The leave relaxation has kicked in. Goodbye work, hello good times!!!
Im so fucking excited to get the car on Saturday. Maaaaaaan I think I'll drive all night lol
Edit: sorted free entry and $350 of free drink cards at 3 clubs ๐ fuck yeah!
If you google "birthday specials" you'll see a bunch of clubs that offer stuff for free on your birthday.
Even fluffy is getting in on the action:

Mental health wise I've been in real crisis for the past couple of weeks but I seem to have come back from the brink somewhat.
Is it weird that I don't remember large chunks (think years) of my childhood?
Glad to see you back ๐ I noticed your absence but wondered if you were just lurking ๐
I'ma place this under a spoiler just in case
I also am missing a lot from my childhood, but that's the cptsd. Trauma tends to cause a repression, though I assume you know this. Please don't take me saying this, as telling you what's up. That's just my experience.
Also, I do think some memories do fade naturally anyway, especially as we age.
I hope things take a turn for the better for you WS ๐
It's interesting because a lot probably is suppression but I don't know how much is just due to old age.
memories do fade and change with age.
Found a backpack in the front garden today and these are the contents
Most of it I understand and it obviously belongs to someone with not so very good intentions. You've got syringes, keys, tools, gloves, hammer, crowbar etc... but a TV remote (and no TV) and a pair socks has me fairly perplexed.
Don't need this right now but as they say bad luck comes in threes just waiting for #3
The remote may be a generic one used to see if it opens garage doors to get into houses. The gloves, tools and more keys than one person could reasonably own do suggest break ins.
I know a neighbour had an intruder a few years ago and when they got arrested cops found the person had stolen his keys. So thatโs probably it. They might take them intending to come back.
The socks may be used to tie the arm off for injecting, or a spare pair. But with the filters and syringes there itโs probably the former.
Baffled by the plug in light (is that what that is?) but maybe itโs hands free lighting that wouldnโt be too bright.
Perhaps the cops might like a look but not sure what they can do if nothing has happened yet.
Perhaps you might like to babysit a nice loud doggo for a little while til things are less sketchy.
Edit: Security camera is also a great idea if possible
more keys than one person could reasonably own do suggest break ins
Yeah my thoughts too.
The plugin light is an odd one.
i'm intrigued by your TV remote suggestion I've never heard that's a thing jeez.
I think I will hit up the local police see what they make of it all.
thank you kindly for your suggestions :)
This was still bugging me so I looked it up. Yeah thatโs likely a universal remote (works on tvs dvd players and other things) which can also be synced to garage doors by the owner.
I think old mate possibly racked it from someoneโs car.
No worries, I donโt know if any of it is fact but you hear or read things.
I really hope you stay safe
The socks might be for deadening the sound of the hammer breaking something. I too reckon it's time to borrow Hambam for a week or two. Or even Butters - who is quite capable of sneering a burglar to death imo.
Bastard stole someoneโs remote
Hope youโre doing ok and your mum is feeling better, too

Goodnight everyone, sweet dreams.๐๐๐
Due to popular demand I went out for groceries and petrol today.
Finally back home and settled.
Everything took so much longer today due to the massive traffic accident on the Nepean highway being blocked in 3 lanes.
Entry to car park of shopping centre was closed and escalator was borked.
Was too tired so I didnโt get to look at some stuff I wanted to and I didnโt get the potatoes. Iโll get them next week.
Anyway glad to be safely home with all the stuff happening and got my pakidge!

Well, shit. My line up manager had been given the golden handshake. And the new line up manager is my previous boss who is probably the biggest asshole on the planet. soo..... yeah I think its time to jump ship. the current direct manager stays the same, and I adore them but I'm just not prepared to work for the asshole again.
WHY are they doing this stuff in november ffs?!
Not the best time to start looking BUT a great time to polish up your CV and such.
Start spamming applications and you might get your foot in early in the new year.
Good luck!
Yeah but any time working for this prick is a bad time, so nothing ventured nothing gained. Just knowing I plan to leave makes it bearable, even if it takes a few months to land something. plus might be the fun to be a fly on the wall and watch shit go down. "manager" has no business managing. Be that his small team or half the damn department.

WHEW. I am tuckered. The house is starting to look a lot emptier, though!
Today's tasks were...
- uni meeting online
- misc admin (the REA still hasn't arranged what time I'll pick up the keys tomorrow... truly useless)
- Packing stationery
- Dismantling the bed frame and vacuuming so much dust underneath
- Filling in the holes from the blinds now removed (mostly my friend did it...)
- Dismantling the bookshelf
- Consolidated op shop clothes, books and shoes (which my friend generously dropped off)
- put the clothes and shoes to throw out in the bin
- MOVED OUT ALL MY OUTDOOR PLANTS (except for two heavy planter boxes) ;_;
Swung by MKS on my way back to treat myself to some takeaway curries for dinner.
Now my next big task is the kitchen items... need to juggle this against the timing of unplugging my fridge on Sun am.
That's enough for today though I think. I'm proud of myself and endlessly grateful to my friend.

The switch to video feature on Spotify is pretty cool. The way it switches to exactly where the audio track is playing in the video on command. Probably a gimmick I'll get over but for now, I'm enjoying watching music videos I haven't seen for ages (or never seen).
The junkie lady locked her junkie boyfriend out and now they're screaming at each other.
I fucking hate living here.
Edit: it's over. Im not going to let that shit get me down. Let the joys of annual leave begin!
Leave starts today. Yeeha!
Stomach still fucked but at least I don't have to go to work till next Wednesday!
Just hope tummy isn't too sore for the weekend birthday debauchery lol

Parts of the VCE exams were leaked this year as you could see some of the questions by highlighting the cover pages. I wonder if someone working at VCAA did that on purpose to see how long it would take for someone to find it.
Porridge! Featuring home grown strawberries and some fruit syrup I made.

These strawberries aren't doing great yet as they're still getting settled from being moved from my partner's mother who lived in NSW :)
Ok on the topic of strawbs - if anyone is around the Mornington Peninsula, Sunny Ridge Strawberry farm often sell big boxes of strawberries. Was $10 for a giant box and they were sweet. Most of them are in the freezer now, but very good value if anyone's ever down that way :)
Leave day for tomorrow approved!
Now the tough decision.
Grocery shop today plus petrol or leave it for tomorrow.
Decisions, decisions...

Mr Piffles, The World's First Magic Performing Chihuahua died last week - a day after Toby. I met Mr Piffles in Vegas back in 2016 and he was a very good boy indeed.
