    Oooh competitive goonsy. You beat me, although you were 5 seconds early and posted this yesterday 😛

    Anyways, today (after 3am) is the steam “summer” sale! Time to buy games I won’t play for 6 months :D

      My sale was not very productive. I only got 3 games because I decided to buy cities skylines 2, which was only 10% off and still going for 62 bucks.

      Also I don’t actually have enough space to install any of them because I left my hard drive at home

      I’ll just try to finish off my wishlist. I’m terrible at actually buying games.

      I get an email that a game I wishlisted is on sale and I just go, ‘that’s great, good for them’ and never actually buy it

            As the time of posting was 5 seconds early this seems to indicate that it took about 4 seconds from when you posted it until when it was actually done. So you might need to post at 11:59:56 to get an exact midnight posting. More investigations may be required to confirm.

    Weird nightmare crew represent 🙌🏻🦠🧞‍♀️💍🩺💥

    typed it out then realised it was kinda gross

    I dreamt I had weird creatures/fungus/organisms all under my skin. It started with weird ant things coming out of my belly button the it was everything from giant green amoebas to insect type things to fungi. And one giant long thing up one leg that was a tracking device.

    Took forever to get to a doctor but he was helping me get them out. Then there was some guy chasing me oh and I had to get to a wedding.

    I am bloody exhausted. Off to check my whole body for weird pimples…(Shudder)……

      I had a weird nightmare but I forgot it.

      The other night I also had a weird nightmare involving zombies, a woodchipper, and a large and sturdy plate glass window.

    Auditing my take away coffee cops since I can get a discount if I use it, people seem to be accepting them again and lets face it tinyest is FAR more likely to get me crook anyway. Turns out I need 2 lids and 2 rubber bands. A new glass one is 30 something bucks, so wanna assume what the lids and bands cost? Yep. 50 bucks. Far out. So much for environmentally friendly. Mrs swears she has seen them in op shops but I never have, can anyone confirm? Or did anyone find a cheaper way to get replacement parts?

    On the way to school my daughter came across a flock of little corellas. Of course she took snaps. I think they made her day. It’s also the last day of term so it’s double happiness ☺

      A couple of years ago I passed a flock of little corellas feeding on the grass at Latrobe Uni - they were eating bullants. Wtf? Only creature I’ve EVER seen eating bullants.

    A bit of a setback for Elder this morning. The welfare person at his school suggested we try next term for three morning sessions a week in class for an hour each time. When I mentioned it to Elder he had a meltdown, couldn’t sleep and now isn’t going to this morning’s meeting at all 😟😔 It seems like a bit of a leap from where he is now, and I only told him what it might look like and I didn’t push, but I guess it’s my fault and I feel like I’ve set him back by even mentioning it. His therapist actually suggested that online virtual schools might be the solution for now because he’s missed the whole first year of highschool up to this point, but the problem with that is Mr P is dyslexic and is not au fait with internet and tech and I have work, so there’d be nobody at home in a position to support him. I’m going to talk to my boss about more flexible hours (the financial planner in my head says, “but we need the money dammit!”), but I’m not optimistic as it is a factory job after all. Virtual Schools Victoria, aside from when the classes are held via video conferencing, are actually very flexible in their scheduling. Going to work now with all this running around in my head and had to put it somewhere 🤯😵‍💫

    Watched some of The Piano Teacher last night. I remember catching a scene from it on SBS years ago and I always wondered what the movie was.

    There should be Steam life achievements for figuring out things like this

    Gratitude thread!

    Today I’m seeing my friend who I haven’t seen in six months (she lives in Sydney) and she’s going to surprise another one of my friends :)

    Also I was greeted by the doggo when I woke up this morning, which is a rare occurrence. I believe he sees me as lower than him on the food chain hahaha

      He’s also wondering if you’ll whip out a snack from somewhere cos he’s been a good boy.

      I’m cooking Korean fried chicken today so I’ll be grateful if they turn out good.

      Have a great day with your friends! ♥

      I am grateful for rest and being old and smart enough to occasionally take time out. It’s been an emotional and tiring couple of weeks (visiting family is great but there’s always some grief waiting) but I taking a couple of days before I head back to work and I really needed it. Just exercise, rest, nature time.

      I’m grateful for, once again, my cat.

      For the Monash Legal Clinic in assisting me to get that 9 year shoplifting charge off my record once and for all.

      And for the fact that I’ve been able to get some interview experience this week. (Also have possible interviews next week as well).

    That thread on the melbourne sub about the guy who had the mattresses dumped in his yard really makes me mad that the EPA, Council or Police won’t do anything about it. They’re just letting a scummy business owner get away with it.

    Installing a little outdoor handrail for the p’s today. Just 5 steps.

    Safe to say I have no idea what I’m doing.

    I have watched the youchoobs though so with any luck they won’t fall down.

    Whenever I plug something into the usb charger thingy, it reminds me of a conversation I had with my husband.

    Me: Um, it’s Flashing! panicked voice
    Him: It’s ok. They’re just talking to each other. What do you think is going to happen, blow up?
    Me: Yes. Flashing means danger!

    In all fairness to me, he has cautioned me about plugging things into the right chargers. Something about volts or something. I don’t know. I don’t always listen.

    I usually just ask “do I use my phone charger, my watch charger or the blue flashy one”.

    Got the nerves a bit today waiting for a call about the job from Tuesday.

    Trying to distract myself pretty much.

    Fingers crossed 🤞🏾

    Edit: A sent them an email to “touch base”. Better to rip the band aid off in one go I think.
