Melbourne

Ol' girl goes in for her colectomy tm. In for a week +.

Bit worried about the recovery as she weighs bugger all. Definitely not going in in the best of shapes. I've locked horns w/ the ol' boy way too many times but the main thing is food.

Dude can't cook and that will be a problem.

How the fuck you can go through life and best you can do is a crumpet or overdone steak is beyond me. Hasn't even tried once.

I understand that generation is a bit different w/ gender roles etc. but following a recipe isn't exactly hard.

Ffs, drop the 'it's a womans job' shit mentality and learn. Seriously stuck in the 1950's.

Thanks for reading my rant.

First time holding a bubs.

easier than holding a cat.

Nearly 3 months into my new role and I still haven't taken a day off. I have a feeling I may be falling ill when kids have school holidays.

Physio mostly fixed it. Yay.

Also temu order is here. Saving it till after I feed the cats.

Sit in bed, uber eats, play with Gibson, unpack temu.

Not too bad an evening

The news feels like foreshadowing in a bad apocalypse movie and I still need to go to work

Ran out of plates today

day off today, no painting or hard housework , that's why I painted my nails sparkly orange last night

Daylesford was cold as hell, but I lived

Saturday housework (indoors and outdoors).

Wanted to chill in the afternoon but fam wanted to go to High Point (kill me). At least food and coffe were okay AND it was indoors.

Yesterday wanted to chill, but son wanted to go to the gym and my neighbour asked me for some help (he's a good one, so of course I obliged).

Working from home today but cannot be arsed going a damn thing.

I don't mind being an arm rest

Edit: My temu haul is fucking incredible!!!!!!!

Woke up with migraine at 4am.

Pray for mojo.

26 years ago, when I was in prep/grade 1, our dance/music teacher had us sing and dance to Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In

26 years later, having never heard the song since, I can still remember how it goes.

Woke up feeling great. Getting lightly loaded on hot toddys and a bit of weed seems to have done the trick. Thanks for all the advice.

This week is poo week.

Is it too much to ask for a sock to be of normal thickness and to last at least 4 wears without getting holes?

$15 socks are not much better than $2 socks.

I've got that sleep-in brainfog because I had an early one last night dealing with an obstinate child then woke up a little later than usual this morning. I'm still feeling it

Trying and failing to turn off the sun

Today at the Op Shop I found an original Les Paul and Mary Ford vinyl. I think it's mono. 🙂 🎸

I just checked my record player was on the right speed, surely he can't really be playing that fast!?

My manager went home sick and all my motivation followed him out the gate...

Having my routines messed up by moving and changing my work hours meant I didn't do washing when I should have and almost ran out of clothes. It's also been terrible drying weather, but I fortunately have an undercover area I can set up my clothes horse so I finally have clean and dry clothes tooday. Except for one t-shirt which got blown onto the ground and rained on.

I'm going to do my main cleaning day before my first night shift each week, which meant I got to come home to nice fresh sheets on the bed this morning. Athough I'm probably too exhausted at that point to really appreciate it.

After ditching my planned trip back to Melbourne last week I really have to go this week. Hopefully I can fit pretty much everything else I need into the back of the van (which will include the lawnmower which is really needed up here with the way the grass has been grrowing) but I'll also need one more trip in a couple of weeks to organise rubbish collection for a bunch of stuff I'm getting rid of. I'm looking forward to not having to keep doing that drive, or at least not on my own time - there will be regular trips back on work time which are a very different thing to losing your own days off.

Took the day off. If I feel better later I'll jump back online.

Fuck this.

getting stuff ready for my trip to nz in 2 weeks

and doing general tidying and organising

everyday there is less chaos, more done, a little more skill achieved 🙂

My turn to be out on the Bellarine today for work. Ccccold. Wimdy

Also wish I could just hop over the bay it would be so much faster. Not looking forward to the 1.5hr drive back.

On a related note, why the fuck does a modern SUV (2022) with all the driver assist shit not have automatic lights, with the lit-up display I nearly started driving without my lights on while it was dark out. Idiotic

cheesemares again

I have had an obsession with 'toasted' wraps this week. 'Toasted' meaning I am too lazy to get the sandwich press out and clean it so I put a bit of cholesterol spread margarine in a small frying pan.

It came about after I learnt a sandwich shop in Richmond were charging $16 for a tuna melt. I tried making a tuna melt myself. Wasn't the best, but maybe that was because I didn't add lemon juice or celery.

Today was Vegemite and cheese, with a side of vegetables so I could feel better about my choices after consuming potentially too much salt. Cheese and tomato also good despite the water content of tomatoes. I wanna try mushrooms next, but I feel as though they might be too watery. Maybe some chicken.
