Today's weather forecast (Melbourne CBD, 3000): min - 16°C, max - 22°C. 25% chance of at least 1mm of rain

Emoji inspiration: I call this part of the year (the time between Boxing Day and New Year's Day) the "never-never times" because some things are open, others are closed, some people are working, a lot not, so fuck all gets done, and if you need anything besides food or groceries, you're basically SOL

Happy International Day of Epidemic Preparedness!

You could buy a new toothbrush to keep somewhere away from it, brush your teeth outside of the bathroom and spit the foam in the bin. Then rinse the brush in the kitchen sink, with a water bottle outside, or when you have to go to the toilet.

You could keep your clothes in your room in a lidded plastic tub and dress there.

I hope the heat at least means the situation resolves faster

Oh yeah all's good on that front. I'll get a new toothbrush tomorrow, probably. The clothes situation will be fine, at least for now. I've got all my washing in my room, I just need to put some of it away so I have a basket for dirty stuff etc

Me too. Really really me too. The smell is nauseating
