ee another jigsaw candidate from the arse end of swan bay at sunset.
I love how the reflection shows the colours differently
So beautiful
No limits for the weed burner.
Everything food is fair game.
Stabbed it for extra luck.
My suggestion is kranskis!
bruh..
In an attempt to be more social, I engaged in small talk today.
Her: We are always so busy.
Me: Well it is a growing industry.
I was getting a haircut
I am pretty sure I heard what cringe sounds like.
That's absolute gold.
Someone: Oh you're growing a beard.
Me: Always.
Someone: Oh, you got a haircut?
Me: I actually got several thousand hairs cut
Or me: To date, probably hundreds, actually
So I finished my two day training for very complicated accounts a week and a bit ago, then immediately went on planned leave. Ten days later, today, I'm to be dealing with these accounts and I feel I've forgotten everything.
Before starting I was exceptionally, surprisingly nervous like my heart was racing, crazy nervous energy. I was thinking holy shit I'm actually terrified.
After a little while it dawned on me though, before starting work I had a strong large coffee like usual. What I did not do however, was drink any coffee during my time off. I was flying off the walls with a caffeine buzz and confusing it with pure terror about these accounts.
Day went fine. I dealt with said accounts without drama, quite a lot more energy expenditure as lots of new ideas etc. but it went it well!
Toldya! Still congrats on managing the hard stuff! This is where the sheep / goat divide is most clearly seen. Goats rule!
I swear every time I have a rough day, I come home to this
'wot you looking at'.
Not pictured, the mountain of toilet paper in the background.
The sassy little leggie
aw, she's been waiting 🥰
Gotta make the $ to buy the treats to keep the cats happy!
Goodnight all ❤️
good night 😘😻
I see your fluff Gibson 👀
The vet said she was getting a little "fluffy" lol
Chopping board is oiled 👍
I went on the train and used my new earbuds to listen to an audiobook. 😊
No more sitting ruminating and ending up in a negative emotional mess
It's so nice out there. Went for a stroll in the local botanical gardens. Might have a beer or 2 in my own backyard but under the shade.
I read this just as the daystar disappears. nooooo
Stood in the break for 10 minutes during lunch, just freakin' lovely.
I got 10 mins of sun. That’s enough for me!
The CBF factor is very strong today.
Very. Strong.
Today has been 3 months since I jumped off suboxone.
In that time I've more alive than I have in a decade. There's too many things to list, too many "first time in 10 years" but I'll list the 2 most important.
laughing properly
endorphin rushes from listening to and making music.
It's been hard but worth it. I've had to deal with some really serious stuff and didn't have a single craving. Didn't even occur to me as an option.
I think that speaks for itself :)
I feel like we're observing your awakening in real time and it's so cool. So glad for you sharing this positive time in your life with us 🙏🏼
I'm so happy for you that you are now happier and more alive 🥰🥰🥰
( while sad and a bit cross that you lost so much time )
Goodnight everyone, I feel like I've been dragging my arse through this glorious day instead of bopping around energized after the weekend. Now I'm dragging myself to bed and flaking out. Love you all 💓
Feeling so low.

Usually I’m really good at compartmentalising but I’m just not doing well with an old friend’s death. And scared about Melbcat’s nose.
Worried about becoming a sad sack and alienating the people around me.
so many hugs
i've done me ousewerk
beach
husband can look after rea if and when they come
oooo I needed that bike ride
also the tape I picked up.
I keep finding random golf balls around the block down here. Yesterday found about 15.
A neighbour just keeps hitting them in. I really want to know which one so I can hit them back lol. Not the safest thing to do though.
There’s so much rubbish thrown around here. Not by residents but by trashy randoms. Wondering if there’s any point to going out and cleaning it up while nobody’s out there.
It’ll probably be littered again by tomorrow.
You’re doing a good thing to pick it up. Otherwise it might get washed into storm water, animals might eat it, birds sometimes pick up dangerous materials for their nests. I live in a pretty tame area, but it’s on a walking route to the local school, so am regularly picking up food packets or random bits of junk the kids drop. Hate it, but I figure it’s better in the bin than in my front yard.
I picked up litter in the park during covid, it always comes back.
I went out with a glove and a bag to at least pick up the alcohol cans, cigarette packets, takeaway containers and used tissues. (And a random metal spoon.) Gross what people drop on private property.
They’re in the bin now.
What a day/evening/night!
Been feeling the throat, bridge of the nose, and eyes today. A few people around work have been feeling sick so I'm hoping it doesn't get worse.
So no bike in this morning. If I'd been riding already I'd deal with it, but I feel like things need to be perfect to get back into the swing of things.
The days are so nice now, though. The morning ride might suck, but the afternoon ride will be very pleasant. I need to just get on it.
I tried Carl’s jr double cheese burger. Maybe slightly more tasty than Maccas but just as small and tiny.
Not worth the money for it.
Today was a new Vegemite jar. That first swoop out of the pristine surface has a certain satisfaction.
Chicken schnitzel enjoyers: short of handcrafting your own, what do you reach for at the supermarket?
I make my own, but I have noticed that they sell premade ones at the butcher. They look pretty good, might be better and fresher than the supermarket ones?
