    I suppose Happy Anniversary aussie.zone is in order. Our mates over the Tasman had theirs a week ago, and they had a cool post of all the exciting stuff that happened in the year. I don’t remember anything, though.

    So you guys feel free to reminisce about the neat stuff you’ve seen on Lemmy over the past year and I’ll happily be reminded of all the stuff I’ve forgotten.

      Happy anniversary! Thanks for all the background work you and lodion do to keep our little corner of the web alive.

      I’s surprised to see this post on Melbs daily chat, but it makes a lot of sense, being the biggest spot for a shindig on aussie.zone! :)

        You’re right - I probably should make it a post in Meta or something. At 1am though, I was on my way to bed. I couldn’t think of anything to really justify as a post. This thread is where I usually put my little musings.

        As for the work, I don’t think either of us would say we do all that much. I sure don’t. I respond to reports, clean up spam and vet the new applications, hoping to keep spammers and bots away. Maybe 10-15 minutes a day, often less.

        Otherwise I use Lemmy like anyone else.

    It was so fucking nice to get out of the house on a weekend!

    And now I have a new friend and someone to go out and see gigs with!

    Maybe my luck really is starting to turn around.

    I made a hot chocolate for my daughter because she’s studying and I realised I’ve never actually made a hot chocolate before so I winged it. Completed the job with marshmallows on the side.

        1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and a bit of sugar dissolved in some boiling water. Topped it up with milk and microwaved it for 1 minute.

      It will be warm at the Tote. Also, the Raffles on the opposite side of Johnson St from the Tote does a very nice and very cheap feed. I particularly like their Hainanese chicken, but I’ve not had a bad dish there yet. Maybe get some to take home for Gibson? Then she may forgive you for ABANDONING her. In the COLD SNOW. But then, cats …

      I had the heater on for a bit so I wouldn’t freeze while I was doing work.

      Waiting for it to cool down but I’m close to donning the oodie as well.

    Alright I’ve been back for about 24 hours now so it’s time to start whinging. It’s not even the cold that’s getting me down (this alpaca woollen jumper is almost too warm), IT’S THE GREY. IT’S 1PM AND I’VE HAD MY LIGHTS ON ALL DAY. So bleak outside. Give me back my sun!

    I have a bunch of chores to do like packing away all my summer items, moving pots back to my (fixed) balcony and tidying up the thoroughly messy carport, heaps of laundry, changing bedsheets, washing the bird poop off my car from just before I left (bad timing, it’s been on the car for 2.5 weeks now)…

    Looking at the weather I think I can put it all off to Monday. And so I shall. I deserve a day of doing nothing (but maybe I’ll get the car washed today and do a bit of laundry). (and sort out the presents.)

      Just to add as well one of the worst things is the price.

      Asian grocery store sells their stuff cheaper per 5 pack and actually weigh more per unit.

      65g per noodle pack is highway robbery.

        Everyone keeps saying this, but I’m yet to find a decent Asian grocer like this. We don’t have Asian grocers in my suburb, just Indian grocers and they are very different.

    Mickey, I see your tail peeking out from the doorway,
    Mickey, I see your face from the corners of my hallway,
    Stalking me down the corridors of my home
    You’re freaking me out, waiting to get me alone

    You hunt me down like a mouse,
    You think it’s real neat
    When you pounce around my house
    And swipe at my feet

    Mickey, I see you crouched underneath my desk,
    Mickey, I see you hunched like a household pest
    You’re freaking me out, waiting to get me alone
    Stalking me down the corridors of my home

      Oh bacon I’m sad to hear that but I am glad it was just soft drink. I hope the day gets better for you.

      A few weeks ago I used the public restroom and the stupid tap was so ferocious it spashed water on my top. Looked like I had dribbled on myself so I stuck my boobs under the hand dryer and someone walked in while I was shaking them.

        Could be worse. Our soap dispenser at work tends to clog a bit, sending ropes of white slimy goo flying in random directions, often ending up on your top (or once onto the top of the person next to me!).

          I once had an accident with a bottle of moisturiser in the hallway. The result was highly suspicious looking, but smelt better than that sort pf party.

    I skipped dinner last night so I could get an early night. I did manage 9.5 hours, but starting the trip off with 4ish has absolutely screwed me over. I’m still really tired ☹️

    Dinner tonight is a very upmarket smoked salmon, leek & potato quiche from the ARC cafe. Piedmontes had them on special. I had a portion yesterday - tonight I will nom the remainder. Seriously yum even heated up in the air fryer. If you see these, check them out - good enough to pretend you made it yourself. Hoax cuisine at its finest.

      I ate tuna out of a can with a fork lol.

      Bachelor chow 🐟

      The trick is, after every mouthful say outloud “oh wow this is actually pretty good!”

    I wish that I could’ve talked it out with him. Respected his need for space and realised he was ignoring me because of that, not because he didn’t love me. I wish I could’ve articulated better to him that I was panicking that week. I wish I wasn’t so nasty about it to him in the end and had a civil discussion. I wish he didn’t give up so easily and that he communicated better as well.

    I wish I was over it. People have said I should be over it by now. Everytime I go out, I get paranoid that I’ll see him or any of his people. Anyone that looks remotely like him, I get paranoid and think it’s him. I see a car like his or drive through nearby areas and think that I’ll see him. Worrying about it makes it happen twice or some quote along those lines. I want to forget.

    The past is in the past. It is what it is. There is nothing I can do to change it, even if I so desperately want to. When the logical part of my brain kicks in, I realise it’s normal to miss someone you cared about a lot, even if you don’t want them back. It just shows you cared. As for the fears, easier said than done, but I need to realise that time will help me get over it. If I do ever see him again, it might be painful, knowing that in some time, he’s going to be building a life with someone that isn’t me. On the flip side, I get to build my own life, and probably a better life than what I would build with him.

    I’ve been chatting with an online friend I made recently and even they will tell me that they’re going to be busy and actually reply to my long spiels of shit, even though I have absolutely no expectations about any of that. I didn’t even have to say anything at all. I realise now that I shouldn’t have had to ask for that much reassurance, and even though I think I would lean towards anxiously attached (in relationships), I was dealing with someone who couldn’t give me the time of day, leading to blows to my self-esteem and me overthinking.
