There's an incident in Windsor. All trams and trains have been stopped going through there.

Update: Police have now arrested a man.

Made it down to the bellarine intact.

Shoutout to the ticket inspector who woke me up at the end of the line at Sth. Geelong station (supposed to get off at Geelong). The seats are too comfy. Last time I fell asleep on the train I woke up at Waurn Ponds and had absolutely no fkn idea where I was.

Worst thing is snoozing as the train then goes all the way back to the city

Surprisingly confusing, trying to figure what haircut to get at the hairdressers. Asking for the generic haircut does feel a little like going to a fast food restaurant and asking for a burger, without giving any more details.

On the bright side, curry prep is done, so that's dinner sorted.

so you can get modern-but-heritage look fans, lights, even wall plates and switches, but has anyone done a heritage look remote?

So after my accidental snooze on the train to g-town I had to wait a bit for the connecting bus. At geelong station there is a very nice park opposite the magistrates' court. When I ruin the timing that's a good spot to wait. Do not wait at the actual station.

Anyway you always see colourful things out the front of that court.

Today was a young couple I presume there on a drug related matter getting very animated.. Seemingly it didn't go their way.

Finally feeling (mostly) better just in time for work. They've given me an extra shift so we'll see how we go. At least I have a gap between shift 1 and 2 so I can have lunch at home and commune with the cats, and shift 2 is respite so not so physical.

I wish short hair wasn't actually more maintenance and fuss. Thinking to go shorter than my current length because even this is getting a bit much to manage, but will have to leave it just long enough to tie back.

I used to shave mine down to about an inch with my own clippers, which was definitely great for low maintenance day to day, but was a bit of a pain to keep cutting. When I decided to grow it out instead I made the mistake of colouring it, which meant I was stuck continuing to do that regularly as the regrowth looked awful. Eventually I took the plunge of stripping out the colour and leaving it natural so I don't need to do anything much now - a quick comb and into a ponytail every morning and that's it.

My hair is pretty cooperative though - it was the bane of my existance growing up in the '80s due to its refusal to hold a curl, but dead straight hair that doesn't tangle easily is now something I'm grateful to have.

Mine’s just long enough to tie back too. I only need to think about it/get a haircut when it grows too thick.

brain is buzzed, tired and stuck all at the same time

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

That sounds like a description of my brain every time I sit down to work on an assignment. I often find a walk helps, a solution Mr Woof is always very happy to help with.
