Wow it's like I'm seeing double π
Damn. The new Cure album is really good. Feel like I need to watch the Crow or something.

Entered the new place today.
sad realisations
Oh man it is somehow a lot smaller and sadder than I remember. And the road noise is so much more noticeable than at my place. I'm not even sure my fridge will fit. E: I have gone back and measured and it will JUST barely fit. Thank fuck. ~~Like an idiot I didn't measure anything while I was inspecting (because it was tenanted).~~ I am really, really cracking the sads right now back at my current place knowing how much I have to give up. It just doesn't feel like what I've worked for at all... Fucking rental market...
Feels like I really am saying goodbye to a whole life in stages. Will any of it be worth it? I'm going to have to fast forward the chat with work about whether I'll be able to work primarily remotely after I finish uni. The only way I see out of any of this long-term is to move in with family to hyper save up a deposit. But the only family I can move in with is interstate.
I definitely need something to look forward to because after slogging it out for years to get residency and building a life for myself I'm really sad at having to shrink it so much. I'm ready to live more expansively. I've really sacrificed a lot to try and finish this degree and it's going so much worse than I expected...
And on top of that, couch guy has turned up only to find that it's too small for his car despite my telling him the dimensions ahead of time. So that's fallen through as well, arrrgh... what do I do now??? Pay someone on airtasker to take it?
Hugs. It doesn't matter if it's not perfect as long as it's clean and safe and you have access to all the things you need and can do what you want.

I really feel for you. All I really have to say is that we're really adaptable critters, and I'm sure once you're over the shock of the move, you'll get adjusted to the smaller place pretty quickly.
Thanks 𧑠yeah, I think I'll find a way forward and adjust my mentality to just get through the next six months. I'm lucky to have my own space at least, and not with housemates from hell. I'm lucky too that I have a great job and plenty of field work options coming up.
It'll be a good impetus to work on what I want in life next instead of being stuck in a rut

Going to ask the managers if I can max out or at least come close to maxing out my hours over the peak trade. Hoping they say yes! But they probably won't. I guess it will be worth a shot.
All I know is if Mr Seagoon ever started talking like in that book at various times verily I would laugh unto I cried.
I can't mention lebanese cucumbers without hearing "Why do you want them for when you got one right here.....". I fall for it every single time.
Thatβs actually hilarious π€£
He's proud of it until I try to grab the fruit basket then he apologises.

Oh lordy. That really is raunchy.

Where is the promised bok choy? I canβt start havenβt got any.
My bok choy has all gone to seed, and I think they were all probably crosses with the mustard greens anyway, so I'm not sure they count.

Yeah nice! Jealous etc.
Iβve got Chinese broccoli if thatβs of any consolation.
I could show a baggie of wombok seedsβ¦
I think it's next week. I'm so gonna put one in my drink if it is.
Everyone's home from work and I'm going to work. Fun times, hopefully won't be too busy, I say, knowing it's a Friday night.
