Had a massive day, just sat down to go through the happenings of the DT. Two days in a row not WFH is a shock to the system, Iโ€™ve become such a home working slob. Quick wind down then off to bed as I gotta do it all again tomorrow. ๐Ÿ˜ด

One warm mince pie with cream and Bailey's custard. I could go another one.

Ok maybe I did.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Fucking cleaning took so long even with the help of a friend because there was still Stuff that took long rob to load. Wish I didn't have overdue stuff to do at work this morning.

But i am really, truly, for sure this time 99% done - every last thing has been cleaned except the kitchen and second bedroom floor, it was too late for a vacuum. Tomorrow lunchtime i shall mop, take exit photos, drop off the keys and be done with moving out.

... next stage is moving in... I live in a fortress of bags and boxes. But first, my car is loaded up with shit that needs donating including a neglected bike (with good parts). Gonna try and temporarily store it at work so I don't need to be driving around with a whole ass bike in the back for the next few days.

Also, the check tyre pressure light came on even though I got a new tyre. More headaches! Rahhhh!

Good night everyone..

You're doing really, really well! Things will settle soon :)

Had a really helpful session with the psych today. Talked a lot about why I am struggling to let go of stress and work and gave me some good exercises to help getting some structure back and some boundaries (for me). I picked out this time. She is kind but not afraid to suggest stuff - which is good. Practical.

Step one. Back to decent bedtimes. Night all. โ™ฅ๏ธ

Stupid packages havenโ€™t been sent on the same day.

I hope the one delayed arrives by Friday or else itโ€™s going to get wet. :(

Digging holes...filling holes.

Digging holes...filling holes

What comes outta one hole goes in another....

Working from home feels like a rest after such a big weekend. I want to focus though so I can work on other things the rest of this week

Hello peeps

How goes it?

Edit: love you all, thanks for the welcomes! Have a photo of the cat that comes to visit me sometimes, most recently a few days ago!

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 points 3 hours ago

Yay!!!! Nice to see you back, a bright light in a difficult week (for me anyway)

[โ€“] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Hi Baku welcome back! ๐Ÿค—

[โ€“] Baku@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

Hellooo ~~(Frank Walker from national tiles)~~ forcey! How goes it?

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Good to see you back. You missed strawberry day, but are just in time for golden syrup pudding ๐Ÿฎ

[โ€“] Baku@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

THERE'S A STRAWBERRY DAY AND I MISSED IT??!?!?!?

(Maybe for the best. I forgot that I garden, and let my strawberries die, and went from a dense forest planter box of dozens down to 2 green sprouts I'm not entirely sure aren't weeds. I'm a fraud)

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

hey Baku. Nice seeing you. ๐Ÿ™‚

Hope you are doing well. ๐Ÿค—

[โ€“] Baku@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Goonsy! Thanks! You as well!

[โ€“] BakuToo@aussie.zone 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm also BakuToo now, I'm not sure if I'll switch back to AZ yet, or stay on my SJW account, but just know I'm a real Baku, too!

[โ€“] Baku@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

Confirmed, this is me

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's great to see you back here. It must mean things are going well again

[โ€“] Baku@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Cheers Tom! Things are going better, I've been seeing a psych regularly, and am moving out next month. A little spooky, but it'll be nice to be like... A proper tenant with rights and all that fun stuff. The only downside is power companies are confusing, and I'll have bulls

You're back! Fucking grouse man! This is such a tight little group, you know some people miss you when you're not here. I had to look at trains because you weren't here. I mean, I look at them anyway, but I thought of you and wondered if you were also train enjoying. Well, were you?

Edit; had alcoholic ginger beer at a park near a train station, sorry for effusive language. I'm ok.

[โ€“] Baku@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Ay thanks!

Actually, no, not really. I caught a train home on Halloween (after a bit of a tiki tour around on the trams), but that's about it

[โ€“] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Oh well, plenty of time yet!

[โ€“] Baku@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'm heading off on vacay next week, so I'll have plenty of time to catch trains then

Even plotting a trip to the railway museum, if they decide to be open

[โ€“] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Be sure to post some pics!

[โ€“] Baku@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Always! Remindns me, a few days after taking my break from here, I went down to Willys prom (one of the few places I hadn't been). Saw the cutest baby emus. So cute! I almost want one

BABI:

[โ€“] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

So cute! Did you camp down there?

[โ€“] Baku@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

No camping from me, unfortunately I don't even know how to, but it was still a cool trip. On top of the cute emus, there was also a cute parrot (?) with zero fear response trying to steal my chips. It kept landing on the table and walking up to my chippies, and every time I tried to shoo it away, it would hop back a step then just stand at me like "what're you gonna do? Hit me??"

The criminal wannabe chip thief in question:

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 6 points 7 hours ago

Hey Baku.

Welcome back!

I hope youโ€™ve been well!

[โ€“] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 8 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Yay Baku's back, alright!

Good! Well a bit stressy but good. How are you friend?
