Melbourne

Another lean fortnight. Going to have to be creative with the food I have.

Thank gos for frozen mince though. Means I can have pasta for a week at least.

Also no zombie movies before going to bed tonight.

Absolutely hate the dark and the cold just sucks the energy right out of you. Can't help but wonder how folks in the far north in the artic deal with it where some days the sun barely rises.

grateful for frozen leftovers , tonight it's chicken red curry with rice

Hi everyone - thank you again for all your good wishes. This means a lot to me.
Home again after a marathon opshoppery - haul includes: two (two!) gucci sweaters in my size, one black one blue. Some tailored winter wool trousers in black. All in good nick. Am sorted this winter and probably next. A rather beautiful carnival glass ashtray which I will use as a housekeys dumpspot. Some nice costume jewellery - a brass chain necklace of thin ceramic plaques hand painted with autumn leaves, a brooch made from a small turtle shell (sans turtle) with I think gold fittings and a couple of rock crystal necklaces that I am going to repurpose at some point in the future. I do like Reservoir for opshoppery, and Essendon is stupendous - I had no idea the opshops were so good there. Definitely worth a trip out to that part of town. Fitzroy & Collingwood and Thornbury were all a bit disappointing.

Thank goodness for incompetent pickpockets. Grrr!

Love it when the fix for a PC issue is "go to the BIOS", when the issue is the PC won't even load to the point that BIOS is an option. Partner's 10 year old PC is basically dead (thinks it needs to load from a USB, when it doesn't and never has), so mine is now The Family Computer.

Which is fine for now, I'm addicted to Slice'n'Dice on my phone anyway lol

Finished the day early. Too tired 😴 could stay and click buttons but I'd be so slow and make mistakes better to go home and rest.

Edit. I did manage to sneak in my lunch break before calling it though. Had Vietnamese boat noodles for the first time. Omg I was blown away. The broth is thick and so flavourful - it has pork blood in in it. Lots of delicious meaty goodies and some rice noodles. I am a big fan of all things noodle-soup, and this might be my new favourite honestly. Yes I'm including ramen and pho in that list

I'm phenomenally sleepy today. Normally I'm not on my phone at work but I simply cannot summon any enthusiasm or concentration whatsoever. Holiday mode hit me too hard.

I know it's cold, I know there are germs out there but I am stir crazy and need a walk. Will wear a coat and mask.

Has anyone here had experience bringing a bunch of Facebook pages under the one Business Account? I'm working with a business that's trying to sort out all the pages for their sub-brands, but some just aren't moving across. If I can get this sorted for them I might be able to pick up some extra work with them further down the line.

I'd ask somewhere else but I can't find the right place on Lemmy to ask

The day I don't spill a bit of my coffee on the floor is the day I have died.

I am the Supreme Ruler and Queen of Unco and Mysterious Bruises.

Finally starting to feel a bit better - still coughing up a lung, but my sinuses feel clearer. Some energy today, but I notice it runs out - got to be careful to not overdo it.

Without fail, everytime I've got an appointment for a haircut, it's cold and raining. Sorry everyone 💈
