    Big year for us. The kid turns 18 and doing year 12 VCE. Our 20th Wedding Anniversary. The man turns 50 this year and we go to Japan to celebrate. It’s all on.

    P.S. The kid got excepted into the ADF in 2026 to study what she wants.

    Tried out my new hydration vest today, fits really well and feels good when running :) Also got my MTB last weekend, just need to go and get helmet and accessories and can start training on that. Now just need to find a good second hand Kayak for us to train that part!! Excited to start working towards our first sprint race in May :)

    My not pet peeve today is little ones mum has (essentially) given the all good for little one to move to Melbourne with me so that is one gigantic hurdle cleared.

    Things may change and we will discuss it more in depth later on, but for now it means I can move ahead with preliminary plans. It’s a relief.

    No comet tonight. Shoulda been waay down on the horizon but sneaky clouds. Solid sunset though. Just kept changing.

    Been a while since I’ve been to that part of the lonny back beach. Brought back a few memories.

    Feeling a bit sad and anxious tonight. Cried a few times at work today and just feeling blue. I think coming back from a holiday straight to work is a bad idea, but I hate hate HATE that I still have to give up holiday time for work, but it does make work extra… soul dampening.

    Out to dinner with friends, home to do some cleaning, I’m so tired but I just don’t want to sleep.

    Ah the methheads are in the alley again lol. There’s one particular dude who loves to spit and swear, you can hear him huck up a biiiiiig goober and the splat on the concrete. This time he was clapping as well, so I starting clapping back, mimicking him 😂

    He got very angry and even more sweary, and a neighbour yelled at him to shut the fuck up 😂😂

    I shouldn’t provoke them from my lofty fourth floor balcony, I know. But I needed a giggle lol

    Not like the police do anything about them anyway so 🤷🏼‍♀️

    my pet peeve

    The throw away economy. I’m so tired of poorly made objects. It’s a waste of money and time, a major cause of pollution and it’s shitty to have shitty stuff that doesn’t work or falls apart.

    ( and how long is the vintage stuff I buy going to last? )

    smaller pet peeve

    the fucking people who throw food garbage in the cbd streets

      Very much agree. It’s all about maximum volume sales, maximum consumption, minimum possible manufacturing costs. If stuff is crap people will be forced to buy more, yay for the shareholders! It’s hard to find quality items anymore even if you try and are willing to pay more.

    Just winging today with some slight inspiration.

    Quickly whipped up a stir fry with mixed up various sauces and whatever I had on hand.

    I hope it tastes ok.

    noodles!

      That sucks. Were you allowed to defend yourself to refute those claims?

      Anyway it doesn’t sound like it’ll be a good place for you to stay from the sounds of things even if you could get a raise.

    Just got my tooth re-excavated because there was still nerve tissue left and a tiny bit of infection. Fingers crossed it settles.

    Ah man the sads seems to be coming back again. Couldn’t get out of bed on time today and had a whopping headache, so swapped field work for desktop work and rocked up late. Feeling dat ennui… and wisps of depressed thoughts about my apartment/life again ahead of an empty weekend (should be chores and cooking but euh…)

    Well I have the pizza I promised myself and S1 of Severence lined up to re-watch so that should see me through tonight.

      I give you permission for a floppy weekend…chores and care tasks are morally neutral. You can flop. But get some sun / trees / water in your eyeballs at some point. Notice some birds.

      I am planning a severance rebinge too so happy to fill up the thread with chat about it. BRING IT ON.

        Definitely need to prioritise the naycha over ticking things off a list… I suck at motivating myself to do things out of genuine bodily happiness and stick to screens even though I know it’s not what I want. I hope I’ll wake up making good choices tomorrow! Maybe I’ll start with drinking enough water tonight…

        Spam away the Severence thoughts! The subreddit is a bit too crazy and intense for me to read ATM (3 years of waiting will do that. I don’t remember all the main theories) Just finished ep 1 and soaking up the delightfully unsettling and suspenseful vibe. Love Patricia Arquette’s mid-Atlantic accent… And oh boy, every detail hits so differently watching it a second time round! Onto e2 and the Helly R/Helena stairwell scene makes so much sense…

      I understand the feeling of the empty weekend. I’m forcing myself to go out tomorrow night. The world isn’t going to knock on my door.

      Some weekends are just like that. Also I LOVE Severance. I’m up to ep7 of my rewatch. It’s just as awesome second time around.
