Melbourne

I just discovered that the girl at the deli last night gave me 2 kranskys but put them through as 1. Free sausaaaaaaage!!

I know I'm not built to have kids, when I see them on the train and feel a visceral disgust for them, their disrespect, and their immature brains. I'm sure they will grow up to be fine, but kids are so disrespectful on PT.

Kudos to anyone who has raised/is raising kids, but that clusterfuck ain't for me.

Edit: thinking about it, it may be due to the intense, abusive bullying I was subject to in school, and now I entirely distrust every child over 10 and under 18. Hm. Trauma is certainly pervasive in my life and affects my attitude.

New band is coming for a meet and greet on Monday! Possible gig Thursday night.

Google Photos showed me a photo of my dog eating a stick from four years ago.

Am in all-day team training, being made to watch videos

save meeeee!

Made it down the bellarine. Disco LED chilli back in the game!

I hope they enjoy those sweet sweet 300w cheapo aliexpress fire hazard rays.

I have had two friends recently get into accidents where they were going through a roundabout and someone did not give way and slammed out into them - one on a bike and one in a car with family. I really think we are not ok out there, just go carefully and watch out.

Edit-all involved are now doing ok.

Ugh, between Protest and Weather and this time of day, this is definitely one time I wish the flight was delayed... ETA right now is that I'll get there just in time for boarding. Breathe deeply...

E: it was in fact delayed but I also got there in the nick of time anyway. I'm going to nap. I'm so wound up and tense!! zzz

made a.... I dunno what your call it. One Pot? Veg and meat curry? Ratatouille? Whatever, made a thing last night. Not a huge veg guy, but cause it was all mixed in with some chorizo and chicken it was amazing. Woke up still thinking about it this morning. Didn't even follow a recipe, just took some inspiration from a YouTube video and made some changes.

Hooray for nice dreams.

Had plans to do some tidying and sorting since my morning client cancelled but I'm tired from a busy two days and the cats clearly want to nap on me.
Who am I to deny them?
EDIT: Aaaand just like that they got up.

The sky is making crunchy noises. Glad I'm in here and not out there

It's comical to me that they held a weapons expo in Melbourne of all places, the protest capital of Australia.

Guys, I had a brainwave. I have leftover roast lamb so I'm gonna make roast lamb banh mis using long tiger rolls for tea. It's gonna be awesome.

I don't have para social relationships with celebrities, I just really enjoy reading about their shenanigans and weirdness. They're humans too, elevated on pedestals, and it's interesting to see what humans do when they are so rich and famous.

This whole David Grohl cheating scandal is delicious. People who elevated him to the position of "one of the good ones" (alongside Keanu and Pierce Brosnan, maybe Jack Black too), are losing their minds that he not only cheated, but now has a baby on the way with the other woman.

People are taking bets on how old the other woman is, with the running theory she's in her early-mid 20s.

It's just so entertaining to me. No one is so good, or will always be so good, not will they always remain bad. They're humans trying to navigate having their lives out in the open, with every minute action critised or admonished.

Anyway, I'm all here for the juicy drama. If I had to place a bet, I reckon the other woman is 25. David is 55, prime time for a midlife crisis and to try and wet his dick with someone younger.

Vacuumed during my lunch break, that was very satisfying. Feel a lot better about coming home to a less chaotic scene. Now to just clear the most urgent work stuff, pack away leftover lunch, put rubbish out, wash dishes, deep water balcony plants, shower, final pack, find that fucking black puffer vest that's been eluding me for 3 days straight... weather where I'm going is all 18°C feels like 13°C, I need the thing! Chugging so much green tea to get me through.

Seems like 14 hours of sleep between naps and a full night is what my body needed.

Feeling much better today, but still hating on grubby sick people on public transport.

Thankfully it's WFH for the rest of the week.

The NQR in box hill has four-packs of t2 canned iced tea for $2.5 for any tea enjoyers. They're near the front.

had a crack at that sausage roll roll for lunch (that's a sausage roll on a bread roll for those playing at home). Honestly? not bad! I only had 3 sausage rolls left over from kiddos dinner last night, and it was a great way to pad them out a bit.

Getting hail here in Richmond. All Hail Richmond!

The trades left my place around 2pm, sent me their invoice then, 3 hours later I get a message “hi just checking you received my invoice?” as to prompt me to pay now. Are you serious? I get a whole 3 hours before a follow up?

Sodding Amazon misdelivered my pakidge - looks like they just dropped it at the nearest unit doorway, despite mine being one unit down and opposite and very clearly labelled. And of course it was the one doorstep I missed on the recce before I had to pick up the papou.
Bang go any thoughts of me getting Amazon Prime if that's the standard of service I can expect in this neck of the woods.
