From a spousal perspective: you know how sometimes you feel like you're dealing with a toddler and want to stuff them in the toilet? Meds will help drop that shit riiiight down
Homeopathic that shit, put it in a litre of water, then put 10ml into another litre of water then take a few drops on sugar pills. Back yard dexies here ya go.
Edit: thank you for the birthday wishes! Sending you all good vibes! 💜💜💜
I've been falling asleep to hour+ long videos on space, by Astrum Extra, so I don't know why I had a nightmare about
::: spoiler tw blood
Living alone and finding blood everywhere in my house, running to the neighbours for help, then waking up to find blood everywhere in my house, running to the neighbours for help, then waking up to find blood everywhere in my house, then running to the neighbours for help... And so on. It was a good 15-20 loops before I woke up at 3am.

The cat came and cuddled me so I fell back asleep and was fine. I'm not upset, just tripped out lol.
Second ADHD assessment appointment for my partner today, so another trip across the city. Gonna treat myself with a cafe coffee, because it's my birthday 😂
My beautiful friend came over yesterday, and made a delicious soup, healing for the mind, body, and soul. I feel so happy to have spent the day with them. They got to meet Mickey, we took a walk, it was great! They gave me their guitar, so I've been practicing last night - gonna practice more this afternoon when I return. I do wish I had slightly longer, thinner fingers so I stop flattening the other strings when practicing chords, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it with practice.
Full moon this weekend. Plus hotter than expected weather. Expect weird shit to go down. Not liking the vibe rn. I will be avoiding crowds this weekend.
Cool. I usually am when I take the Minipeelers out though. I tend to go out earlier in the day on weekends, which they sometimes complain about, but you avoid a lot of afternoon crowds and evening shenanigans.
Gonna have a few celebritory drinks today/ tonight because of the perfect weather, the few birthdays this week on here and the man finishes up work today for a 3 week holiday. I am match ready.
It took me nearly a month after getting my psych to fill out uni support forms (which she did within 24 hours of asking) to actually submit them to the uni out of paralysis/shame/anxiety/whatever - I did it this morning and then got a response from the subject coordinator eerily quickly... was out doing fieldwork and told myself I wouldn't read it till I got home because I was fully expecting a "no".
Turns out I got 10 days extension no questions asked. Fucking A. Sat with so much anxiety and avoidance for nothing.
Gonna celebrate by treating myself to an afternoon and evening of yet more PHM. Good good good. Thank!
Thanks for the birthday wishes yesterday everyone. It feels like I got a bigger response here from people I haven't met in person compared to what I ever got from people I know on Facebook
I have just submitted my first rental application, which was slightly terrifying. It is a lot more involved than the last time I was looking for a private rental (over 20 years ago!)
Hopefully they haven't just rented it to someone else, the landlord falls in love with Mr Woof and Miss Meow when they see the pictures, the property will be just as I imagine it in real life and I won't have to look at any others. Unlikely, but I can hope!
Almost sounds blissful. I'm the only person in Australia with my first name + last name combo. If you meet another person in Australia with my last name, I am 100% related to them 😂
Oh I bet I had a more generic white guy name. I think my name was the most common boys name the year I was born. Couple that with one of the top 5 English surnames and every ID check I ever did failed cause it had to go through an extensive review cause no one believed that was my real name.
There have always been a bunch of Thomas's around for me. There's one guy at work also called thomas with the same initials as me, so that could get very confusing in the project management software
Aaaand Trump goes back on the tariffs, and nobody is surprised because the country is run by toddlers basically. Stock markets are back up. Wonder which of his friends made a pretty penny by buying during the low and selling for an overnight 5-9% profit
I'm surprised they even happened. I thought they'd be the sorry of things he talks about forever and never actually does. But I guess this is like the Muslim ban; do it, revoke it, blame other people, and talk about it without ever implementing it again
Almost feels like he did it purely to be able to boast to the American public that he (allegedly) had world leaders kissing his ass at a recent dinner due to these tariffs.
In other words - it's all just a fucking show leading up to an ever more disgusting version of politics from which there feels like there is no going back...
I’m waiting for the announcement of 1 millionth percent tariff on China, and for MAGA voters to keep insisting Trump knows exactly what he’s doing and America is now great again. I want to laugh, but am so sad for the Americans who didn’t want this. Another day in the American clown show.
They are so cute. It’s so nice to have wildlife around! Is it possible he lost part of his tail? The ones I’ve seen have a tail that narrow to a thinner point. Unless this is a different species. It’s amazing how tiny some of them are.
Just saw first comedy show if the season. So so good. Saw: He Huang (absolute best of the night), Nazeem Hussein, Dave Hughes, and an Australian/African girl who's name I sadly forgot who was second best for me - has her own show and is going to be on taskmaster this season. It was a work social club thing and I almost bailed but I'm so glad it didn't. Buzzing 😊
I have van. Now I'm waiting for an assessment of whether the reversing camera can be installed without a new head unit 🤞
It is nice sitting up high and being able to see further, but it will take a while to get used to primarily using the side mirrors. I have so far managed to avoid turning on the windscreen wipers instead of the blinkers.
Edit: this is taking much longer than anticipated.
2nd Edit: I will need a new head unit. The good news is they can do it tomorrow, so will be able to back more confidently very soon. I did manage to back into my carport without too much trouble when I got home, although the sensors' beeping adds a new feeling of drama to the process.
Seconding getting the head unit upgraded to one that has carplay/android auto (if it doesn't already) - it makes SO much difference. Got it done on my car and while it was a strain on the wallet in one hit, it has paid off in scads from all the times it has made navigation etc so much better (and safer) than a mounted phone.
It will be having android auto - it has some connection already, but it might just be to play music. I have a TomTom gps unit that I actually really like for navigation, both because it keeps the maps downloaded and doesn't need internet connection and because the dashboard or windscreen mount position is better to look at than in the centre console.
A bit, but looking at the forecast, bloody hell it just looks like summer redux - 28-31 from Sunday through to Wednesday?! Throw some cool days in there mang... this isn't the autumn I signed up for 😭
Just think, someone had to make that carpet, someone else had to decide to stock it to sell, and someone else had to buy it for this to happen. So many people you have to wonder "what were they thinking?!"
That actually sounds very nice, especially as I know you collect seashells and things. Before this place, my houses all had an antique store jungle bazaar vibe. Since I had the kids and started living here it's been no indoor plants and nothing quirky and interesting, just a very practical and boring "doesn't matter if it gets dirty/found on someone's nature strip" vibe. With the exception of the kids art and photos of course.
Having some colour is definitely good. Especially atfer looking too long at the modern grey look everything is done in these days. But there can be too much of a good thing.
Suddenly have an absolutely raging craving for prawns. Nice juicy prawn heads drowning in flavour... maybe a nice prawn curry or tacos... that'll be tomorrow's treat.
Meanwhile it's back to having the fan on full blast to try and get to sleep. Too hot in here!
Akshully, Bunnings has inserts with dog doors that can be put in floor to ceiling glass doors. Basically a long thin strip with a dog door at the bottom. The one in the picture looks pretty amazing though.
When this under 16 ban comes in I’m going to lose all the collected art resources I carefully organised and all my YouTube playlists…
VPNs get you banned or shadowbanned but kids under 16 won’t care. They could just keep churning through a bunch of new accounts, the disposability encouraging them to do whatever they want.
But for me when I’m unwell and can’t do much else I spend a lot of time collecting and organising reference photos, art tutorials, and posts with links to free art books. There’s a few years worth that will be near impossible to back up.
And I don’t know what sites will be affected which makes it hard to even try to start migrating.

