My partner is experiencing having mental clarity for the first time she can remember after starting a trial of meds based on a recent ADHD diagnosis. This is a good thing and I’m very happy for her.
Woohoo!!! Love hearing about mental health (and other health) improvements 😁
Mickey wishes you all a great day!
Wishing Mickey a great day too, filled with naps and snuggles!
Both looking comfy!
Went out and got a cheap laptop for TAFE. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Got a coffee for a treat as well :3
Nice Ryan reference there.
I’m gonna need you get alllllllll the way off my back about this haha
I think this is one of the best - https://youtu.be/OEaSnmf1JwY?si=dXNkSOBTs_TGGy9b
Hope you got more than just one of those shitty HP Stream’s.
It’s a HP, but not a stream, ew haha

F me, was that the name of those CHEAP shit 200 dollar ones in the electric blue back in… wanna say 2016? 2018? Man I have PTSD about those things.
Yep.
Going to bed now even though I know I probably won’t fall asleep until like 11. Bed too comfy looking I been fantasising all day about climbing back in. Will put a solid dent into my current audiobook: 11.22.63, which has been excellent so far
I saw the series with James Franco, it’s a totes awesome story 👍

I’d like to report an update…
Chook’s flight feathers have definitely grown back. He just zoomed around my head
It’s become apparent to me some of my problems at work are coming from my manager’s poor communication skills.
It’s time to move on in my own terms before that decision is made for me.
might be a strange question, but any time I figure out something about myself mental health wise its almost always a “Oh shit. Its THAT easy?” kind of thing. It always seems SO obvious in retrospect! Curious to see if anyone else has the same thing happen to them.
For example: if you’re always telling mates to take a deep breath have a sit and let things come to them, then you go and actually do it yourself and you’re like “fuck, that was the key all along?!”
@TinyBreak @Seagoon_ This probably isn’t quite what you’re looking for, but it does involve a phobia.
I’m a little scared of heights, and a lot scared of falling off ladders.
The last place I lived was an old cream-brick 1960s-ish flat. It had really high ceilings, with that “popcorn” (possibly asbestos?) texture.
I was living there by myself.
One day, the light bulb in the living room blew.
This ceiling was high — I could just barely reach it from the second- or third-top rung (and I wasn’t game to go any higher).
The light had one of those glass covers that had a screw in the middle, and then a couple of hooks on either side. After about 50-odd years, it was well and truly rusted and didn’t want to budge.
Well.
After two goes, taking around half an hour each time, I finally managed to get the bloody cover off.
Then another 30 minutes to get the old bulb out.
Then another 30 minutes to get the new globe in.
After spending around two hours — basically the best part of a Saturday afternoon — trying to change one light globe, I was done. The cover can wait for another day.
Unfortunately, a few weeks later, I got a notice that the real estate agents wanted to do an inspection. The joys of renting!
That weekend, I asked wifey to come over (we hadn’t moved in together yet) and help put the cover on.
Ladder out. Clip. Clip. Clip. Screw.
She had the cover back on in, like, two minutes, tops.
I think I might have actually said something along the lines of: “Shit — it’s that easy?”
The moral of the story?
Find a handywoman, move in with her, and get wifey to do it 😁
I know what you mean. It’s kind of an epiphany. There’s a big difference between logically knowing something, and integrating it in your life.
Exercising to increase energy levels is all that for me. I’m feeling sluggish and tired lately because I haven’t been exercising. To get more energy I’m going to have to expend some. Sounds wacky.
The whole diet and exercise thing for me, as in healthy body-healthy mind. Having to exercise in order to get energy sounds like a ridiculous contradiction until you do it and feel it.
All the time. Only realised this with diet and exercise just recently.

ok dudes, I’m off for a walk in the park and a little shopping , later 😘
Well this is fun. We have an intruder at my worksite and we’re under lockdown now.
Well I’m in my car at the moment and no one’s allowed entry I presume until they resolve this.
Depending on the nature of the worksite, that’s a pretty risky move by the intruder! My workplace is mostly occupied by menopausal women with sharp objects.
Well mine is a female dominated industry but it wasn’t that this time.
Just an update though, the situation is now resolved and we’re allowed to come back on site. Everyone is safe and ok and unharmed.

