lol that's actually impressive you sorted that so quickly.
- What can I say, I'm an autist :P

Don't be fooled. That's not Gibson. That's a statue I made with all the fluff that's been falling out lately.

Goodnight ❤️

I get so much dog hair in the Dyson I need to empty it a few times per room. I show the dog the bag of hair I keep with me and ask what he plans to do about it.
- You could leave it outside for the birds to make nests of
Very convincing, you must have a great comb.

At the Murray as a young adult with fam, and aunt was driving the boat while I was on the biscuit. She starts doing massive donuts, so the waves grew large and chaotic. Nek minit I realised my dream of going to space.

Dad snapped this picture, so it does the rounds in the family every now and again lol

That's absolutely golden!!

Fresh hell update: They managed to find one at another store . At this point we just want the dishwasher and wash our hands of this BS, so we arrange that they refund the delivery fee, give us a new number and we go pick up at said store.

ONE HOUR LATER. no new number. I call, and Other Store are like "wat"

I call braaahgton: "Ohhh we're having a PERSONAL driver bring it back to brighton for youuuu" WELL THAT'S GREAT BECAUSE THE ARRANGEMENT WAS WE GO PICK IT UP AT ANOTHER STORE YA FARKIN IDIOT

Madam, I feel at least one of these things is required 💊🥃🐈‍⬛🔨
- if I apply mishas there will be blooooooood
  Doubly so because I know this fuckaround is only happening because some cunt doesn't want to lose their commission. Well mate, I stopped giving a shit about what you wanted when you sold our paid-for dishwasher to some rando

lol as predicted new mcmansion builders are out there scratching their heads on how to drain the swimming pool.

I would lend them my $20 pond pump but I'm not going to because I'm cruel.

Lol that's the spirit!
You're a better man than me. I'd be throwing baking soda into the water all weekend.
- baking soda? This is a job for jelly crystals!

It turned out to be quite a nice day today and I got a bit of gardening done. I put some weed & feed on the grass, mostly hoping to get rid of the bindiis, and a couple of other rampant weeds that have gotten a bit overexcited about spring. I planted out some shallots & potato onions (which are a lot like shallots) and sorted out my seed planting plans for tomorrow. Which involved a fair bit of searching through boxes to find some of my gardening stuff which is still packed. I'm still missing a couple of things, but nothing too important.

I hope to get onto some assembling of plant supports tomorrow too, which will help visualise where everything will fit in the garden and help with laying everything out.

Morning! I have found my first Charles III minted coin in the wild. It is approximately as interesting as he is.

Fucking hell

Buy dishwasher on the 25th. Not in stock, but they'll order in from Bosch.

29th they say "Hey good for pickup and organise delivery"
We have sparky coming out on the 3rd so I arrange with the installer to bounce to today
delivery guy says ok ok ok
reschedules four times on their booking system.
finally books in tomorrow
I call him going wtf dude
"nonono it totally says the 5th, 8:30 am"
I call him at 10 am today asking if he's gonna show up "hurrrr isn't it tomorrow?"
He "agrees" to fit us in
DISHWASHER NOT FUCKING THERE
cunt has a go at me over it

Fuck you, good guys brighton. And fuck your goddamn hipages installers

The only thing good guys are good at is advertising.
- Sometimes misleading advertising. I bought a freezer from there a couple of years ago and they were advertising a credit for future purchases that turned out to be so restrictive it was basically useless. Apparently ACCC pulled them up on it and made them send out vouchers with no restrictions or time limits, so I got an unexpected $60 voucher recently (which paid for the toaster I picked up today!)

Do we need to express post you some kittens?
- Yes please. My dog might not like them though.

I have discovered an op shop with sensible prices! And acquired a formal tail-coat for Boyo. If I redo the lapels in something outlandish I might even induce him to wear it

Silver or black embroidered spiderwebs across the lapels, and on one of them, a haematite spider with black pipecleaner legs. Or a googly eye with pipecleaner legs would be fun too.
- Alas, is an arachnophobe

....after 15 minutes

It worked!

I had a relatively normal night of sleep. Still woke up once or twice but fell straight back to sleep.

I forgot what feeling refreshed after sleep felt like lol

What was the secret?
- I was taking my last adhd tablet at the wrong time. I was taking it early thinking it would run out faster but that's not how it works.
  If you take it too early it stacks with the previous tablet and you got a weird double effect.

My bus this morning has a loud talking druggie couple up the back and I had to move because they smell like poop. I'm listening to Alter Bridge and I can hear them above it 🤦🏼‍♀️

I have successfully braved the local post office to pick up my toaster and return some long-overdue library books. I can now authoritatively say that it is an awful, badly designed carpark I would be very happy never to return to.

I also went to Bunnings, which was fairly hard to actually get to despite being just over the road. Actually getting there involved a large loop and a ridiculously long light cycle at traffic lights. Then when I was checking out the eftpos machine wasn't working and after three attempts I had to move to another register to pay. I will be happy to be able to stay home for a while now - I have nearly two weeks off and have plans to not go anywhere.

I managed to spend almost $150 on various shit. A mix of cow and chicken, plus some liquified fish for good measure. When Mr Woof gets a sniff of it all he's going to be very impressed.

On the way home I could see they have surveyors out in the paddocks over the road which are slated for a new estate. The cows were very interested, and one of the surveyors was having to survey in the middle of a herd of bovine helpers.

Having a lot of fun playing Ratchet and Clank on the PS2. I used to play the series ALL THE TIME! I reckon if I made different choices, I'd be a speedrunner for R&C, all my muscle memory is coming back from replaying it over and over in my teens.

And there's so much in the first game that Insomniac expanded on in 2 (going commando) and especially 3 (up your arsenal). I remember why Insomniac are my favourite devs/studio.

That was a great game. Up Your Arsenal. I remember messing around and aiming patiently to snipe a circling aircraft out of the sky
- The Courtney Gears music video and song lives rent free in my head 😂😂

Does anyone else find it hard to watch shows because all you see is the acting?

I've tried a few times now since I stopped taking suboxone and something has shifted. No matter what it is, all I see is the acting.

The way movies are made is changing apparently https://popcrush.com/tv-dumbed-down-phone-scrolling-viewers/ maybe it's that you can see?
- That's interesting. It seems to be with everything even old stuff.
  I don't mind too much but it's been an odd experience.

My modded switch was a great purchase. Who doesn't like sitting in bed with the purr monster and playing some zelda?
