Sweet F, hot potato….
Don’t think I’ll be heading back outdoors again unless it’s by car…

Oh hey, yeah that makes complete sense re: rent cost. (Sounds very nice for a share house!)
Oh, no worries at all. I totally get it. (It’s so easy sometimes to think DDT is in its own bubble, but that’s unfortunately not the case.)
I’m super sorry to hear that (as you seemed to really enjoy it).
I hope you’re feeling better.
Oh, haha, I see. (I meant higher socio-ec, but it has definitely gotten expensive.)
Were they big sharehouses? I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than $1500 give/take utilities?
Oh, reminds me of my old place! Had a very similar set up. Downsizing is super tough.
Without revealing too much, are you in a higher SE area? It still sounds like a lot?
What are you renting? (If you don’t mind me askin?)
I mean I don’t have a family to support so I don’t need anything big (but my toys/hobbies would beg to differ).
So… it’s only been recently (within the last 1-2 years) that I’ve really started shredding aeons old paperwork from primary school reports to medical files. I’ve been lugging around this expanda file that I don’t really use any more and finally pulled out all the paperwork today.
It’s not a huge pile by any means, but wow, you really can tell the story of someone’s life with this information. It’s kind of simultaneously cool/creepy. It’s also wild how people’s identities can be stolen with less.
The shredder is going to get a workout.
On a funny side note, finally got around to start wiping my old computer. For something that was running WIN7 with 3 drives (don’t ask me), it was surprisingly quick.
Like better than the majority the PCs I work with. It made me wonder why I stopped using it… Likely portability/outdated hardware.
Waiting it for it to finish ShredOS so I can take it to recycling… Honestly, attempting to do all the right recycling things has made realise how time consuming it is. Nothing is simple!
Maybe just a random train ride would be nice?
Remind me? Was it you that was moving back closer to the city? (Eek, yeah it’s wild paying mortgage prices for rent.)
So, I don’t want to sound harsh, but you need to not minimise your feelings. Your home/space should be your sanctuary so you can have whatever rules/boundaries you want. Forcing yourself to accommodate people that you don’t really want to is stressful and doesn’t turn out well in the end. Trust me. Been there, done that plenty of times until I learned my lesson.
Back yourself! It’s a new year!
Ooo where did you walk today?
For some reason my wipes have failed… twice. 100% bytes erased, but blanking failed. Some of the errors suggest the disks are on their way out. NBD since they’re going to trash. Yet, while I have a million and one other things to do, I haven’t looked at a Linux distro for aeons… So, of course I’m going to look at Endeavour. This is a rabbit hole I need not be heading down today. LOL.
Damnit, I knew I should have grabbed that pack of Zoopers the other day…
