Melbourne

I had to make a LinkedIn. I just scrolled my feed for about 30 seconds. These people are fucked up lol

A shrine to the cult of the corporation.

Ugh, I've been in a real slump because I can't get myself going with uni and it's putting me into an avoidable emotional spiral. Was supposed to meet a relative but they changed plans last minute, thankfully a friend happened to be coming this way and called to see if I wanted to hang out impromptu. Maybe drop by my place. Yay! Now I have some motivation to clean up and organise myself.

I love the way Gibson looks at me when I'm leaving to go somewhere at night on the weekend.

"Since when do you have a life buddy?"

Om nom lunch,

and also back in bed…

Just found out the birthday picnic I was going to today got cancelled due to the weather. And I baked muffins and a blondie slice yesterday to bring to said picnic. I now have to eat all of these delicious baked goods myself.

Yep, Crap Sleep Gamg Rep…

👊🏻

Thursday night: short PJs, just a sheet

Friday night: longer PJs, doona

Ok haircut was worth it. Now, decaf, breakfast and back to bed. I left gibson sleeping under the doona.

Smart cat.

When I getting home last night, the neighbours dog was locked out the front of their place and trying to get in and pretty frantic. Good doggo for not running away.

But they have this nuts security on their front gate. So I pressed the intercom thing.. neighbour pressed a button in their house, then all of a sudden a loud alarm went off and 2 massive red lights started flashing for about 10 seconds. Felt dystopian af and scared the shit outta me for few seconds there. She's a lovely neighbour and was very appreciative, but man, that gate is nightmare fuel.

We did it!

Now it's gotta sit there until 8:40pm then go in the fridge for 8 hours. Somehow.. the other 3 members of this household are going nuts about it lol.

It went ok with the guests today, she actually seems like a nice lady, very unpretentious. She has more than a few kids and they're lovely too, I mostly sat and chatted to them about stuff. The Minipeelers ended up liking them too. I'm often too embarrassed and ashamed to have people round to my flat because it's tbh a tiny shithole, with piles of stuff everywhere and not enough places to sit lol. We haven't got room for all the Lego, art stuff and general kids things. She gets it though, and I felt at ease with her. Then after they left I grabbed Miniest and she wanted to get a present for her bros birthday, so we went and did that.

Using the dryer for the first time in months.

Someone poke me to get up and do one (1) laundry

On my way to get supplies for tomorrow night. Elder has chosen his birthday dinner meal, and it is my sweet plum and ginger chicken with jasmine rice. Then somehow I've got to take Miniest shopping for her present to her brother, bake the San Sebastian cheesecake and be there to help entertain guests. Yes, Mr P is having a mate call in with a lady he is seeing and her children 😳🤯 Any other Saturday would've been fine but now it's something I've got to fit in. No biggie, they won't be here very long. My living room looks like a hoarders paradise but I won't get/make time to get it tidy so stiff cheddar.

Hoodie and track pants have been deployed. Have realised most of mine are getting thin and lacking in interior fluff. Think I’ll be hitting the shops for a ‘house clothes’ refresh when the winter stuff comes into the stores.

Old baby is cuddling.

It feels like there should be footy on tonight.

Tinyest can now say “careful” after you say it. Unfortunately he continues to do whatever dangerous thing he was doing when you told him to be careful but he at least says “carful” whilst doing it.

The 3rd place (the role i wanted the most) are still interviewing candidates next week.

I've been transparent regarding other offers, so we'll see what happens.

Nap time!

I have marketed to my full satisfaction. Stocked for the week, well fed and content.

I will now chill at home listening to the rain

Can't sleep. Many sirens. Wrong sort of exciting.

Gotta get motivated, but it's so nice just laying here. Had to get up around 3am to put an extra doona on the bed and now it's so cosy

I’m chipping away at Mt Washmore and did two loads to mostly clear Mt Dishmore. Also gave Melbcat’s fur a wipe down with a facewasher where she’d spat medicine on herself. I need to remember to use the bib.

Craving chocolate but the one I like now seems to have milk in it… Guess it’s cocoa weather anyway

Now, do I put the heater on or the oodie on? Conundrum for our times. And two days ago I was sweating while sitting still.

I had a great day. Lil sleep in, wimdy walk and bird noticing. Saw a bunch of ducks and a heron and an egret and a few crested grebes ♥️ shopping done, sheets washed, nap napped. Haven't cleaned the flat yet but should have time tomorrow. Got sausages cooking and about to flop.

Somedays are just good days, ya know. Not all that often, but it's nice when it happens.

Got my gym done nice and early, so I’m off to the market to hunt down a wild breakfast

spent the past few months collecting vintage knits, summer and winter. Mostly 70s and 80s. Really hard to find good ones. Took out so many shoulder pads...lol

Good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘

This coolth is wonderful! Got so much planned to do this weekend that I've been putting off cos hot weather. Have at it!

Urghhhhh i want to stay in bed but i have to get up and get a haircut :(

I made it but when i get home I'm going back to bed :((((

Ugh… I think I planted everything way too late. I’ve just planted the pumpkins out and already the leaves are starting to fall.

I’m wondering if I should make that compost bin to dispose of the leaves but it requires buying a drill (which I would probably have to do in person due to parcel thieves) and then either getting the (expensive) outdoor bin delivered or trying to scrape out some time for someone to drive me to get it.

I could use a plastic tub I have but they’re a bit small and not uv safe so will crumble apart and leave compost everywhere.

And I wonder if I would even use the compost. Getting a bit discouraged about gardening. Lately it seems everything I do here just backfires and becomes more trouble than it’s worth. Also wondering if it will stay warm enough to properly rot things down if I start it now.

I could ask someone to pick up my order…

But compost bin to deal with leaves, yay or nay?

Have found my house vendor trying to get rid of furniture on FB. If the place isn't properly empty tomorrow this could get complicated.

Last night I watched Judgement in Nuremberg again, for the 11th time. Time to get preachy.

This time I watched to see every single instance where an everyday person could have done the right thing and saved a person

to see what everyday people can do and what people really did.

This movie is real life, it was taken from transcripts, so these are real actions real people took.

So in little ways, and it all adds up to a big picture, many people did the moral thing and the legal thing. They refused to wear a swastika, they defended people who were attacked . They refused to falsely accuse people.

Where people failed, they did not do the moral thing and they did not follow the law. The police did not charge the attackers. People made false accusations. They made false judgements. Each instance adds up to a bad society.

the servants who said they could do nothing could have encouraged their son to be a conscientious objector. They could have protested the death camp, they could have resigned from working for a war criminal. Yes, it has a cost but the cost of not doing that was far far greater.

we must follow our consciences and remember that each small action we take reinforces our personal and social belief that each individual has value.

thank you for listening

do not give up being a good person, it is our greatest weapon against evil

what I mean to say, we don't have to do big things to fight, just being our good selves in everyday life is fighting , so we don't have to feel hopeless and like we can't do anything
