Bit of drama here: the shower which had been taking a little longer to drain but had been manageable suddenly... wasn't yesterday, so I had to find a plumber.
To cut a long story short, actually found one via the local FB group who said they could come today, and was actually able to come earlyish this morning - sorted things out in 15 minutes including putting the tap in the shower back on and only charged me the callout fee. And thanked me for not using Drano.
If anyone is interested, the school I presented at had a nice write up about yesterday. It is a facebook link though
Congrats dude! thats pretty sick. Your name vs your username has broken my mind though. I know its just adding 2 letters, but my mind just cant comprehend it.
Lol thanks!

Primary AND backup coffee places both closed for renovations?! You've gotta be shitting me. Any coffee recommendations around Melbourne central? Maccas just aint cutting it.
Yes. Shortstop, Little Rogue (though might be one of the closed ones?), Krimper.
Cheap options: The $1 coffee at the Monopoly place is good for the price. The $3 coffee at Tigers Den (after 12PM) is OK for the price.
Shortstop is nice, but the temptation to get a 7 dollar doughnut is oftern too great. Tigers den are shut. Forgot about little rouge. Bakemono was the other one, I'm a sucker for those sesame seed honey things.
Shortstop have cool donuts too.
I can vouch for shortstop. Used to live on Little Lonsdale opposite the Children's Court, and would go to Shortstop for their coffee and DELICIOUS DOUGHNUTS ๐คค๐คค๐คค
Puzzle coffee on east side of Melbourne Central is decent
I saw a sign yesterday that Puzzle coffee is coming to QV shopping centre soon
I've found them to be a little hit/miss, but when they're good they are usually pretty good so i'll roll the dice. Cheers.

Menstrual cycles suck.
Couldn't get back to sleep for stressing about whether I'd get a plumber when Zooks woke me about 10 to 4 by joining me for cuddles, so now I'm doing the zombie shuffle but too hyped to sleep. ๐ตโ๐ซ
if only those wonderful hormones were moderate and consistent

Co-worker away sick today on the busiest day of the week, all the work falls on me today :(
Here here.
Agreed. Worst of the worst of the normal body functions.
Ungrateful for drinking too much over the weekend and now I have the alcohol-sads
just got an image of a bunch of uterus's (uteri?) riding the shittest tour de france you've ever seen.

Grateful for getting more sleep last night and my dog for being my weighted blanket for five seconds.
I also have this vague memory of someone recently telling me to hold on until spring and summer and I'll feel better. Or someone saying it to someone. No idea who, what, when, where or how, but it's nice to see a brighter sky.
A little while ago I bought myself a bunch of really pretty (and full sized) flannelette hankies on etsy. They have been a godsend for my little nose through the snot-aggedon of the last week. And I think I'm getting better!! and I had a coffee!
Today I'm grateful for the sun being up and potentially being a warmer day.
Just makes it that little bit nicer today.
the sun has a little warmth, it's nice .๐
Gratitude for local FB actually recommending a good plumber, and for said plumber replying and saying 'yeah we can sort that for you tomorrow'. Also for sorting it in 15 minutes plus fixing the tap in the shower and only charging me a callout fee.
grateful I seem to be able to do much of anything if I put my mind to it and study *
except climb mt everest
Grateful for the coffee bean.

Had a weird dream: I let in a cockatoo (white sulphur crested) to chill with me while I slept, it wandered around on me/the bed as I drifted in and out of sleep, and it kept biting me - not so hard it hurt but like quite hard. It moved around biting my hands, legs, head. It then summoned a buddy cockatoo to chill and bite me more. Dream ended when one of the cockatoos peed on my face
Was this a wet dream? ๐
Whoever told you I was sexually attracted to cockatoos was incorrect. I repeat. Incorrect.
Ate cheese for supper?
Fell asleep early, have now been wide awake for a couple of hours.
Yuck
Good night everyone. ๐ Sweet dreams.
