Thanks for all the congratulations on the unit acquisition yesterday. I'm still settling into believing it's real, especially after two let-downs.
It's going to be strange not obsessively checking the real estate sites and doing the rounds of the OFIs every Saturday.
Now to continue with Operation Sort Shit and decide what to take and what to dispose of.

A temporary storage space like Storage King is your friend here I reckon. I found when I moved, that I just put everything I wasn't sure about in that space, and only put stuff in the new place that I KNEW I wanted there. The doubtfuls were sorted later and a lot went to next generation family and to charity etc as I just didn't have room for them in the new house. Ended up with the new place having ONLY stuff I wanted to keep. This really really helped my decision making on the other stuff. It also helped that the storage space was just up the road from a Vinnies which dramatically eased the actual disposal. Worth considering as a tactic.

Off 'sick' today. I've earned it damnit.
I should have done the same. Iโm standing on the corner of Struggle Street and the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
At home with allergies. Partial fib.
I don't think I've suffered from hayfever this late in the season. Generally a spring thing and gone by Dec/Jan....It's friggin March and I'm still dealing with it
Same! I haven't sneezed so much this time of year

Naw
My haul of little tomatoes from the community garden to spice up my sandwiches.
I love putting these in a pasta and when I bite them, they go pop in my mouth. So much fun.
They're pretty small sadly, been cutting them in half and popping them inside a sandwich.
I don't think the ones I have will go very far with pasta.
They are yummy and sweet though.
Nothing wrong with that. I've done that heaps of times. Pepper and salt those babies. Yum.

Listed some old PC parts on Gumtree, the first five minutes I get the standard "I want to purchase give me your email so I can send you a phishing link" quickly followed by an account called "support" with the gumtree logo telling me I had a pending offer and to just provide my email.
This was then followed up with a second "support" account trying a different scam, and one person doing the "I will send a courier" bit.
Gumtree is so shit.

Official first day of term for my Uni courses today. Time to knuckle down and get back into the studying.
TIL about "sad beige moms". People so obsessed with image they turn their whole world beige ( and grey blue ) , including the world of their kids.

random musings (but basically instant pot FTW)
I got myself an instant pot for Christmas and it has been amazing on low energy / sad days. Today I was WFH and feeling terrible, but I managed to get rice on mid afternoon ((cup of rice, cup of water turn it on and wait for it to beep at me). Then I managed to saute some onions garlic etc, added lentils, random spices and some leftover tomatoes and I got yummo dal stew with the rice. Enough for a couple more meals too. And I feel much better for having eaten something hearty and homemade.
I realise when my energy is low I can chop a few things, but nursing multiple pots on the stove then cleaning them all up is too much. Having something that I can put stuff in and it does it all and just beeps when my stew/beans/whatever is ready is great.
Also been making yogurt in it which is also awesome.

A young brushtail just tried to have a go at Mr Woof through the glass of the back door! It was full on banging on the outside of the door right in front of him. Mr Woof is now outside doing a full security patrol while Miss Meow supervises from inside.

Alrighty. Halfway through preparation for interview on Wednesday. Shame it's going to be 37 degrees so I'll be ubering instead of PT so I'm not a sweaty mess.
That aside, if anyone has a ps5 controller with stick drift, push the analogue sticks down for 10 seconds, then turn clockwise for 10 seconds and again counter clockwise for 10 seconds.
It actually works and saved me 100 bucks
Good luck on the prep and upcoming interview ๐๐๐
Thank you โค๏ธ

I'm going to Aldi. What coffee beans should I get for my plunger?
If it helps I like strong cappuccinos and I use the #13 calabrese pods for my Aldi pod machine because the #14 intensio is disgusting.
I guess it depends on what you like, I do like smooth and fruity blends but sometimes a dark one isn't too bad either.

I'm le tired ๐
Edit: because I referenced it, here is the first video I ever saw on the internet. Iirc I saw it on ebaumsworld and have been saying "but I'm le tired" for over a decade now
My neighbour, the Sax Man, is practicing, and another neighbour is watching The Office.
Such a strange mix of sounds lol
When I look at the dating pool I think yup this is why I'm still single and I just don't have the energy for it anymore.
I guess a lot of straights feel the same, even if statistically the odds are more in their favour overall.
Some things dramatically reduce the โpoolโ to near zero sometimes. This actually a good thing. Dealbreakers are just that.
Sounds like you are looking for queer. Iโm only a smidge that direction but 100% childfree. Filters did not offer a smorgasbord!
have I told you all how much I love netflix, just incredible shows from all over the world
this week I have been watching shows from Brazil and this song from O Mecanismo haunts me
