I moved to Melbourne from interstate 15 years ago. I have to move house (to downsize) in a few months, but nowhere feels right. Just picking a suburb has been paralysing.
Over the last couple of weeks a few things have made me think of returning to my home state. Recent discussion with family has solidified it. I’m going home.
It’s going to be weird not saying anything about it IRL till it’s settled.
I feel you and I understand. It’s weird isn’t it having that feeling but knowing your doing the right thing by leaving? Something has changed here and I can’t put my finger on it, do you feel the same?
Yeah, absolutely. I went through a rough time a few years back and Melbourne lost its sparkle for me. I really have tried to push past it, but seem to keep struggling with the same stuff. Since coming to the decision to leave, there’s been unexpected relief.
Best wishes for you. I hope you’ll still stick around here. ❤️
Thank you. Definitely will, the Melbourne community is something else. 🖤
Good luck, happiness and good health where ever you choose.
so many hugs
Melbourne will be poorer without you.
Aww thank you! It’s been a tough decision. I may venture back later in life, who knows!
The heebies! The heebies!!! Wednesday I start work, then Friday arvo mate from UK is staying over, because of the wedding on Saturday.
And I’m on the rag.
Everything Everywhere All At Once!
At least I’m not the bride having to deal with a narcissistic mother and sister though 👀 #blessed 😂
You and I have to stop syncing cycles like this.
It’s all turn out well. 😸
Service: Publicly advertises discount for pensioners
Me, a pensioner: Can I please get the discount for pensioners
Service: Uhhh… I guess… I can do that for you…
I’ve done a rough plan for the next few weeks, just adding on more good habits to the old ones.
Re-orged my work area/desk ( I had to move my area because the young seagoons have the big table now ).
It’ll be ok. 😊
Today was glorious.
Had a meeting with my manager and one of the directors.
Director is an absolute fucking legend lol
Manager tried some petty bullshit and I pushed back hard.
So much respect for the director. I have my lane now.
It’s simple. Stay out of my way so I can make this company money and justify my salary before probation ends.
Now we are all on the same page!
this is awesome
and I am hard reminded of the great scene in Moneyball where Billy talks to the owner and gets total support to do his job. 👍⚾
That’s great. Sounds like you have the freedom to kick some goals now
Quick wipe of bathroom mirror and sink. Litterboxes changed, bins emptied. More laundry.
Running the bathroom and stove fans trying to pull some fresh cool air through.
it never ends
Went home sick after half the day. Shitty sleep and headache. Ended up feeling a bit dizzy and zoning out, realized then I should go rest
Rest up! Blame the weather!
I slept like shit last night at the gf’s. Woke at 0500 and booted home pre-traffic and have been struggling all day, even with naps.
The line to the tennis literally stretches to fed square
Imagine what the linesman would say.
Imagine the racket
Lot’s of love though.
And I think I’m out of puns for today.
edit no I’m not, I’m sure it’ll be ace
Hopefully no one in the line is too high strung, and they’re all game for a day in the sun. You’ve given a good serve of puns.
I think you have established a base line, and do not suffer from whiteline fever.
In a pun competition, id certainly say you have an advantage
thanks, I’m set
Yesterday I folded and put away the towels, put away half the laundry, applied carpet stain spray after blotting a spill up, did a big tidy of the bathroom and a quick scrub of the shower.
But I didn’t have the energy to scrub the carpet cleaner out or finish the dishes, or wipe the bathroom down.
Eh. It doesn’t really matter if the clean laundry waits in the basket. I think I’ll just do a general tidy of the house and attend to the carpet then hopefully get back on the dishes tonight.
Nicely done. I have had to accept that I will always have some laundry waiting patiently to be put away. Meh. I cleaned and demolished the shower and have got the dishwasher going. Just little bits.
Um… De-molded. Not demolished 😱
Yep. I’m just trying to prioritise things that cause problems if left
are there rain storms on the horizon 🙏
Sort of. Not unfortunately on our horizon. windy.com BOM says Wednesday. Will wait and see.
Not forecast but it feels like there should be a summer storm this evening.
none, it feels so dry here, no rain is forecast for the next ten days
I am watering by hand
I’m aware Dethklok is a parody band but the music is still surprisingly solid
murmaider murmaider murmaider
They’ve legit done tours and shit as a band. I absolutely love the show.I wish I watched it when it aired
I think I ate too many cashews. I have bloat.
So you can watch the tennis on Stan, but animated…looks exactly like Wii Tennis. I’m not sure why this is an option.
a little gardening while it’s not too hot outside then back in to do some planning and stuff 😊I got this
gardening done
now to make to do lists and a weekly planner
