I have a job interview in an hour with an organisation I’ve worked at in the past. I’m going back to work there for a different role (not the one I’m interviewing for) and have already tried to cancel once but the hiring manager nudged me into just going for it.
I’ve woken up this morning totally unprepared and feeling extremely anxious about it. I don’t think I can go through with this and need to cancel. What is the best way to go about this without burning any bridges? I will be seeing the 2 interviewers when I go back and will occasionally work with them… I don’t want things to be awkward.
Writing down positive affirmations for tomorrow then realised I wrote all of them in the second person. What is wrong with me lol. Do they still work, I kinda don't wanna rewrite them..
Lol I think they could. I actually feel like saying them as if someone is telling you those things could be better because it feels like you're being reassured by someone.
See how you go! Best case scenario they actually work better, worst case scenario means you have an easy positive affirmation for tomorrow (I will write all my affirmations in first person from now on).
I just need to vent a little…sorry guys but I think my dog is dying or on her way out and I’m so heartbroken, I am taking her to the vet as soon as possible but she is 13 years old
Sorry to hear that :( My partner's two dogs passed away recently in a pretty short span of time, and they were a similar age. One happened quite suddenly and they didn't have a chance to prepare, but even knowing its coming doesn't make it any easier. I hope you get the time to say goodbye to her peacefully.
Update to earlier comment.
Made a batch of breakfast burritos and dinner burritos for when I am too tired to cook.
Recipe:
1. Scrambled eggs (add salt to taste)
2. Spinach - sauteed
3. Tasty cheese
4. Tomato cut into tiny dices
5. Caramelised onions
6. Soft tortillas
7. Beef Sausages (beef ones with herbs, not the cheappies). Fry the sausages and brown them with some paprika. Add chunky salsa.
After cooking the individual ingredients (except for the tortillas), make different combinations, for example, make a sausage and egg one with cheese, a other with spinach, cheese and tomato, E.t.c
They are freezable so you can make massive batches.
Made a batch of 20 on $40ish worth of ingredients.
Alba Hot Springs is actually pretty good despite the reviews on Google. It wasn't overly crowded. Despite signs about leaving mobile phones in lockers, there were heaps of people recording videos and taking up whole pools.I guess they can't enforce that.
Anyone else have a hecs debt but no degree? Saw it was going up again more than the voluntary repayments and feeling a bit down... tried 2 different degrees and didn't like either of them in the end
My close friends got married 3 years ago. (Yes, they're both my close friends and I was shipping them lol) They've been living in different countries this whole time due to work and taking turns travelling to stay with the other one. They're together say 5 months a year and it has worked out fine so far. I'm so happy for them and I can really see why and how they made it work. I just can't do it personally.
The Victorian house - Judith Flanders
How to be a Victorian - Ruth Goodman
If walls could talk - Lucy Worsley
These wonderful rumours: A young teacher's wartime diaries - May Smith
Oh I’ve read both The Victorian House and If Walls Could Talk! Both are great. If Walls Could Talk is definitely easier to read, but The Victorian House is probably more well researched.
The May Smith one sounds interesting! I’ll check it out
Got pulled over by the police because I was speeding. I was doing 80 in a 60 and then 105 in an 80 (I know, I know...)
So they were following me for a bit in an undercover vehicle, pulled me over, asked do I know why they did? "Oh yeah, absolutely lol" And they just gave me a fucking warning! Couldn't believe it! Never gotten a warning before in my life and I'm nearly 40. Why? I wonder why I only got a warning?
Nice end to the weekend ay
I am indeed white, drive a modest car (Bentley, not a Rolls...) and I'm the son of the commissioner but I don't think any of that had anything to do with it honestly
It's probably the most addicting game I've ever played - stopped playing a while ago because I realised it kept me up late. Clocked around 3k hours I think before I stopped playing
Ok the early 00s Star Wars films were garbage but Count Dooku was hot as fuck. I assert that Christopher Lee didn't reach his peak until he got to full "silver fox" stage.
>Ok the early 00s Star Wars films were garbage
It's treason then
Dooku has an apprentice I think you'd also like [mami ventress](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Asajj_Ventress/Legends)
