 something me living his rally fuckboi fantasies in it. The rego was cancelled jan this year. So it went on to be driven (or at least parked and rego paid) for another 12+ years. Cant believe it!
The quote I got to keep it on the road 2011/2012 was $10k. I sold it for 2.
Im a bit heartbroken. I coulda kept it going way longer than I thought.
Wonder if I can order the number plate and just shelve it for now till I can one day stick it on a WRX?
Dunno. I THINK the place I traded it in sold it for like 7-8k. Cant imagine you buy it then spend that money again on keeping her going. She was nice, but she wasnt a collectors item or anything.
my first was an Austin 1800 , then I got a Holden station wagon and after that a gemini diesel, then after that a bmw 318 , then an avocado saab, then a blue one, no car since then
I think my first car got hauled off for scrap. It was a Corolla, I think from some time in the 70s. The panels were about 50% fibreglass patches at that point and I was not in the slightest attached to it.
I managed to total the next two cars and claim insurance money, so even though I have bought 4 cars in my life I've never actually sold one.
If we're counting cars registered to me... I'm on my... 5th. But 1 of those was a holden cruze so its understandable why THAT didnt last long haha. And my 4th was sold to save my mrs's ass on her car.
Do you already have a piano? You can always make a start yourself, learn the things you want to and lessons can be for theory and learning standard notation
There are some great piano basic courses on TouTube. You can get a very decent grounding on Piano for free. Get someone who plays to have a look at your hands after a bit in case your technique needs correcting.
This pathway requires a bit of self discipline, but then again - so does Uni.
This is why I pushed myself out of the excessively comfy couch and threw together meal prep at 11:00pm last night. The joy of already having food available cannot be underestimated.
BOM app is showing me 50% chance of at least 1mm from 10pm onwards and not much before that. I'm going to guess most of this rain will be overnight and possibly during the morning commute tomorrow (joy...). Hopefully it clears up by the late morning. Gotta be out from 9-12.
Miss moobeans has decided that only the Dine Desire or Fancy Feast Royale will do. Noooo! They’re quite expensive and low in nutrition (and substance) but after a week of refusing the healthy affordable brand she remains steadfast. The posh stuff is mostly gel and smells artificially savoury like Maggi noodles. I wonder what they put in there.
Colesworth is like twice the price per tin so I will give up and order a slab or two from PC to keep her having wet food.
It's great having a workplace that is supportive of clear boundaries. Am learning to hesitate less when saying "no, I can't do any more". Could feel myself getting very tired and cranky if I pushed on into overtime again to do the one last overdue task, so I'm glad I got to leave on time, and the task got reallocated to someone else (who prolly should've done it themselves anyway).
Made the tacos today with the jackfruit and pickled onions and guac. Bloody delicious if I say so myself. Looking forward to more of it tomorrow and the day after! It's gonna be an early night for me, I think.
anyone know a place that does small (like, abotu five) plastic card / keyring runs? I've made up a bunch of little paper cards that I can just scan instead of trying to shove my phone into the CDS membership scanner, but even thick card get all crumply :(
Interview 1: Not too bad I think.
Interview 2: Not enough tech knowledge sadly.
Meeting set for 10am tomorrow about police check with General Manager.
2 interviews to go.
Edit: Interview 3 went OK I believe.
Interview 4 has been postponed.
4 interviews in one day is full on! Good luck with the rest, and tomorrow's meeting.
🤞🤞🤞
I can't concentrate today. A close friend was in a bike vs car (cars fault) yesterday. They are still in hospital but ok -multiple fractures and chest trauma but could have been much worse. I spent yesterday babysitting and helping out and I thought I was ok but I keep getting the shakes today. I feel silly. I need to concentrate but I keep thinking about it.
Hug your peeps my peeps.
Bro. Dont feel silly at all. PERFECTLY normal to have this reaction to trauma. Take a day off, be kind to yourself. Go for a walk, get a cuppa and process.
