Before paying to have someone pick up my old fridge and freezer I decided to try Marketplace to give them away. It did not go well. Apparently "must be picked up ASAP today" is easily confused for "pick up maybe tomorrow" or "I'll deliver to you tomorrow in Thomastown".

So my one last possible solution to the insomnia is tomorrow night.

I really hope it works.

Dream:

I don't know. But the last sentence I was saying before I woke up was "make the machine let me go".

Eeesh.

Was literally talking about him with my son late last night. Weird.

First day of freedom (for two weeks) and I played video games on a PC with a friend. Turns out cybersickness is a thing. I felt like throwing up. But besides that, it was kinda fun.

The anxiety hasn't completely gone away because of failing, and just worrying about my future, but I think the more I do stuff, the more I will be in the present. Plus I need a good sleep.

Hey were you looking for socks? And are you in NZ? An ex of mine introduced me to possum fur socks, they're a pest in NZ so keep an eye out.
