Today was a new record, woke up at 7:30 but didn't leave the bed - not even to go to the bathroom - until 6pm. I have completely checked out of all my obligations and requirements today... wasn't gonna make me feel better with no food or water, but I don't feel substantially worse either.

At least I've got dinner with me now - a nice hearty Moroccan tagine packed with veggies, and some pappadums - dragged the laptop back to the bedroom and gonna binge watch stuff until I fall asleep. Maybe I'll start with the movie CODA since I've been on an apple+ run lately (๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ, of course)

I think this is my body just going "you sorted out the car and job. NOW RELAX"

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Do you have an actual tagine because I want one but they're so awkward to store in a tiny kitchen?

Wow. Thatโ€™s impressive.

Sometimes you have to listen to your body and let it rest when it needs it.

Dinner sounds yummy!

Itโ€™ll be even more impressive if you can get to sleep at a reasonable time tonight.

It's crazy how much power a dream can have on us.

Had one with my old man in it and I was a kid.

Felt the exact same terror I felt when I was that age. There's this look he'd give me and I knew I was absolutely fucked.

I woke up semi hyper ventilating.

Even after all this time, even as a grown man, you never forget that stuff I guess.

It's that time of the evening. There's more work that needs to be done, but that's next week's problem.

Now it's time for wine and pizza

By the way where you from? It's ok if you're not from Melbourne because we loves strays. Just curious.

If I were Prime Minister, I would make it law that if a Public Holiday falls on a Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday, than the rest of the week is also a day off. Who has the motivation to work today?

Good news: the auction place will take most of the furniture that can't fit into the new place that I don't want.
Bad news: I have to take it myself.
Good news: it should fit into the new car, and my lawn guy and occasional helper will drop by and help me load up the car.
Bad news: trying to get my Google profile for the business verified and none of the methods work. This is frustrating as I'm using the practice room as a sorting hub after I cleared it yesterday.
Good news: I stress cleared the pile of crap I scooped off the floor and slung into a very large bag and most of it is now in the bin.
Bad news: I have a headache bordering on a migrane and I really can't stop to indulge it.
Good news: the old cooking chocolate seems to be helping. ;)

Shit neighbours are having a loud bluey outside.

Time to go out there and glare at them.

Yes, I've done it before.

Yes, they're scared of me.

Someone has jettisoned the motivation module. I have notified Mission Control and initiated a strong cappuccino procedure.

@Seagoon_ @melbourne So I stopped by Priceline while I was at the shops to pick up some foundation.

On my way home, I noticed that I got the one that's a shade darker than I normally get.

Then when I got home, I realised that I had made the exact same mistake last time.

The moral of the story? If you're going to be a careless idiot, it pays to at least be consistent.

When my husband and I started going out together, sometime last century, we would grab some f&cs and sit in a park somewhere. We'd declare it "International Fish & Chip Saturday Day". So my question of the day is what would your International celebration day be and when?

[โ€“] dumblederp@aussie.zone 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I read that ampersand as censorship and wondered how you could grab some fucks and sit in a park.

New snack unlocked:

A cracker, put on some franks hawt sauce, put on cheddar cheese, put on sriracha, put on a little bit of spring onion, put on finely sliced chilli, put on a dollop of plum sauce and a dollop of sweet soy (all very small amounts). Bit of cracked black pepper on top...

Where you been all my life.

I need some advice because I lack the most basic of social awareness:

I've been texting someone, only a couple of times so far, but I have just realised I've spelled their name wrong the two times I've used it (has a j instead of a y. The y-version is the one I've always seen so I guess I skipped over it). I feel bad and I know it makes me feel awkward if someone gets my name wrong. I want to apologise but then I feel like if I bring it up, I'm bringing attention to something they maybe not noticed?

[โ€“] bull@aussie.zone 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I usually blame "autocarrot". Generally gets a laugh.

It's been noticed. Everyone notices their name spelt wrong. Say nothing. Its only been twice not two years. Continue using the correct spelling.

My weird name gets spelled wrong a lot, just say sorry you were using the wrong spelling, you're not the first to get it wrong, you'll be one of a few that say something. I no longer correct people who fuck my name up, some people have been getting it wrong for years.

"hey sorry, Jvette, I've been spelling your name incorrectly; I only just noticed. Yvette, you can call me Stan instead of Dan of it helps :D"

[โ€“] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

They certainly noticed you spelling their name wrong, but it sounds like a common error. I'm sure they get it a lot and don't care. I'd bring it up light heartedly, like: "oops I just noticed I was spelling your name wrong, sorry! Do you get that a lot?"
