    My parents were saying they took a mystery flight interstate back in the day. They ended up in Sydney, but still, it seems like they lived quite a bit back in the day. My mum hasn’t been outside of Victoria in over ten years and says she’s used to having no holidays. I wish I could surprise them with a holiday.

      Reminds me of when my grandmother visited Ireland for the last time, she knew it would be the last time due to age. She lived another 15 years.

    Finally cooked stir fry Hokies noodles and washed up. Now eating.

    Have dinner for at least 2 or 3 more days of meals all sorted.

    Pars, ham, onions, random assorted sauces and noodles = yum yum

    A mystery bag delivery has yielded assorted teas, a drill, condiments and seasonings, and a lil ukulele.

    Matches and aeroguard too, so now I wonder whether that Elon mural is still up and how much damage I could do with those two items 🤔

    Edit: oh and also I didn’t really have go stress I guess; I did the research assessment and submitted that, and then did the research and loose script for the (stupid) roleplay tomorrow.

    I’m reading The Burrow at the moment. It’s excellent but also set during Melbourne lockdown. I think there’s enough distance now for it to not take me right back there emotionally, and it’s not the focus of the book, but it’s a bit weird. Reliving the easing restrictions and density limits and all that shit.

    It also makes me want a pet rabbit.

      I don’t think I COULD read a book with that setting. In a city I didn’t know it might be different, but not Melbourne

    Good to be back down the bellarine for a bit.

    Main water leak down here fixed… but… rocked up to another leak in the shower lol. Fixed that then the laundry sink taps decided they’d join the party.

    Fixed now but honestly water wins. I concede.

    Getting in the door was back to easy mode again today - package delivery was just two footstools. I now have two fluffy pink footstools to rest my feet on. They may be a touch small for Miss Meow to use as a cat bed, but I expect her to trial them out at some point anyway.

    Too frazzled and flustered to get my promised salmon. I can’t handle any more changes of environment after psych session. I feel sensitive to every possible thing that could go wrong. I found a fix to something I urgently need to do at work. Now I’m stuck in a BSOD boot loop… Joy… the error message is CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED which sounds somewhat apt.

        It might be just me but that sounds like the name of some really bad Pornhub upload that somehow makes it all worse…

        I can’t get access to the bitlocker key for this laptop to roll back the update or do anything so I’m just gonna leave it with IT to sort out. NMP!

      Farrk I’m so sorry Kitten, that sucks balls. Totally get ya on the post-psych sensitivity ugh.

      I know it’s all nuts right now, and you’re feeling crappy, just make sure to set aside some self care time and treat yourself 💜💜 sending you my good vibes

        I think it was just like normal sensitivity that got ramped up to extra after psych (I got some good stuff off my chest but also brought up some tense stuff).

        I did have a moment of calming tf down on the drive back where I squeezed in a moment of observing my emotions with warmth “ah, there’s the wound up toy!” and it’s made a huge difference. but no more taxing the brain for tonight

        Thank you 💓 I pushed on with another hour of discomfort to resolve the urgent work issue I was gonna do on my work laptop, by doing it on my personal one instead (at least I worked out the bug and reported it so I feel a sense of closure and satisfaction).

        Now it is time for comfort food and tv show. and maybe I’ll call/message my aunt who is with my mum. My work laptop is fubar atm so I think of it as a sign from the universe to just stop.

    Saw a really bad car accident on my way home.

    It happened on Hotham street close to the Nepean highway end.

    A suv on its side all smashed up badly, I think someone was trapped inside.

    Ambos only just got there as I passed by it, police and 2 fire trucks were on the way there.

    Hope whoever is was is ok and didn’t get Injured by the accident.

      It could be a box of gold bricks, a mouse trap, 18 thousand dehydrated spinach packets…

        Gold bricks would be good. If it’s 18 thousand dehydrated spinach packets I may not be able to fit in the door, but I could possibly resell for a profit. Trying to get it to the post office for a return would be difficult.
