Melbourne

FIRST

(Yeah imma be that guy today)

I have a funny feeling my foreign name might be stopping me from getting interviews, so I've gone with a "Christian" replacement.

Let's see what happens.

Made some lovely banana bread yesterday to have for breakfast.

By 8 am the loaf was gone (family helped).

Just a heads-up - it’s a full moon tonight and everyone is nuts. Me included, lol

Autumn days are so beautiful. It's like the world is resting after all the hard work of spring and summer and getting ready for winter.

Oh no. I have a sick child at home. I will be spending the day disinfecting the door handles and stocking up on supplies.

This coffee ain't doing it. And the tiredness will continue for a couple of days more. 7am flight to Sydney tomorrow, and another early-ish morning on Wednesday before coming home. Easter break will be for sleeping.

I get the sense that its gonna be a really long week.

Help I had interview today for job I turned down despite good effort to convince me but head overflowing with Thoughts and Realisations and felt wanted yet cautious of attention and now have other opportunity come up through contact that is also bringing up many emotions brain firing in many directions and thinking about all of life's questions at once in a calm yet monumentous manner wrote 3 pages in Word of thoughts and fears which is like whoaaa but also shiiit also had coffee at interview and then did 500 things after and have not eaten since yesterday oh fuck okay I better make some dinner and eat it asap ahhhhh.

I won't respond to my ex's message, but boy do I want to. I just want to photos of our dog Ruby. My ex and I adopted her when she was 1; she'd be 10 or so now.

Sweet puppy, my beautiful bow-legged Barb. Gosh how I miss you so, my Ruby-Rhubarb.

Oh boy I'm real tired. I had some stuff in my hand to throw in the bin and I walked to the laundry, lifted the laundry basket lid and ALMOST released before realising that a moment earlier I'd thought about picking up yesterday's tshirt and putting it in the laundry basket and that's how that all happened. I think I might make the effort to seek coffee this morning.

Wtf‽ Wtf wtf wtf‽

My ex just sent me a lengthy dm on Reddit talking about our relationship and whatnot.

What the actual fuck? I was wondering why I woke up at this hour; I felt a disturbance in the force.

Now I have to deal with this?! For real? Ugh wtf

Partner and I had a laugh at my ex's message, discussed which Schitt's Creek gif to send as a reply. Opted for no reply, still.

It was a nonsense message, with no substance. Sent to satisfy their own selfish need for forgiveness and closure. It would have made for better content on r/unsentletters. Self-centred as always; the most hurtful thing I could do to them at this point is to not even acknowledge it.

How gross of them.

🥱another week of work from office every day for me. I get free coffee and go for delicious lunch every day at least

So I've been steadily working out for 6 months after being taken out for the same amount of time prior to a shoulder injury. I'm starting to see results and this pleases me.

I wouldn't say my shoulder is 100% but it's fine provided I stay away from certain movements.

My lift for the GP tomorrow fell through so I canceled. I’m not making it there under my own steam.

I’m scrubbing cat bowls while puddin rests and have ordered some paper bowls for her meals while I’m drowning. A different brand of flea drops is on the way to break the cycle (Nexgard Spectra) because apparently Advocate can be less effective in the last 2 weeks.

Tomorrow I probably sort an appointment with the regular vet for this week. I’m very likely going to have to get her there myself in a taxi which is exhausting but I’ll do my best.

I haven’t forgotten the orange cat. The poor little eyes. I’ll call the council when I can but don’t know if he’ll be there. When things are less fucked I might do an occasional recce and see if I can trick him into the carrier

So we keep a jug of water on the bench by the kettle and bottle maker. You're supposed to feed the bottle maker boiled water that has cooled, hence the jug. I was in the kitchen cooking lunch when I saw the cat jump on the bench and start drinking from the jug. Doing my best not to think of the greater implications of this.

I'm tired but I don't want to go to bed. Flashbacks to childhood lol

I should have gone to bed when I was tired last night lol

Someone stole the air release valve from my new watering system and a gecko from under one of the bricks I was putting in the car to take to the tip is now in the.. car.

I want that sentence to make sense.

But who steals a $20 air release valve?

I'm staying up to watch Population 11 on Stan. It's a comedy but has much similarities to Lost in Larrimah. So far not bad.

oh great i slept wrong my left neck/shoulder is on strike

I think I'm (getting) sick :( a bit before I left the hotel I started getting a sore throat, and my nose has been a little blocked today

I don’t want to be awake yet

Halp.

Headache.

Taken tablets.

Not working.

Faceplanted with the dishes still soaking, woke up to the breakfast and meds alarm. It's ok. I already put a bucket under the dripping sink pipe. I feel like I've been put in a sack and beaten by hammers

Peanut butter toast and a cup of tea
