Music last night has given me this great sense of peace today. Things are going to be OK ❤️

I need to dump this somewhere so please ignore these very long rambles. This has been a week.

I need to keep telling myself - I got this. This will be a challenging period going forward. Thank heavens for the cat. Speaking of:

Oh to be content as a small cat in a shoebox.

Have a great night everyone ❤️

got home at 1, up at 8:30 for breakfast and movie, home at 1 again tonight, alarm at 4 to see if aurora is here and whether sky is clear

I fucking love Saturdays. Back to bed!

Edit: glad I got rid of the work profile on my phone.

I got the first assessment back yesterday. I passed. I'm still working on the other 2 which were due on Monday (but I got an extension).

Assessment 2 is a simple research report. I've done the first 3 questions (12 total), and so far I've spent about 4ish hours on the 4th. It's just now dawning on me that it's probably mostly wasted effort. There aren't grades, it's just a pass/fail, and my trainer isn't a harsh marker. It doesn't really matter how much detail I put into it, I'll pass either way.

But it seems I forgot about that and turned it into an entire essay. It is currently 803 words, when it really doesn't need to be more than 300-400. And I'm only a third of the way through

Why did I do that

Goodnight everyone. Luv you all. 😘😘😘

Good morning

It’s Super Star Saturday! Free coffee voucher for those who complete the optional upskill module!

Woke up early but was still all puffy and congested and emotional from last night's shock email. Trying not to let anger take over and focusing on the good things... grateful that I'm catching up with a friend today. Parking in Carlton has really changed. Nearly everything is 2P till 7pm, all my good weekend street parking spots are gone. Fair enough, I just wish there was better PT connection - the new train stations can't open soon enough.

I’ve done nothing today. This probably isn’t helping my physical health or my mood, but the inertia. 😞

Jesus. The thunder is really coming down now.

So loud

Ah that's a sleep in for me! Think I've got shopping on the agenda for today, Elder Minipeeler wants some new clothes. Miniest needs some too, she's got this habit of chewing her shirts. But she's decided to take up crocheting in the past couple of days so she's stopped chewing her shirts as much, being busy with her hands. Then it's baking a cake and wrapping gifts for Mr P's birthday, which we're doing tomorrow out of convenience (he doesn't mind).

Taking my son to watch Seven Samurai at the Astor tomorrow.

Fatherly nerdy bonding

Everyone is always so sad allegedly when someone dies. Were you there for them when they really needed it? Did you even pick up the phone?

All this talk about mental health is incredibly cheap.

I have a flight that is boarding in about 4 hours - currently trying to decide whether to try and get at least a couple of hours of sleep or full send it and stay up 🥴

I’m thinking I make risotto today. Massive batch

Today is day 365 of learning Spanish

I don't know whether I'll continue my streak or not, but it's pretty cool to do something for 365 days straight. I actually started like 380 days ago, but I've used up a few streak freezes which just stop it from breaking but don't extend it.

I haven't made much progress and without being able to speak it with anybody irl, it doesn't seem like it's actually seeping into my brain. I tried watching shows with foreign language dubs, but it was too difficult to keep up, even when I knew the English dialogue word for word. I can understand about every 5th word in Orange Is The New black though, so I guess that's something. But it doesn't help that Spanish speakers talk at approximately 720,593 words per minute

I haven't had a whole lot of motivation to continue and keep pushing on since about day 200, but I wanted to hit 365 days. My previous longest streak was like 19 days or something like that, so #winning I guess

Rain coming down thick and fast. I did get the washing dry this morning, so am grateful for that. Have also weeded the pot plants and distributed the spring fertilizer ration, so this rain is perfect.

I showed my girlfriend Life Is Beautiful last night. That movie always hits hard but even more so when you have kids

Kimchi on hot dogs. Discuss..

Sometimes I check the Wi-Fi networks my phone picks up in my building, and they don't disappoint.

paternoster 😂

I have a contented cat curled up on my lap, purring. I am getting hungry and and would quite like some lunch. He says that's not his problem. I guess I'm going hungry until His Fluffiness releases me.

Cola icy pole is best icy pole

Shopping done!

Trying out a cafe I haven’t been to today, trying out Drip cafe today.

Hope the coffee is good here.

Not too big of a place here and I’ve taken a front window seat to hopefully see more of the sun.

Ended up with 60mm last night according to the rain gauge. Pretty much in an hour. Insane.

Satisfactory is far too addictive.

Please send me and Ms. Indisin help that isn't in the form of a notebook or a spreadsheet.

Where did Saturday go? Should probably go finish that production line.

I can hear an owl 🖤