They should have taken you with them into lockdown, at least that’s the procedure for me normally at work.
In my opinion you shouldn’t have been left behind alone with that person and exposed to potential danger but I’m not sure if their protocols includes taking in patients into lockdown.
The fake audience/cheering on the triathlon is so cringe. It’s looping over and over again – the race will take nearly two hours.
I wish they’d stop talking.
Why are they using tinned audience?
Literally just for excitement reasons, they need audio for the wide shots and stretches where the crowd is a bit thinner. It does make sense – nothing wrong with sweetening the broadcast a bit – but they could use a longer loop!
I remember during covid they used it for the AFL.
To be honest I don’t know what was worse. A bad looping audio crowd with someone shouting something obnoxious that got replayed repeatedly or an empty soulless stadium.
Empty soulless was DEEPLY upsetting!!!
Welcome to the Daily Chair. All the tacks are out now, all approx 200. I’ve tidied the work area and am ready to attach the linings, the springs then the padding and covers. Yay.
I have also been buying some tapestry fabrics to make some scatter cushions, 2 big cushions for the big chairs, and two smaller ones for the dining captain chairs.
here are some of the components . I have to staple and sew it all into something resembling a functional supporting seat. There’s the wood frame, the webbing, springs, lining fabric and the cover . That grey stuff is the original kapok chair stuffing
Turning all those bits into a functional chair seems like basically witchcraft. I am very impressed.
What is a dining captain chair?
I was told that the two armchair dining chairs in a set of dining chairs were called the carver as it was the meat carvers chair. So maybe the main dining chair?
I want to be a captain meat carver so bad I can taste it
yes, the two end carvers
How did you get into this hobby? It is the most admirable.

Wow, that video. When I was a student in the 80s/90s we rented places like that in Brunswick and Carlton for $75 a week. Some places had floor collapsing or a roof with a hole in it but we didn’t care because between 4 or 5 of us the rent was so fucking cheap. Now to ask $500+ per week for a place that requires the use of a “shit stick” is fucking disgraceful. And the sheer gall of the landlord to turn up in a flash car like that smdh… in my day the landlord was an old Italian or Greek bloke who turned up in a Sigma or Datsun lol.
I don’t know why the power elite chose for Australia to be poor with bad legal protections . They could have so easily chosen to be like Norway and they themselves would have been much richer too, not just the whole country.
So it’s not money.
I think they like other people to suffer and to have no power.
I hate to say it, but I think you are right in this. After all, how do you know you’ve made it unless there are other people standing around suffering, and watching you with what you hope is envy. It isn’t envy, but something much worse.
Does Bunnings sell guillotines?
Australia has had strict gun laws since the start. The Brits learnt from America.
So the cunts know they are being cunts, I remember the first thing Kennett did when he got in power, like in the first week, was install bullet proof glass into all the main gov buildings.

Found this Maggie in our front yard just now, and I’m not sure if there’s something wrong with it or not. It’s not at all scared of us, and I got quite close (<1m) with no reaction. It’s eaten a few salada crumbs and had a drink, but does look a bit bunched, and is just staying in the yard. Is it worth calling wildlife rescue? OH thinks we should leave it and see how it goes.
Leave and see how it goes. If it’s still there tomorrow, then maybe call rescue. This is early pairing up season for maggies, so it might just have been tossed out of the parental nest/territory.
Turns out it’s missing its tail. I did end up calling and they suggested catching it and taking it to the vet, but it wasn’t having any of that and is now on the neighbour’s roof. I’ll keep an eye on it and leave food & water out. Hope it’s ok, poor thing.
