Thinking.
There are so many people I have a lot in common with and could get along with really well - if they would treat me with respect.
Theyβre always so shocked and angry when you set a boundary or leave, too. Likeβ¦ you expect me to just take that?
ok guys, it's bed time
good night, sweet dreams πππ
Got a new phone and now I've been locked out of my banking app in trying to set it up π€¦πΌββοΈ Will have to sort it out tomorrow. I'm kind of annoyed.
Anyone looking for ideas for carpet?
here's an idea for you!
Just think, someone had to make that carpet, someone else had to decide to stock it to sell, and someone else had to buy it for this to happen. So many people you have to wonder "what were they thinking?!"
Itβs giving suburban RSL or casino vibes
how did you find MILs 70s carpet? She had lovely matching shantung cushions and curtains.
looked like a cinema or hotel
I love that vibe
i like something a little more calming
Fair enough.
akshully , I do very plain walls and rugs and stuff , that's so I can cover the walls with art prints, with reliefs and the shelves with object .
That actually sounds very nice, especially as I know you collect seashells and things. Before this place, my houses all had an antique store jungle bazaar vibe. Since I had the kids and started living here it's been no indoor plants and nothing quirky and interesting, just a very practical and boring "doesn't matter if it gets dirty/found on someone's nature strip" vibe. With the exception of the kids art and photos of course.
So 70s chic.
I have to admit I kinda like it. Then again, I grew up in a brown Berber and fake walnut veneer paradise so anything oddly colourful appeals to me.
Having some colour is definitely good. Especially atfer looking too long at the modern grey look everything is done in these days. But there can be too much of a good thing.
Walks across the room
seasick
Just saw first comedy show if the season. So so good. Saw: He Huang (absolute best of the night), Nazeem Hussein, Dave Hughes, and an Australian/African girl who's name I sadly forgot who was second best for me - has her own show and is going to be on taskmaster this season. It was a work social club thing and I almost bailed but I'm so glad it didn't. Buzzing π
Iβm watching the festival supershow on telly atm - so many great performances
Partner officially diagnosed with ADHD, and a treatment plan now in place. I'm so proud of him!
We got back to Brunswick, had a couple of Doppel Ename from Mokum, and then got some beer from Blackhearts and Sparrows. It's been a lovely birthday.
Thank you all so much for your birthday wishes and good vibes!! I don't know where I would be without you all! πππ
Ooh belated happy birthday and congrats on the diagnosis for the spud adjacent human.
Aweeesooomee.
From a spousal perspective: you know how sometimes you feel like you're dealing with a toddler and want to stuff them in the toilet? Meds will help drop that shit riiiight down
I feel it in my bones lol π
Is it wrong to call out for some spare dexies? Asking for a friend.
I found a bag of meth I'm not planning on taking.
I don't need meth. I've seen what that does. No thank you.
Homeopathic that shit, put it in a litre of water, then put 10ml into another litre of water then take a few drops on sugar pills. Back yard dexies here ya go.
You ask a cancer patient for some spare fentanyl? Don't dude that dude, c'mon.

Ol' boy caught this (in the wild) on his trip to N. vic last w/e.
I've never seen one in person.

Suddenly have an absolutely raging craving for prawns. Nice juicy prawn heads drowning in flavour... maybe a nice prawn curry or tacos... that'll be tomorrow's treat.
Meanwhile it's back to having the fan on full blast to try and get to sleep. Too hot in here!
