    The fluffy boi has been having testing on his kidneys, and the vet’s incidentally found a serious heart condition. Poor little chicken. More expensive tests that I can’t really afford to follow.

    blerp, case of the anxiety wobbles again today. Didn’t help that today’s viewing got cancelled at the last minute. LL has sent through rental ledger as requested, which is all okay, but it’s pretty dumb that some part of my body now gets extremely tense every time I see her name in my inbox or I have to deal with her. Truly silly.

    I have another viewing tomorrow that ticks lots of boxes but “Inspection is a must” and the sudden advertising of this property does make me wonder what’s going on. Pics look a bit too good to be true. Wondering if it’s a case of suspicious neighbours…

    Tradie next door building houses having what sounds like a meltdown and is shouting loudly. Very good atmosphere for my sister who is WFH and on the phones, and me trying to scramble to finish assignments.

    Downpipe at the p’s fixed! Took about 2 mintues. Saved a few dollaridoos there.

    A few days ago when I was there I said 'hey I’m going to try and fix it this way". He cracked the shits 'I MAKE THE DECISIONS AROUND HERE". Dude has acute NPD but there are work arounds. So I said okay you do it. So I pissed off down the bellarine… Get a call:

    Me: How’s that pipe going Him: The pipe has fallen 10cm I can’t do it. Getting a plumber in a few weeks.

    I get back, go over today (while he’s away)… Turns out he pulled the down pipe down and it disconnected from the gutter. I chuck it back on try and recreate what he did and he must’ve been trying to climb the thing. Easy fix.

    So now I’m putting a mock invoice in his letter box:

    Call out fee: $200 Labour: $300ph x 0.033 = $10 Materials: 4cm of 100mm PVC: $0.5 Use of toilet: -$1 Stealing a glass of wine: -$9

    He will hate that. Apparently he spent an hour trying to do it.

      He may hate it but admit it, you love it.

      Dunno if you’re AFAB or not but it’s fucking spectacular when you pull this shit on a FIL as a woman XD

    One of my coworkers came in sick. We are so unbelievably busy and have been in a state of crunch for the last month, and I have leave scheduled for Dragon Age and my partner’s birthday in a week.

    I will be so sad if I catch the horrible hacking cough she’s got, I booked an expensive restaurant and everything

    Another day, another job interview. Two this week, one that felt okay and one that felt pretty good - fingers crossed I get to the next stage with at least one of them!

    Edit: second interview for one lined up for next week, yaaaay.

    So I went to the street yard sale that Thornbury posted about.

    It was massive , cool and interesting.

    Two types of sellers, those who want to clear stuff out of their house, those who are trying to make money.

    Prices were generally high, often higher than Op shops.

    Lots of kids stuff, lots of over priced old clothes. So many books and by the look of it no one was buying.

    Few dvds, even fewer CDs and vinyls.

    So what did I get. From an old guy who was clearing out a shed, a nutmeg grater, some antique glass bottle stoppers.

    From another stall I got a pair of light weight cargo pants.

    had a nice chat with a woman who fixes up old chairs and does sewing. 🙂

    It was an ok day.

    When will people learn. If your rubbish bin is overflowing, the birds will come with their mates and scatter your shit all over your nature strip and if it ends up on mine I will go out there and relocate it back onto yours with a huff so use your limp wristed hands and push that shit down so the lid sits flush. Dickhead.

    I’m doing all of the positive things but man life sucks. It’s like wading through molasses. On an incline. And then sliding back

      theres a real “back and forth” feeling lately. was standing in the shower earlier and sort of realized I feel like im taking the hit of each wave rather than riding them atm. Feel like a lot of us are doing that after covid.

    Come down with a cold or something, so missing my human first aid lesson. Ugh. I should just be able to do the course via a charity anyway, and as long as it’s done before I finish the course it will be fine.

    But damn it! Damn it! I hate missing stuff and having to play catch up. Whatever. I just have to trust myself that I am capable. And I don’t mind paying $200 for a one day human first aid course. But fucking fuck fuck fuck
