    An old mate is coming to stay for a couple of weeks in December!!!

    I’ve known him about 20 years. We spent some crazy years in Brunswick sharehouses in the early 2000’s doing some hectic things lol

    He’s one of those friends that I only see every few years, but we pick up where we left off.

    He’s actually been a good influence in my life, even in those crazy days. He taught me rock climbing which has been great fun, how to ride a motorbike, took me camping for the first time and taught me all that stuff. He’s an absolute legend!

    Fucking stoked to see him!!!

    Driving home tonight with the sun setting, sunroof and windows open, cruising on the highway, perfect temperature, good tunes playing, for a moment I felt at peace.

    Alright, I’m getting there. Spent the whole day carefully going through every last drawer and cupboard for stuff to donate. No time for fb marketplace although I could’ve made some decent coin off some of these - especially a couple of vintage bakeware items and an almost new vintage Corningware dish. I got em all for free so some op shop will benefit instead.

    Two carloads later, between those and the remaining plants/pots, and the big shit that won’t fit in the bin, and pillows/towels for the RSPCA - and the tables sold on FBM - that’s a lotta crap gone. Gotta love these Honda hatchbacks with Tardis-like volume and the magic seats 😀

    Now to pack the remaining stuff for the movers to take tomorrow, mainly the kitchen stuff. The end is in sight…!

        In an ideal world I would’ve spent a bit more time looking for nicer places, and maybe planned to cull over a longer period and sold more stuff online… but this is also OK! I get to focus on my uni stuff a lot sooner.

        I would aboslutely not have gotten this far without the help of friends, though.

        It’ll be a different kind of peace for sure… New digs are a lot more hectic and less calm. Main thing is I can settle in and focus on next steps without dealing with current LL’s shittiness or house hunting

        I’m definitely motivated to get to the end of this whole thing

    geebus, just got a hate letter from a neighbour in my mailbox, not against me but against my really nice Asian neighbour who does furniture making as a hobby. ( he occasionally uses power tools but not often, maybe a few times a week and only for a few minutes ) Coward didn’t even sign their name. Hate letter that didn’t sign their name or implicitly asked for specific action, just did rumour mongering and appeals to self interest.

        I sniggered when they mentioned they had gone to the police but the police did nothing!!

        Of course they didn’t you racist fuck, the neighbour is doing nothing wrong or illegal.

          I’ve had a neighbour try to report me to the police for having long grass/messy yard.

          Bish, I’m disabled and you’re the reason I’ve been too scared to go out there to fix it

          Bonus: They hung over a high fence to take the pictures so it’s not like they would even see it unless trying to

      My old next door neighbour who was elderly and had way too much time on her hands im pretty sure left me multiple letters in my letterbox while she was living there.

      I remember getting one telling me to turn down my tv/movie volume at night and telling me to mow the lawn.

      Of course none of them were signed either but you could tell it just had to be her.

      Not sure what’s worse. The notes in the letterbox or the passive aggressiveness of you meet face to face.

      Glad she eventually moved out when she couldn’t look after herself anymore.

        Huh. Back in my Brunswick E. days, I had the TV too loud one night and my neighbors politely asked me to turn it down. Which, of course I did. Because we are all grown-ups.

        I never had the note experience. I think I’d just chuck it and ignore it. I honestly don’t know what I’d do with it. “What is this high school shit?”

      Ugh, crazy/malicious neighbours are the worst. Be careful and avoid that one as they tend to target multiple people.

      Especially if they try to get you to join them in bullying someone else but you refuse

    I didn’t exist yesterday. Today, I am drinking with my second cousin (dad’s cousin). She is a riot, and will drink us all under the table, just like her dad lol. She is one of my favourite people, and I only see her every few years when she comes down from Brisbane.

    I can’t believe I’m related to this beautiful, smart, witty woman. She is my inspiration 🙌🏼💜🙌🏼

    I don’t know what it was about this week’s episode of Fisk but it was one of the best in the whole two seasons. Fantastic penultimate episode. I’ll miss it after next week!

      I’m still catching up on that slowly. Is next week the last epsisode of the season?

      I did manage to finish OMIB season 4 and I binged all of Castlevania over the last 3 days.

      Might wind the night down with Fisk tonight.

    I feel surprisingly good today. At times there’s a bit of post birthday blues, but apparently not this year!

    Also I forgot I had a car so when I open the kitchen blinds, I was like “oh yeah! FUCK YES!”

    Ended up having a really good music sesh as well before I went to bed which felt awesome!

    Thanks again for all the birthday wishes, and support over the past year ❤️

    Edit: Fluffy and I are going to laze around today I think. No responsibility, no thinking, just rest and recreation :)
