So over the weekend Mr P and I formally broke up. First there was an argument where a ramekin was thrown, then a calming down and proper conversation. We've been in separate bedrooms for years so not much is really changing. He initially asked me to leave. I said no, I've been paying rent for 13½ years to the owner of the property who isn't you. Neither of us can afford to move anywhere or pay market rent. Also with him on the dole, can't afford to pay for all car related expenses, which is needed with the children. I said I'm still happy to pay that stuff and I think he saw that it was a pretty good deal actually and he's best to eat humble pie and stick with it. It's in my interests for him to have a car to do child/school related things whilst I'm at work, and I'm happy to contribute to that. I told him (not for the first time) that he's welcome to see other people as long as discretion is exercised regarding the children. Since then things have been really civil between us. Let's see how it goes.

Night walk. Hambam ended up rolling in some other dog's shit. Needed bath.

I was not very popular at first but he ended up accepting his fate.

Getting that dog into the bath wasn't very easy.

I walked out of work at lunch yesterday. My boss was understanding about it - he is…aware of my week! - but I’m now in the grey area where I’m sort of waiting on funerals.

First one of the two is tomorrow

Great image to wake up to lol

Woop there it is

Rent increase notice received. I had a feeling it was coming, as the places near me with a similar floorplan were increasing. I almost can't be mad tho, it's still $50pw under the comparable places lol!

Sent a reluctant message to the apartment using one of my two car parks, about starting to charge for it. I won't charge them if I find a job though, and what I'm asking per month is $150 less than other car parks around here too so 💀🤷🏼‍♀️

I am more pasta then human... I may have eaten a bit too quick...

I've decided I need a detailed and comprehensive moving plan to make sure everything goes smoothly for my relocation. After a lot of research and considerable thought, here is what I have come up with:

Step 1: Put everything in boxes
Step 2: Move boxes to new house
Step 3: Unpack all the boxes

I think I've got this.

I'm thinking about what I would like for my birthday and the only thing I can come up with is a caviar tasting box.

If I want something I buy it. I really can't think of anything else.

Did everyone stockpile machetes before they were banned today? It slipped my mind and I forgot to get mine

dear optichoice caller who refused to acknowledge "not interested"

I hope you enjoy the high volume youtube poop I put the phone next to, and the complaint to the DNC

Usually we have Spotify on at work, but today we have the radio and they’re advertising a competition to win a ski trip to Utah and all I can think of is what if you won the competition and then were denied entry because border officials didn’t think it was enough of a reason to visit? I wonder if there’s the option to just take money instead, haha.

Well I've had my "stuff I bought from Temu that is actually tiny" experience.

yay, no rain on the horizon , I think I will to the city for a bit

$400+ for floor seats for One Republic at Sidney Myer Music Bowl? $180+ for terrace seats? Fuck that.

train delays all day from various punks walking out on tracks

wtf , this is intolerable

I just broke my packing tape dispenser.

Fortunately it is just a plastic guard so I can still use it, I just need to be careful not to gouge the tape with the metal cutter.

Maybe I've been too busy to notice but did I miss Autumn? Seems winter is here already.

I stand corrected. My Temu order is fucking AWESOME!!! I fucking love decorating my space!!! Aaaaargh!!!!!!

More photos on the weekend.

I am exhausted and I'm still so far behind where I want to be packing wise. All this stuff seems neverending, and everything seems to triple in size once I try to put it into a box. At least I should be building some good muscle with all this lifting.

Miss Meow likes the stacked boxed decor theme, she's been having a great time exploring everything.

I don't think the heating is working in my workplace, I'm cold.

My heater is getting a service this morning. In a few short hours I'll be warm. Glorious.
