Not sure where CEO is so I’ll start this off tonight.

Cheers everyone!

🍻🍬

Fuck. My neighbour died.

Fuck. He was around my age and leaves behind 3 kids and a wife. Fuck.

I have made it to Ballarat. Looking at the traffic going into the city I am glad I wasn't travelling the other way.

I have hot air coming from my ceiling vents, and hot water comes out of the taps. The internet is internetting. Now I need to do a bit of cleaning and start making the place look more like a home.

1 hour to go. Fuck yeaaaaaaaaah!

Edit: I'm freeeeeeeeeeeee

From the other side of the street

It would appear the people who moved near the other day are fond of substances and DV.

To be continued...

It was meant to be! Salmon was on special. I was tired but I painstakingly picked the watercress, made the salad with apple and a lemon dressing (painful with a cut finger), and heaped some delicious pre-made potato stuff. A fine dinner to the end the week on!

although that salmon is cooooked

Tucking in now all rugged up watching Jerry McGuire because why not.

Glad I cut up heaps of fruit for the inevitable waking. Strawberries and jazz apples are a good combo with salada and peanut butter.

Also, I wish they'd bring back Sale of the Century. Random I know.

I've had this crazy expensive headset from an old job for almost 2 years.

I have just now figured out how to get it to work wirelessly.

I work in IT.

It's a razer blackshark 2 Pro.

Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw

Cheers dudes 🍻🍻🍻two weeks off 💪🥔🥔🥔

Hola my boozehound friends. $25 off $150 online spend at Dan's, code "GET25"

Aww my friend who's been living and working in China for a decade or so has decided to leave and wants to bring me a small gift. Wants to know what I want, and I have no idea what to suggest! Any ideas guys? Something useless for the kitchen?

Well, I complained and complained about my unit being a hot oven over summer but it's working to my advantage with this cool weather atm. Let's see how well it holds up over the weekend. Still haven't gotten the oodie out or heater on. No thermals, no puffer jacket...

It’s been a tiring week. Had a nice meal tonight and I have eaten much cheese. Now I’m gonna either watch tv or read something, but I’m doing it from bed with the electric blanket on.

Has anyone else noticed Bonds stuff is shit these days?

I used to be able to rely on them for fairly good quality clothes but yeah. Stuff falls apart really quickly now.

Hey, shit sleep club is popping off. I did go to bed very early. And took a magnesium pill w/dinner to combat muscle soreness. Maybe a familiar movie will bore my brain into more sleep.

Cold mornings serve as a reminder to moisturise face and hands.

Today at the beach I found a Spaceman, I will call him Taylor. Also some barnacles and a whole lot of ibises.

I can't help but feel like a prick ugh my aunt has moved to Maffra and is hosting family tomorrow night/overnight to celebrate housewarming/April&May birthdays.

I have not been able to organise for anyone to check on mickey while we're gone. It isn't feasible to bring him (dad driving us, aunt already has a cat, there will be a big dog). I know he'll be okay, we have done once before one Xmas where I left the aircon on for him and heaps of food around - so I'm confident he'll be okay and fine. But there's that niggling fear that I'm a bad fkn owner. Idk just a vent - I'm happy if people wish to pass judgement aita style.

I'm lucky he isn't super food motivated, I can leave food around and he won't scoff it then vomit. I'll put the reverse cycle on warm for him and make a couple of nests out of the oodies, hoodies, and couch-blankets. I'll leave dry food out and around and make sure his water is changed tomorrow morning before I go. He'll be fine! Fuck!

Miss Meow's garden corner is done

I also have my dining table together - I was able to eat lunch in comfort!

I think it's time to tidy up and call it a day.

Aw yeeeee The Guardian app now has the cryptic crosswords - used to be a seperate app until they pulled it. Love me cryptics! Takes a while to learn each setters esoteric use of cryptic clues, but once one does one feels very "s.m.r.t"

Lunch at a new Japanese place that's opened up proved to be a good idea, even if it's far enough from work that it stretched the time limit. But pork katsu curry don really hit the spot.

Have been an idiot with lunches this week, time to tighten the wallet next week!

I had like, 3 hours of sleep last night. Why am I still awake!?

💀

Door track cleanliness has been aquired

Vacuuming and washing the outside of the windows has also been done. I'm just about to start on mopping and then I can spend some time assembling things (and bringing more stuff in from the van).

I have decided whoever installed the sliding doors here put them in the wrong way. The traffic flow through both the laundry and the living room would work better if they opened in the other direction, and the space for the washing machine (with both the power point and drainage point in the sink) would block the doorway if you actually put the machine there. Fortunately it's a big area and there is still space for the machine, but I am going to have to run the power cord across to the other side of the sink and hook the drainage pipe over the side of the sink instead of using the built in drainage hole.

I got a decent thick fleece jacket at the op shop but washed it repeatedly trying to get the fabric softener perfume out and now it’s looking a little worse for wear :(

At least I also got a button up shirt and a woven cotton blanket which are like hens teeth now

Shucks, well I thought today's meeting with my supervisor was gonna be a bust because I spent all morning in a funk and didn't prepare much, but it was much less rushed than yesterday and we covered some really good ground! The model I was struggling with yesterday turned out to be good enough. Plus I got some very positive feedback on the logic flow and reassurance that it was all heading in the right direction (enough for a really minor thesis, anyway) even though I know there's flaws with the data.

Oh my god our Eurovision entry was so good 🤩 Fingies crossed we make it through!
