    I’m stuffed being out late arvo/evening, saw a movie with some of my favourite people! I have much to ponder, the movie was extremely awesome and thought-provoking!

    I have a big day with the fam tomorrow in the SE. Gonna give dad those photos for him to scan with his scanner. He was stoked! He just forgot to reply and I so overreacted 😅 so it will be good to try and date the photos with him, based on my age, and location!

    Got the storage wall of the garage twintrack up yesterday, today was moving the bench we salvaged from the laundry, putting the doors back on and stocking tools.

    Was. I very rapidly realised i was hot, pissed off and very very overloaded. So i went full ASD and grabbed my giant crate of screw packets and tubs and sorted sorted sorted while blasting DS9 in the lounge. Did i wash my hands way more than i “should”? Yes, but fuck should, today was about pandering to me.

    And now it is brie and fat cats and ds9 s4. So there

    I keep refreshing the BOM app thinking 29.3C at 11pm must be an error :| fuck me. So grateful for air-conditioning.

    Really glad I took a break from fieldwork today, just chilling at home all day - although I’ll have to go out during midday again tomorrow - and then a full day of work fieldwork on Tues and Wed 🥵

      It was pumping yesterday too. I think everyone’s soaking up the last of the late night summer vibes. And maybe some people don’t have aircon in which case I totally understand.

        First one I played was like a dragon. Did 0 decently, finished Kiwami and infinite wealth (so good)

        Not sure if I can manage all the old ones.

        My son played them all and digs them.

        I’m a huge fan of the main characters.

        Got a soft spot for Ichiban

    Depressed/struggling

    I am really struggling. I have a sink full of half washed dishes and am unable to complete (or really start) anything of any kind of hobby.

    The idiots online are outweighing the couple of chill friends I have and one of them has actually got fed up and dipped, deleting a lot of their posts. IRL I’m surrounded by unstable dipshits. I no longer have the energy to draw.

    Medication doesn’t help me (resistant) so all I can really do is keep pointlessly slogging on.

      Getting back to yourself after depression or being knocked for a loop takes time. Remember: you can just stop anything you start, whenever and pick up whenever. Yes, even halfway through.

        I don’t think there will be a ‘back’. I’ve tried everything for decades and nothing has worked. Just some days I can white knuckle it more convincingly than others. That’s all.

      Do the dishes tomorrow. They can wait.

      Log off and ignore the stupids. It’s hard but worth it.

      Give melbcat a hug.

      Give yourself a hug.

      Find something comforting to watch or listen to and just sail of mentally.

      You got this.

        Thanks. I’m just plowing through them quickly so I can have clean dishes (cutlery went in the machine because no way) and will be buying more disposables.

        The problem is logging off from the stupids leaves me with emptiness and the extra special stupids irl.

        I’m feeding and medicating Melbcat and will probably have to just Restavit the crap out of myself tonight to get some sleep.

          The emptiness can be filled. Just need other distractions. It’s not easy for sure.

          So what’s best for yourself.

          We appreciate you.

    Hambam has had enough.

    Took him to the dog park at 9am so not hot it’s now 3pm and he’s been in this state since we got back trying to find new patches of cold floor. Threw 3 balls chased them well enough, then he wandered off chasing another dog so had to go get him, twice (he doesn’t care if you call him back, just in his own world). All up about a 3km walk. Intensity of the walk out of 10 would be a 1.

    I love him.

    He’s hopeless.

    He gets a lot of compliments.

    But he’s hopeless.

    Heart of gold so he deserves a good life.

      It makes me sad how much it shrinks the closer it gets to the bay 😭 but I’ll be grateful nonetheless.

      It’s oppressive tonight! Help, help! I’m being oppressed!

    Cherry tart update: The tart was transported in the tin, and was also successfully removed and held up well to being sliced. It was very yummy, my sister and I split the leftovers. I just had another piece as a pre-brdtime snack.

    Finally found a gap in the packing/unpacking/cleaning schedule to redye my hair. Feel a zillion times better for not being a faded out drab! The grey eyebrow bits still have much to answer for.

      that one time i decided to dye my eyebrows at the same time, just a gentle smear of dye , right?

      half an hour later I looked like groucho marx

      after I finished my hair I got to work on forehead and eyebrows, I got it all off but it was so red from all the rubbing ( stop laughing ), was so embarrassed to go out

      i just pencil them in now

        If you ever do decide to tint them again, the 1000 hour one has worked well imo. I’ve used other dyes and they all turn out way too bold.
