Thanks for all the congratulations on the unit acquisition yesterday. I'm still settling into believing it's real, especially after two let-downs.
It's going to be strange not obsessively checking the real estate sites and doing the rounds of the OFIs every Saturday.
Now to continue with Operation Sort Shit and decide what to take and what to dispose of.

Off 'sick' today. I've earned it damnit.

Have a great day everyone ❤️

My haul of little tomatoes from the community garden to spice up my sandwiches.

I have an interview tomorrow oooooooaahhhhhhggg why does it have to be warm tomorrow 😭😭

Official first day of term for my Uni courses today. Time to knuckle down and get back into the studying.

Listed some old PC parts on Gumtree, the first five minutes I get the standard "I want to purchase give me your email so I can send you a phishing link" quickly followed by an account called "support" with the gumtree logo telling me I had a pending offer and to just provide my email.

This was then followed up with a second "support" account trying a different scam, and one person doing the "I will send a courier" bit.

Gumtree is so shit.

TIL about "sad beige moms". People so obsessed with image they turn their whole world beige ( and grey blue ) , including the world of their kids.

When writing a report if you need the word sixthly switch to bullet points!

A young brushtail just tried to have a go at Mr Woof through the glass of the back door! It was full on banging on the outside of the door right in front of him. Mr Woof is now outside doing a full security patrol while Miss Meow supervises from inside.

I must have been snoring, Ted jumped on my tummy while I was asleep, I got a terrible shock. 😴😮

Alrighty. Halfway through preparation for interview on Wednesday. Shame it's going to be 37 degrees so I'll be ubering instead of PT so I'm not a sweaty mess.

That aside, if anyone has a ps5 controller with stick drift, push the analogue sticks down for 10 seconds, then turn clockwise for 10 seconds and again counter clockwise for 10 seconds.

It actually works and saved me 100 bucks

I'm going to Aldi. What coffee beans should I get for my plunger?

If it helps I like strong cappuccinos and I use the #13 calabrese pods for my Aldi pod machine because the #14 intensio is disgusting.

My neighbour, the Sax Man, is practicing, and another neighbour is watching The Office.

Such a strange mix of sounds lol

woke up with the opening theme of To Kill a Mockingbird in my head

Brunny to Port Melbourne to Prahran to Brunny.

I'm le tired 🚀

Edit: because I referenced it, here is the first video I ever saw on the internet. Iirc I saw it on ebaumsworld and have been saying "but I'm le tired" for over a decade now

End of the World

When I look at the dating pool I think yup this is why I'm still single and I just don't have the energy for it anymore.

I guess a lot of straights feel the same, even if statistically the odds are more in their favour overall.

Hey all. Need some opinions on what I should do.

So today my health insurance policy got canceled automatically, which I didn’t know could happen, due to my payments lapsing.

I have 2 options, I can resume my old policy if I’m able to make a big enough or full payment (which I may not be able to meet).

2nd option is to take out a new policy within the next month.

There’s obviously differences between my old policy and the new policy depending on what I pick for extras and whatnot but I’m not sure what I’m losing out on and how much difference the limit are.

If I retain my old policy it could really strain my finances for awhile and if I’m able to do it at all.

If I don’t I won’t have to pay for the period I wasn’t covered and I’d be on a new plan and have to restart waiting periods.

In my life time I’ve only claimed on dental, optical and some prescription meds but not much else if that helps.

Happy to take some opinions about this, I have some time to deal with this, by end of next week.

Yep, just found the most expensive coffees in Athens airport. €11.80 for two oat lattes…

Just looked at the forecast. I have to pick my bike from bicycle hospital on my way home. I will melt, I think.
