I don’t suppose anyone here is going to see This Will Destroy You Saturday night?
Got my postal vote. Democracy will occur after breakfast
I wish I could vote early but I don’t meet any of the categories. I want to do my democracy now!
Hey, do you and the fam want to come camping in Wombat state forest the weekend of the election?
You can go vote early. I did mine yesterday and have been doing it for the last 3 elections.
They’ll ask you if you meet the eligibility, just say yes and that’s it.
If you need a reason just say you’re out of the state at that time.
The eligibility reasons to postal vote or vote early are not strictly enforced.
You could say you’re travelling on May 3rd (even though you don’t have firm plans to do so just yet…) you would be far from the only one making the same claim.
You don’t need to provide proof.
Yeah, just rock up to a pre-poll place and say you’ll be travelling and they’ll let you. It’s more ‘preferred’ if you vote on election day, they won’t stop you voting early
I went towards the end of the day and they didn’t even ask for a reason.
When I voted early last time, all they asked was, “Are you eligible to vote early?”
I said yes and then they gave me the papers.
I’m still a bit surprised (though not unpleasantly) at the little microcosm of activity that these daily threads have.
There’s a question I’ve been asking people for a while, might as well ask here too: what gets you up in the morning?
Sadly it’s work and getting a car park that gets me up in the morning.
phone out of battery
Feed and medicate my cat
Responsibility. Wahh.
This is such a fun space to be in 😀
My tiny bladder.
Same but I think I have a lazy bladder. It can hold a big wee but it’ll wake me and complain when there’s a tiny one loaded and ready to go. I don’t put my red bin out every week because It’s often empty or only has one bag in it so I figure why waste the trucks time. I need my bladder to get with that system.
That little fuzzy feeling in the morning when you wake up and you’re nice and warm and snug and then you realise the reason you woke up is because you need a piss. 😡
So I hop too hoping to catch a lil more zzz and go to the toilet then a fucking teaspoon of wee comes out and I don’t get back to sleep. >: |
At this point: money
And not letting people down I guess
Bloody magpies yelling at me.
I wake with the sunrise and cats wanting breakfast
In a literal sense it’s any one of these things: some noisy birds, my alarm, a plane flying low or loudly, my partner going outside for a cigarette. In a non literal sense it’s a kind of strength and persistence of attitude which propels my life force ever onwards despite the efforts of my detractors lol.

I’m a very positive, happy, go with the flow kinda person… but my god do I dislike a lot of people.
I relate so hard …lol
My boss describes me as ‘doesn’t tolerate fools’.
I sorta wanna pre-poll and rock up on polling day for the sausage. Is this unpatriotic?
That is exactly as god and the electoral roll intended
I cannot vote but am I allowed to walk in for sausage?
Hit up the cake stall too.
🤤
You may. I have decreed it
Thank you Matriarch.
Sossige is fundraiser, so why not? You are supporting the community!
🤤
No.
I reckon that’s an awesome way to do it.
this week back from easter has been atrocious. god I miss sleeping in !!!
Saaaame. I thought a short week would be nice and easy, but it’s still dragging like crazy!
The three days between long weekends are so unnecessary
Motivation at rock bottom. Just want to delete any work commitments until I get back. Some other family stuff has cropped up that has me worried about a different relative… they might be in danger of spiralling badly and doing something stupid (but not reportable). Which might set off a bunch of other dominos. Nothing much I can do from here at this stage but it weighs on my mind. Would be nice for all that to hold off until late June thanks.
I’m going to need a lot more potting mix to pack up all the plants I want to take with me. The iris at least can be divided and stored over winter without soil, but most of the other things will need to be potted up.
I’m hoping the landlord will let me plant a bunch of stuff in ground so I won’t need to buy bigger pots etc. for the future. It’s a pretty ratty garden at the moment, so I can’t see why they’d say no. Plus they can’t “unreasonably refuse” permission to have a vegetable garden, and most of my stuff is edible.
I planted up a pot with some flowering bulbs this morning, I should also be able to take nasturtiums, kangaroo paw, borage, comfrey, artichoke, canna edulis (arrowroot), midjin berries, raspberrries, strawberries, lemon, lime, mandarin, apple, pear, thyme, rosemary, mint and maybe a bay tree. I’m sure I’ll find a few others as well.
You are not just renting a house you are also renting the land. You can have gardens.
good luck saving all your plants 👍🙂
Amazon doesn’t even try with deliveries. I have an empty plant pot next to my front door, perfect for concealing delivered parcels. The Australia Post guy who does the deliveries in my hood gets it. Amazon just leaves the package on my front door mat for anyone to pinch. Hopefully it’s still there when I get home tonight.
We have a mailbox at our doorstep literally made for parcels and most deliveries just get put behind it instead of inside
I set up a big concrete planter box with drainage plumbing and everything just for concealment purposes.
Deliveries end up behind it maybe half the time if I’m lucky.
Woke up at 6, went to the bathroom and a wasp stung me on the back of my neck. Never seen a wasp like it. Fastest most erratic insect I’ve ever seen. Whole right side of the head felt like it was on fire for about an hour. Felt like a bullant sting but went for way longer.
Don’t normally get too upset will little bites but this really tested my limit. Cheaper than a coffee though.
omg, do take care
I guess the silver lining is now I know I won’t die if get stung again by the same one lol.
I wish I knew what sort it was but it was way too fast.
First wasp bite though, so that’s exciting.
Those little jobs that you put off doing but need to be done. I’m filling up all the soap dispensers.
got a whole bunch of op shop cds
this is pretty funky
all that glitters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKD34dVwr5w&list=RDNKD34dVwr5w&start_radio=1
I’m still annoyed my old Discman got pinched. I could buy cds and just play directly
I think I found the perfect childcare watch. The Casio gmbd300 is your regular slim G-Shock, but can connect to your phone via Bluetooth.
It’s not a smart watch, but you can do all the fiddly shit like setting the time and alarms on your phone and sync it with the watch
I am considering taking a leave of absence from uni next year and getting a job so I can properly treat my AuDHD and issues with procrastination and work avoidance. Any job. I don’t want to sit at a desk for eight hours, five days a week, but if that’s what I have to do, I’ll do it. Very sick of being anxious and stressed all the time when I don’t have to be. Also the thought of going into a classroom for the next few weeks is making me really anxious to the point where I am about to have a meltdown in front of all those kids.
That sounds like a wise choice. A year out could give you good perspective. When do you have to decide? It could be good to set out a job position before giving notice of leave so you don’t cause yourself extra stress and you know what you are going into.
I’ve still got a couple of months to decide. Thank you for the advice! I’m not sure what I’m after just yet, but am applying to all different things, mostly pen pushing jobs.
It sounds like a leave of absence might be a really good choice. Being so perpetually wired up and tense is no good, it doesn’t seem like one of those situations where you’ll get used to it and adapt, sounds like the path towards burnout instead…
I struggle a lot with procrastination and work avoidance myself, but after many years I’ve been able to identify what combination of factors work for me. I can say that the uni setting often doesn’t work for me. Forcing myself to get through it has been like pulling teeth. So I strongly support you finding out what works for you as well and being gentle with yourself (while trying to survive the capitalist hellscape)!
