Ted n me went on an adventure to the park. He found sitting down to be easiest. He loved looking at all the birds tho some did not like him, he sniffed the sniffs and watched ducks swimming and people and cars on the busy streets but he was glad to be home and sat up once we got back to our little courtyard
20I demand photos of the bum biter in his stroller.
14Reminder that https://aussie.zone/c/gardeningaustralia and https://aussie.zone/c/frugal exist.
I’m trying to keep them alive and attract more activity, keep Lemmy active
9So the results are.. nothing 😒No Buruli Ulcer but no anything else either. Doctor wants to just hand ball me to specialist. I showed him pictures I'd taken and said is it likely to be a form of Pityriasis. He agreed it could be, but said he wouldn't like to guess. Funny, he didn't mind guessing it was Impetigo and had me take antibiotics for a week while I was petrified I had an infectious disease. I said seeing as I've been using cortisone on it and it's helping, can I get a script for more (I'm using miniest's tube and it's almost ran out) and he ummed and ahhed about that and said that because he wasn't sure what it was he didn't really want to prescribe anything. As for the specialist, $365 is absolutely no dice. It's just not doable. It's already cost me a day's pay for this.
10Frustrating experience today with being led astray with google maps. Ended up driving and wasting so much time this afternoon through so much roadworks.
Might have been easier to pay for postage next time considering the petrol wasted.
Well at least I’m finally home and can see if my new wares fit else it’s a return trip back there this weekend.
8So, Thom Yorke was amazing. I chatted to the person next to me... Quite young looking woman, asked her if she'd seen Radiohead before, no first time. Told her I'd seen them in 97. Wow, that was before they got big. my dad went to that tour, that's where I got this shirt That show was 27 years ago... I was very likely at least double her age. I don't know whether I should feel old as time itself or that I should assume it's because of Radiohead being a timeless band and all that.... Second one right?
10Anyone else noticed generic brands being out of stock a lot at Colesworths?
First the generic peanut butter was out of stock for quite a long time, the generic paper cat litter is still unavailable, now it’s the decaf instant coffee and cocoa powder. And the prices are still a gouge.
If it was more possible for me I’d be predominately shopping at Aldi
7Day off for uni, working from home, trying not to have a total wobble over feeling like maybe this was all a mistake. I'm in too deep now! But as I get older I certainly find myself craving security over novelty and excitement. Kinda sad because I feel like I am shrinking as a person. It's not too late to claw back a sense of wonder and discovery though.
9Went to see psych today and they said how I've been masking and it's understandable that I don't know who I am. Literally on session 10. We've done a heap of case formulation, now to finally using the skills.
6Why does life have to be so difficult…
The irony is that if it weren’t for a few huge things I don’t have control over, I could be happy and satisfied with the life I have.
7The thought of my baby nephew having to go through even a fraction of the challenges I've had to live through in this sick world just breaks my fucking heart.
The thought of that sweet innocent child exposed to any of the dangers I've had to face makes me die inside.
And unfortunately I'm still living through those same dangers and trying to stay alive myself. So if and when he faces those dangers I'm not sure what resources I have to help him, since I apparently don't have the answers.
I think I've only got prayers left at this point.
The one thing I can do if I die is at least leave him what I have in a will.
6Wasn't able to do my first aid class last week, but was put into the other class for it this week. In class today and tomorrow so I have to catch up on the theory classes tomorrow, over the weekend.
Very appreciative that they could slot me into this one, so I don't have to pay out of pocket for a private one lol.
And there's nothing more I love than going to campus when it's spring. Thankful my animal course is at the same place they do horticulture. Wandering around the greenhouses and the grounds with all the beautiful plants and flowers, really improves my mental health. So many butterflies, bugs, flowers, buds, the smell of spring. It's just a magical place when it's sunny.
6Plex migration update: Gave up on Debian, installed Mint. Mint installed great, more options in the GUI this looks promising. It wants an update, no worries go for, reboot aaaaaand it no longer boots. You have got to be shitting me linux. Installed windows, replaced plex files and looks to have completely failed. Gave up in frustration and went to bed.
7Halloween Movie review. 🪄🧹 😈
Warlock . I rewatched again, this is such an enjoyable cheesy halloween movie. The costuming, the old english speech and the way all the actors play it real make this much better than you would expect from such a low budget movie
4 witchy hobbits
The Omen. Also played for reals by good actors. Genuinely scary .
4 devilish hobbits
4Woke up roughly two hours before I meant to. Goddamnit Dragon Age just fucking release so I can sleep normally again
7So i found out that baileys whipped cream is a commercial thing.
Need. neeeeeed
3Anyone else bank with ME? Have recently been moved over from ME "classic" to ME Go. It seems to have replaced one buggy app with another buggy app with slightly more features, and the local call centre with a chat+call centre overseas.
It's not really a problem if you rarely need to get in touch with your bank, but if there ever is a problem (which there have been a couple) you can expect to wait 30+ minutes for someone to answer. I guess the fact their interest rates are the best on the market makes up for it?
4we need some triumph the insult dog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yN0Pru9fNQ
3Reminder tonight is the last night for watching The Hobbit on Amazon. They are charming movies, I really do recommend them. 🧝🧙♂️🐲
