Just got my locks changed.
My local locksmith is such a sweetheart. He seems to like me (he says "you're always pleasant"). Lovely guy.
Somehow I feel better for the chat
Honestly I would inhale a tub of ice cream if I let myself.
Make your dreams come true. Just do it
Anti depressent must be working. Had a dream last night mum and I caught up for a coffee and woke up feeling ok about it.
For context, my mother passed away 25 years ago and I lost all the family I had within a few months of her passing away.
Of course I wish I could have met her in real life now, but that I wasn't despondent when I woke up is a good sign I think.
Your ma loved you. Wherever she went, it's entirely possible she still does

Best two out of three?
It's really not clear why Dutton is going off hard on these tax cuts. Most people will be better off than they otherwise would have been if it had of gone ahead according to the previous design. He's the only one who seems mad.
Ex-cop turned childcare magnate feels slighted and has a tantrum? Seems straight forward.

because labor bad is the only policy he has and by god, he's gonna jam it everywhere.
Ok but even as a political move it doesn't make sense because no one is going to line up to agree with him, including many who might ordinarily vote liberal.
If political beliefs were aligned with objective truth the world would be a very different place.
Sadly due to decades of media bias there's plenty who will just ignore that it's Dutton saying it and still agree at the kneejerk outrage against Labor

Nearly home time. A Temu Pakige awaits me at home. Any bets as to whether I have to return anything from this one, or will everything actually be as advertised?
Edit: all appears as advertised. Many decals, plus some odds and ends including a little spout thing which works like an extender for my too-short kitchen tap. Seems to work.
I went downstairs to the bin room. Left my door unlocked, because it's only as far as the bin room.
Came back up to find A STRANGER IN MY FUCKING HOUSE
Is there someone you can call to stay with you a while?
Dad's been. I asked him to leave because it felt like I had to pretend to be okay. While I'm being observed, I have to pretend.
I'll get there. I'm just not there now
Jeez that would freak me out. Hope you're okay.
Short answer is no
Are you ok?
No, no I am not
WHAAAAAT?? More details please! What happened? Who were they? Why were they there? Are they gone now or did you make a new friend?
Bitch seems to have taken my wallet and ipad
What the fuuuuuck. That's fucked, I'm so so sorry you have to deal with this shit on the eve of a PH no less so great fun trying to rapidly replace everything. Can't even trust your neighbours wtf.
I kinda hope your parents can stay out of this somewhat, given their patronising attitude towards you in times of need tbh.
But otherwise I wish I even knew what would help in this sort of situation. I guess I'd be playing loud calming music at night to help block out the anxiety for a night
Does apple have find my device stuff for the ipad? That all sounds pretty violating.
Don't know.
It's honestly the wallet that bothers me more, because I JUST got that sorted. I replaced my cards and everything six weeks ago
She didn't get your house keys? You've still got them right?
Had them around my neck when I left, so yes
Saw car, drove car, liked car. Will buy car Monday.
Got the quote for the insurance. Given the higher value of the car and I suspect the recent claim... ouch. π¬
Some serious marge on its way here. I thought for most of today that the worst would pass north of us, but we're still gonna get some.
Marge arrived here (SE) about the time you posted.
Judging by how close to my front door for wet it just be windy out there too.
Wish it was a little cooler though.
Looks like this is going to last for quite awhile from what I see.