Thanks. I know that intellectually. I know that it's also smashed me right back to childhood where there were a couple of big bad life changing moments like this. I don't know why I expect I would ever be over that but I do. Thanks. I am gonna make a cuppa.
so many hugs
so many hugs and hope your close friend gets better soon
thanks :-)
Completely understandable! Speedy recovery for your friend and take care of yourself!
Today I managed to finally get ahold of my step mum and found out my dad was ok and I finally got a text message from him.
I guess with his recent illness it’s really taken a toll on him.
Anyway I’m glad to hear from him and just told him to rest up.
In other news my clothes smell like curry from when I made it last nights.
That's a real relief that your dad is ok. What curry were you making? I think I'm due for a nice Thai curry later this week.
I did a butter chicken curry which is mild enough for me to eat. It’s pretty tasty.
I wish I could tolerate spiciness. One day I’d like to eat a curry laksa but it’s too spicy :(
Oh that's good news. Glad he is ok
A present from my man
Love it!
CEO is so lucky 🥰
everyone loves snoopy 💝
Nervous about the meeting tomorrow. Can't stop thinking about it.
Going to have an early night I think.
Hopefully will have some good news tomorrow. Hopefully.
Goodnight everyone ❤️
Good luck! 💜
Have a good sleep, and best of luck tomorrow
Good night and good luck. 💗
🤞🤞🤞🤞
Today sucks. Have been feeling crappy all day, and feel like I barely had a break over the weekend. Suddenly I understand the hatred of Mondays.
you told us why
Haha I understood this reference
im old greeeg
🤭
Emergency temporal shift to another day?
A rare weekend where I avoided all social media and the news. What happened while I was gone?
A couple of numbats popped in.
Into our sacred space? How dare they!
They are cute little buggers indeed/
Nah, it's all good. They didn't have much to say.
Right. I'm still not sure if Numbats are a good thing or bad thing this context.
Good thing. I guess you had to be there.
downfall of humanity, same as always.
Carry on then!!
Getting up this morning? I'm agin it. You have permission not to. I'll sign a note for your bosses saying so.
Wish I'd seen this two hours ago. Was late because it was stupidly hard to get out of bed. But, now I'm here... and just missing my bed!
be really tired and under the weather at work then call in sick tomorry
heads up we got some rain incoming. The forecast looks considerably worse than it did yesterday. And we are gonna get wet tonight by the sound of it.
Sorry - I bought an awesome but not at all waterproof puffer jacket the other day. I have clearly doomed us all
Thanks Tiny, I've got the washing out! I must be on the same bus as this morning (RIP nose) and the driver's going flat out like it's Targa Coburg , so I may get home in time!
No rain here yet but I've seen the weather change. It was practically dark at 4:30
something is very wrong with those people, 7 children and he's only 29
cult perhaps?
Maybe some very old fashioned notions of what constitutes masculinity. Back before the AIDS crisis of the 80s, it was fairly normal for men to be very very hesitant about wearing condoms - fearing that this would compromise said masculinity as well as being uncomfortable. And unplanned pregnancy for their wives/girlfriends was a validation of that same masculinity and was something to boast about. Attitudes like that stink on ice nowadays, but still happen.
eye for an eye? nah fuck that. Public execution. There are some crimes so great that rehabilitation isnt in the public interests.
nah rather a public example is made of them.
I avoid the news usually so I had a google. I'm lost for words. Those poor babies.
Despite my grumbling, happy to have 4 interviews today, and a call from legal team to find out what can be done about expunging my record
Got some good financial news yesterday which takes some of the stress off my shoulders
Fluffy butt as per usual
Meeting tomorrow with the GM of the company that gave me the offer so I can discuss the police check. Hoping tomorrow I'm grateful for a job
I'm grateful that I can drive with reasonable ease. I was in a major accident last year (hit by a semi trailer at high speed) and my car was squished. I somehow walked away with only minor injuries and I was back driving quickly, and I've made myself drive regularly, but it's only in the last few weeks that it's started to feel normal rather than something super stressful.

