    Very proud Dad moment: My kid’s daycare has a little kiddy pool with colour ball pit balls in them. I’ve been so excited for him to be old enough to go in it. After 6-ish months proud to report he is. And he was DELIGHTED, the excitement on his face was unreal. So happy for him.

    Slept in, yet somehow feel like I barely slept.

    Adulthood is bullshit I used to sleep 6 hours a night and wake up feeling refreshed

      I remember I used to go to bed after being extremely drunk/high and get up to go to work the next day with no issue.

      Those days are loooong gone now.

    Power was out for 7 days - ausnet can’t even get their website working to put in a claim. Some people still have their power out, running a generator costs a fortune (despite having it off overnight)

    <taps mic> Its new NOTEBOOK day folks! Full of potential and wonder - will this be the journal that gets me organised? Will it be neat (no, it won’t)? Will i actually use the index at the front ?

    I don’t know. But it’s a pretty green.

        Dot grid. I like blank best but dots are good when I need to draw and I do draw / doodle a lot.

        Hah oh yeah notebook/laptop. That would be exciting

          Great move. I follow a couple of comic book writers and they all go the dot matrix as well.

          I can’t draw but I still go the dots on their advice as well

    Shit sleep. Shit mood.

    Have an interview (on line) today, so hoping I can mask my negativity for 45 minutes

      I have a meeting this arvo for one of those initiatives that is really busywork to make the higher-ups look good. Will be actively working on not rolling my eyes.

      Good luck with your interview!

        Thanks friend!! I think it went okay, but some of the questions seemed like they were tailored to someone else. I may have been the 3rd or 4th candidate to make up numbers as they had a preferred one already. Still a good experience thought.

        I’ll happily roll my eyes here on your behalf. I’m involved in a fair few of such initiatives myself, and cringe is an understatement.

    The grandparents are visiting and helping to mind the kids for the next two days. These little buggers are getting a bit too much to handle on their own

    I feel like lately it’s been hotter than it ever got through the middle of summer. I don’t like it. Feeling for the people who don’t have power

      Sleeping when it’s hot is so uncomfortable, feel sorry for those without aircon. But I’m the opposite, I think we’ve actually had a fairly moderate Summer overall. I remember the drought years when it was normal to get a run of 35+ for a few days in a row, and at least several 40+ days through Jan and Feb. This year we have had none.

        I meant now is hotter than it ever got through the middle of this particular summer! You’re right, it has definitely been milder than past ones which might be why I’m really feeling it now. I’ve been pretty grateful not to have had those days of heatwaves.