I have much more to say about that but I’m tired -_-
I could but at the moment it might be a bit of a steep learning curve for me. And if it gets picked up as changing where my traffic comes from I’ll probably be banned (so instead of inaccessible everything would just be gone)
Got a bit of a headcold going on, so off work today. Went for a slow stroll out in the sunshine and oh my god it was glorious. Takes just a couple of grey days to really appreciate the sunshine.
You can do this Low! a 5% late penalty is not the end of the world. I guarantee you it will not even register on your mind 10, 20, 30 years later and when you're on your deathbed reflecting on the things that mattered to you.
And truth be told academic structures are not always conducive to those with attention disorders. I am only smashing it at my current job because the deadlines are all within 2 weeks, the projects are almost all short term, and there is support and advice available most of the time. I don't think I will do any further study for quite a long time after I finish this cursed subject and degree.
Partner officially diagnosed with ADHD, and a treatment plan now in place. I'm so proud of him!
We got back to Brunswick, had a couple of Doppel Ename from Mokum, and then got some beer from Blackhearts and Sparrows. It's been a lovely birthday.
Thank you all so much for your birthday wishes and good vibes!! I don't know where I would be without you all! 💜💜💜
Aweeesooomee.
From a spousal perspective: you know how sometimes you feel like you're dealing with a toddler and want to stuff them in the toilet? Meds will help drop that shit riiiight down
Is it wrong to call out for some spare dexies? Asking for a friend.
"hook us up bruh, I have an exam tomorrow!"
I can't spare a square.
I found a bag of meth I'm not planning on taking.
I don't need meth. I've seen what that does. No thank you.
Homeopathic that shit, put it in a litre of water, then put 10ml into another litre of water then take a few drops on sugar pills. Back yard dexies here ya go.
You ask a cancer patient for some spare fentanyl? Don't dude that dude, c'mon.
Relax hun, it was a joke yeah. Relax.
I feel it in my bones lol 😂
Ooh belated happy birthday and congrats on the diagnosis for the spud adjacent human.