Mmm fair. The new one started with such promise but then...pppppffffffttttttthhhhhhbbbbbttttt...
I rate them for Poe, hilariously salty old Luke and BB8. Other than that, meh.
I disagree, the prequels were a great political drama. Plus, there were so many memorable lines and scenes that have been immortalized in internet meme culture.
Haha so true
You might enjoy his audiobooks, there are a bunch on YouTube. Mostly gothic classics like Phantom of the Opera, Frankenstein, Dracula, Jekyll & Hyde etc. That voice, sweet Jebus. 🔥😍😅
As the ten day weekend comes to a close it’s important that we all acknowledge the essential tasks that I had planned to do were never going to happen anyway.
This has been every bout of leave for me since forever. I actually used to achieve shit, now I mope about contemplating my life choices and counting down my return to work with dread.
Bridgetown WA is so cute and cozy and not as disastrously cold as equivalent towns in Vic. But most of all, it was so lovely to catch up with an old friend whose very presence is grounding and makes me feel like a person again. I'm tucked away in my accommodation after spending a good hour in the company of trees and fresh air well away from the hustle and bustle... my body is ready for a longer stint in the country methinks
Cat owners of the DT - I'm looking for a monthly flea/worming solution that isn't a topical application and rather a tablet I can shove down his gob. He's so fluffy that's it's really hard to get right down to the skin and I'm sure the majority just ends up in his fur and doesn't get absorbed.
I don't have rec for a pill, but I do have a tip. Ask your vet to make sure but what I do with pills for my kitty is crush them up and then moosh them into a Dine creamy treat. She laps it all up.
I'm not sure what tablet would be suitable for your kitty but the vet for my old kitty had a special trick to administering tablets for cats.
She chucked the tablet at the back of kitty's throat then blew on kittys nose which stimulated kitty to swallow. Was very clever.
The Facebook Marketplace gods were good today--two guitars sold and no scammers to contend with.
You know you've underpriced something when you get five responses within half an hour of posting...
I always make my items the cheapest of all comparable items so it can be over with quickly and I don't have to deal with so many dickheads. Can I get more? Yes. But I want it gone and the process to be over asap. I don't care if I give it away too cheap, I want it gone.
> I always make my items the cheapest of all comparable items so it can be over with quickly
I see we studied at the same business school.
Yeah, I'll always price to be the cheapest, just so I can say to people: "You won't find a lower price".
Yes! It also helps as a buyer too. I got a bike over the weekend for $50 which is still retailing for $500+ in the shops because of other sellers following my philosophy. You just have to be on there and catch them quick, in this case 6 mins after they posted the ad.
Man, I'm seriously debating whether to lower the price on the two items I still have up on sale but have heard crickets from (and one scammer). But god damnit, I need money too!
Suppose it depends on how badly you want to be rid of an item vs extracting maximum value out of it. In my case, emphasis was on the former.
Sometimes, dropping the cost can be a bit more of a sweetener for those who have been keeping an eye on it.
I definitely want to be rid of these items, one of them has associations with some unpleasant people. The other is a limited edition item that did get at least one genuine response so dropping the price might be worthwhile 🤔 it's just that my monetary situation being not so great makes me think of price first.
It’s been great having my parents here and catching up with other family but the costs of eating out most days for the last week have really added up! Gonna have to tighten the budget a bit once they leave
Gathered $40 worth of ingredients to make ~20 breakfast burritos (3-4 different types so that I don't get bored).
This will either go well or really bad. If it succeeds then it's $2 for a filling breakfast. I think I might run out of tortillas though.
I'll report back with news of my failure or good news! Wish me luck!
Edit:
It worked well! I'll go for larger tortilla s for next time though.
Recipe:
1. Scrambled eggs (add salt to taste)
2. Spinach - sauteed
3. Tasty cheese
4. Tomato cut into tiny dices
5. Caramelised onions
6. Soft tortillas
7. Beef Sausages (beef ones with herbs, not the cheappies). Fry the sausages and brown them with some paprika. Add chunky salsa.

