    P’s dropped in from their travels to Noosa and gave me 3 t-shirts.

    They all say “I LOVE Noosa”

    I’ve never been (or intend to go) to noosa.

        Noosa seems like an odd place for a Victorian to go as a sole destination, too. I know nothing of it, so maybe it’s actually really nice and a common tourist desto or something. But just poking around on the maps, the only reason I can come up for someone to go there is they wanted to go to the sunshine coast but either got lost on the way there, or more likely wanted to be unique and quirky so they drove 10 minutes down the road to Noosa insteax

    So how long is a warranty on something like headphones? I need to go to jb hifi to return some but it’s been almost a year or a bit longer.

    Can’t seem to find the info anywhere. I’m probably googling the wrong thing.

    Here I am StudSpud the Starchy
    The poetic potato aficionado
    But in real life I’m actually partly
    Just your average f5 tornado

    I don’t look like an actual potato
    I’m not a hot-as-fuck stud
    I’m just a long dormant volcano
    And now I’m certainly not a chud

    I couldn’t get to sleep last night. Melatonin was no help. I was so tired I couldn’t open my eyes, but I just couldn’t sleep.

    Then when I did get to sleep, I had another bad dream. This one didn’t involve death like the last few, but I got really angry in my dream and broke everything in my path and hurt a lot of people. I hate those kinds of dreams, because they feel so realistic while I’m in them and then about half way through the dream I realise I’ve mega screwed up and then end up dealing with the fallout while I’m still dreaming. And then after I wake up it’s a combination of relief that I’m not rotting away in a dingey jail cell somewhere, but also terrifying because it makes me wonder if I am actually capable of hurting people irl

    And then after I woke up I realised I’d slept in until 1pm. But in my defence, the watch tells me I was tossing and turning until 5:30

      sounds a bit like some stress from all the recent events you’ve endured

      all perfectly normal, you’ll be fine, just talk to your counsellor

      so many hugs 🫂🫂🫂

      Yep. Like Goonsey said it is normal but that doesn’t mean it’s nice. My brain dredges up all sorts of stuff when I sleep. Over the years I have kinda learned to deal with it and even appreciate it a bit - It’s my brain processing all the stuff and filing it where it needs to go.

      One thing I find really helpful is to just lay there for a bit when I wake up, with my eyes closed think about what I am feeling inside (is there somewhere hurting? Stressed?) and to think back on what I dreamt. Kinda say thanks brain for processing and remind myself it was a dream and I am safe now. And to then think about where I am in details - what do the sheets feel like, what can I hear, that sort of thing. Just breathe in that in between space and basically put down the night stuff so I can go into the day clean. Or at worst, cut myself some slack because it was a rough night.

      Everyone has their own thing - just sharing my little process in case it helps.

    I’m so frustrated about my health and living situation. I was never hugely sporty but did like to be somewhat active like walking and tai chi and would love the energy/chance to garden. I’d love to be exercising and prepping good meals.

    Even just getting away from the toxic elements of where I live would be amazing.

    Found out recently Windows can control backlight brightness on most external monitors, it’s just not a feature it wants to implement natively. Twinkle Tray does the trick nicely though!

    I’m feeling depressed as hell. Internet Archive lost a copyright lawsuit and rare books or resources that could be unavailable in any other way might be lost.

    I have to go to eBay or Amazon for even a hope of finding some classic art books secondhand and even then a used copy could be $50, $70, $100 plus. If I can even find it.

    Just watched the new series of “Only Murders in the Building”. It’s such a terrific show, very entertaining.

    Got a phishing message impersonating auspost coming from the democratic republic of the Congo

    Found it funny because when something that seems like it should be Australian wasn’t, my mum would always say something like “what do you mean the milk is only 93% Australian? Where’s the rest of it coming from? The bloody Congo?”

    I also had one come from Yemen a few weeks ago. That was a funny one.

    Anywho I cracked into my study today. I’ve got the knowledge to complete my first assessment now, I’m about 75% done, probably got about an hour left on it. I don’t know about the others because I haven’t started them yet, but I’ve got another 3 weeks to do those. Although we start on the next unit tomorrow, so I don’t want to get left behind. They look to be longer than the first one, and one of them is a case study, the other a research report. So the one I’m working on now is probably the easiest of the lot (just basic written questions)

    One 10% assignment done. Now to do a 20% one today, then the 40% ones due this week and the week after. Not even worrying about the ones after that yet. I feel like I’m making a tiny bit of progress.
