Thought I was going to have peaceful day and rest and relax.

Nope. All fell to pieces when my partner was given news of not a great sort.

Have run out of money and wasting on my tax return to come in, which would have been here if work didn’t screw it up.

Can’t pay for the injections she needs and now have to cop an emotional beating from her because the universe hates her and will everything it can to fuck up her life.

Edit: my tax return will come within 3 business days from yesterday from a text message from the ATO

Finally got my appetite back after things got a bit better after today.

Said screw it and went to town.

Homemade burger

Didn’t quite mail cutting the bun evenly.

Burger consisted of bacon, 2x egg, caramelised onions, tomato slices, beef patty and 2x smokey cheese slices with tomato sauce and aioli.

I am doing a terrible job of studying today. It is nice and sunny outside, so I think that I'll go and do some weeding. That will obviously help me get in the right mindset to study and is in no way another avoidance tactic.

I've just got an offer for a free month of Stan. I might have to see if there is something I want to watch.

suspicious timing on a new R/place. Also suspicious is these new Chinese propaganda ads. "People Flee the AUD" with a the CCP flag over parliament house? Disgusting.

yeah I’m not joining r/place this year

Microsoft Word turned one of my dot points red, and I have no idea why. I've just submitted the assignment with one random red dot.

Did my boring but important stuff regarding Medicare claims. Decided I needed a treat after some of the shenanigans of the week so it was a night off cooking and Red Rooster for dinner (our local one isn't too bad and I've been good with eating healthy all week and taking my lunch to work instead of buying something on the way). Mr Peeler sorted installments out for his fine, to be deducted fortnightly. He's been like a quiet little lamb and seems to be coping well without the drink. As long as there are cups of tea to be had.. tea fixes everything. I've always found that if you have a cup of tea as soon as you get home from work you don't get the urge to drink alcohol. I've got so many different types of tea that I'm almost scared to count. Ok, I will.. (goes to kitchen and counts) well shit, I counted 19 different teas. Admittedly there's some duplication; 3 are different types of green tea, 2 are dandes and about 4 of them probably count as herbal supplements, but still.. that's a lot of tea! And I'd still like to get more!

Whoo! Got my tax return today! I was going to get Pikmin 4 tomorrow after my eye test regardless of if I got the tax return, but still.

Well I've already finished work and am back at home. Don't mind this at all.

My partner is away for the night in Brisbane to see a gig with a friend. A bottle of red wine down and considering getting into the Kava that I purchased when in Fiji….

Progress has been made to a bratwurst

No tax return for me yet, but I have just sold another Marketplace item. Quite a bit of interest, so the price must be in the fair-low range. Which is good, I find it's not worth the hassle involved in trying for the maximum price, I'd rather have an easy sale than a few extra dollars.

Just want to go to sleep but I can't be half-arsed in my night shift prep now I'm no longer doing it from home.

[–] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago

Some improvement. Some