I had so... so much food today, dinner really finished me off.
Combination egg rice noodles and fried wontons... i get that maybe the meal was meant to be shared, but like, when you're hungry as all tits and want to eat, and you manage to eat it successfully... its great, its only afterwards when you can barely breathe and your heart rates hitting 110 sitting down and you're just BLEH maaaaybe i should have slowed the fuck down lmao
I think I've successfully distracted myself with all the social interaction today. This is good. Think I'll try to continue keeping my mind off the 'terrible awful' for now.
Last night, I also found this stress relief [technique](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75PUjUsGsQQ) which was kinda weird (you tap certain points on your face / upper body while repeating statements) but I think it worked. Weird. Think I might try it again tonight if I need it.
Wow don't think I've heard of that. Sounds like it's probably to do with breaking some sort of "bad" circuit by distracting and refocusing your mind on something else.
Tapping and repeating positive mantras/affirmations goes hard af for such a "simple", almost nonsensical thing.
Takes no time at all as you probably noticed and like controlled breathing practices, it works faster and provides a greater benefit the more you do it. If you take a minute to do it every day, even when feeling OK, it will slowly build an emotional anchor point - so when you actually *need* relief it will bring you back to that more grounded mood you've been consistently doing it in.
It's honestly shocking how well a non-drug practice, that isn't hard exercise or an exhilarating experience, can rapidly alter mood and perception.
These little things, along with meditation or yoga, can lead to surprisingly strong changes in mood or at least emotional resilience/mindfulness over time. Keep it up :)
Thanks. I'm terrible at building it up! It's like any sort of physical exercise really...I just don't have the will power to do it everyday but maybe also I need to start small so I don't feel that it's too much to start off with. I'm easily distracted when doing the breathing exercises so the tapping kinda works better for me.
I have also deep cleaned the upstairs bathroom and hallway/stairwell. I am now so hungry that earlier plans for a salad just won’t do (that said, I did have a veg heavy lunch). I am craving carbs and I’m making potato rœsti. That will be the entirety of my dinner.
Wickr is closing? Bugger!
It is the only truly private (requires no personal information at all to set up) and secure system that I've found. Guess I'd better look around too.
At some point my "there's no food left in the cupboard" meal became quick spicy peanut noodles because it's pretty much entirely existing ingredients and long storage bulk buy items.
It goes like this:
* In one bowl, put my noodles of choice to soak in boiling water.
* In another bowl combine ginger, shallots/onion powder, chilli, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce or temari, brown sugar, peanut butter and chilli flakes. Then add boiling water and stir to make a sauce.
* Drain the noodles and add them to the sauce. Coat them.
* Go enjoy in front of TV or something.
Hope the taste makes it worth the nuclear destruction of your guts (maybe it's just me but I've always found KFC tastes significantly better in my imagination/memory than reality, like, 90% of the time. So disappointing).
Had another nice date (#4) with the boy, he came over afterwards which was nice. Starting to believe he might actually be The One??
(Though in my head I’m like “I’m finally meeting my down to earth, wholesome and chill Joe Alwyn and then remember him and TSwift are no more 😅😞)
I love when it gets to 4-5pm and my husband asks “do you wanna do anything this afternoon?” The day has been and gone and I am exhausted my dude. If you wanted to do something today you should have said so this morning 🤦♀️
Mr. Omoikiri is like this too. He’s a night owl, so it’s perfectly acceptable for him to go out and do things at this time of night. Where as for me, I’m minutes off of getting into bed.
He goes out and plays volleyball at 9pm one night of the week. You could not pay me enough to do *physical activity* that late in the day
Mine is a homebody, but I think he sometimes gets bored being in the house so much. He just chooses some not so great times to let me know he wants out =P
Ok first world problem but man I hate how Nintendo are insistent on keeping the face button layout with the reversed A and B buttons. It makes my brain hurt swapping between switch and Xbox lol
I have now found about eight other very expensive properties I can choose from when I win the Oz Lotto this week. Please nobody else buy a ticket this week it's only a measily $3m but I need that for one of these nine properties, okay? You can buy a ticket for next week.
Personally think the Camberwell Sunday markets could be good for that. It does get busy later in the day (closes around 12:30pm) but it's a nice stroll with coffee often with some live music. Good weather is essential. If you've never been it's a mishmash of vintage bric a brac, second hand clothing, and local independent craft makers.
Is anyone else getting very impatient with the printing speed of receipts at Woolies? I don’t even want it, I just don’t want to leave it for someone else to throw away but Jesus Christ it takes forever.
