Melbourne

Returned keys to rental that I shared with shithead today! Ordeal over.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, baby Gibson on the day we met:

Very proud Dad moment: My kid's daycare has a little kiddy pool with colour ball pit balls in them. I've been so excited for him to be old enough to go in it. After 6-ish months proud to report he is. And he was DELIGHTED, the excitement on his face was unreal. So happy for him.

Slept in, yet somehow feel like I barely slept.

Adulthood is bullshit I used to sleep 6 hours a night and wake up feeling refreshed

Power was out for 7 days - ausnet can’t even get their website working to put in a claim. Some people still have their power out, running a generator costs a fortune (despite having it off overnight)

It's now been 64 days since the Montague St bridge was fed. This is now way overdue. Just commenting.

Black cockies just swept through. She had her eye on me!

SO WARM CAN'T SLEEP

Its new NOTEBOOK day folks! Full of potential and wonder - will this be the journal that gets me organised? Will it be neat (no, it won't)? Will i actually use the index at the front ?

I don't know. But it's a pretty green.

Done my errands, been for a swim, found Watership Down (the 1970s movie) on Netflix…productive day

Shit sleep. Shit mood.

Have an interview (on line) today, so hoping I can mask my negativity for 45 minutes

Just the weather to be waiting around for my every 10 min bus that has now been 4 times that late…

spicy roast chicken is in oven, will do some spicy taters too

How I hate Melbourne housing. Genuinely debating chucking a sickie today from the lack of sleep

Have ouchy finger. Tripped and fell a few days ago and took a large chunk of skin and nail off my middle finger (why is it always that finger?). I was crossing the road where I shouldn't have been and tripped over a stupid manhole thing in the middle of the road and I am an idiot 😔.

I feel like lately it's been hotter than it ever got through the middle of summer. I don't like it. Feeling for the people who don't have power

Someone one the cptsd meme sub said this

It’s like “which layer of trauma are you talking about?” and then my whole life story comes apart like an onion

And I have never related to a sentence so hard

The grandparents are visiting and helping to mind the kids for the next two days. These little buggers are getting a bit too much to handle on their own

G’morning

Uhhhh there's an uber eats looking bag at my door for some dude called david, nobody called david lives here (and as far as I can tell, never has). No receipt on the outside of the bag and it's stapled and taped shut. Does this count as mail? Am I going to jail if I open it? I don't even know how long it's been there, I didn't hear anybody come up the stairs

Edit: I decided to open it to see if there was a receipt or a restaurant name or something, it's literally a white paper bag that says "KEBAB" in a brown paper bag. No shop name, doesn't even say if it's uber eats or door dash or whatever.

My next electricity bill is going to really hurt...

Nos da

I went for a walk at lunch. It's heating up out there. I've got in early and pulled a WFH for tomorrow - the city doesn't need one more sweaty grumpy person on public transport in high-thirties heat.
