Melbourne

One of my friends just had her second baby and all my other friends are jumping up straightaway to visit her as soon as possible. Is it wrong that I...just don't care? I mean I'm glad she has had a safe birth, the baby is healthy etc, I sent congratulations and contributed to a baby gift but...I'm sorry i'm not chomping at the bit to come and visit and check-in.

Oh the excited dancing when I walk in the door with a fresh sack of cat biscuits! Sorry boys, it’s not dinner time yet.

I had a very long sleep in.

130 bucks to discover the previous plumber stuffed up the original install. Shocker!

Went to check out my local Anytime today. Was very small and apartment gym like. They only had one PT that worked there as well. Their machines were decent though.

Council gym is the same price plus you get access to the pool and classes. But it isn't 24 hours and doesn't have the option to go to any club, which I'm not sure I'll need anyway. This gym also gives you a personalised program and when I went there, they seemed pretty friendly.

I'm thinking the council gym?

Also scheduled a psych appt and could only get one for a month from now.

And I'm waiting to hear if my uni will give me extensions for my assignments because rotting in bed for three weeks has made it really difficult to do anything.

I really, really dislike people that are just babbling into their phones non stop on public transport.

It's like nails on a chalkboard.

@[email protected] as promised I have procured and been using the ZeroCo cucumber and green tea deodorant!

Ok, I feel pretty confident speaking authoritatively on smells since I literally picked up a gas leak further away than a leak sniffer did, but as always YMMV:

I actually find this scent to be subtler than my usual (dove cucumber) and doesn't really have any chemical over or undertones. It smells stronger in the pouch, but on application via roller it's very very light to almost undetectable when I applied the same way I did dove. I did feel a bit of skin tingle on application, but more "I just used a mint-containing soap (and not on my genitals)" than anything else, and I've had no reaction and it's been several days and multiple applications . Haven't had the chance to test its efficacy after a hard slog of yardwork, but is holding up thus far.

I actually have some left in the pouch (you return them for refilling) and a bunch of those tiny little glass roller bottles floating about - if you like I could mail you a tiny sampler for sniffing and skin testing

edit: Ok I ended up doing a bit of hefting of things for a hot minute, and the scent of the deodorant has increased slightly. Still less than dove, and no BO undertones that it's trying to hide, so possibly just a heat reaction.

Ozbargain had a place selling raspberry pis for a decent price and I decided to order one.

Anyone here have one? And what do you use it for? I'm thinking it would be a chance to learn docker, I can use it to run pihole and still have it set up as an emulation station

I have picked the wrong pathology location today. Soooooo slow and I have stuff to do today!

So a tradie I had over yesterday decided to chuck a fair bit of rubble / building material into the household waste. Would've weighed 40kg-ish and that likely wouldn't have been collected this morning.

there I am at 10pm in the driveway with the bin on its side shovelling it out into pots. The sensor light isn't the best so you sort of have to give it a good wave so it turns on.

Anyway dude across the street is a psychiatrist.. who witnessed me waving enthusiastically at the sensor several times between taking a shovel to a bin...

He asked if I was okay which was nice.

sads My sleep has been so rotten over the last couple weeks.

Very annoying.

friggin tradies man, supposed to be here at 8am. not even a call or text saying "sorry, gonna be late"
