Melbourne

I survived day one of my new job and nobody is obviously crazy, I'll take this as a win.

The good news: there is an office dog (!).

The bad news: the office dog (and her mum) is on leave for next few weeks and the office is currently dogless.

Just want to thank everyone again for the support w/ all this stuff. Means a lot.

Today's activity is spraying oxalis w/ aerogard, glyphosate (hate that shit) and burning with the weed burner thing. in a few weeks getting a large unsafe branch lopped so will have the mulch to double down.

I was told I won't win but with a 'fuck everyting if you're oxalis' mentality I have a chance.

I'm surprised the aerogard works so quickly. Literally within the hour it ded. Just hope it's transported to the bulbs. The ones I did a few months ago haven't bounced so.. with any luck...

Nice personal day off so far. Nap in the sun with cat, time for some video games.

Edit: damn was a great nap. Destiny 1 is a great game.

Instruments of oxalis DOOOOM

Probably shouldn't have had the aerogard so close the weed burn thing lol.

My PC has the ability to connect to WiFi, except it won't. Password and whatnot are correct, but it just won't get the internet. BUT! If I connect to WiFi on my phone, and then hotspot it, the PC can connect to that. 🤦‍♀️

I'm gonna have to go into the router settings or something to have my pc be able to connect to the WiFi. I just have big CBF vibes today 💀

I wrote my work to-do list for the week and it's depressing, I have really fallen behind. I really need to be productive this week. Hopefully the small thrill of crossing off items keeps me going but for the last few weeks I have been really lacking motivation.

Lonny sea wall doing its thing:

There was a poor doggo that a couple was walking on the foreshore just as that wave hit and the little thing wasn't very impressed.

Cranky janky mood dissolved after a fantastic, uplifting and inspiring one on one with friend (and great food, and a walk both ways due to being in my hood).

I feel blessed to have friends like her - so deeply intelligent, capable and adventurous yet more than happy to get in the weeds with little ol' me 😊

YL bought this for her dad today. With her own money too. She says she bought it because she always buys stuff for me and dad would like it.

Goodnight all❤️

In the next episode of 'that's a bad idea for a weed burner' we have:

The "feels like" temp has hit 3.3^o^ so I'm heading out for a walk to enjoy the warmth 🤣

My body is maaaaaad. Owwie knee, upset tummy, bit of a headache. Opted to wfh today (enjoying it while I can!) and already wanting to just call it and go back to bed. 😭

Just SO cranky and short-fused today. Didn't help that I woke up late and realised I was late for a job I'd been assigned. I was super perfectly productive after but I feel no satisfaction at all. Meeting up with a friend for dinner and feeling kind of ugh about not being in the right frame of mind, hopefully it gets better after! ... though I haven't heard from her all day despite sending a message to check in, ~~if she's forgotten about it or had to cancel less than an hour ahead of time I'll just be all justifiably sad and angry in my cave lol.~~ okay never mind she replied. Me and my oversensitive nervous system today

I need my breakfast. Where is chef

We went to the local waterfall today. It was loud and beautiful. 😊

I have pork on the stove slow cooking to make pulled pork tacos for dinner.

Afternoon activities will be putting together my new compost bin, then a bit more sorting. I need to at least sort out some of the stuff in the garage so I can get my car out to go to work tomorrow morning. At the moment it has a bunch of cardboard boxes stored on top of it as well as boxes pushed right up against it to give me space to put shelves together.

it's late here,

Good night, sweet dreams everyone 😘

"Looks lifelike"?! I hope these people never have care of an actual meat cat.

Slow roasted a chunk of deboned lamb shoulder for dins. Marinated in lemon & garlic and a bit of star anise (not much but it made a tasty difference from the usual). Even though I made a total pig of myself there are plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. I feel a real shepherd's pie coming on.

I have been buying some touristy New Zealand things from museum shops and op shops. This is my favourite so far.

I'm not sure how old this is, it has a 1950-60s look.

Following on from Low's discussion about barriers to good habits

Recently I have changed two want tos to musts. Get my driver's licence and set up my watch. And these two musts are part of bigger goals.

Removing bad habits is more difficult. I think I will keep chrome a little longer as it's stopping me from playing bubbletown, which I have already played two times right through, it's just a huge time waster and mind number.
