Mr P finally tested negative this morning. I'm off back to work, broke as a joke! Wish they hadn't taken away sick pay for casuals, would've really helped. I know you get paid a little extra and you're meant to tuck it away in case you get sick, but in a single income family that ain't happening.
😝 The Daily Chair. I gave the chair a rub down using the finest sandpaper and then applied the 3rd coat with long strokes being careful for drips.
It's look so glossy and awesome. Can't wait to use it on a daily basis. 🙂
Great Ted Cat update.
Ted asked to have his face brushed and the rest of him brushed too. He likes it and I think he sees the need for it. Sadly he isn't a low maintenance Neeb he's a high maintenance Blue Himalayan, which explains his very cute face.
He has knots that we are working on. 😿
I realised I haven't had Vegemite in a long time. I'm ashamed to admit it, but it's been about 1-2 years since I last had it. I remedied that with some Vegemite toast. I dont usually eat breakfast, but sometimes you just need that nice kick to start the day. And it's useful because it's actually got some food value, especially with wholemeal or high fibre bread. Unlike most cereals which are essentially just flavoured sugar
Baku ♥️ vegemite
Despite mrs b’s lack of enthusiasm, and a little bit more lenience from her than I would like I’ve gotta say the bedtime routine seems to be working a lot better with the kid. That’s night 2 he’s gone down after 2 stories without it being a shit fight. And we’re only 3 days into the routine.
I got some bad news from the TAFE company. Apparently they've run out of funded places for the course I wanted to take, but I was able to get a place before they did. Unfortunately apparently without as many free TAFE people, and the absence of many paying people, they don't have enough people to start the course anymore. Is this a normal thing in the TAFE world? It sounds odd
They offered me a few other options. There's a few courses I could switch to, notably a dual cert IV in community services + AOD. I was planning on taking a dual IV in AOD + Mental health next year, so I'm open to the option, but I'm not confident I have the skills and capacity to do that. It's still 1 night a week, but 3 hours instead of 2, and for 15 months.
The other 3 options are essentially all variations for cancelling in some capacity. I can either go take an induction to community services course, which doesn't really give me anything, although I can then do a credit transfer in a cert III/IV, or I can cancel and find a different provider (I have not sentimentalities for these ones, they were just the first one suggested to me and seemed decent enough), or I can cancel and go on a waitlist for their next cert III, probably next year
Muscle memory is a heck of a thing hey. I got a coffee at the drive through, used my right hand to put it in the cup holder so used my left foot to go for the break, my brain recoiled cause I guess it was expecting a clutch to go all the way to the floor. Looked down at the gear selector and there was a 3 second delay (though it felt like an eternity) where my brain goes "P? D?! the fuck is this, what do I do?" before it finally clicks and go "oh. Select D you idiot".
2 years we've had some form of auto car now, and for 10 months its been my primary daily driver.
F yeah found a final breakfast burrito pack in the freezer. Lunch just went from "meh" to exciting.
There has been night roadworks near me, and my sister was complaining of a high pitched noise coming from drilling. I didn't hear it until she pointed it out. Even though her room is close to mine and we share a wall, I can hear it louder in there.
WTH. I just can’t even sometimes…
another 15 cds went out to the footpath for freebies for passersby 👍

I am a newbie to the fediverse and a mastodon user, so I can't see the original lemmy topic. just chiming in to say I am fascinated by the restraint of the combatants over legitimacy on the turf. I am not quite sure how one participates in the fediverse without comments. I can see how this would be considered interjections by some, not always welcome.PSA: centre Road has a pretty bad accident. 2 cars damaged and another has flipped over on its roof.
Between East Boundry and Chesterville Drive. West bound traffic being diverted.
Nope, definitely can't run yet. Mf that's a sore toe.
If anyone needs the coolest woman in Finland to tell you that shame can get fucked, here's Erika Vikman.

I love her 🙌
Has anyone picked up one of those refurbed dell optiplexes before? I'm thinking of getting one, putting a massive HDD I have in it, and using it to torrent and watch things through kodi.
It seems like the biggest issue is finding that balance of price and specs. I don't need anything fancy but it's always nice to have some headroom for things like emulation
One for all the sardine lovers out there I gotta give this a try
