Huh, Bowens is going up a couple of blocks away. That’s handy.

woke up with head ache
spose i better have some aspirin
Just reminded me to take something as well.
got a slight one too
Just went outside and it's not as gross as I thought. There's still time for it to heat up though
I’m having a lovely time
Here's the issue with digital music gear:
Firmware updates!!!
I saw an amp I've been dying to get on marketplace today. It's the same model as my existing (which I absolutely love) just in a head and stack config
Fucked around for ages to get it to work with the helix board and what was the issue in the end? Needed a fucking firmware update.
Updating now and hoping for the best!
Went out last night for a friend's birthday to a nightclub at her request. Got lots of comments on how short I was. I love how people are so quick to make comments about my appearance.

Thank you.
I would however like to return the 🔥, I have had far too much of that already this afternoon and would now prefer my creme sans brulee
Beer and snacks I don't have to cook please

Was thinking another beach day to round out summer but the current temp in Geelong is 23.9 whereas it’s 34.7 at Essendon Airport. That’s a wild difference.
I suppose I should clean my place today, but I don’t wanna.
The uber driver asking me where to go when he has 2 maps open doesn't exactly build a sense of trust.
In other news, found a Zoia fairly cheap on marketplace and am picking it up Monday!!!!
Eventide is still on layby and I have 3 months to pay it off, so I'll just throw a few bucks at it every pay and grab it down the track.
Cool. 🙂
ooh nice!
Missed out on some DnB / jungle music tix but the place is basically corner of flinders st. / elizabeth st. which I'm happy to avoid no loss there.
INSTEAD!
There's a free techno / breaks day park party (until 10pm) which is tempting. Just near La trobe uni. Looks like there'll be a fair few peeps going. Seems like a more sensible option. Probably a more fun crowd too.
Also just got off the phone to the ol' girl and she is really pushing hard to jump back behind the wheel again. She's been told that it's too risky by every doc she's seen, and her friends have said the same thing to her. She doesn't seem to grasp how much of a risk it is. Breaks my heart to keep telling her no.
Would it get through to her if you told her about the risks involved for others? It sounds brutal but what if she killed a child? Or hit a car with a young family inside? You and everyone else involved are absolutely correct in your stances. They say, "oh I'd be really careful." What about reaction time? I'm edging towards having this conversation with my MIL and preparing myself. They fear a loss of their independence, but there are other ways to have independence. Plus the half price taxi is really cool!
reaction time
Yep it's too poor to drive.
I hope your conversation with the MIL goes a bit more smoothly. It's a tough one.
Dude I was just thinking about you and your mum recently as my mum's cataract surgery lens thingo is coming loose and she's booked in for a surgery in 2 months time, but we're all pleading with her to go private (she has insurance that us kids pay for), and get it done faster because she lives alone and she's had a couple of small falls... not only would the lens come out and she'd need urgent surgery (assuming she stays conscious) I'm so worried about the risk of more permanent vision impairment.
Oh no your poor mum. So many unexpected things happened with mine over the last few months, defs keep trying to persaude her to do it asap. Crazy how a fall can change things so quickly and how complex things can get.
I have gymed. I think now I go to find something nice to eat
In 9 days I have packed 35 boxes. That is not too bad.
With love, I've worked with professionals packers, they'd pack a 3br house in a few hours.
I've had packers and they are def fast and if I recall my super expensive unopened golden tequila disappeared!!
also sore back and skiving

Gotta clean EVERYTHING this weekend for Tuesday rental inspection... I'll potentially procrastinate and end up taking Monday off work to do it. Already started though so that's positive. Benefits of having a small place are that it's relatively quick to clean. I will alternate between a little gaming followed by a little cleaning. Repeat until it's time for beer. Then it will be beer and gaming followed by a little cleaning.
remember to clean behind your ears
I did that exact routine minus the beer.
Procrastination helps the motivation!
What would happen if you cleaned nothing?
No idea. I have always made sure everything is clean and tidy before rental inspections
REA really can't do anything, they are supposed to be looking at the actual house or apartment, not your belongings

Having just gone through this recently... you can do it! And if not, there pressure from having procrastinated will force you to do it in record time. Get the bathroom/shower done first is my advice since they tend to be the grottiest (I hate cleaning bathrooms)
I have just doused the shower and toilet with bleach 💪
