This is how close I can get atm.

The old manager tried to take a swipe at me again today.

Mate, just fuck off lol

Some of you know I write books. And I write spooky stories for kids. These stories are set in Tasmania. I have written 7 books in the series over the past 3 or so years.

Why is it only now I have thought up the story idea titled "How I got my Second Head?"

Staring at me this whole time.

I was part of the Medibank, Optus and Latitude cyber hacks, and just received a notification from Qantas that I'm involved in theirs. Protection of my personal information is just meaningless at this point.

This week can kick rocks

Today was AWESOME, met so many familiar and wonderful faces at this event and really recharged, invigorated by the presentations and this glorious sun has really perked me up as well. Wrapped up early and probably not working tomorrow, but I'll have at least earned some extra dough this week and have a bit more breathing space to catch up on life stuff. I might even look up what's on this weekend. But for the next couple of hours, it's journalling time before the psych

I opened the ceiling hatch! There are neither dead bodies nor an 80s porn stash.

Early night tonight. Goodnight all ❤️

I've just put together the small bookshelf I bought for the lounge room, now I just need to summon the energy to do the bedside tables and I'll be done with flatpacks. Tomorrow I'll be taking the polystyrene to the recycling centre and finalising the stuff at my old house. Then I'll be able to fully focus on the unpacking and sorting here.

The bedside tables are assembled!

They may win the award for worst designed flat pack I've ever experienced. Multiple screws with a hex fitting recessed into the wood so you can't get tools into them and can only turn a hex key less than a quarter turn before having to reposition. Plus a couple of instructions that were physically impossible. I had to make a few alterations to make it possible to get them together, but I think they are done solidly enough. The quality of the actual components is good and I like the overall design, but actually putting them together was definitely not something I'd want to repeat.

Took today off, just needed it. Did a little bit of shopping (looking for new gym shoes if anyone has any recs), had a yum lunch and a long swim. Twas lovely.

Dinosaur, as requested by kidcalhoon2....

It's official!

I haven't slept more than 3 hours in a row for a year.

🎉 :(

That was actually a really uplifting and lovely psych session?! Yay! ☺️ I might not even need to see her for a while even though I'm still undecided as to whether I should terminate my lease and dump all my stuff in storage, or just pay rent until I get back. Leaving my stuff here is much, much easier, but I don't want to be in the same rut. A lot hinges on whether I can trust myself to courageously move towards change if I come back to the same place.

I can feel a decision bubbling up though. And other ways in which to address that yearning for a powerful driver of change

porridge eaten, dog walked, two loads of washing on the line drying, cat cuddles underway. Today is going fairly well. Except for my grinder dying (with a minor smell of electrical burning just to be dramatic). I shall have to order a new one.

Edit: I have now ordered a new one.

Melbcat seems okay. I’m waiting to see if the latest issue resolves but she’s got a good appetite, is washing herself, and got up to curiously follow a visitor around. She doesn’t seem to be uncomfortable or have pain.

She keeps giving me the biggest fright 😅

Slices of pork belly in the air fryer - suitably marinated. Have worked out how to cook them and get the skin crispy. Tinfoil you are my friend in this endeavour.

Whenever I go to the deli I always ask for a big handful of ham. Well the other day the young lass grabs the most pitiful handful so I encouraged her to grab more by saying "bigger" but because it was shredded it all clumped together. I left with 450g of ham off the bone.

I think I'm gonna make ham and cheese muffins today.

Cheesy garlic bread. You will be mine.

Income statement says tax ready but when I got and try to do my tax return it says the pre-filled information from my income statement is not tax ready.

I guess I have to wait another day and hope it updates tomorrow. :(

Slept at 5am. Yikes.

I found a 32gb SD card in a draw. I put it in my computer and it only reads 30mb of storage capacity and it needs to be formatted.

But it can't be formatted because it's write protected.

I plug it into some computers I have and it doesn't get read at all. What's on this SD card and why doesn't it want me to know? What did I use this SD card for before?

I could probably write a haunted media story about it for reddit for 30 updoots

Anyone get any cunning ideas for bandit proofing an auto cat feeder? I'm thinking plate steel and welding sort of level 😾
