Today has been awful. Which is pretty rare for me to say honestly.
I want to go back to bed and not wake up until tomorrow.
Also we have some newbies to the crew above.
TheWitchofThornbury 5 points a year ago
Could you be coming down with a plain old fashioned cold? That can really stuff up all the other things, particularly if you haven't had one for a while.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt 4 points a year ago
Could very well be. I've got a pizza in the oven. Time for a bath, some food and reading in bed till I pass out.

I've made some progress on sorting my sewing room. Unfortunately the shelves I was hoping to use inside the cupboard won't work - the shelves are the right size, but once assembled I won't have room to manoeuvre them in. I have a couple more shelves to assemble and can then start putting more things away.
I'm behind where I would like to be, but I think I can get all the boxes cleared from the lounge room and tidy up the worst of the empty box collection before the rental inspection tomorrow. It is nice having the lounge room more clear and open again, but I need to move all the furniture now that I'm not having to accomodate a wall of boxes.
RustyRaven 3 points a year ago
No, it's a built in and the framing for the doors reduces the size of the opening slightly. Plus they have gone for the cheapest possible wardrobe insert, which is a single shelf with hanging rail below it, and it has a divider panel in the middle to provide support to the shelf which also reduces the options for what you can put in there.

Aldi's $4 bottle of plonk. Pretty good. 5/5 drunken rants. 👍

Aldi plonk is great for the price, currently drinking a "the standing people" pinot noir from there, not bad

Want to get away with the wife for a few days, not that familiar with the outskirts of Melbourne. Anyone know any good spots where mushrooms might still be in season? Is mount Dandenong any good for that?
TheWitchofThornbury 7 points a year ago
Look up Trentham and Mount Macedon. It's a bit late in the season for those kind of mushrooms, but you might get lucky. Nice bushwalking though.

Yeah, that'd definitely do it. The times I've been stressed out on long PT trips (excluding delays, bad weather, external factors), it's often been because of the others on the bus or train and my own often subconscious tension/discomfort

Im close to a food coma at the moment, have to go back to work tomorrow though.
I tried to put on my boots and it wasn’t easy and Im not even sure I could walk with them on with my toe still swollen and very uncomfortable.
MeanElevator 4 points a year ago
Can't recall if you did or not, but have you had an x-ray?
StudChud 6 points a year ago
Regardless of whether you broke it or not, just immobilising it by taping it to the toe next to it would help. If it is broken, moving it around will impede its healing.
Drs won't do too much for a broken toe unless it's the big toe. 99% sure I broke mine stubbing it against the camphor chest I have, but I just taped it to the toe next to it for a few weeks/months, and it healed okay (there's still a bump either side but it works lol).
This is just my anecdotal experience.
Duenan 3 points a year ago
Ah ok. Just dealing also with a lifted toenail issue. Only a minor and small one apparently so I’ve had to put dressing on.
Think part of the dressing is too fat as well because of the padding and too long.
I really hope it’s not broke or fractured.
MeanElevator 4 points a year ago
I guess if you can bend the toe it's probably not broken. Could still be fractured though.
Most likely it's just a bad bump that needs more time to heal.
anotherspringchicken 3 points a year ago
Keep an eye on it for any infection - that can be a problem in fingers and toes, and you need to get onto it quickly

What's a guilty pleasure song?
StudChud 4 points a year ago
A song by an artist whom you
- don't agree with their morals/actions
- don't like any other song they've released
- in a genre that you might not listen to a lot
That's just my own definition, really, and the song can meet all or just one of those points. I don't like Nicki as a person, she's awful, and I don't like her other songs. I do listen to the genre though.
I mean, I love Anaconda so much I can sing it off by heart 😂 the music video is hot AF as well
CEOofmyhouse56 7 points a year ago
Oh right.
I like The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson when I hear it on the radio. Good beat by a creepy cunt.

My neighbour's dog is howling its little brains out and I can't understand why they're letting this noise continue. I've never heard it do this before. Either way, it's bloody annoying when I'm trying to work. Headphones on!

I have somehow managed to lose a sewing machine. I know it is here somewhere, but I'm a bit perplexed about where given I brought it up seperately and put it in the sewing room myself.

The other day I went through bags of baby clothes. They were in vac sealed bags and out of the way but thought it was time to get rid of them. I kept a couple of things and some crochet blankets my sister made.
Now I find out how many bags I can fit in my car and how many attempts to reverse my car out of the yard without hitting the gate.
MeanElevator 4 points a year ago
Reverse your car into the driveway next time.
Problem solved!!
CEOofmyhouse56 4 points a year ago
It's not in the driveway, it's in the yard. I think I will reverse it in though on the way back.
RustyRaven 5 points a year ago
Sewing machine has been located. Exactly where I thought it should be, in a place I had looked multiple times. It was in a bag and I thought it was something else but didn't open to check.

Movie review
The Defiant Ones with Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier
It's been a very long time since I last watched this Stanley Kramer movie ( I recommend all Kramer movies ) .
I grew up watching post wwii social justice movies, now this comes across to me as a bit too simplistic and maybe we don't need such story telling about racism and bigotry any more
but then maga and russia and palestine, so maybe we need it just as much as we ever did
it's that realism style, few beautiful landscape shots, just people against a gritty background, the beauty is in the developing relationship between the two main characters

tv review
Justice on Trial. J Judith Sheindlin re-enacts and editorialises some famous and some not so famous court cases that question the morality of the justice system.
Not a bad show if you like that sort of thing.

useless_modern_god 4 points a year ago
I should watch the Defiant Ones. I haven’t seen that one. I watched The Deer Hunter yesterday for the second time. It won 5 academy awards and I can’t figure out why., maybe the US was still grappling with the aftermath of the war in Vietnam and the story touched that nerve. But my god it’s WAY too long. The wedding scene alone is almost an hour long .

It worked in a way. It'll take another week or 2 to break out of the habit of waking up, but I fell immediately back to sleep when I did wake up.
Success.
