Saturday Weather: Is hot
Saturday Me: Let's spend ALL day working in the yard without so much as a lunch a break, lopping trees and shovelling compost and mulch and taking a massive trailer load of junk to the tip!
Sunday Weather: Is rainy and a bit muggy
Sunday Me: Even though it's raining, let's keep going cleaning up more after yesterday's activities and filling up another trailer load!!!
Today Me: You idiot. Everything hurts. I hate you.
Saturday was an "Orinoco Flow" kind of day, Sunday was an "ain't no sunshine" kinda day. Today's a "Cruel Summer" kind of day
Rest up if you can Gregsy, fingers crossed you recover quickly!
(I think I pulled a muscle on Thursday moving a box I put far too many heavy books into but was too stubborn to lighten up on and I've only just recovered)
Thanks!! Unfortunately I'm already back at work this morning and it's gonna be a funnnnn week, but we'll get there!!
Ha I've made that same mistake before... 'Oh wow look at how many books I can fit in this bad boy, I am a packing genius!!'. Then you go to MOVE the box and ohhhhhhhno :D
I blame Tetris. Someone should've put a little weight tally up in the corner so everybody knows the downside of being a Tetris whiz

could not get to sleep until late ๐ฃ
The sleep worked better than expected. Sometimes I struggle a lot sleeping that early. But I managed to doze up about 7:30, woke up briefly at 9ish, then had a solid sleep until 3:30
We're taking the really really long way to Adelaide, going via Mount Gambier, then driving up along the Vic/SA border through Penola and Naracoorte up to Bordertown, then we're taking the standard A8 into Adelaide
Nothing specific planned for tomorrow, so we can have a good recovery day. Might head to the National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide
It's a foggy morning out here
I noticed that on the way to work this morning. Have a great trip, look forward to some awesome rail-related pics if you get the chance to post some!!!
Up late studying. I can submit the assessment due tomorrow midnight, so that's all g.
I'll prolly get extensions for the other two, just so I have some classtime with the teachers so they can check my work. I'm a bit freaked out but also I'll be okay and I'll pass; I'm not stupid, I just need some data I can only get from going in, so that's all g too.
I swear I'm a totally cool cucumber rn ๐๐ฌ๐
Can't sleep. Miniest was upset before bed about how one day we'll all be dead and she'll be the only one left for a while. Pretty heavy stuff and she was crying and wanted to be hugged to sleep. I comforted her and told her about how when you're young death's hard to fathom because you haven't started really living yet. How it's like before you were born when there was nothing because you had no consciousness, but once you have consciousness it's hard to stomach losing it. How it's like for me in a way, with my parents and grandparents dead and my siblings are all half siblings who are much older. And I worry about the same thing but the opposite way around, that one day I'll be dead and you kids will be on your own without me to care and protect and advise. Then she told me she'd like to travel and particularly go to America because there's some really cool food she'd like to eat there, but it's full of racists and idiots and guns so it's probably not a place she'll go. Then she fell asleep and I'm thinking too much now I guess.
Give her a hug
and tell her America is also full of nice cool people who make the kid's shows she loves
Oh jeez that's a difficult conversation to have for both of you.
Aw hugs peeler ๐ซ
I don't think that fear ever goes away, we just bury it because it doesn't really benefit us to dwell on it.
I remember having a similar meltdown when I was child for the same reasons, I think it's pretty normal, though I say that while not having kids, and I've heard heaps of stories from my mates and family about the big feelings they felt as kids when they contemplated death.
It's freaky, and occasionally I still freak out about it. But again, I think that's normal as long as it isn't all-consuming and paralysing. I hope you can get some restful sleep soon, friend, and miniest has good, happy dreams ๐
Melbcat is curled into me with her head on my shoulder. Beautiful little baby.
I have no life - I did this US states quiz until I got 50/50
Oof 30/50. I know nothing! ๐
Better than me, I only managed 28/50 ๐ Once the answers came up I did know the rest, but could I think of them when doing the quiz? Not a chance.
Fucking VERMONT ๐ญ I knew it when I saw it at the end, but I was sitting there like "vvvvvv..... VVVVVVV-SOMETHING"
And those flyover states ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
