    I realised I have next to no winter clothes that are appropriate for work. I own a couple of zip jackets and a puffer jacket but nothing that screams professional clothing.

    Now is not a great time to buy winter stuff as it’s the start of the season. Silly me should have thought about this in the middle of summer.

      I think I’ve put on about 10kg this year and I don’t think most of my winter stuff will fit well anymore. Oh well. I’m a new KMart devotee so stuff is cheap enough

      Start of the season is the only time I can find my size. Mid season all the bigger sizes have been sold out.

    We watched Flow this morning. The animated movie about the cat.

    Not quite as kid friendly as Wallace and Gromit, but an interesting movie. We had to leave early so I’m keen to see how it finishes.

    It’s dialogue free and doesn’t beat you over the head with story so it’s like watching a cinematic playthrough of a game like Journey. I want the boys to watch it when their a bit older to get their takes on the places, animals, and the world. It’s a great movie to get their minds going

      I have been avoiding it because from previews it looks like a sad movie where bad things happen to animals, so not something I want see in my current mood. I don’t actually know anything about it though, it’s the vibe I got? If you tell me it’s happy I’ll see it.

        It’s good and not too sad, but some of the ways they chose to block things makes it really stressful.

        It’s not 90 minutes of animated animal torture. The cat just needs to be continually put in a situation for the tension to keep up.

        We didn’t catch the end but it wasn’t overly sad up to that point. It has a really hopeful vibe and a lighter tone.

        It’s like, just because it’s an animated motive it’s not completely for kids.

      My gran’s nicest dog was called Flow, probably short for Florence. I remember cuddling with that dog on the porch at her place in Jerilderie.

        There’s a Labrador in the movie that has that same comfy friendly vibe. It’s nice when things like this movie can remind you of the good times with animals

    Goodnight all. Glad to see the arse end of this weekend tbh. Such awesome weather and I still felt like it was one step forward and two back in my pursuit of domestic glory lol. At least I got most of the laundry done I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️ Catchya on the flipside 🤙🏼

      Domestic glory be dammed… I spent the whole weekend avoiding all domestic chores and traipsed the city eating and shopping instead. I’ll pay for it later in the week, and had to scrounge through the unfolded laundry for work and school uniforms, and the house looks like a bomb hit it.

    I’ve done too much doom scrolling this morning. Now that my morning coffee is kicking in I think it’s time to switch to my book. It’s one of the old fashioned paper varieties, and although the content is interesting having to constantly hold it open is tedious, the screen resolution is not that great and there is no ability to change the font size in settings.

    Sigh. Remembered that I saw a moth or two flying around… I forgot to freeze my dry goods to kill any eggs from the supermarket and then didn’t keep them sealed properly. -_- Persistent little bastards.

    Whatever, I’ll throw the food out. I won’t eat it anyway. Hopefully there aren’t any clothes moths because I am not hot washing and drying everything and vacuuming is a stress on the cat

    I need to clean this place though -_-

      Better fucking not be clothes moths!

      Bunnings has pheromone glue traps for pantry moths as well, if you find you’re seeing those bastards!

        packing my husbands armani and boss suits

        no matter how much I nagged him to look after them I found some moth eaten pants on the floor of his wardrobe where they had fallen😠

        I would chase every moth , told him to as well, I put up traps and deterrents, I tried to make sure the doors were closed, he just doesn’t seem able or just doesn’t care . Same with his jumpers.

        Yeah I’ve got the traps in the pantry already. They might be intended more as detectors but I reason if male moths are getting stuck it might help disrupt the breeding

          Nice! And that’s it exactly! As long as some get stuck, then they won’t breed!

          My clothes moths traps have trapped so many! I’m planning on buying more to get as many as possible! It’s a great method and means you’re not using insect spray (which isn’t great for humans, and definitely not cats!)

    stress and optimism

    Have been waking up at 4am almost every night over the past few weeks. Probably stressed about all the undone things, and the uncertainty of the future. I can manage this by breaking tasks down even further. Having 100s of pages of readings to do and five 2k word assignments is a recipe for overwhelm.

    Tomorrow, I will be looking at my calendar and prioritising stuff. Also setting achievable tasks for the week. This is my time to prove to myself that I CAN do time management.

    Also mindfulness. That involves listening to music, playing music, and engaging my senses.

    Had a big cry today, which I hope will be the culmination of the rude night time awakenings. I’ve cried 19 times YTD, compared to 38 times last year and 25 times in 2023. I am SO glad I no longer have Wrong Relationship-itis.

    Peace ✌️

      Seeing that muppet song made me think I’ve never seen the muppet show properly, only snippets here and there. It feels so familiar because it’s everywhere in pop culture. Looked it up, and it’s on Disney! Have added to my watch list.

      Severance spoiler

      Have had a few days to digest the season finale and I am satisfied it was a good ending. Questions were answered. Lots of unexpected blood. Accidental death of Mr Drummond felt deserved. I’m not happy about innie Mark leaving Gemma at the door, but the alternative was his death and loosing Helly, so it was inevitable. Michick and marching band rocked.

        Hehehe i’m old enough to have grown up on original muppets. Saw that clip as a kid whilst sitting at my little wooden table, eating off my Skippy plate, ruined the song before it ever had a chance.

        spoiler

        Honestly, i hope there’s no s3. Prisoner ending fits perfectly

      omg…lol

      severance definitely needs the muppet treatment 🙂

      Helly is so obviously Miss Piggy

      Mark is Kermit

      Dylan is Fossie Bear

      Irving is the Eagle

        I have notes

        Helena is miss piggy. Helly is not.
        Mark is deffo kermit.
        Dylan hits me more as Rowlf. Nominally inflappable but when he goes. He goesss. Alternatively he and Irving end up as Waldorf and Statler.
        Melchik is Scooter. You can’t change my mind.

    I’m over my uni fieldwork for sure (it’s such a long drive just to get to the start of this second section…) but what I do love is that it’s a good few hours off my device; and these past two nights I’ve been meeting my old school friend visiting from overseas, which has been a really really good balm for my soul…

    …my lack of hydration earlier in the day is definitely catching up with me though. Owwww headache owwww… back out in the field for work tomorrow so I need an early night…