I am grateful my fence gets fixed tomorrow. Let's see how happy I am tomorrow when there's banging and power tools and little dog going off his nut.
I send the dog to Grandma's on days like that.
Spoke to my friend who got hit by a car. She's still in hospital and in for a big recovery but it could have been a lot worse. I'm so relieved. I just don't understand how someone can sail out onto a roundabout and clean up someone right in front of them on the roundabout (who also has right of way). I really like being on public transport more and more.
I'm so glad. There are some terrifying drivers out there.
I almost had two accidents on round abouts the other day in my large bull bar'd van. Both times people cutting in front of me turning right. I'm one of the fewer people who use their indicators for direction and exit in the roundabout too.

Kids are so dramatic. Kid in the waiting room flipping between screaming tantrum and smiling happy.

Mid day yawns are killing me right now. Had a solid night's rest, waited till 9 to have my coffee...to no avail.
Absolutely dying for a nap, but have meetings all afternoon.
Stupid cozy clothing.
A nice tea maybe?
Opted for a 2nd coffee instead.
Ugly jamless Monte Carlos.
Are they really meant to be Montes? 🥺 Doesn't matter I'd still give them a go. Well done 👏
I'm not much of a baker, I made a few errors. Shredded instead of granular dessicated coconut being a big one. Turns out I used coconut flour instead of white, I found the label tucked away inside the jar. But there's no unmixing stuff so I've got this batch of maybe carlos.
Baking is a science. I'm not a scientist. I applaud anyone who gives it a go. 👏
If that is true I take the mad scientist approach most of the time and make things up as I go. It usually gives a pretty good result. If you want something really specific or finicky (like a sponge cake) you need to be very precise about everything, but most baking is actually pretty forgiving once you've learned the basic techniques.
True but there's still a part of me that goes I hope it works I hope it works I hope it works 🤞
Tried one. They're tasty, but they're a chewing commitment. Should have used more lemon zest too.
Monte Carlos dont have jam for they? I thought it was some sort of sticky sherbet?
Mostly butter/icing sugar according to the recipe.
https://www.arnotts.com/articles/thevault/big-recipe-release
Looks good to me :)
I think they look better stacked up. The chewiness is stopping me from picking at them so maybe it's a boon.
I guess we all slept well last night ....
Well but it was my turn for the DT weird dreams ...
Ooh, what did you have? I had a dream that my sister was pregnant and it was such a convincing dream that I had to wake up and check my chats with her to make sure it wasn't real.
I had an adventure dream. Someone pick pocketed my handbag so I chased her, brought her down. Turns out she had stolen my Bic pen.
I would absolutely chase someone down to get a pen back!
No :( might have a sickie because I slept like shit
Passed out on the couch on a heated throw. Woke up briefly surrounded by snoring cats, reset the throw timer and went back to sleep
I'm up! Again!
weird ass dreams, dreamt i met famous people and i was intimidated so acted like an ass , doesn't matter if they were asses first
note to self, just remember, be gracious and have good manners , even if other people are asses, which most people aren't
Yesterday was bleak. Hangover and new illness all hitting at once. Feeling better after a good sleep in. Taking the day off otherwise - without sick leave feels different, no work no money is the sucky part of being self employed.