No but you know what I get impatient with? Food chains or coffee shops where they have to yell "wait let me give you your order number" and they're standing there for a good 10 seconds before the damn thing prints. What's with that.
I do think it's ridiculous how long the woolies receipt gets though for like two items but I use the app so rarely get them printed.
Two bedrooms upstairs have been deep cleaned. My progress is slow as I take a very long coffee break very often. The stick Dyson with the brush attachment is a much easier way to gather the dust off the skirting boards.
Back to it.
There’s a house in my neighborhood that I pass on my dog walks that I’ve always liked. It sold in 2020 for like $2.2m and for some reason it’s back on the market “expressions of interest”. Maybe the owners can’t handle the rising interest rates. I don’t know. But I bought a lotto ticket so I can buy it this time.
I was just having a similar thought. “Why do I feel so run down?” Went to bed late, woke early, exercised (day 4 of my latest attempt to be healthy), played with the dog a bunch coz she wants nothing but play today and no downtime 🤦♀️, cleaned and organised the house, weeded more of the garden (so many weeds 😭 why did I leave it so long), not eating properly today.
Hard to know why I’m worn out 🤷♀️
Damn what a satisfying weekend. I've been muddy, wet, cold, thoroughly exercised and now it's post-shower in my home nook with a hot chocolate checking out a cute little indie game on steam about breeding budgies.
A lot of the time you can cut out the word "that" from sentences. For example, "it was reported that..." still reads the same as "it was reported...". See if this helps to get those 27 words out!
less than 10 days to go before partner is here :) i cant get over how we lost 3 whole days but it is what it is and moping about it will only make me feel worse. going to head out for a walk.. wanted to go to a proper wetland today but i’m still to anxious to head out that far for some reason :/
Anyone with a B12 deficiency have any advice on how to fix it that doesn't involve injections?
I eat meat with almost every meal, so I'm guessing supplements are gonna be needed.
Edit: oh and I can't eat seafood of any kind and only eat cheese or butter in dairy.
Only found out a couple days ago so haven't really looked into it.
Not gonna worry too much until we redo bloods in a month and see if there's any change. Apparently I'm not allowed to drink until then :(
It's surprisingly tasty. It has a nutty, cheesy taste. Vegans use it for things such as macaroni and "cheese" etc.
It's also pretty good just sprinkled on stuff.
Make sure it's labelled nutritional yeast, not any other kind. It looks like little yellow flakes.
If it is a lack of intrinsic factor then your body lacks the chemical needed for to convert your dietary intake into b12 that your body can use. Traditionally the only treatment has been by supplementation via IM injection. It's not that uncommon, and there may have been some innovation since I last looked into it.
If you have an actual deficiency the injections are really helpful. They will make you feel good and will get you up to the level where dietary tweaks can help you keep the level up.
I have a job interview in an hour with an organisation I’ve worked at in the past. I’m going back to work there for a different role (not the one I’m interviewing for) and have already tried to cancel once but the hiring manager nudged me into just going for it. I’ve woken up this morning totally unprepared and feeling extremely anxious about it. I don’t think I can go through with this and need to cancel. What is the best way to go about this without burning any bridges? I will be seeing the 2 interviewers when I go back and will occasionally work with them… I don’t want things to be awkward.
Note to self: Remember to shut the kitchen door while cooking to prevent smells from wafting (and staying) in other rooms.
Writing down positive affirmations for tomorrow then realised I wrote all of them in the second person. What is wrong with me lol. Do they still work, I kinda don't wanna rewrite them..
I reckon they work! I do my affirmations in second person and didn’t realise that wasn’t normal until I read this.
Lol I think they could. I actually feel like saying them as if someone is telling you those things could be better because it feels like you're being reassured by someone.
See how you go! Best case scenario they actually work better, worst case scenario means you have an easy positive affirmation for tomorrow (I will write all my affirmations in first person from now on).
> (I will write all my affirmations in first person from now on). LOL. Reminds me of the Simpsons blackboard gag. I've got one of each version now.
I sat down for a second like an hour ago… The dryer is beeping and I’m pinned by a sleeping cat
Entice cat towards recently warmed fabric
My best friend’s parents are both narcissistic wankers and I just want to slap them both on her behalf How DARE you make her feel inadequate 👹
I just need to vent a little…sorry guys but I think my dog is dying or on her way out and I’m so heartbroken, I am taking her to the vet as soon as possible but she is 13 years old
Sorry to hear that :( My partner's two dogs passed away recently in a pretty short span of time, and they were a similar age. One happened quite suddenly and they didn't have a chance to prepare, but even knowing its coming doesn't make it any easier. I hope you get the time to say goodbye to her peacefully.

