EVERYONE IS OK!!!!! (Middle photo, far right is the little orange with a moustache!)
I've made my first Temu purchases. Let's see how poorly made these posters are lol

Where do they sleep? Do you know?
Back at Aunt's. Hambam's look of betrayal.
Already gave him an extra dins w/ egg and cheese on top.
just came home w/ a pizza for me.
Hambam!! Know that we love you!
MissGod is not legally allowed to drive my car due to the power to weight ratio restrictions.Thanks Victoria ๐
I wouldn't want a p plater in mine!
Gotta love travelling for an hour on a Sun for a $4 item and having to walk almost the whole way because no trams came :(
Alternative was $8 shipping.
Good walk though nice and warm now no regrets.
Off in an hour to look after doggo for a few weeks. Bit worried about the whole thing but we'll see.
Lunch with friends incoming. Have just collapsed this weekend. Complete overwhelm. I am ok, some good things have started to happen and the stuff I trashed myself for at work has now been approved so I have funding for next year and some really exciting things...but it's a lot. The little animal me just wants to lie looking up into a tree. Going out will be good to move. Happy Sunday everyone ๐
Happy Sunday mate :)
Have a great time :-)
Had a lovely day playing games with some old friends and new friends. Nice to have some IRL face time with people.
Got home a few hours ago, and Mickey has been all up in my oodie with me in it haha all purrs, dribbles, and making biscuits
He was fine of course, no need for me to worry. But I will because I love him ๐ฅน
Rough night with tinyest so 5am was impractical. But 7 works, even if I miss the performances I can see them tonight. Least I donโt have to struggle through to midnight tonight and avoid the socials all day to find out the winner.
ICH KOMME!!!
F yeah!
gasping
Internet connection restored!
Makes me realise how much of my activity these days is phone in bed. I have some offline music and Minecraft and maybe a few books, but not a lot of energy. I got bored and did some doodling in my sketchbook.
How dare I invade the bedroom and chill in bed.
It was actually nice outside! Now, it's YouTube horror stories and attempted cat cuddles.
I tried to get a plumber in to go over my ancient wall heater but they wanted $350. Get fuuuuuucked.
So are we inside dwellers today or are we braving the outside?
Edit: just need to feed the strays that are hopefully OK after yesterday's run in with the off leash dog.
Once they're fed, it's zonk city, population me and Gibson.
I not only went outside, I woke up early for a birdwalk for a friend! Frigging awesome once you get past the inertia. So lovely with this sun and the cool air, all I needed was my trusty puffer jacket. Pretty beautifully warm in the car. Just driving past the autumn leaves with ABC jazz on... I feel like such a lucky and blessed person today
Outside to hang washing, back inside to find more.
Inside, tied to my desk by a headset cord โน๏ธ
Have been outside and am now inside trying to thaw
It's really not that bad here. I have neither heater on nor cardigan. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Goodnight everyone from me and the lump under the spare blanket โค๏ธ
30/50 some unlucky guesses
Decided to stay up a bit and try the new Doom game.
Holeeeeeee fuuuuuuuuck!!!!
Also, tomorrow night is going to be hectic
Internet out and upstream light on modem blinkingโฆ no TPG or NBN outages reported for my address so idk whatโs happening. :/
I propose a universal language for mental health stuff. Itโd be nice for all of us to be able to be like โthis is fucking me up and this is why I think thatโs happeningโ and have that make sense to other people.
Step one is making sense of ourselves and recognising what is happening.
Then Iโm still stuck on step 0.1- stop calling myself a dickhead ๐
There is no value in blame. Only move further down the spiral.
Try to redirect that energy to making a plan/strategy for moving past what's holding you back.
It works man. Believe me.
Somebody is hungry. Sheโs having some tuna well before dinner time
definitely feel better with rest so rest I shall

Some fresh crumpets with jam and a cup of tea please chef
A nice cup of really hot tea and a slice of fairy cake please.
Wow

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.
12 points from the Australian public huh? Based on our last census religious reporting Iโm calling bullshit or shenanigans here!

It's bullshit AND shenanigans. If the vote was legitimate, we likely would've made it to the Grand Final. Turns out we were rank 11 in our semi -- just outside the qualification rank -- and guess who dominated it. (Full results are on the ESC website). ESC has avoided a major disaster though. If the winner was different today the competition next year could have been unrecognisable in terms of participating countries and viewership.
Edit: Fixed spoiler not spoilering on mobile.

Yeah Mrs b was surprised Sweden and Finland didnโt do better. Was trying to explain thatโs what happens when someone sucks up all the votes.
A lot of acts deserved better this year.
Be interested to see if the EBU do something, but I dunno what can actually be done short of kicking them out. And given they didnโt do that last year when they were a lot more justified, and that they resigned their major Jewish sponsor itโs a rock and a hard place of their own shitty decisions coming back to bite them.
I think my body is getting too habituated to stimulation to whip myself into motivation (which comes erratically) - had a second coffee today and went to the office to try and get something done. 4 hours later of desperately scrabbling around for some kind of dopamine... Nothing. I gave up at that point but I've been feeling phenomenally tired all afternoon despite a solid 10 hours of sleep last night. How and when to turn on the switch?! Urgh. Doing work over the weekend seemed so possible on Friday but it was not to be.
Gonna make some prawn stock with these tiger prawns I bought, add some of it (and prawn meat) to this pre-made laksa, keep the rest of the stock for a pilaf maybe.
Bloody weird watching Eurovision when you know the ending, but canโt deny they put on a bloody good show and Courtney and Tony smashed it!
The Eurovision subreddit is still locked down, eleven hours later ๐
Iโve switched to a slightly warmer blanket tonight.
By the time morning comes itโs going to be somewhere between 1-3 degrees, this is going to be a tough morning.
Working in retail has made me want to pick a job that never deals with people again, or at least members of the public. I know that dealing with people will be good for me, in that I can become more assertive and less of a people pleaser. HOWEVER, I simultaneously dislike that I'm drawn to 'helping' professions.
I want to be there for other people, but how much am I supposed to give before all I am is just someone who gives to others?
My strengths are that I'm patient, kind, caring and curious. These help me deliver good outcomes for customers. But again, there is only so much I can take. I find myself genuinely not wanting to deal with people anymore, but then I feel like I won't be living up to my potential and utilising my strengths.
So yeah, I think I've figured out why I'm so exhausted despite taking hardly any committed action. When I don't feel like I have purpose in my daily life, that's when I start to spiral.
