Melbourne

Turned my central evap cooling on during the heat of the day today. It did nothing except raise the humidity inside. Getting a split system years ago was the best idea. At night though, when it’s cooled down outside and is still stuffy inside. This is when evap shines.

hahahha fucking muppet has been going up and down chesterville running his fart muffler full bore and this absolute legend just got ahead of him on a narrow stretch the other side of south and dropped down to 40.

Can't sleep, clown'll eat me.

Another night of restless sleep ahead. I’ve got aircon which does make it somewhat better, but I don’t sleep all that great with that either. Hot nights give me nightmares and multiple wakings.

Mind if I test this link here? Should link to a pixelfed timelapse of a sketch I did...

Testing whether they've fixed the sharing error. Let me know if the link works?

I learnt something about laziness today.

I learnt a lazy person will not do an extra bit of work today, even if it means doing much less tomorrow and increases efficiency. They just don't want to do anything right now. They see work, even doing work for their own quality of life, as a chore and pointless, something to hate and not think about.

Edit: I seem to have got onto the moth issue in the pantry (if there was one) by moving the potentially affected food to the fridge to kill any eggs before throwing it out. Not seeing any bodies in the pantry trap. Edit: Wait no, there's a couple.

But I still see one or two of the little bastards flying around the dining area and my room, plus some corpses in the wardrobe traps. It was a good call to randomly throw those things into an order when I did. No idea how I managed to get clothes moths because the only likely source coming in recently has been dry goods and I don't leave anything open without flyscreens. Unless they hitched a ride on a single clothing item from Kmart.

I haven't had the energy to hot wash/dry everything and do a full vacuum yet but I'm going to chuck the two op shop wool coats I have in the dryer to kill anything in there and bag them. (I know they should have been safely packed away already but my health has been arse.) Dry heat shouldn't shrink items, I think it's only if they go in wet. Then I'm going to keep decluttering and organising to ease more regular vacs.

You know it's been hot when the salty brine of sweat makes it into your mouth without even trying. Well, the house is almost entirely clean sans kitchen - and now it's time for a last round of bulky-item-shopping for the young relative moving to Melbourne tomorrow to study. With tomorrow's weather I don't want her and her dad lugging too much around, especially after an overnight flight.

It's been so long since I moved from scratch that I forget how much you need on that first night when you're just starting out, even in a furnished student accom unit.

I just realised that on Lemmy you can search your own comments. This is so good. You can't sort the results by time but as someone who often goes back trying to find something I mentioned/when I did or ordered a thing it's a step up from Reddit

Somewhere in all my decluttering I seem to have lost the power cord to my sewing machine. Conveniently it takes the same type of cord as the battery charger for my camera so I can still sew.

I have ordered a new cord for the machine, and spent a ton more money on some accessories that are at a really big discount as they are not going to be stocking them any more - I have almost bought them before but decided they were too expensive, so I'm pretty happy to be able to get them at a good price.

QAnons and alt-righters are losing their shit at the Super Bowl win.

Taylor Swift and the Biden administration scripted the win in favour of KC. Ironically, KC is from Missouri, which is a fairly conservative state, and SF is the most left leaning one. Important to mention SF was the team with Colin Kaepernick who started kneeling during the anthem.

So many brains exploding today.

For everyone who doesn't sleep well may I remind you of the sweet smooth soft honey voice of Professor Brian Cox. He will lull you to sleep with his talk of the universe.

It seems that cool change has arrived a bit quicker than expected. I was hoping I'd be able to hang my clothes out when I'm done at the laundromat and they would be dry before I leave for work tomorrow 😬 I guess I should appreciate the earlier cool change as we all may sleep a little better tonight.
