My partner is experiencing having mental clarity for the first time she can remember after starting a trial of meds based on a recent ADHD diagnosis. This is a good thing and I'm very happy for her.
Going to bed now even though I know I probably won't fall asleep until like 11. Bed too comfy looking I been fantasising all day about climbing back in. Will put a solid dent into my current audiobook: 11.22.63, which has been excellent so far
Depending on the nature of the worksite, that's a pretty risky move by the intruder! My workplace is mostly occupied by menopausal women with sharp objects.
They should have taken you with them into lockdown, at least that's the procedure for me normally at work.
In my opinion you shouldn't have been left behind alone with that person and exposed to potential danger but I'm not sure if their protocols includes taking in patients into lockdown.
Literally just for excitement reasons, they need audio for the wide shots and stretches where the crowd is a bit thinner. It does make sense -- nothing wrong with sweetening the broadcast a bit -- but they could use a longer loop!
To be honest I don’t know what was worse. A bad looping audio crowd with someone shouting something obnoxious that got replayed repeatedly or an empty soulless stadium.
Melbcat didn’t eat her meal and spat out her syringed meds this morning - right down the inside of my sleeve! Thankfully she’s finished her antibiotics but she still needs her pain meds.
And I don't envy you, especially if you had to feed her the tablets.
One of ours went to the vet recently and was given antibiotics.
Within a day or so, she figured out the signs and began hiding in a cupboard as soon as either of us opened the drawer where they were kept. Or she heard the pill bottle open.
It then took bogh my partner and I to hold her down while feeding her the tablet.
Welcome to the Daily Chair. All the tacks are out now, all approx 200. I've tidied the work area and am ready to attach the linings, the springs then the padding and covers. Yay.
I have also been buying some tapestry fabrics to make some scatter cushions, 2 big cushions for the big chairs, and two smaller ones for the dining captain chairs.
here are some of the components . I have to staple and sew it all into something resembling a functional supporting seat. There's the wood frame, the webbing, springs, lining fabric and the cover . That grey stuff is the original kapok chair stuffing
I was told that the two armchair dining chairs in a set of dining chairs were called the carver as it was the meat carvers chair. So maybe the main dining chair?
might be a strange question, but any time I figure out something about myself mental health wise its almost always a "Oh shit. Its THAT easy?" kind of thing. It always seems SO obvious in retrospect! Curious to see if anyone else has the same thing happen to them.
For example: if you're always telling mates to take a deep breath have a sit and let things come to them, then you go and actually do it yourself and you're like "fuck, that was the key all along?!"
@TinyBreak@Seagoon_ This probably isn't quite what you're looking for, but it does involve a phobia.
I'm a little scared of heights, and a lot scared of falling off ladders.
The last place I lived was an old cream-brick 1960s-ish flat. It had really high ceilings, with that "popcorn" (possibly asbestos?) texture.
I was living there by myself.
One day, the light bulb in the living room blew.
This ceiling was high — I could just barely reach it from the second- or third-top rung (and I wasn't game to go any higher).
The light had one of those glass covers that had a screw in the middle, and then a couple of hooks on either side. After about 50-odd years, it was well and truly rusted and didn't want to budge.
Well.
After two goes, taking around half an hour each time, I finally managed to get the bloody cover off.
Then another 30 minutes to get the old bulb out.
Then another 30 minutes to get the new globe in.
After spending around two hours — basically the best part of a Saturday afternoon — trying to change one light globe, I was done. The cover can wait for another day.
Unfortunately, a few weeks later, I got a notice that the real estate agents wanted to do an inspection. The joys of renting!
That weekend, I asked wifey to come over (we hadn't moved in together yet) and help put the cover on.
Ladder out. Clip. Clip. Clip. Screw.
She had the cover back on in, like, two minutes, tops.
I think I might have actually said something along the lines of: "Shit — it's that easy?"
The moral of the story?
Find a handywoman, move in with her, and get wifey to do it 😁
The whole diet and exercise thing for me, as in healthy body-healthy mind. Having to exercise in order to get energy sounds like a ridiculous contradiction until you do it and feel it.
Exercising to increase energy levels is all that for me. I'm feeling sluggish and tired lately because I haven't been exercising. To get more energy I'm going to have to expend some. Sounds wacky.
Found this Maggie in our front yard just now, and I’m not sure if there’s something wrong with it or not. It’s not at all scared of us, and I got quite close (<1m) with no reaction. It’s eaten a few salada crumbs and had a drink, but does look a bit bunched, and is just staying in the yard. Is it worth calling wildlife rescue? OH thinks we should leave it and see how it goes.
Leave and see how it goes. If it's still there tomorrow, then maybe call rescue. This is early pairing up season for maggies, so it might just have been tossed out of the parental nest/territory.
Turns out it’s missing its tail. I did end up calling and they suggested catching it and taking it to the vet, but it wasn’t having any of that and is now on the neighbour’s roof. I’ll keep an eye on it and leave food & water out. Hope it’s ok, poor thing.
Far out this post viral fatigue is fucked. Third day in a row I feel like my brain has been cotton wool all day long. The coffees barely touch me. I really didn't feel too comfortable driving, I felt like I was zoning out way too often. Didn't even help that I got extra sleep because I didn't connect my phone charger properly overnight so it went flat and I slept right past my time to leave.
I really need to (a) fall asleep early and (b) stay asleep tonight... I'm already in bed, fed and showered, I think tonight shall involve podcasts.
E: I've got the warmest possible clothes on and the heater on while under the covers in bed and its still too cold to fall asleep ❄
I did one last week before going to the drs and it came back negative for covid and flu a+b. No idea what it was. But fatigue can result from all kinds of viral infections. Dengue was the worst.
The weather is definitely not helping with recovery. I do think i need some physical activity to get my blood flowing and improve my sleep, but not so much that I'm knackered beyond any use. Wanted to try walking to work tomorrow but 2C and foggy in the morning, I don't think so...
Wow, that video. When I was a student in the 80s/90s we rented places like that in Brunswick and Carlton for $75 a week. Some places had floor collapsing or a roof with a hole in it but we didn't care because between 4 or 5 of us the rent was so fucking cheap. Now to ask $500+ per week for a place that requires the use of a "shit stick" is fucking disgraceful. And the sheer gall of the landlord to turn up in a flash car like that smdh.. in my day the landlord was an old Italian or Greek bloke who turned up in a Sigma or Datsun lol.
I don't know why the power elite chose for Australia to be poor with bad legal protections . They could have so easily chosen to be like Norway and they themselves would have been much richer too, not just the whole country.
So it's not money.
I think they like other people to suffer and to have no power.
I hate to say it, but I think you are right in this. After all, how do you know you've made it unless there are other people standing around suffering, and watching you with what you hope is envy. It isn't envy, but something much worse.
Australia has had strict gun laws since the start. The Brits learnt from America.
So the cunts know they are being cunts, I remember the first thing Kennett did when he got in power, like in the first week, was install bullet proof glass into all the main gov buildings.
I managed to get a trip to Kmart after the doctor today but really didn’t like any of their trackie daks. They all had the wide rigid elastic waistband high and tight on your stomach and I can’t stand even the suggestion of being squeezed. Or it digging in if you bend. Also the rest of the stuff was ugly.
I thought it was just a trendy cut for women’s daks… maybe they’re making them all over tight and rigid *to compensate for eventual stretching of the elastic but it’s still a shit move. The elastic is never going to stretch out if I can’t stand to wear the damn things and the purpose was comfort.
Woke up at bumfuck o'clock and couldn't get back to sleep, but it meant I could get my big daily walk in before work and thus I blew past 10,000 steps before 11am.
Been an exhausting day today and didn't get much of a lunch break but now I get to look after the reception desk and hopefully it won't be too busy for a bit then I get to go home!
PSA - Hot Chocolate Festival starts tomorrow at the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Great Ocean Road Chocolateries! Usually some pretty fun and zany flavours.
Also shit sleep. Garbage trucks doing the rounds woke me up early, then more street noise compared to usual ensured I could not fall back to sleep. About to go for coffee 2 for the day.
Figure out how to pull apart the group head to give it a good clean (at least removing the shower screen).
All machines need that occasionally, work machines get absolutely rank.

