    Wow, I think I’ve finally established some kind of regular routine to life. What a fucking year it’s been. Looking forward to enjoying the regularness of a new life I worked pretty hard to set up, sober and female. My adhd seems to have settled down a lot now I’ve cut back on caffiene, no booze and better levels of oestrogen in my bloodstream.

    I do aa, play with my cats, make food, do a little exercise and waste time on the internet. I need to start looking for work, but I have very few usable skills which don’t pertain the the music industry. My sister’s eap extends to immediate family and they do career counselling so I’m calling them on Monday. Jobs victoria also, and then try and get another look into doing one of these carer trainesships. I don’t want to have to become a cleaner or dishpig so someone who can identify my strengths would be excellent.

    At least I’ve been active work wise while I’ve been on leave with all the volunteering. Meh, 15 years of two nights a week for a good wage and now I’ll be back to full time to get close to that again. I don’t think it will be a bad thing though, all that free time just led me to substance abuse time and again. Being trans has been such a great opportunity for complete re-invention and enabled me to look after and love myself properly for the first time in my life, so I’m gonna be ok. thx for reading, and thanks everyone for following my journey both here and before on reddit. I’ve felt such wonderful things and made a couple of new friends from the people who’ve replied and engaged. It even seems like my downvoters have disappeared.

      SW Melbourne, didn’t feel it either, despite being awake at the time. Didn’t notice the cats doing anything out of the ordinary either, while they freaked out during the previous quake.

    Let’s talk about cutlery. I have my favourites. Some of them were lost during the Great Lockdown. Some have gone AWOL in the abyss which is the teenager’s bedroom. Some come staggering home wary from whatever horrors they’ve been a part of. Always to a warm welcome and a very hot bath.

    I got told “You’re weird. Nobody counts their knives and forks”. I said “You’re wrong because Nana does”.

    It’s that time of the year again! Summer has hit the US which means it’s now summer everywhere (totally cuz US defaultism and not because more people live in the northern hemisphere than the southern)

    If you’re a gamesperson, time to break out the steam sale song (* not responsible for any deaths caused by cringe overload) and go give your hard earned dollarydoos to a bunch of people who made games you have no intention of ever playing but buy because cheap

        I haven’t played counterstrike since dipping my toes in back when it was first released and I was sick of playing against bots in the Half Life multiplayer (yeah, I’m fucking old) - but the update really has me thinking maybe I should jump in again just for a laugh.

    Cheers cowboys and cowgirls. 🍺 yeeha

    We’ve started off with The Drifters Save The Last Dance For Me.

    Tonight’s game is double ups but there’s 3 artists that have 3 songs in a row so my job is to pick at least one of them for a cup of tea in the morning.

    I think someone should go over to reddit dt and recruit more members for the fun dt (here). Someone sober. Really sell it them.

    Finally got around to calling my bank to lower the interest on my mortgage account - is 6.1% good for a variable homeloan? I’m guessing not and that’s still probably best to go back to the broker and find out what else is out there.

          You might be able to get your bank to lower it with this information. Tell them you’re looking elsewhere. My sister got a .5% discount doing the same thing last year.

    I’m about to try something which some people might consider… unnatural. I’m going to make 2 minute noodles, 2 packs except one pack is chicken, the other beef.

    They’ll call me crazy. They’ll say I’m unhinged. They’ll say ol’ Bull has finally gone too far. This is science at its most extreme and only the bold are etched into the annals of history.

    UPDATE: it made both flavours worse for doing it. It wasn’t bad but either flavour alone would be better. Science.

      If you’re gonna go the mixed meats, don’t halfass it. Where’s the onion. Where’s the cheese. I will accept noodles in lieu of either chips or pita, but not both.
