I know I'm not built to have kids, when I see them on the train and feel a visceral disgust for them, their disrespect, and their immature brains. I'm sure they will grow up to be fine, but kids are so disrespectful on PT.
Kudos to anyone who has raised/is raising kids, but that clusterfuck ain't for me.
Edit: thinking about it, it may be due to the intense, abusive bullying I was subject to in school, and now I entirely distrust every child over 10 and under 18. Hm. Trauma is certainly pervasive in my life and affects my attitude.
Am in all-day team training, being made to watch videos
save meeeee!
I have had two friends recently get into accidents where they were going through a roundabout and someone did not give way and slammed out into them - one on a bike and one in a car with family. I really think we are not ok out there, just go carefully and watch out.
Edit-all involved are now doing ok.
made a.... I dunno what your call it. One Pot? Veg and meat curry? Ratatouille? Whatever, made a thing last night. Not a huge veg guy, but cause it was all mixed in with some chorizo and chicken it was amazing. Woke up still thinking about it this morning. Didn't even follow a recipe, just took some inspiration from a YouTube video and made some changes.
Ugh, between Protest and Weather and this time of day, this is definitely one time I wish the flight was delayed... ETA right now is that I'll get there just in time for boarding. Breathe deeply...
E: it was in fact delayed but I also got there in the nick of time anyway. I'm going to nap. I'm so wound up and tense!! zzz
Had plans to do some tidying and sorting since my morning client cancelled but I'm tired from a busy two days and the cats clearly want to nap on me.
Who am I to deny them?
EDIT: Aaaand just like that they got up.I don't have para social relationships with celebrities, I just really enjoy reading about their shenanigans and weirdness. They're humans too, elevated on pedestals, and it's interesting to see what humans do when they are so rich and famous.
This whole David Grohl cheating scandal is delicious. People who elevated him to the position of "one of the good ones" (alongside Keanu and Pierce Brosnan, maybe Jack Black too), are losing their minds that he not only cheated, but now has a baby on the way with the other woman.
People are taking bets on how old the other woman is, with the running theory she's in her early-mid 20s.
It's just so entertaining to me. No one is so good, or will always be so good, not will they always remain bad. They're humans trying to navigate having their lives out in the open, with every minute action critised or admonished.
Anyway, I'm all here for the juicy drama. If I had to place a bet, I reckon the other woman is 25. David is 55, prime time for a midlife crisis and to try and wet his dick with someone younger.
Seems like 14 hours of sleep between naps and a full night is what my body needed.
Feeling much better today, but still hating on grubby sick people on public transport.
Thankfully it's WFH for the rest of the week.
Vacuumed during my lunch break, that was very satisfying. Feel a lot better about coming home to a less chaotic scene. Now to just clear the most urgent work stuff, pack away leftover lunch, put rubbish out, wash dishes, deep water balcony plants, shower, final pack, find that fucking black puffer vest that's been eluding me for 3 days straight... weather where I'm going is all 18°C feels like 13°C, I need the thing! Chugging so much green tea to get me through.
The NQR in box hill has four-packs of t2 canned iced tea for $2.5 for any tea enjoyers. They're near the front.
Sodding Amazon misdelivered my pakidge - looks like they just dropped it at the nearest unit doorway, despite mine being one unit down and opposite and very clearly labelled. And of course it was the one doorstep I missed on the recce before I had to pick up the papou.
Bang go any thoughts of me getting Amazon Prime if that's the standard of service I can expect in this neck of the woods.Watching 7+ because it’s the only channel showing the show I want to watch.
Being subjected to the 4th run of 8 ads in a row. Like the pretty much the same 8 ads. I can’t even…
Where rain?
All the sewing is finished. Don't think I'll drag out my machine out for a while. I'll take pics of the upholstery cushions in the morning when the light is better. So much getting rid of stuff still happening. :) Been so busy haven't really watched any tv , movies or news and worse, haven't been posting here much but I do read everything you all write. 😘.
I'm so tempted to grab one of those magazines from the stand that the johos set up outside Coles and just keep power walking on. Every day.
I’m wondering if I should spray a stinky orange cleaner or repellent around outside to discourage the visiting cats. I like them but Melbcat gets really stressed out and being an indoor kitty could feel like she’s trapped with threats outside.
I just know orange oil and other essential oils/ strong scents are an asthma trigger and might waft back inside 🤔
Found this cool cast iron baking tin. I don’t bake though
Plumbers at my place today fixing the cause of my recent sewer pipe blockages, costing me a pretty penny but I have no choice. Hate forced spending of money on property maintenence, and especially on something I won't be able to see. Backyard is being dug up to replace an underground pipe, some plants had to get pulled out which is annoying. Didn't have the best sleep and they turned up so early so I'll be knocking back a few coffees to get through today.
Tried those Oreo coke biscuits. Not sure I want to taste coke when I eat a biscuit; and the aftertaste lingers. 2/10 from me.
Weirdly smoky out my way. Comes and goes. Or is it just my nose. AQF stations not picking up anything atm.
The rains have started here
I am still super tired, but laying in bed listening to the rain wrapped up on top of my electric blanket is actually really nice. Unfortunately I can't enjoy it much, because there's so many loud cars and motorbikes around these parts recently, and there's too many helicopters and planes flying about
Also the rains have stopped now
Hehe, TIL I can hear NFC through my headphone cable
I had my headphones plugged into the cable from my PC, but was also using my phone when I started hearing a series of clicks and then a short high pitched squeak. Played around with airplane mode and eventually narrowed it down to the NFC. That's pretty cool!
Now I'm tempted to go chuck some data on an NFC tag and see if I can hear the data 🤔
Probably a bad idea, could end up being super loud or something. Who knows. Anyway I'm bad at resisting bad ideas, will be back later with a status update
Got banh mi yesterday from Bun Bun bakery in Springvale. Was pretty good. No prices, and with a quick assessment of other places, I think Bun Bun was the most expensive in the proximity. My friend said the place that she normally goes to in the area was better.
Very interesting to see the amount of competition. Also got iced coffee and it tasted like tiramisu. So much better than the one from Roll'd.
