Melbourne

6th night without power. I’m so over it. Anxious AF.

On a train. There is an over abundance of short shiny dresses and facial glitter. Must be a Spice Girl around somewhere.

Edit: rewrote half my comment because Jesus Christ I wasn't making any sense at all

To do list for tomorrow (putting it here so I am obligated to follow-through):

• Call Tafe and finish up enrolment
• speak to GP for new BC script
• eat lunch (important!!)
• play with/nap with cat

Some sad news. A neighbour found the corpse of Mr Magpie. He and Mrs Magpie lived in the big gum tree in the roundabout at the end of the street and raised several families there. Presumably the hot windy day last week knocked him off his perch.
However, in slightly more cheerful news, Mrs Magpie fronted up for feeding time at another neighbour's place this morning, bringing another Mrs Magpie with her. Very very Thornbury.

I'm out adventuring and listening to my audiobook. Embrace the majesty of the mighty vanilla slice. Also, this is the very first photo I've taken with this new phone (loaned from Microsoft).

Rightio.
Shopping is done. House is clean from top to bottom. Washing is done. Cat is brushed and fed.

Time for some reading in bed, and Mass Effect 3 later on.

I forget how great I feel when the house is spotless. Feels so peaceful.

Making myself throw out all my pc part boxes, I don't know why my lizard brain is so obsessed with keeping them all. Have also organised all my little screws, cables, and whatnots into labelled parts tubs.

It’s been sometime since I was in a bar with carpet quite this sticky 😝

just woken up from impromptu nap

I must have been tired

So many Taylor Swift fans, the tram was packed as. Wtf. A group of them looked at me and laughed? I'm not in HS anymore, their giggles mean nothing lol

I am so sick of my toxic boss. I just want to quit my job but i'm not having much luck on the job hunting front. I feel so trapped and I don't know what to do. maybe i should just off myself. honestly feels like the only way out at the moment after months of trying to find something else.

Well, it wouldn't be a train trip if I didn't get abused by someone at least once. I'm not sure what he was going on about, all I caught was him calling me fat or some variation of that about a dozen times and then screaming at me about white people and slavery. Not sure what I did exactly, I was just crossing the road and he started yelling at me. When I ignored him enough he started going off on the next closest people who seemed to be copping it harder than I did

The tram is about to come so I assume he's about to leave, buuut for now I'm holed up in the corner of a KFC, which probably wouldn't make him very happy

Two stunning afternoons up in the hills and watched a House episode where a guy had his hand amputated.

Man, I have never been more grateful for my hands. Like I felt so so so unbelievably overwhelmed with gratitude it was kind of surreal.

Hope everyone has had an awesome weekend!

Back from the other side of the city. As soon as I was on Chapel St waiting for tram, some middle aged lady asked me from a ciggie. Every time I'm there, which isn't often, I get asked for a smoke without fail.

Every street and suburb in Melbourne has a culture; I love this city.

I have been relatively pain free all day and unsurprisingly spent most of it sleeping

I have decided to try cutting out caffeine for a while. I've been reducing my intake for a couple of weeks, with the intention that after today I will not have any more. The temptation to have another coffee is very real.

I've asked the man to keep it down out there while he mows because I'm about to have a nap. AITA.

Question?

Are there screaming meth addicts in the middle class and posh suburbs too?

Boa noite.

Mildly peeved that the bus driver blew right past the stop I was at, ignoring everyone who was waiting there. Had to wait half an hour for the next one.

But got some fudge, and found out that the brand I usually get shut up shop some months ago.

It's been one of those ripple days, where everything seems to be going up and down all at once.

Also anyone know any good place to look into getting a second hand bike (and a good place to ride in)? My current one is a bit knackered, and wondering whether it was worthwhile fixing it, or just replacing it completely.

I'm familiar with the bike shed at Ceres, but that's about it.
