SNRI withdrawal is fucked up. My heart feels like it's jumping in my throat and ticking erratically and my body feels tingly and wrong af.

Don't accidentally (or intentionally) cold-turkey antidepressants; No Bueno!

I think it went ok. The general manager was really nice, but we'll see how it plays out.

Aircon at the office isn't working. After three days in a rental with no aircon, I want to fucking die.

Rightio! Haircut complete. Time for a quick Nanna nap then off to the interview at 3:30pm.

Got another one tomorrow morning which is also cool, so we'll see.

opening up the windows finally, gotta be honest the place smells a bit after 3 people 4 pets inside for basically 3 days.

Bleh, feeling drained today and got a headache incoming as well.

This is going to be make for an unpleasent day even longer :(

I know I'll be bitching about it in a few weeks but right now that fresh cold air coming through the window is like manna from heaven after still feeling that residual overheated feeling today. Now this is good sleeping weather. Not to mention the soft drizzle. 😊 Wash away all that hot grime and dust please!

The ole rego payment has a bit of bite to it. Need something to chase it down.

Pulled an all nighter. When will I crash? Nobody knows!

I'm so fucking motivated now the weather is nice lol

Fantastic parenting advice from 1868: do not pet children or give them candy, it will cause imbecility and diphtheria.

I gave Melbcat the last of a tin of Coles wet food and it was refused like it has been for like a week... then I opened the Woolies stuff of the same flavour and gave her a spoonful. That was eaten eagerly. So I gave her more with her usual meds and it all got eaten. I could have been getting her normal medications into her this whole time.

Was there something up with the freshness of that tin or is the Coles brand now not to her taste? I have so many more tins of that brand because Coles delivery slots cost a fraction of Woolies 😢

(Ideally I'd be shopping Aldi or IGA but require delivery. Also the moobean has very specific needs in cat food and I only just found home brands she can eat)

Back from the bellarine.

Was on an empty tum tum so was going to grab some sushi from Southern x for the first time in years.. $3.70 for a piddly little teryaki chickan handroll. Why you gotta do me like that.

Noped out and now fully invested in cooking cashew chicken.

It's nice to have the door open :)

Dropped off my stuff at the op shop first thing. There was an appalling amount of mess they were cleaning up that had been dumped there by people over the weekend, then probably sifted through and scattered by people taking stuff.

And smashed my phone screen. Gah!

Ugh, feeling pretty average after a relatively sleepless night last night. Forgot the silence of the complex yesterday wasn’t the norm and right on cue this morning, the lovely banging of renovations that would have made me homicidal, if I’d actually had the energy.

Also the Swedish Death Cleaning show or SDC as it shall be known is pretty much Queer Eye w/out the self glow-up. We all know what a sook I am. I need not to be watching that on top of being tired.

Too many chores today… Pick up shoes overdue from the shoe place (hopefully they’re still there after I keep forgetting), dry cleaner next door (Fam, I lived in that trench coat while I was away.), pick up my two-wheels (Did I mention that on top of service, repairs have practically broken the bank? Yep, several k later. That’s a holiday gone right there. Kill me now.)

Also, work be expecting me back a day earlier. I had a sneaking suspicion the date was wrong, but ran with it because I was travelling. An extra day or not. I don’t know whether to just rip the bandaid off. This is a luxury because I’m usually right back at it.

Apparently I've done so many Duolingo lessons after dark they gave me a new widget design

My duo bird looks so comfy and content 🥺

Thought I was going to sleep in the loungeroom tonight, but can't get comfortable enough on the cheapie couch/futon I bought as a stopgap.
Instead I've crawled onto bed with the little fan and a couple of the other windows open for extra air.
At least I don't start work until midday tomorrow. Well, today.

So much housework to catch up on. Necessary housework.

Must not over do it.

The damp paper towel and microwave trick for dried out cookies works a treat! Obviously not perfect, but close enough. I’ll take it!

There is a part-time job that looks good and I'm going to apply for it tomorrow.
To do:

• Complete Seek profile
• Write up that little blurb on the top of the CV
• Tailor-make the skills list
• Cover letter

After an exciting day full of things like sorting my tea towel collection and washing the cover on my couch I think it is time to start on Taco Tuesday.

Jesus the bruises on my tummy and inner thigh from my scooter fall are huge and gruesome now. They look like big tattoos of aged raw steak.

Argh, every time I switch tabs to a different app on the iPad, Mlem crashes (and eats my half-written comment). I just realised I have to put in for leave again for Uni… Oops, I feel bad but I can’t opt out of this intensive.

Managed to get some chores done, but hoooly hell $30+ for dry cleaning a trench coat? Maybe I’m out of touch, but hey it did such an amazing job while I was away.

I’m also onto the Australian version of Alone… Yeah, so far meh…

I have also migrated back to the bedroom, thank you blessed cool!

Lounge-gang represent. Today I weirdly slept the majority of day away (I thought I was dozing, LOL trick’s on me).

Was about to fall asleep a couple of hours ago and then heard a weird plastic snap noise. Then had a bad dream and then plastic noise again… Now part of the can’t sleep gang. So glad I’m not back at work yet, this would be a bad day.

Think I’ll watch some more Swedish Death Cleaning on SBS.

Low 30s and sunny again next weekend. Thank fuck the minimums look better though. Might not really get autumnal until after Easter at this rate

I just looked at the fuel app and a few stations have gone up to 231c. I went straight out and topped up the tank while my local station was still a more sensible price.

Has anyone ever had to deal with drain flies? At least I think that’s what they are. Couple of months ago I had my sewer drain unblocked from a tree root growing in it. Ever since then I’ve had issues. First, my bathroom stunk on sewerage for weeks. It was quite unpleasant but dealt with it. Now every time I go in the bathroom I’m seeing a couple of these moths or flies in there and I swear they are coming in from the plumbing. There’s no other way so many of these bugs could be getting in. I keep killing but more keep appearing. I wondered if it’s my plants but these look very different to gnats.

My gym visiting times have been random while on break. It’s funny to see the different crowds at different times (on working days). The crowd between 9am and 11am is fit retirees. Between 3:30pm to 4:30pm is heavily teenagers in school uniform. Right now I could be in a school gym. At their age visiting the gym was the last thing I would be doing after school.

I am finally clothed

If you have eight legs and come into my house and move around above the door I will kill you with one of my dumbbells. Fucking stay outside.

Laughing at this IPA report saying Victoria has the most expensive energy, with WA being the cheapest.

Don't they look at the stats. The cheapest wholesale electricity energy prices in the past two years has been in Victoria. Meanwhile WA is in a generation crisis. Coal cannot be provided to Bluewaters Power, and the gas plants there are having technical issues.

They even called NSW cheaper. Hence I'm guessing they never went to an energy comparison website, and compared state by state.
