I’m going to the snow at the end of the month and have been messaging a friend I let borrow my ski clothes and equipment two years ago. They just never gave me back my stuff and I forgot about it to now. I’m a bit annoyed they just kept my things, and now my goggles are missing and I don’t remember if I let them borrow. It shouldn’t be up to me to remember and ask for my stuff back, you should give it back once you are done with it without prompt.
Interesting. The local library was my safe haven as a kid. Or any book really. I predate xbox and electronic games so there wasn't a huge lot of choice. Nowadays my local library makes a big deal about being 'fun' and 'lively' and 'inclusive' - which to kid me sounds like hell on earth. So it wouldn't be available as a safe haven now. I suspect we all need a safe haven in our lives - and find it in a variety of places. Another very unfashionable opinion of mine is that quite a lot of illegal drug use gets its root cause in the search for a mental safe haven in a hostile universe, albeit a temporary one with a huge downside.
I am having such a shitty fucking day. I've honestly never felt this bad so fast before. Just massively angry, wanting to lash out over everything.
Everything is getting worse and none of us are stopping it(I'm certainly not). My attempts to maybe improve things for myself just add more stress and inevitably fail. I feel like I'm trying to climb a styrofoam wall. I can grab at chunks to try and pull myself up, but all I'm doing is fucking up an already shitty wall.
Hugs. If you can roll yourself up somewhere in the sun I recommend it. You aren't alone in your feelings.
I read On The Beach a few years ago after the 2020 bushfires and at the start of COVID when I was feeling particularly hopeless. Basically its a classic about an impending nuclear winter - what happens when everyone find out they have six months to live. One of the side characters just carried on tending their little garden, planting out things that they would never harvest and in all probability would never grow. But it was her job - to tend her garden and she figured no-one knew any would be next so she might as well do this thing. She was totally at peace. I think about her a lot when I am in this headspace.
There are green places to be in the sun nearish me, but too far to walk, and I don't want to be around other people much so a tram would be a bad idea I reckon.
I had read some of it a while ago, but lost my place and never bothered to refind it. Might have to give it another look some time, because it's a great book. I wish I had the certainty of a set date, honestly. Six months is easier to handle than "it's a mystery"
Several of my friends have the same problem as me, much easier to help others clean and tidy than do your own space. I put it down to reduced negative emotional weight (to objects, to the activity, guilt of not doing it in a timely manner, repetitiveness etc) and greater positive emotion (helping others, building social capital, satisfaction from completing tasks, maybe a sense of superiority because others needed your help) when cleaning others' spaces rather than ones own. I just roll with it now and accept that it's a thing

I've discovered Mickey likes to eat spinach. So he got a little pile of it last night and he fully ate it all. May have to occasionally give him a treat of it, he always wants what we eat and it isn't harmful 🤷♀️

I half expected ANZ, I had trouble with them pushing everything through their app messaging. I have no idea if there app was any good though, I couldn't use the app because I didn't have a customer reference number, and all paths to get a customer reference number kept either referring you to the app, or going through phone menu systems that required you to enter your customer reference number. I ended up spending ages trying various combinations in the phone menu to find one that got through to a real person that could transfer me to the right place.
In regards to the fees, most banks have fee-free accounts these days. I like to spread around a few different banks these days so I have something in place if there are any issues with one bank. They make it fairly easy to sign up and to change these days so I've tried out quite a few. I think Commonwealth is the only major bank I haven't had an account with.
Got a friend to help me go between Richmond and the CBD looking for work shirts (one heavy duty one and a couple normal ones) to be embroidered for work. Had lunch, plenty of walking in the sun, even some genmaicha ice cream and generally a productive day... Even treated myself to a pair of lovely olive green wide pants and fluffy slippers, both at half price at muji.
The work shirts and slippers I've been procrastinating on to the last possible minute. I got it done with the moral support of my friend who knows the fastest way to get around Emporium and helped me look for a lunch place and parking spaces earlier.
I don't feel nearly as exhausted as yesterday even though I was out for as long and had to do more active stuff, actually even feel a little recharged? It's a nice feeling.
:::
Can I just ask why the hell women's collared shirts are so oversized now though? Seems like the only style is to wear them as overshirts, not straight up shirts. Uniqlo and Muji both i needed an XS, even the Bisley work shirt I had to get a size 8, which is unprecedented (normally 10-12). This is on top of a thermal layer...
Sure I've lost weight from muscle atrophy being sedentary, but my ribcage and shoulders have not changed size over the last 5 years - I hate this new style! I don't have the body shape for it...
I'm pretty annoyed at how it seems like clothing sizes are going all bonkers, I don't care that I now fit a size lower by design because that means wasting more time trying to find something that fits.
Yes, wasting time and money and getting stressed out about it.
I’m just looking for basic everyday wear that fits comfortably and is machine washable. Why is that so hard?
Seasonal clothing also gets worse. I do not like the options for Summer.
I’m not tall or large enough to wear men’s clothes (maybe a jacket in s/xs will fit loosely if I can find it) and kids clothes are now covered with obnoxious designs that make the age bracket clear.