3 chairs done , now I have a system it's doesn't take too long
Chair tax when you're done please 🙏
you betcha 👍
I'm doing it for when the young Seagoons come back from NZ and stay a while :)
Clean doggo has been given couch privileges - invite only, hopefully...
Sitting in a fish and chips shop in Melton and a dude saunters in wearing a dressing gown, beard and ponytail. This guy should be on a government list.
I saw a guy in the chemist dressed like Hugh Hefner at around lunch time, talking to the staff like they're his work mates, waiting for the little side door to open.
Was the dressing gown dark blue? Could be the same weirdo
Nah, it was maroon.
Had a mate sell his first car recently. He is in his mid 30s now, and yes it was a toyota. Sad day for him. I decided to look up my first car's rego. Loved the shit outta that thing, sold it probably 12 years ago? maybe more. It was utterly ruined when I sold it! A combination of its previous owner, age, high km and a young 20 something me living his rally fuckboi fantasies in it. The rego was cancelled jan this year. So it went on to be driven (or at least parked and rego paid) for another 12+ years. Cant believe it! The quote I got to keep it on the road 2011/2012 was $10k. I sold it for 2.
Im a bit heartbroken. I coulda kept it going way longer than I thought.
Wonder if I can order the number plate and just shelve it for now till I can one day stick it on a WRX?
It likely had that $10k spent on it to keep it going.
Dunno. I THINK the place I traded it in sold it for like 7-8k. Cant imagine you buy it then spend that money again on keeping her going. She was nice, but she wasnt a collectors item or anything.

damn, dog walk took longer than anticipated and now I have to drink the coffee I just made in 5 mins. And Miss Meow will have an early lap eviction.
Edit: success! Made it to the dentist spot on time.

Ugh! My bus to work this morning smells like it's been used to smuggle rotten garlic and onions.
Pardon me I have been getting the food truck ready
Umami 🤤🤤

Good morning Bacon, A smiling enthusiastic face for 4 interviews today which I am absolutely looking forward to (hint hint).
Warm regards, Simon
😊😇😁😀😃😅😜🥰
Large chai latte and a cheese and chutney toastie plz chef

🧀🍅🥪
hot drink and toast please
🔥☕️🍞
Tea please Bacon.
☕️
Mushroom risotto with extra mushroom please
🍄🍲🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🟫🍄
One of these mushrooms looks sus. Did you source them all from a reputable grocer?
I'd respond to this comment but I'm dead now unfortunately
We do not source our mushrooms from grocers.
Trying to gather the will to do a quick dinner shop; I shouldn't have left it so late.
Hot dogs!
I went with rice vermicelli noodles, beef, bok choy, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce.
A noodley delight awaits!
This is why I pushed myself out of the excessively comfy couch and threw together meal prep at 11:00pm last night. The joy of already having food available cannot be underestimated.
I wish I could do that lol my executive functions are kaputt
People say I'm jealous, but my kink is watching...
The bom app has been claiming it's raining all day and it still isn't
Raining somewhere in Victoria lol
BOM app is showing me 50% chance of at least 1mm from 10pm onwards and not much before that. I'm going to guess most of this rain will be overnight and possibly during the morning commute tomorrow (joy...). Hopefully it clears up by the late morning. Gotta be out from 9-12.

I’m just kind of trudging along. Really tired
I use https://99petshops.com.au/ to find deals on bulk dog food.
As evil as Amazon is I've discovered that they do some wet pet foods in bulk considerably cheaper than Colesworth, it might be worth a check.

ted cat loves that stuff with gravy, it's full of flavour and easy to eat but as you say not very nutritious
I slowly weaned him off and he just eats fussy cat now , he gets no variety,
It's great having a workplace that is supportive of clear boundaries. Am learning to hesitate less when saying "no, I can't do any more". Could feel myself getting very tired and cranky if I pushed on into overtime again to do the one last overdue task, so I'm glad I got to leave on time, and the task got reallocated to someone else (who prolly should've done it themselves anyway).
Made the tacos today with the jackfruit and pickled onions and guac. Bloody delicious if I say so myself. Looking forward to more of it tomorrow and the day after! It's gonna be an early night for me, I think.
anyone know a place that does small (like, abotu five) plastic card / keyring runs? I've made up a bunch of little paper cards that I can just scan instead of trying to shove my phone into the CDS membership scanner, but even thick card get all crumply :(
Laminate them?
i bought a small laminating machine from big w and have used it heaps 👍
First thought, but leery as sometimes laminating barcodes can fuck up how the light bounces. See how we go next trip!
What about some of these bad boys?
