I call this my Lonely People Email Filter and it is vital to my mental health
Back in the day people used to take whole watermelons injected with booze into the cricket. So what you do is bite a little hole in the top and suck the juice from it. Then you start chewing through it. By the end of the day you're wearing the rind as a helmet, giving a little wave 🤘 to the camera and off ya chops.
There's a little culture for ya.
My doorbell camera AI is very fail - it thinks a magpie is a person at the door. It’s pranking me - I keep getting anxiety omg who is at the door
The meds have settled down now.
At this current moment in time, I'm really isolated. A have a couple of good friends but I've always had different groups of friends that I've flitted between.
Most of my dreams are about hanging out with people.
It's an ache of sorts. One that frustrates you because sometimes no matter what you do, you can't alleviate it.
I chose a non traditional pathway. I spent a lot of time being a drug addict, which has long term consequences I never considered.
That aside, the dull ache of depression has lifted, which is nice. Now I have the energy to make big changes in my behaviour.
I think that's the point of these meds.

The truck missed picking up my bin today ☹️
Normally it would not be an issue for me as I don't have much rubbish, but I've been doing a big cleanup and this week it is packed to the top and I have a pile of stuff already waiting for next week too. I've reported it to the Council so it should get emptied, but I presume now it won't be until Monday at the earliest.
'Floating sauna rescues occupants of Tesla that plunged into Oslo fjord' is not a headline you see every day!
My daughter's doing chemistry this year and loving it so much she decided to tell me about her lesson today. There was talk of electrons and...that's as far as I remember because I tuned out but I nodded at the right times then I made an escape but not before I turned to the dog and said "I live in a house with nerds". He agreed.
Ok guys. I have a new recipe for youse.
Coat the rim in choc ice magic. Then choc powder (not cocoa) fill with Cointreau.
Application: lick the rim and scull the liquid. Lick the rim again. Thanks @dumblederp@aussie.zone

I'm writing a cover letter for the first time in 7 years (got my last job through contacts and personally introducing myself).
This is so tedious and frustrating. I keep writing "I bring..." and it ends up sounding like "I bring tales of adventure, stories of wisdom, and the skillset of a wizard" or something stupid like that.
I'm also trying real hard not to start a paragraph dissing myself with "While I have an unconventional background in..." - like, don't lead with negatives. hard habit to break
godamn suspended on reddit again. imma fix this later
I think I ate too much chocolate crossiants things and strawberries at work today.
Feeling tired all of a sudden, can't wait till I can get home from today and watch the ODI today.
Also I made the decision last night to buy the ice cream and boy was it soooo good!
3 weeks of bed rest so far , argh, I have stuff to do but am stuck 😭
Bill Cat 😂 So I fell asleep watching telly and Bill decided to tickle my toes to wake me up. I jumped about a mile, little brat. I'd yell at him but he's too cute.
Today has crawled by very slowly. Still over an hour to home time. ☹️
I am looking forward to my weekend though - I have three days off and will be doing all the fun things. Hard rubbish. Assembling flat pack furniture. Maybe some mowing and weeding if I can fit it in. How did I get to have such an exciting life? 🤣
Finally done with work, having a coffee.
Have Parlez Vous Francais by Art vs Science stuck in my head
Gosh I love the music video
Aaaaahhh. I finally finished the entire application. My butt hurts from sitting too long and I haven't eaten since 11am and I still fluffed up a passage about time management, lol.
Once upon a time I would've felt profoundly sick at having to talk myself up so much and "sell" myself to an employer. I guess now I'm just jaded enough to recognise it's a game I have to play to keep a roof over my head. Just gotta give it a go. I'm not super invested in this job anyway tbh but figure it's the best option going atm and worth a try.
Still waiting for that 3-day a week/short term contract job that would work so much better for me.
Anyway time to go shower and eat and unwind.
Sorting the craft stuff into tubs and deciding what to get rid of. I really should be decluttering my wardrobe but turns out it's the newer 'replacement' clothes I want to ditch (plus the still new looking things that don't get worn) and the tatty frequently used clothes I want to keep.
The obvious answer is to get rid of both worn out and unworn items then buy more clothes I will actually wear, but the options in my price range are not looking good. It really seems the quality of clothing has gone down steeply
DT brain trust, I'm wanting to replace the radio in my car and was wondering how anyone in here has gone about it? Usually I would do something like this myself, but new car has lots of scary buttons and I'm feeling lazy about it.
Do I buy the parts and drop it at the mechanic, do I go to a special place, do I just say I want a new radio and they collect all the bits and do it?
Edit - I'm in the outer west if anyone has any recommendations.
Suddenly wimdy…..
This week has absolutely blazed by. I feel like I just got back from my border trip last weekend. Now I gotta think of what to do THIS weekend! I have absolutely no idea what I want to do but I won't sit in my apartment for it, that's for sure.
I haz had a rye cookie from Baker D’Chirico.
Remind me of those Ovaltine lollies? That is all.
Kidcalhoon2 is playing Sonic Team Racing on the ps4. The theme song slaps!
