Melbourne

Gonna have a few celebritory drinks today/ tonight because of the perfect weather, the few birthdays this week on here and the man finishes up work today for a 3 week holiday. I am match ready.

Edit: thank you for the birthday wishes! Sending you all good vibes! 💜💜💜

I've been falling asleep to hour+ long videos on space, by Astrum Extra, so I don't know why I had a nightmare about

tw blood

Living alone and finding blood everywhere in my house, running to the neighbours for help, then waking up to find blood everywhere in my house, running to the neighbours for help, then waking up to find blood everywhere in my house, then running to the neighbours for help... And so on. It was a good 15-20 loops before I woke up at 3am.

The cat came and cuddled me so I fell back asleep and was fine. I'm not upset, just tripped out lol.

Second ADHD assessment appointment for my partner today, so another trip across the city. Gonna treat myself with a cafe coffee, because it's my birthday 😂

My beautiful friend came over yesterday, and made a delicious soup, healing for the mind, body, and soul. I feel so happy to have spent the day with them. They got to meet Mickey, we took a walk, it was great! They gave me their guitar, so I've been practicing last night - gonna practice more this afternoon when I return. I do wish I had slightly longer, thinner fingers so I stop flattening the other strings when practicing chords, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it with practice.

It took me nearly a month after getting my psych to fill out uni support forms (which she did within 24 hours of asking) to actually submit them to the uni out of paralysis/shame/anxiety/whatever - I did it this morning and then got a response from the subject coordinator eerily quickly... was out doing fieldwork and told myself I wouldn't read it till I got home because I was fully expecting a "no".

Turns out I got 10 days extension no questions asked. Fucking A. Sat with so much anxiety and avoidance for nothing.

Gonna celebrate by treating myself to an afternoon and evening of yet more PHM. Good good good. Thank!

I have just submitted my first rental application, which was slightly terrifying. It is a lot more involved than the last time I was looking for a private rental (over 20 years ago!)

Hopefully they haven't just rented it to someone else, the landlord falls in love with Mr Woof and Miss Meow when they see the pictures, the property will be just as I imagine it in real life and I won't have to look at any others. Unlikely, but I can hope!

Thanks for the birthday wishes yesterday everyone. It feels like I got a bigger response here from people I haven't met in person compared to what I ever got from people I know on Facebook

Only ~~2~~ 3 wake ups so far. Not bad.

That reminds me. There's several Simon's at work. I'm very unaccustomed to having the same name as other people.

Ive only ever met 1 other person with my real name.

Feels odd to call someone else by my name.

Aaaand Trump goes back on the tariffs, and nobody is surprised because the country is run by toddlers basically. Stock markets are back up. Wonder which of his friends made a pretty penny by buying during the low and selling for an overnight 5-9% profit

I have van. Now I'm waiting for an assessment of whether the reversing camera can be installed without a new head unit 🤞

It is nice sitting up high and being able to see further, but it will take a while to get used to primarily using the side mirrors. I have so far managed to avoid turning on the windscreen wipers instead of the blinkers.

Edit: this is taking much longer than anticipated.

2nd Edit: I will need a new head unit. The good news is they can do it tomorrow, so will be able to back more confidently very soon. I did manage to back into my carport without too much trouble when I got home, although the sensors' beeping adds a new feeling of drama to the process.

gecko frens living on the front porch 🦎🥰

Angle grinding done. Not touching that thing for a while. Fiesty little fucker.

Pretty sparks though.

Sitting in the sun on my lunch break is good for my soul

Power is out, right before I could make breakfast.

Hopefully it’ll come back sooner rather than later I’m all prepared for it!

Thank heavens for portable power packs.

Getting through the day with them.

Had some absolutely funky dreams last night. Vivid, memorable and absolutely bonkers.

Last time I drink sugar free lemonade before bed time.

Got a covid and flu shot yesterday and I am zonked.
