It worked in a way. It'll take another week or 2 to break out of the habit of waking up, but I fell immediately back to sleep when I did wake up.

Success.

13 months. Unreal.

Today has been awful. Which is pretty rare for me to say honestly.

I want to go back to bed and not wake up until tomorrow.

It would be Ted, he's always on the look out for a better family.

Could you be coming down with a plain old fashioned cold? That can really stuff up all the other things, particularly if you haven't had one for a while.

Ooh glassy!

If you wanted to be cruel turn that into a jigsaw puzzle and give it to someone you don't like.

I am the (Lobster) Queen of the North Tower. I thought I was relatively sunsmart yesterday but evidently not...

Have been watching some military ships come into Cairns, one from NZ and one from the US.

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago

one from NZ

It was only a matter of time before they had a go at us.

I've made some progress on sorting my sewing room. Unfortunately the shelves I was hoping to use inside the cupboard won't work - the shelves are the right size, but once assembled I won't have room to manoeuvre them in. I have a couple more shelves to assemble and can then start putting more things away.

I'm behind where I would like to be, but I think I can get all the boxes cleared from the lounge room and tidy up the worst of the empty box collection before the rental inspection tomorrow. It is nice having the lounge room more clear and open again, but I need to move all the furniture now that I'm not having to accomodate a wall of boxes.

Happy Gilmore 2. It was not good but I did enjoy it.

Want to get away with the wife for a few days, not that familiar with the outskirts of Melbourne. Anyone know any good spots where mushrooms might still be in season? Is mount Dandenong any good for that?

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 9 points 1 week ago

I hear a random Asian grocer in mountglenwaverley has some delicious wild mushrooms!

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's a little place called Woolworths. Heaps to choose from. Prices are variable.

[โ€“] bacon@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Rumour said Glen Waverley has the best

๐Ÿคซ That's racist

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago

Look up Trentham and Mount Macedon. It's a bit late in the season for those kind of mushrooms, but you might get lucky. Nice bushwalking though.

Aldi's $4 bottle of plonk. Pretty good. 5/5 drunken rants. ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Aldi plonk is great for the price, currently drinking a "the standing people" pinot noir from there, not bad

Got in a little parma vs. parmi match w/ the butcher yesterday.

It was a stalemate. I shoulda won that.

Losing my touch.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You've let the whole of Melbourne down ๐Ÿ˜”

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There were only 2 parmas left.. I didn't yield, but I had to agree to disagree.

I'm sorry Melbourne :(

We will forgive you because we love you โค๏ธ

Fuck me carpet glue is nasty stuff. They should not be allowed to use it in a building while it is open.

Why does sitting on a bus for an hour make me so exhausted? Is it the air? Or would I have been exhausted anyway?

Well that backfired.

I reduced my anti dep dose and did in fact get somewhat better sleep. Except today I feel like utter shit.

Will try this again on the weekend and see what happens.

Im close to a food coma at the moment, have to go back to work tomorrow though.

I tried to put on my boots and it wasnโ€™t easy and Im not even sure I could walk with them on with my toe still swollen and very uncomfortable.

The other day I went through bags of baby clothes. They were in vac sealed bags and out of the way but thought it was time to get rid of them. I kept a couple of things and some crochet blankets my sister made.

Now I find out how many bags I can fit in my car and how many attempts to reverse my car out of the yard without hitting the gate.

I have somehow managed to lose a sewing machine. I know it is here somewhere, but I'm a bit perplexed about where given I brought it up seperately and put it in the sewing room myself.

My neighbour's dog is howling its little brains out and I can't understand why they're letting this noise continue. I've never heard it do this before. Either way, it's bloody annoying when I'm trying to work. Headphones on!

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Did something happen to the neighbour? Or are they just out?

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 points 1 week ago

Sewing machine has been located. Exactly where I thought it should be, in a place I had looked multiple times. It was in a bag and I thought it was something else but didn't open to check.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 1 week ago