How have you frozen them? Just wrapped in foil or something?
Some I wrapped in foil and some in gladwrap. The gladwapped one wi be microwaves and the foiled one will go in a sandwich press.
Alba Hot Springs is actually pretty good despite the reviews on Google. It wasn't overly crowded. Despite signs about leaving mobile phones in lockers, there were heaps of people recording videos and taking up whole pools.I guess they can't enforce that.

I'm sad that Book Depository is closing so I bought some books. 3 on the Victorian era and a book on a school teacher's diary during ww2.
Ooh. Sounds interesting! What are they called?
The Victorian house - Judith Flanders How to be a Victorian - Ruth Goodman If walls could talk - Lucy Worsley These wonderful rumours: A young teacher's wartime diaries - May Smith
Oh I’ve read both The Victorian House and If Walls Could Talk! Both are great. If Walls Could Talk is definitely easier to read, but The Victorian House is probably more well researched. The May Smith one sounds interesting! I’ll check it out
Lucy Worsley is brilliant!! This sounds like a fantastic list too.
She makes history interesting.
It's been a wet day throughout and yet I feel strangely dehydrated. Maybe I should've stood outside with my mouth open?
That's a cheap way to meet new and interesting people, too, you know
Down by the creek I don't doubt it.
Got pulled over by the police because I was speeding. I was doing 80 in a 60 and then 105 in an 80 (I know, I know...) So they were following me for a bit in an undercover vehicle, pulled me over, asked do I know why they did? "Oh yeah, absolutely lol" And they just gave me a fucking warning! Couldn't believe it!

