Definitely not me running around the house listening to downpipes in the rain at 5am. Nope no one is that weird… uhh
THEY ALL WORK NOW! And no weird gurgling noises, tank being fed nicely. I DID IT (although I’m not quite sure what I did).
Fuck yeah man!
Awww yissss
Movies I watched this weekend
Wuthering Heights 2/5
God this movie dragged. The last 30 or so minutes were good but it didn’t make up for the snoozefest middle. Style over substance.
Project Hail Mary 4.5/5
Went into this blind knowing nothing about the story. Not sure I would have watched if not for the DT praise but so glad I did. Absolutely loved it. I laughed, I shed a tear, I was on the edge of my seat, it had it all.
😊🥹
Fallout 3 with mods is fucking amazing.
Also filled out volunteer applications for Lort Smith and RSPCA. Let’s see how this plays out.
Also, throwback cat photo
You could also try wildlife Victoria. They help injured wildlife. Even if you can’t be a carer due to work, they need phone operators, drivers etc.
Much appreciated! Will look them up now :)
I’m off to the museum to meet Those Kooky Romans
I’m going to finish reading Mary Beard’s books on Rome then I’ll go check it out. I want the exhibition to feel like a greatest hits tour rather than discovering something new
Lindsey Davis’ books about her Roman detective Falco are a good way to get across the late empire without tears. Poseidon’s Gold is a good place to start. Also Venus in Copper and The Iron Hand of Mars.
It very much is a greatest hits kind of thing, though quite a well done example
sounds cool 😊
kitty cats going wonderfully. Cerys was sacked out in the nook of the cat tree when we Released The Hounds. Her hisses went from HISS to a deflated meh, even when sammy climbed on top of the nook, reached in and bapped her nose to play.
Max is an utter gentleman and kipped on the other cat tree in her eyeline slow blinking for ages.
Tap for spoiler
Hope everyone had a great long weekend. I visited some friends, did a bit of cooking and house admin, and I see I’m not the only one that went to the Rome exhibit! It was a bit smaller than I thought it would be, and a bit crowded, but I enjoyed it. The marble head of Jupiter was the most impressive object for me. But the little everyday items remind you that people are the same everywhere, even 2000 years ago. There were objects from hairdressers, merchants, priests, bowls to eat from, coffins (sarcophagi), coins and art. Just people being people. 2000 years is so incredibly long ago. Amazing that so many items survived.
ugh, ptsd means I cry too easily when there is too much happy
it’s just mr seagoon being awesome again that makes me 🥹🥹🥹
I happy cry way more than sad cry. Fact I happy cry more on behalf of someone else than I do for myself.
I’m glad Mr Seagoon makes you happy 😊 ❤️🫂
just him being him makes me happiest
Packing up hobby crap in boxes to at least put it away.
Edit: And I need to weed these books I never read
just leave out one hobby 😊
I’ve lost all interest I’m afraid 😕Putting the stuff away so it doesn’t clutter so much or need to keep getting cleaned
Oooof mfw i catch my hand between a five pound hammer and a masonry spike. My tomas, they are full of haem.
But the garage is now completely stripped of shitty shitty render and ready for repointing next week! Awww yissssss.
I need to find a place that does window vinyl with a somewhat lassiez-faire relationship to copyright. Because i want this on the inside of the garage window.

Perfect autumn beach weather
beautiful 😊
Those Kooky Romans were quite enjoyable
so many pelicans at the beach today, they have a funny call too
and beach ,
the ILaws are coming later today so I need this walk first 😊
I’m being a massive stresshead and it just won’t stop. Wishing I could just have a drink (or a few) to manually shut my brain off. Green is also off the table.
I like audiobooks and podcasts when I need to replace my brain noise with something else. Currently listening to The Universe series on Crash Course podcasts. https://pca.st/podcast/a68a1cc0-d98e-013c-8c70-0288c31939f3
Anything by Hank and John Green is great for accessible science and topics that are not airy fairy but always hopeful. A bit out there but Stories of the Mahabharata is a family friendly telling of the great Indian mythic tale https://pca.st/podcast/2798d470-fcb5-0131-9d86-5f4c86fd3263
I also finished the full set of Discworld audiobooks but that’s not accessible unless you have audible or similar subscription. Rumination is the thing that gets me but this helps because I can sleep or move at the same time as opposed to doomscrolling
Tense every muscle in your body. All at once. Hard as you fucking can. Clench those fists. Pucker that anus! Until they shake. Hold for 15-30 seconds. Release
Sorry second thought. Although I fought it every time, SSRIs helped (and still do help) me immensely as an adult
Antidepressants have never worked for me (treatment resistant and bad reactions) but I’m getting desperate enough for another go.
it just won’t stop.
what do you think would make it stop
I don’t know. I’m trying to sort out as much as I can
Diazepam (Valium) for grief/panic/anxiety?
Good idea, might not want to rely on it too heavily though
A bit on the wet side today. Mr Woof did get to rock his flouro yellow raincoat on our walk, not that anyone was out to see hin anyway.
Driving down to Melbourne without all the traffic was pretty nice, cut about 40 minutes off the trip. Plus all the clouds meant I didn’t have the usual problem of the sun straight into my eyes, so I’m counting it a pretty good day.
without all the traffic
oh noez heading back to melbs today probably means the vline will be packed.
all trains have been packed because public transport free