Full moon this weekend. Plus hotter than expected weather. Expect weird shit to go down. Not liking the vibe rn. I will be avoiding crowds this weekend.
I've been on the fence about going out, but now my interest is piqued further.
Just a feeling in my bones. Don't get these often but I've learned to listen. Stay safe everyone.
Aww man, I was gonna go see the Minecraft movie
You still can. Just be careful.
Cool. I usually am when I take the Minipeelers out though. I tend to go out earlier in the day on weekends, which they sometimes complain about, but you avoid a lot of afternoon crowds and evening shenanigans.
::: spoiler Gonna be a lot of bungholes out there
:::
::: spoiler Nope

I am the great cornholio!
I need TP for my bunghole
Are you threatening me!?
Average conversation in my area…
are those those burrowing owls? So cute.
there's a movie about 'em https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoot_(film)
Yeah burrowing owls. I wish I was cute and fluffy and could hide in a hole in the ground…
like a hobbit?
Exactly like a hobbit
Awooooooò.
Ooh, thanks for the reminder - moons do make people whacko. Kinda pleased I can stay home this weekend

Good luck!
Only
23 wake ups so far. Not bad.That reminds me. There's several Simon's at work. I'm very unaccustomed to having the same name as other people.
Ive only ever met 1 other person with my real name.
Feels odd to call someone else by my name.
3 wakes, 3 recovering from migraine wakes because i have to pee
name, i don't meet many people with my first name and have met none with my last
I dropped my weird religious name and am left with a John Smith grade common white guy name.
Ezekiel?
Jebediah
That's a cruel name
Could also be Job or Onan
They're all pretty normal names as far as names go. Wrong religion too.
Wayan Darren Jones?
Ooh okay. I always thought that biblical names we're especially weird.
Not familiar with names from other religions that much.
Almost sounds blissful. I'm the only person in Australia with my first name + last name combo. If you meet another person in Australia with my last name, I am 100% related to them 😂
I have my husband's surname. If I met someone else with that surname, we are related.
same
both a blessing and a curse
Oh I bet I had a more generic white guy name. I think my name was the most common boys name the year I was born. Couple that with one of the top 5 English surnames and every ID check I ever did failed cause it had to go through an extensive review cause no one believed that was my real name.
Got a better last name now I'm married though.
I know some arabs that named their twin boys Jesus and Moses (in arabic) and then there's little brother Adam.
Next one would be Eve?
There maybe more. I don't know.
The first three people I met with name, we're all in my grade 8 class. Thankfully our surnames had different initials.
There have always been a bunch of Thomas's around for me. There's one guy at work also called thomas with the same initials as me, so that could get very confusing in the project management software
Aaaand Trump goes back on the tariffs, and nobody is surprised because the country is run by toddlers basically. Stock markets are back up. Wonder which of his friends made a pretty penny by buying during the low and selling for an overnight 5-9% profit
All his cronies would have gotten a nice payday.
But it's all legal though!!!
I doubt it's legal.
it is if you gut the SEC and stack the supreme court so there is no enforcement.
Neither is most of the shit he's done, and yet here we are.......
It’s exhausting to be honest, it’s generating so much news and tension over several industries leaving them with a bleak future ahead.
Been seeing talk of insider trading. Think that’s got any truth to it?
I sold at the bottom and bought cheese kranskys :(
Still winning though.
I'm surprised they even happened. I thought they'd be the sorry of things he talks about forever and never actually does. But I guess this is like the Muslim ban; do it, revoke it, blame other people, and talk about it without ever implementing it again

there was a notice on my payment page from aliexpress about tariffs.
Chinese people expect many Americans to direct their anger at them and they are right, they just don't understand that trump lied and lied and lied
Got a new phone and now I've been locked out of my banking app in trying to set it up 🤦🏼♀️ Will have to sort it out tomorrow. I'm kind of annoyed.
gecko frens living on the front porch 🦎🥰
Love these little dudes even though it's a bit less nice when they're inside the house and leave their poo around (but still so helpful otherwise)
They are so cute. It’s so nice to have wildlife around! Is it possible he lost part of his tail? The ones I’ve seen have a tail that narrow to a thinner point. Unless this is a different species. It’s amazing how tiny some of them are.
i do think this gecko has lost a bit of his tail, it's too stubby , a lot of predatory birds around here so that's probably how he lost it
it was such a lovely surprise to see them both 🙂
Just saw first comedy show if the season. So so good.

if your existing headunit doesnt have carplay/android auto just replace the headunit anyway. its a game changer!