Made it to the end of Presumed Innocent, the TV adaptation. What a inconsistent show with stupid legal loopholes and soapy writing. It is incredibly unbelievable that the main character could've been a successful prosecutor. Also I hate basically every character in this but not even in a love-to-hate way like Succession. I think I cared more about the cat.
Even Jake Gyllenhaal's perfect butt wasn't enough to save this mediocrity, but somehow it's been renewed for a second season...

Movie Review. The Old Oak. Ken Loach. Syrian refugees come to live in a dying North England mining town, locals react, some with kindness and charity, others with misplaced anger.
It's a Ken Loach fillum innit.
It's not entertaining. It's art. It's about present day issues and challenges facing everyday Britons and New Britons/war refugees . It's respectful and understanding of working class people. Never talks down.
It's not a fun or happy or exciting experience to watch a Ken Loach movie but I find myself thinking about the scenes and people in his movies, sometimes even years later.
Watching his movies enriches my life and understanding of people .
Don't beat yourself up! It's a very, very common thing to overwater indoor plants, especially over winter. I've done it myself because some plants really need a lot less than others.
Many people see them drooping and think they need more water but drooping can also be a sign of overwatering. If your plants haven't started growing brown and mushy, there's hope! Just leave them alone for a solid week or two to dry out and they might come back yet.
It's a good thing that you care for living things and want to keep them alive rather than neglect them, that's what makes a good plant parent :) and now you're learning!
Yeah.. you haven't lived until you accidentally killed a plant or two with over watering. If you have access to (dry) soil you can try pulling out the plant, chopping off any mushy bits and repotting.

Had lunch, plenty of walking in the sun, even some genmaicha ice cream and generally a productive day... Even treated myself to a pair of lovely olive green wide pants and fluffy slippers, both at half price at muji.

Made it to the end of Presumed Innocent, the TV adaptation. What a inconsistent show with stupid legal loopholes and soapy writing. It is incredibly unbelievable that the main character could've been a successful prosecutor. Also I hate basically every character in this but not even in a love-to-hate way like Succession. I think I cared more about the cat.
Even Jake Gyllenhaal's perfect butt wasn't enough to save this mediocrity, but somehow it's been renewed for a second season...

I hated the series. It was boring, seemed to be written by a committee ticking off trope boxes.
Just watch the awesome movie with Harrison Ford.

Any peeps of a fishy persuasion? Looking for a three way valve for 4mm tubing, but water, not air. Anyone attest to water carriage of air direction valves?

Movie Review. The Old Oak. Ken Loach. Syrian refugees come to live in a dying North England mining town, locals react, some with kindness and charity, others with misplaced anger.
It's a Ken Loach fillum innit.
It's not entertaining. It's art. It's about present day issues and challenges facing everyday Britons and New Britons/war refugees . It's respectful and understanding of working class people. Never talks down.
It's not a fun or happy or exciting experience to watch a Ken Loach movie but I find myself thinking about the scenes and people in his movies, sometimes even years later.
Watching his movies enriches my life and understanding of people .

Don't beat yourself up! It's a very, very common thing to overwater indoor plants, especially over winter. I've done it myself because some plants really need a lot less than others.
Many people see them drooping and think they need more water but drooping can also be a sign of overwatering. If your plants haven't started growing brown and mushy, there's hope! Just leave them alone for a solid week or two to dry out and they might come back yet.
It's a good thing that you care for living things and want to keep them alive rather than neglect them, that's what makes a good plant parent :) and now you're learning!

Yeah.. you haven't lived until you accidentally killed a plant or two with over watering. If you have access to (dry) soil you can try pulling out the plant, chopping off any mushy bits and repotting.
