Gogogo mifo bridge! What wanker car shall you drown today?

Monty bridge’s little cousin in perfect position….

Ted Cat is sad. I'm not sure why but I think Bill beat him up when I went out yesterday, now Ted doesn't want to go up the stairs anymore and he lost his happy chirp. 😿

Crikey. That thunder was so loud it shook my bed. What an awful day :/

I used my 'focus time' this morning to catch up on a little more sleep and it was an excellent decision. I was NOT cooked yet when my normal alarm went off and I almost thought I'd have to take the day off with how rough I felt.

Meanwhile, my first wax melt order arrived yesterday and the nose flavour is divine. They're Sandalwood Vanilla ones from a Sydney company I've actually bought from before called Sherwood Garden, but I bought through Amazon this time as I'm a Prime member and Prime shipping is rad. Can recommend.

Time to make today's coffee.. I'm making an iced coffee today!

Edit: also, my phone is being slammed with fake calls from various places around the country today. If you don't say anything for 3 seconds after answering the auto-caller thing just hangs up. Making me want to buy a Pixel because I think they have software to block these.

Anyone ever watched their 10 year old have a frenectomy (tongue tie op)?...blood, a lot of blood.

It appears I slept through this mornings wild weather, I was rather looking forward to a bit of a storm! Although to be fair my suburb never gets so much as a trickle, stupid meteorological blackhole.

Oof I don't feel so good. Bit of a runny nose and occasionally feel like I might throw up. I'm about 70% sure I won't throw up but that's not 100%.

So sorry, somehow Mlem just deleted my message regarding what you would buy if you had $50 to get as much as you could food-wise (thought of it because I just spent $50 at Woolies shopping).

Assume you have a fridge, place to cook etc. Also, you can go to any supermarket etc. or multiple.

Edit: So… I hadn’t really planned for a longer period, but $50 got me:

Light burger buns, 4 burger patties, small tinned beetroot and pineapple. 2 small different types of mustards, another garlic sauce thingy, 2 mangoes, small handful of spinach, breakfast cereal, a small punnet of sliced mushrooms, 2 bottles of tonic (Fever Tree), a small bunch of broccolini and asparagus. (I think that was it?)

Aus Post carded me yesterday even though I gave permission to leave parcel at door via their online service and told the delivery driver via my doorbell camera to leave the parcel. What the hell? Mad I have to spend my lunch break going to the post office.

ooooh is wet

$290 for lease transfer???? go fuck yourself <-Real estate agent->

Damn.. if I bought a Pixel 8 Pro before midnight last night from JB HiFi they would've given me a $350 voucher. The only deal I can see now is from Google themselves who would give me a $400 of Google Store credit if I buy one before midnight tonight, but that's only valid for 1 year and obviously you have to buy Google Store stuff and.. eh. Cool if I wanted to buy a Pixel Watch 2 but I don't really wanna.

The other issue is that my current phone (OnePlus 8 Pro) is too well-specced to really justify upgrading. The hardware is still incredible. It's only running 1 version behind of Android OS (13) and I really have no complaints with it. The specs besides the aging Bluetooth version actually hold up compared to these new flagship phones and it's 3 years old. The issue is that in 6 months or so it'll stop getting security updates, which isn't the end of the world.

Maybe I'll fight my impulse purchasing nature and just keep using this thing. I'm also starting to think about whether I want to buy a PS5 when all I really want to play is Spider-Man 2 when it comes out. I don't think there are any other games I want for it that I can't play on my PS4 Pro or PC. Maybe I should just build a new PC and wait for Spider-Man 2 to come out for that. Life is difficult.
