Melbourne

Applied for a bunch of contact centre work. I feel like I'm going backwards, but trying to remind myself that it's just so I can afford a bunch of driving lessons and then I can apply for more animal industry roles.

I'm gonna fucking cry.

Audition is on for tomorrow which is awesome! Playing 2nd guitar which is usually pretty fun.

Normally they have a bunch of songs already written and then you get the freedom to add your parts.

Excited!

Ol' girls new dietitian approved of the shit I've been doing food-wise so that's a relief. Didn't add anything really so that keeps things easy.

Wrote out a thing for ol' boy as he goes with her to these things, basically weight / diet etc. over time pre / post op. Didn't realise he was just going to print it out and give it to the dietitian. There was a lot of swearng lol.

That was a fun week

I fell off the bike two weeks ago and I think my knee is up to riding again.

It's super annoying because I was on damp wooden boards, knew they'd be slippery so I went slower, and fell anyway. The view was nice next to the lake-thing near home but next time it has rained I'll stick to the road.

After three months of procrastination I finally got around to writing an email requesting permission to put in my vegie garden. They are not allowed to say no without good reason, but I also requested permission to put in some permanent plants that they could. Fingers crossed - I believe it would add value to the property and they should say yes, but it's also possible the landlords are vegetation hating idiots, so I just have to wait and see.

Spring will be here soon so it's a good time to get garden beds established - I have lots of cardboard from moving set aside to go down as weed barrier, and will need to get lots of compost & mulch on top. I'm looking forward to having enough space to do large plants like pumpkins without having to train them up a support, and also looking forward to not having everything eaten by possums.

Was up early and had a coffee and muffin from a cafe this morning. Muffin was still warm from being fresh out of the oven. Wining the day already.

Work has provided soup today for us.

It was nice!

Toe still uncomfortable and a bit sore

Guess I'm resting up all weekend.

Goodnight all ❤️

I’ve had this phone for 5 years and the battery is starting to die faster… also voice control is randomly activating.

I don’t think I can afford another myself so when this finally becomes unreliable the next one will probably be a basic android from (as the previous one was). And I’ll keep this plugged in purely as a tiny drawing tablet until it dies. Hate planned obsolescence

DT wisdom question: Glasses wearers, how do you clean your glasses? I’m relatively new to glasses, just use them for reading. Somehow I always manage to put smudges on them, even if I’m trying to be careful. I’ve used the little cloth they came with, and also lens spray plus cloth. It works kinda ok, but neither is great. I find the cloth annoyingly small, sometimes get my fingers on the lens when I’m trying to clean them. Can I just use a regular larger microfibre?

Edit: Thankyou, so many good options! Will try them all out.

Blood taken, now I can finally eat. I ate like it was my last meal before the fasting started last night.

Great, just found out my internet has single stream issues and I’m potentially going to need to stay home on Monday for an NBN tech.

No wonder I’ve been dropping during online games.

I have come to the realisation that bread and pastry ain't my friends and limiting them really does benefit me.

I had incredible back pain earlier this week and not feeling sluggish because of bread made recovery a lot quicker.

I'll still dabble occasionally but yeah I've had enough of feeling shit.

Thanks and hugs Melbacat for the recommendation, I just ordered some vegan meal shakes

this looks like it will be good, I can do this 😸

still resting my back, it's 90% better, upper back 100% better, just doing slow gentle house work today and a little gentle garden tidying

then tomorrow it's more errands down the street

I put a big box on it's side in the hallway and the cats are happy playing today 😸it's Ted's secret lair and heaven help anyone who tries to walk past 😼😹

It’s so funny. Melbcat gives tail hugs to people but also uses her tail to casually hold onto objects. We call it her monkey tail

So I took the first dose of ritalin half an hour ago, and my resting HR has been between 85-90. It feels like my heart is beating out of my chest and that was only with half a tablet. I'll see how I go for the rest of the day.