Got a covid and flu shot yesterday and I am zonked.
but it's good to have the shots 🙂 hope you feel better real soon
shit I gotta do that
Covid was free, flu was $20. Just sorta mentioned it at the doctors and they had it all ready to go.
Had some absolutely funky dreams last night. Vivid, memorable and absolutely bonkers.
Last time I drink sugar free lemonade before bed time.
Power is out, right before I could make breakfast.
Hopefully it’ll come back sooner rather than later I’m all prepared for it!
Ahoyhoy
Angle grinding done. Not touching that thing for a while. Fiesty little fucker.
Pretty sparks though.
Sitting in the sun on my lunch break is good for my soul
On the reptile train today aswell.
Ol' boy caught this (in the wild) on his trip to N. vic last w/e.
I've never seen one in person.
bearded dragon?
that's so cool.
anyone else got that "First hot day of spring" kind of high thanks to the weather?
Nah. It's more "last bit of summer" "what big items can I wash?" before hibernation starts for me.
I'm gonna pressure wash a rug.
Very satisfying.
Yep. Definitely wash-the-oodie weather
Dressing gowns and blankets today 👍
Feels like summer, looks distinctly autumn through with the trees changing colours. It's weird but I don't hate not being cold.
A bit, but looking at the forecast, bloody hell it just looks like summer redux - 28-31 from Sunday through to Wednesday?! Throw some cool days in there mang... this isn't the autumn I signed up for 😭
Thank heavens for portable power packs.
Getting through the day with them.
It's still not back on? What's going on there?
Line maintenance apparently.
Been off since about 8:30am.
Loaded some movies on an iPad and have podcasts downloaded on my phone for some background noise.
Just about to go play on my Switch to pass the time.
Went to the gym at lunchtime today. It's 2 doors down, then got some sushi as a treat.
I usually just wander around aimlessly on lunch breaks so I'm glad I'm getting my workout without having to wake up at 5am or get home late.
Anyone looking for ideas for carpet?
::: spoiler here's an idea for you! :::
Just think, someone had to make that carpet, someone else had to decide to stock it to sell, and someone else had to buy it for this to happen. So many people you have to wonder "what were they thinking?!"
Walks across the room
seasick
how did you find MILs 70s carpet? She had lovely matching shantung cushions and curtains.
looked like a cinema or hotel
I love that vibe
i like something a little more calming
Fair enough.
akshully , I do very plain walls and rugs and stuff , that's so I can cover the walls with art prints, with reliefs and the shelves with object .
That actually sounds very nice, especially as I know you collect seashells and things. Before this place, my houses all had an antique store jungle bazaar vibe. Since I had the kids and started living here it's been no indoor plants and nothing quirky and interesting, just a very practical and boring "doesn't matter if it gets dirty/found on someone's nature strip" vibe. With the exception of the kids art and photos of course.
I have to admit I kinda like it. Then again, I grew up in a brown Berber and fake walnut veneer paradise so anything oddly colourful appeals to me.
Having some colour is definitely good. Especially atfer looking too long at the modern grey look everything is done in these days. But there can be too much of a good thing.
So 70s chic.
It’s giving suburban RSL or casino vibes
what a beautiful day out there 🌞
My kingdom for a chicken stock cube 👑
I have some but can’t throw that far
I thank you squire! 🗡️ you are a knight of the realm. 🗡️
Hold on a minute…
Ok, catch!
I've got chicken, beef and vegetable. And I'll throw in some vegan stock cubes completely free.
My mash is forever grateful 🫡🗡️
Anything other than OXO is disgraceful.

Melbourne black ibises.
Huh... different park, but the ones at mine were eating these....
::: spoiler spoiler :::
Slimy yet satisfying.
Thinking.
There are so many people I have a lot in common with and could get along with really well - if they would treat me with respect.
They’re always so shocked and angry when you set a boundary or leave, too. Like… you expect me to just take that?
::: spoiler Why can't we buy this style of non-permanent pet door in Australia? :::
Akshully, Bunnings has inserts with dog doors that can be put in floor to ceiling glass doors. Basically a long thin strip with a dog door at the bottom. The one in the picture looks pretty amazing though.
They do, I have one I use at my parent's place. But if you don't have a sliding door they are not much use.
I don't know, but that is an awesome idea.
I would have loved to have one of those before princess got jailed
