Damn, it was called early. What happened? I thought it was going to be a close one.
Dutton happened :)
And he loses his seat too, nothing better.
Happy voting day, everyone. Eat your sausage
Postal vote ready to be witnessed and mailed right after, and my antibiotic script here to fill. Iβm really not feeling tops but need to sort these things out, try and get out of these weeds.
I fumbled an earlier dental appointment and was extremely upset about it but touch wood I can be seen this week.
TW dental, pain management, pain meds
I am a bit worried about pain management post extraction though. I think Iβll be refusing the prescription painkillers and wondering if I will be able to power through with just Panadol and ibuprofen.
For what itβs worth the root canals were surprisingly bearable, couple of Panadol the first few days and fine at least until the infection returned. But this is a second molar extraction on the bottom jaw under local and the roots may be a bit oddly shaped. My jaw dislocates under pressure. And Iβm fretting a bit about dry socket.
I do know not to take ibuprofen too soon after due to the risk of interfering with clotting.
Home made kofta kebabs, retro video games, music and cat cuddles.
Heaven.
Iβm already stressing about results. What if I somehow miscalculated and helped allow dipshits in. Too late now.
I wish I could distract myself

You know that bit where Mr Burns laughs at the injured Irishman....? Can someone redo that but with Dutton losing?
Edit- this one
I did the vote compass quiz thing, just to see where I land. Smack bang between Greens and ALP apparently lol.
I saw there is a rep for a Libertarian party in my seat, so I went to their website to check their policies and this gave me a chuckle

Stop treating me like a CHILD! I want to RIDE HORSES and PROSPECT in Victoria's National Parks! I'm an ADULT and I want THE GOLD RUSH AGAIN!
Edit:
meme time
The same person would be complaining of they saw what the masses would do to it, once it's gone it's gone.
We have surplus land that doesn't need protection from unrestrained greed.

My train ride home intersected with a bucks party. Nice boys
My first choice of polling booth had no democracy sausages so of course I left to find another with them.
The entrance to this polling booth is quite narrow so I got assaulted with how to vote pamphlets on entry with nowhere to run.