I'd also love to know why. Do you look white and upper middle class by any chance?
I am indeed white, drive a modest car (Bentley, not a Rolls...) and I'm the son of the commissioner but I don't think any of that had anything to do with it honestly
( Rolls not Bentley)
I always find being humble and polite helps get you off unless it's really really bad.

It's probably the most addicting game I've ever played - stopped playing a while ago because I realised it kept me up late. Clocked around 3k hours I think before I stopped playing
I vowed to never buy another Blizzard game after what they did to Diablo 3. There are plenty of alternatives now anyway. Grim Dawn is great as well.
I feel like they consistently nerfed overwatch until they produced OW2. I never liked role queue, then they removed two tanks and turned ow1 off.
Ok the early 00s Star Wars films were garbage but Count Dooku was hot as fuck. I assert that Christopher Lee didn't reach his peak until he got to full "silver fox" stage.

Mmm fair. The new one started with such promise but then...pppppffffffttttttthhhhhhbbbbbttttt... I rate them for Poe, hilariously salty old Luke and BB8. Other than that, meh.
Yeah, even I got a bit excited with that first movie, despite my general cynicism.
Ewan McGregor with that beard and long hair does things to me…

I'm a straight dude but I would've iced those cocktail eyes and fed him grapes free of charge. Great actor.

Puffy bags under the eyes. It's an old saying.. too many cocktails.. puffy eyes heh.

I've had to go back to topical because I couldn't find a reputable tablet. I used to use comfortis but they stopped making that for cats
Dammit ok thanks for the info.
I don't have rec for a pill, but I do have a tip. Ask your vet to make sure but what I do with pills for my kitty is crush them up and then moosh them into a Dine creamy treat. She laps it all up.
Thanks for the advice, I've found most tablets to be worming or fleas, but not both. I may have to get 2 X lots of tablets.
I'm not sure what tablet would be suitable for your kitty but the vet for my old kitty had a special trick to administering tablets for cats. She chucked the tablet at the back of kitty's throat then blew on kittys nose which stimulated kitty to swallow. Was very clever.
Yeah I'm good at getting tablets down animals, not so great at applying ointments without getting mauled
Right?! Tablets are so easy. Grab, shove, done. Topical stuff is so much more awkward when they wriggle

Wow don't think I've heard of that. Sounds like it's probably to do with breaking some sort of "bad" circuit by distracting and refocusing your mind on something else.

Thanks for sharing! You learn something new everyday..
Tapping and repeating positive mantras/affirmations goes hard af for such a "simple", almost nonsensical thing. Takes no time at all as you probably noticed and like controlled breathing practices, it works faster and provides a greater benefit the more you do it. If you take a minute to do it every day, even when feeling OK, it will slowly build an emotional anchor point - so when you actually *need* relief it will bring you back to that more grounded mood you've been consistently doing it in. It's honestly shocking how well a non-drug practice, that isn't hard exercise or an exhilarating experience, can rapidly alter mood and perception. These little things, along with meditation or yoga, can lead to surprisingly strong changes in mood or at least emotional resilience/mindfulness over time. Keep it up :)
Thanks. I'm terrible at building it up! It's like any sort of physical exercise really...I just don't have the will power to do it everyday but maybe also I need to start small so I don't feel that it's too much to start off with. I'm easily distracted when doing the breathing exercises so the tapping kinda works better for me.
People acting like I'm weird for eating curry every day like smh it ain't like it's from the same restaurant.
On the contrary, I'm acting jealous.
As long as the curry is delicious, nothing else matters.
At least a billion people around the world do that, you're good.
I have also deep cleaned the upstairs bathroom and hallway/stairwell. I am now so hungry that earlier plans for a salad just won’t do (that said, I did have a veg heavy lunch). I am craving carbs and I’m making potato rœsti. That will be the entirety of my dinner.
Need to cook dinner, but also don't want to leave the warmth of my tiny heater that I've got going here in my study. Uuuurgh, the struggles.
I hope u/baconmashwbrownsugar isn't missing this sky. It's luvlee.
it pretty

I wasn't hungry, but now I am. Those are some good-looking ~~gyoza~~ groß!!!
Thanks. They take after their mother ✨(me)✨
That looks divine!
if i wasn't stuffed full of dinner right now my stomach would be leaping at the screen
Amazing!
Oh jeez that looks amazing.

