The AFL really needs to get its shit together.

To allow the opening game to happen with the cyclone over in QLD is pure insanity as much as I want to see my team play.

Move the opener to round 3 where the bye for the teams are or move it locally and tell people early so that they don’t make a dangerous trip to Brisbane.

Anyway that’s my rant for the day.

Yes, they should move that game to round 3. But also what even is this half-arsed 'opening round' nonsense? Just play a normal round of footy.

Tomorrow is Pancake Tuesday which means the following day is Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. Every year I give up sugar but it's not really much of a challenge because i don't eat that much of it so this year I've decided I'm giving up bread as well. (I love it, but it hates me).

So if there is something you'd like to give up, feel free to join me. You can do it for a week and see how you go or continue for the 40 + days. It's up to you.

I’m trying to stop doomscrolling and also trying to reduce negative social media.

It’s been really hard trying to replace it with other hobbies due to multiple barriers but all I can do is try to reduce

I will give up spinach for the week. Edit: AND I will give up 90% and above cocoa chocolate

My lenovo smart clock fell and the power cable snapped right on the metal barrel. It's a 20 volt power supply as well so I guess it's just trapezoidal ewaste now.

Maybe I'll get one with the wireless charger as ac replacement so I get a bit more convenience out of these things if they're going to spy on us

4 day weekend next weekend, but it can't come soon enough. Might have to slip in a mental health day somewhere this week

I think all the napping I did over the weekend screwed up my sleep last night.

It felt like I didn't sleep well and I "B set" of dreams.
