My mind is quietening down. I am learning to shut up and listen with intent for the first time in my life. I've stopped running on caffiene and now enjoy afternoon naps and to wake up to find that my cats have crept onto the bed and are sleeping beside me afterwards fills me with joy. I still need some time off job hunting to work on my recovery but it's going really well so far. One day at a time. I think to bang on the benefits of joining aa is probably unnecessary but I will I've felt more love from the new people I've met in the program than I've felt from most of my real life friends in the last I don't know how many years. I've also found better support for my transition here than in any other place other that I sought out and got myself through professional services. I spent so much time in my community last week I can still feel the euphoria as well, but their support is automatic, yours is a something I am truly grateful for as it's coming from strangers who may or may not know about the incredible personal journeys we go through in the early stages of hormome replacement therapy.

Thank you all, except the person who downvotes all my comments, no thanks for you but no malice toward you either, what you think about me is none of my business.

Lmao someone or something has it out for me right now, just got the report back from a car I had inspected and it's another no go. I have looked at 6 cars, and had 3 of them inspected, and all have been duds in one way or another. It's not even like I'm looking on the low end, I've a little over 20k to burn, surely things should be decent for that price.

Ditched Woolies mobile. Decided the saving wasn’t worth it if it didn’t work. Back in Telstra and my phones back in full working order. Can’t believe the difference a proper internet connection makes to the lack of lag!

Good morning folks, hope y'all had a great weekend! I built my Nissian Skyline GT-R Lego set and it looks great. Now I just need to see where to put it... somewhere on my bookshelf.

So we updated to 0.18, less than 30mins later already had 120 bots already signed up. Wish we didn't have to turn on applications on :(

But custom emoji is going to be fun

My dishwasher seems to be on the blink and I just do not want to deal.

So happy that doggo slept through the night! Before we took her in for surgery she would wake up every night between 4-5am needing to throw up. Post-surgery she would get the crazies after 1am - crying, running around, wanting to go outside to do her business/throw up (sometimes all at the same time). Vet examined her/did bloodwork and said nothing suspicious came up so we figured it was due to her being in pain. Fingers crossed she's now on the mend (and that we can actually get some sleep this week).

I'm looking at the Financial Review online, and have just noticed that where other papers have a section for "money" they have a section for "wealth". Definitely a different clientele.

Edit: I just read an article stating that investors are starting to wonder whether owning a holiday home is "still" part of the Australian Dream. I am startled to learn that people ever thought it was.

I just learned about monkeytype which is a simple typing test site to test your keyboard kung-fu. My first attempt and Bing tells me I'm a pro.. noice. Thanks, years of all-night mIRC when I was a teenager! Back in those days I could type flawlessly without looking at the keyboard OR screen, including ALT codes for ASCII symbols. And my dad told me I was wasting my life... LOOK AT ME NOW, DAD!

Image is a screenshot of my monkeytype results

Jeez, is it bed time yet?

Apple says 11, BOM says 5. Decided to grab the beanie scarf and gloves on top of the jacket just in case. Good call. That wind makes it feel colder than it is.

I’ve noticed the stress and anxiety build up, both on line and at home, surrounding the purchase of Taylor Swift tix.

Surely there’s a German phrase for this very specific instance.

Does anyone else think about orcas wearing hats? Ever since I read the story, and saw the pics, I've been wondering what other silly fads they have and does this mean The Little Mermaid is a documentary?

Saw so many stray kitties today on my last day in indo.

Locals seems to look after them (to an extent at least).

Had a few pats even though they're super shy.

Most liked the head scratches.. universal international language of kitto.

Don't know why I thought now was a good time to reduce my caffeine intake.

Mild headache today and I've come home cooked AF.

Missing my home time espresso to perk up for the evening.

Was very hard to convince myself to put some veggies in the oven to roast