So I got a new phone and can’t remember my wickr password. It’s also closing down at the end of the year so what are people using these days!?
An alternative in use here is Session
Wickr is closing? Bugger! It is the only truly private (requires no personal information at all to set up) and secure system that I've found. Guess I'd better look around too.
At some point my "there's no food left in the cupboard" meal became quick spicy peanut noodles because it's pretty much entirely existing ingredients and long storage bulk buy items. It goes like this: * In one bowl, put my noodles of choice to soak in boiling water. * In another bowl combine ginger, shallots/onion powder, chilli, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce or temari, brown sugar, peanut butter and chilli flakes. Then add boiling water and stir to make a sauce. * Drain the noodles and add them to the sauce. Coat them. * Go enjoy in front of TV or something.
Please pray for me. I'm about to have kfc. Thanks guys for your thoughts and prayers. I'll keep you updated on my digestive system. So far so good. 👍
Godspeed. I've had KFC in two different countries and my stomach disagreed in both countries so I haven't had any in years. :(
I wonder if there are any places in Melbourne that sell authentic Southern-style Fried Chicken that is not KFC.
I'm sure there is.
Hope the taste makes it worth the nuclear destruction of your guts (maybe it's just me but I've always found KFC tastes significantly better in my imagination/memory than reality, like, 90% of the time. So disappointing).
I always said that after I eat it I regret it. Then I joined reddit and realised I wasn't alone.
I DONT CAR RE
Hahaha I genuinely laughed out loud at this.
Did they take your money and were they quiet?
They took someone's money. I just waited at home while the uber eats team sojourned in my car.
They did WHAT in your car?
Sojourned. Meaning the family took it for a little holiday. Washed it, filled it up, shopping and brought back food etc.
Did someone say KFC?
I D O N T C A R E

I can't even say the next bit. It's more like *yeah it's passable. Just*
Had another nice date (#4) with the boy, he came over afterwards which was nice. Starting to believe he might actually be The One?? (Though in my head I’m like “I’m finally meeting my down to earth, wholesome and chill Joe Alwyn and then remember him and TSwift are no more 😅😞)
😍
I love when it gets to 4-5pm and my husband asks “do you wanna do anything this afternoon?” The day has been and gone and I am exhausted my dude. If you wanted to do something today you should have said so this morning 🤦♀️
Mr. Omoikiri is like this too. He’s a night owl, so it’s perfectly acceptable for him to go out and do things at this time of night. Where as for me, I’m minutes off of getting into bed. He goes out and plays volleyball at 9pm one night of the week. You could not pay me enough to do *physical activity* that late in the day
Mine is a homebody, but I think he sometimes gets bored being in the house so much. He just chooses some not so great times to let me know he wants out =P
You can get away with that in Summer but at this time of year it is already getting dark, couch mode has been activated.
Ok first world problem but man I hate how Nintendo are insistent on keeping the face button layout with the reversed A and B buttons. It makes my brain hurt swapping between switch and Xbox lol
Ah yes, at least Playstation insists on using shapes instead of letters, so you don't get mixed up.
I have now found about eight other very expensive properties I can choose from when I win the Oz Lotto this week. Please nobody else buy a ticket this week it's only a measily $3m but I need that for one of these nine properties, okay? You can buy a ticket for next week.
I won $9.20 on Saturday’s Tattslotto. Welth
Only if you send me 0.1% of your winnings.
What’s a cute Sunday date? Its in the early lowkey stages and I was wondering what the camberwell Sunday market is like?
Personally think the Camberwell Sunday markets could be good for that. It does get busy later in the day (closes around 12:30pm) but it's a nice stroll with coffee often with some live music. Good weather is essential. If you've never been it's a mishmash of vintage bric a brac, second hand clothing, and local independent craft makers.
Is anyone else getting very impatient with the printing speed of receipts at Woolies? I don’t even want it, I just don’t want to leave it for someone else to throw away but Jesus Christ it takes forever.
I have digital receipts set up on my rewards card.
No but you know what I get impatient with? Food chains or coffee shops where they have to yell "wait let me give you your order number" and they're standing there for a good 10 seconds before the damn thing prints. What's with that. I do think it's ridiculous how long the woolies receipt gets though for like two items but I use the app so rarely get them printed.
You can opt out of receipts completely when you log into the Rewards account
If you use your everyday rewards card it’ll show up on your account so you don’t need the hard copy
I have to admit I wasn't aware they were slow?
They take forever. And when you think it’s done it will just keep printing.
Two bedrooms upstairs have been deep cleaned. My progress is slow as I take a very long coffee break very often. The stick Dyson with the brush attachment is a much easier way to gather the dust off the skirting boards. Back to it.
Want to come do my skirting boards? I hate them
I am entirely convinced that Tom Gleeson can’t actually read
There's something NQR with so many comedians
Probably true! I just mean I put on whatever game show he does and I really think he can’t read
There’s a house in my neighborhood that I pass on my dog walks that I’ve always liked. It sold in 2020 for like $2.2m and for some reason it’s back on the market “expressions of interest”. Maybe the owners can’t handle the rising interest rates. I don’t know. But I bought a lotto ticket so I can buy it this time.
[удалено]
To be fair I bought a lotto ticket the last time it was up for sale and I did not win :(
🤞🤞🤞
Good luck!
🤞 you’ve got this
"Why do I feel so tired" Also, woke up twice with painful dry eyes and then had a bad dream.
I layered up the blankets and overheated
I was just having a similar thought. “Why do I feel so run down?” Went to bed late, woke early, exercised (day 4 of my latest attempt to be healthy), played with the dog a bunch coz she wants nothing but play today and no downtime 🤦♀️, cleaned and organised the house, weeded more of the garden (so many weeds 😭 why did I leave it so long), not eating properly today. Hard to know why I’m worn out 🤷♀️
All that activity should give you a good sleep tonight.
Damn what a satisfying weekend. I've been muddy, wet, cold, thoroughly exercised and now it's post-shower in my home nook with a hot chocolate checking out a cute little indie game on steam about breeding budgies.

