Oh joy. Notices of a rent increase and a full day power outage. Must not shoot the Postie.

Crazy tooth pain tuesday night, saw my dentist yesterday, tooth extracted (2nd one in 2 months but it had to go), today is pretty much pain free with like no soreness in my gums or jaw. I'm glad, but also odd.

made a long to do list last night , I have pretty much done none of it so far but I did measure the chairs so I know how big to make the new covers
hope the new covers will look cool, they are a patchwork of different tapestry fabrics, just have to match the colours , rust tones with rust, greens , etc etc

Crazy how in the other place threads about world events get swarmed overnight when most of us are asleep. Really makes you think.
I notice that here too, which really annoys me. I understand it a little bit more on Reddit, but it pisses me off so much when there's an article from abc.net.au posted in c/AustralianNews@aussie.zone and half the comments are just Americans being confused.
I guess that's the one positive of the week long federation delays with Lemmy World - most of the Americans are segregated into their own isolated cosm for about a week until it federates over here
So I have a decision to make.
Do to get my headlight replaced after work or do I save it for the weekend instead?
Edit Update: Apparently I can't get mine replaced via Supercheap Auto barn and that I may need to go to a mechanic instead.
:(
How much driving are you doing in the dark?
Very rarely as I don't go out at night.
Darkest it'd get would be when I leave for work at 7 in the morning. I get home relatively early in day.

I'm craving fancy little chocolates. Like from the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie's beautiful cabinet or Haighs or the like. What's your go to flavour? I'm a sucker for anything passionfruit or strawberry/raspberry.

Just made myself a cup of tea and ensconced in the oodie. Back to work
I live in mine now. It just automatically goes over the top after I dress.
Poo. Still positive.
Why did I book my flight for later this afternoon? I'd be in Melbourne by now if I went the morning flight.
It's f'ing cold here though. I'd be waiting till it warms up.
Probably warmer than Tassie.
but not as pretty
But not as warm as Cairns
There was a kid in the ER last night with the same name as my kid. He had his hand smashed with a brick at school and he was still waiting after we left. Poor little fella was OVER it and just wanted to go to bed, hope he is ok.
that could be nasty , hope he doesn't have any bad lasting injury π

Ooooh, ouch
My landlord is actually really good. House is pretty shit but he's a really chill guy. Feel pretty lucky. I wish I could transport this place about 10kms closer to the city.
Now this hotel doesn't have very good soundproofing (at this point I don't believe any building in Australia does) and I can hear everything happening in the hallway and the rooms next to me. BUT I've got a splitty in my room and I set it to come on if it goes under 19 and this is great. So much easier to wake up when it's not like 5Β° in your room
I still couldn't get a very good sleep though. Dozed off again at 5:30 or so and woke up again now. But tonight I'll have a better sleep
Argh, the last thing I need. One of my headlight globes aren't working and I need it replaced :(
I've got a crusty nose. I don't know if I've sandpapered skin off or it's dried smeared snot.
Crusty means you're at the arse end of it :)
Hallelujah
Noice! A free salty snack for later!
These boogies are making me thirsty.
Perfect for fixing an undersalted lunch
Thank you, thatβs quite enough
You've just grossed me out more than anyone else on Lemmy has - congratulations!
I just realised I have had my car 18 years. Am I supposed to throw it a big party or something?
Kick it out of the house and turn the garage/parking space into a pool room.
if you like it? get a cut/polish and maybe a ceramic coat. It'll last longer that way.
Considering my usual standard of care the shock from that sort of treatment might be too much for it. Maybe just a wash. Or more realistically maybe I'll get around to brushing the cobwebs off the side mirror π€£
Registered it to vote?
Has it had its driveshaft greased yet? There are paid services for that
Oooo. We should have a joint 18th. Take them down to the servo, fill them up. It'll be an expensive night.
My 40yo car could chaperone.
My 7yo car could sit in the corner playing its Switch and complaining that it wants to go home.
brrrrr
Temperature's warmer than yesterday by a couple of degrees but it seems colder. π₯Ά
Hi frans
