I've slobbed around enough. Been in bed from 9 to 4 some days after sleeping the whole night through. Tomorrow, Monday, I'm going to reply to some overdue emails and get my life moving... spent enough time consuming media and reading crazy subreddits. I have rested and recovered enough now, from the work burnout. I believe it's possible to find something that gives me flexibility and the chance to do something new with my life, at least for this year.

Housemate and I are on the house hunt and we found this lovely house in a place we love, and in very fine print it says you aren't allowed to use the carport/granny flat or the shed...

Why the fuck would I pay to use half the house/property, you've got to be fucking joking. What's more is I don't want to run into someone in the backyard every other day while I'm paying probably triple their rent. I don't know maybe I'm being unreasonable, but it just seems ridiculous that you pay all this money to basically have a room mate you don't even get to pick.

Yeah Iโ€™d skip that one. Not worth the potential on going drama, which you know for sure there will be. Pass.

Ugh I hate that. A house I rented in Epping for 5 years had the stipulation that tenants couldn't use the shed either, so I had to store the yard stuff in the dilapidated sunroom, which I got complaints about because the lawn mower made it smell a bit like petrol. Couldn't use the sunroom because of the massive holes in the roof, but it smelled like petrol so fuck me right?

Ugh, I feel your pain, it sucks ass to rent from slumlords.