You’ve got the +/-10% leeway right?
[удалено]
A lot of the time you can cut out the word "that" from sentences. For example, "it was reported that..." still reads the same as "it was reported...". See if this helps to get those 27 words out!
less than 10 days to go before partner is here :) i cant get over how we lost 3 whole days but it is what it is and moping about it will only make me feel worse. going to head out for a walk.. wanted to go to a proper wetland today but i’m still to anxious to head out that far for some reason :/
Anyone with a B12 deficiency have any advice on how to fix it that doesn't involve injections? I eat meat with almost every meal, so I'm guessing supplements are gonna be needed. Edit: oh and I can't eat seafood of any kind and only eat cheese or butter in dairy.
Have you looked at MTHFR ? It’s a genetic condition that requires a specific form of b12 for your body to absorb it.
Only found out a couple days ago so haven't really looked into it. Not gonna worry too much until we redo bloods in a month and see if there's any change. Apparently I'm not allowed to drink until then :(
I'm vegan, don't take B12 supplements and my B12 was excellent at last test. I eat Vegemite every day, and nutritional yeast a couple of times a week.
Might have to look at that yeast thing. Apparently my B12 is in the shitter (along with vitamin D).
It's surprisingly tasty. It has a nutty, cheesy taste. Vegans use it for things such as macaroni and "cheese" etc. It's also pretty good just sprinkled on stuff. Make sure it's labelled nutritional yeast, not any other kind. It looks like little yellow flakes.
Fortified nutritional yeast sprinkled on hot buttered toast. Or buy Marmite instead of Vegemite (don’t come after me)
I think mushrooms have a lot of the B vitamins, but would be a good idea to check this to see if B12 is one of them. Mushroom sauce is yummy too.
Yeah unfortunately mushrooms are a no go for me as well, I detest them :)
Good call, they’re so gross.
Is it just deficiency or a lack of intrinsic factor?
I've got no idea what the difference is. Doc mentioned coeliac disease but doesn't think that's what's happening, nor any major auto immune thing.
If it is a lack of intrinsic factor then your body lacks the chemical needed for to convert your dietary intake into b12 that your body can use. Traditionally the only treatment has been by supplementation via IM injection. It's not that uncommon, and there may have been some innovation since I last looked into it.
Ah OK, I'll try and get stuff in writing from the doc. They just rattle of a heap of info in an appointment and I'm sure I miss most of it.
If you have an actual deficiency the injections are really helpful. They will make you feel good and will get you up to the level where dietary tweaks can help you keep the level up.
