Ugh. Headache. I've had it since last night, but it hasn't gone away with a sleep. I thought it was a lack of water or something, but I drink a fair bit last night, and a sufficient amount since I woke up today

At least TheStench™️ is fading

Today has been a nothing day. Just avoiding making my headache worse. I think after I feed the strays I'm going to play some ps5 and crash early.

Shame to have lost a day of leave to being in bed.

G’day

Woke up with a terrible coughing fit middle of the night. Now back from doing some shopping and definitely going downhill. Cough, achy, shivers. Tested negative but I think something is going on.....

Send hope it's just post travel detox.

I just got an email from the fair work ombudsman about new employment laws

From 1 January 2025, intentional underpayment of wages or entitlements can be a criminal offence.

Was that seriously not already?

Jeez bit of an ominous start to 2025. EU, US.. lotta death and it's only day 2.

I think I’m going to be waiting a long time for this package.

I'm sad about Jocelyn Wilderstein. I really like her. Rest in peace.

DAMMIT. I have been using solid soaps, shampoo and conditioner and body moisturiser from ethique for years now but they have stopped selling here. They are solid bars and a bit more $$ then bog standard but really nice and last for MONTHS.

Anyone got good tips on solid bar toiletries and cosmetics?

EDIT stand down (for now). Looks like there are still some stockists, they have just closed their direct website

A news article said that some kids born today will see the 22nd century, which is logical I guess but also it's broken my brain.

This time we have tarp & tape windows and a contact covered bathroom unit. Habitation Certs, what are they?

Managed to sleep. I had to take a melatonin, and I didn't get to sleep until 3, but it worked in the end. I woke up a few times because I bumped my burn I got yesterday from those damn cupcakes. I tried to put some non adhesive dressing I had on it yesterday, but I couldn't find my first aid tape, so I had to try and use sticky tape. But it ended up just really hurting everywhere else on my wrist so I took it off

With all these public holidays, I keep thinking today is Monday. Nothing to do today, so I'm going to catch up on the dishes I abandoned last night

Mrs forgot my dinner so I’m eating now whilst she is trying to do the bedtime routine. Toddler just tore ass down the hallway with the Mrs exhaustedly chasing him. Don’t think she appreciated my comment of “he’s too higher level. You need more gym badges!”

Booked a 1am flight out of here, not thinking about the fact that it's 4am at home. Haven't adapted that quickly!

A question for the hive mind: does anyone know what metro stores (e.g. a servo chain, supermarket etc) reliably sell bags of ice blocks? as in, one big block, not ice cubes?
