Pretty bleah fieldwork out west with awful dust, and the woooorst traffic. I think I need to make sure I leave that part of town by 3pm so I'm not stuck tearing my hair out on the M1 (even paying a princely $7+ to go through the tunnel is aggravating)

I feel so mad. I'd treat myself to a pizza but I've already had a takeaway spinach roll for breakfast and a servo sanga for lunch. No more reckless spending, it's pasta with broccoli, celery, peas and vegan chorizo for dinner tonight (easy to make!)

Dishwasher people have contacted some service agent who's then supposed to get in touch with me in 2-3 days. I don't know how long I'll be without a dishwasher for. Still disproportionately frustrated about it.

Grateful at least for chilled coconut water to calm down with...

E: after a buttload of garlic, I am sated

I reckon toll roads should have an SLA where if it takes over a certain length of time due to traffic or incident, you get a refund.

I'm just glad I don't live in Sydney where toll roads are almost essential/unavoidable now unless you have an extra hour to spare.