Yeah, they're good at figuring out the hooman's schemes.
With Miss Mimi, we couldn't crush up her tablets and hide them in her food because one of our other babies likes indulging in other people's meals.
We tried these meat-flavoured pill pockets. She got wise to them within a day. She got good at eating the pockets and spitting out the tablet.
We tried this contraption that flings the tablet down her throat. She got wise to that.
We tried crushing the tablet, mixing it with water, and syringing it. She got wise to that.
We tried hiding the medicines in different places. She came to recognise the sound of the bottle opening.
We tried giving the tablets in different places.
We tried all the things. At best, they worked for a day.
At worst, she bit wifey's finger accidentally.
Most of the time, we thought she took the tablet, only for her to spit it out later.
The joys of having a sick cat...

Also shit sleep. Garbage trucks doing the rounds woke me up early, then more street noise compared to usual ensured I could not fall back to sleep. About to go for coffee 2 for the day.

tombruzzo@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 2y
This is great. It feels like a new take on the original animated series and has all the right people working on it
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 2y
Looks so good. Hope the show has that tone/style.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 2y
Brubaker will add some modern grit that wasn't in the original. I love the old show but I'd like this to be it's own thing

What were you thinking with that username?
Peddlephile@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y
It was meant to be pedalphile, as in bicycle pedals, but I obviously mispelled it and I've chosen to stick with the name to constantly shame myself.
It was either that or spokesperson and I didn't think that was clever enough. Ironically, I've ended up looking very stupid and I'm fine with that.

Renewing my license seems like it may not be as difficult as I'd worried. Will find out tomorrow morning!

That pleading look my little dog gives me when he sees me eating twiggy stix. Can't give him any cos they the "spicy" ones.

@CEOofmyhouse56 @Seagoon_ You just reminded me of something thst happened a couple of weeks ago.
When we first adopted our babies, wifey used to often give in and give them scraps from what she's eating. I never did.
Fast forward a couple of years.
I'm eating dinner in the living room, wifey's having dinner in bed.
She was joined by all three cats.
Mewing incessantly.
"Why do they always leave you alone at dinner time, yet always pester me for food?" shd asks.
I reply: "Because you trained them to!"
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 2y
I say to him "I don't hover around when you're eating".

Well one pair of missing trackies has been found in a bag from a previous hospital trip.
The other pair are completely gone. They either have to have been in the clothes that got ruined and thrown out - otherwise those were some moths.

@Duenan @wscholermann When you're still wide awake at 2am, you'll think to yourself: "Y'know, that was a damn good coffee" 😹
Duenan@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 2y
I’m already thinking it.
I don’t know how to describe it but it’s a fruity taste explosion and it’s vibrant.
ajsadauskas@aus.social · 3 pts · 2y
@Duenan Out of curiosity, what blend?
(We've got an old coffee machine that work was getting rid of, but I'm yet to pick up coffee beans for it. I'm open to recommendations! ☺️)
Duenan@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 2y
Guava, apricot, pineapple and mango

Figure out how to pull apart the group head to give it a good clean (at least removing the shower screen). All machines need that occasionally, work machines get absolutely rank.
