Seems like the cool change is here! Or at least it's much colder outside than it is inside (32°C).
Edit: It's raining in the west now!
Yes, looks like it's hit the cbd - went from 38 to 28.
I'm still keeping the AC on for a couple hours as the bricks are still hot and emitting heat. 22C at night is still much hotter in this apt.
On tram home after trekking thru city shopping. I am DRIPPING. This tram is meant to be air conditioned, I think it's on its lowest setting 🥵🥵🥵
Waiting for the smoke detector people. Will they by some miracle make it within the assigned time slot this year?
So far so good with today’s weather. Only 34 at my place, air con doing a lovely job of keeping it nice inside. Washing dried super fast on the line. Managed to get a couple of chores done too.
Let's see who wins today:
Place built in 1914, upstairs in shade no aircon. C'mon bby hit over 40's.
Winner gets an icypole and electrolytes.

Today kind of sucked and not just the heat.

When I asked for more antibiotics the receptionist was kind of snippy on the phone and didn’t think I should have them, but then relented and said she’d ask. Then I went to pick them up and once she recognised me from the phone I kind of got a grumpy ‘oh’.
I would have thought it was just the busy time of year but she spoke more nicely to the guy who came in after me. And no, I wasn’t being blunt or rude myself. I was consciously being very polite and almost feeling like I had to beg. I left the last dentist because of the receptionist there… I will be keeping an eye on the interactions. 🫤
Edit: She also brought up that I had cancelled an appointment before Xmas but that was purely because they weren’t going to let me leave alone after a procedure and the person I had couldn’t make it. I would have attended if not the case.
TBBT.
I don't find picking on people funny
So I've ended up with a gift card to one of my most hated shopping places.
David Jones.
Overpriced and almost nothing that interests me there.
One possible thing I could do is use it to buy a laptop bag or am I better off spending my own money and claiming it as a tax deduction?
Couriers please you fucking numpties
Fuckin incompetent couriers 🖕
Before anybody tries to defend them them, about 10 metres away is a gigantic, vehicle sized, wide open gate he could've used. But he couldn't be arsed
In other news I got a pamphlet in my letterbox about "labour indoctrinating children with gender-fluidity" yeah... Righto lol. Honestly the sort of person with the intelligence to leave a parcel on the side of the footpath is definitely the kind of person that believes "immigrants are ruining the economy!", "labour indoctrinate$ children with the gay!", and "petter Dutton will save the economy!". Wouldn't surprise me if Mr. Courier please was the one that stuck it in there
Lol! The postie just like "fuck this shit I'm out" 😂
I'd be sending those photos to the courier company tbh, that's bullll
Smoke alarm dude may have been on time, but he moved the alarms for the third time in as many years. I refuse to believe the regulations have changed that often. They are now all out of non ladder reach so I can't hit the button when they get set off by humidity. Four times so far this afternoon. TheVoid literally shat himself.
Looking for a bit of advice from you good folk.
I am under very heavy suggestion to undertake some form of mindful, de-stressing activity that is not running or cycling (which I already do but tend to get a bit competitive with myself about).
Having never done either, can someone with practical experuence of both give me some idea of relative pros and cons of pilates and yoga? or what the hell all the different yoga types are and what is best for a novice??
edit: you guys rock, thanks heaps for all the info and ideas!
Boss: "Ok, what are we working on this week?" Me: "I mean I showed up, do I get points for that? gotta be honest with ya, there aint lot to do given the change freeze."
Not to jinx myself, but I think most clients have a change freeze at the moment.
Let's see what happens.
Why is it still going to be 38 at 7pm when I finish work and need to go buy groceries 😭 I thought I would be safe
