If my passport scanned in Dandenong South at 1:30pm today and I live in Melton, I ain't getting it today even though it says "it's coming today" am I?

Holy crap. My pakidge might actually get to me tomorrow.

Come on come on!

I've been out and got some sun but now back in the hot office I'm feeling awfully sleepy. zzzzzz. Hard to look at spreadsheets and figure out what I'm doing. Can I knock off early today? One only hopes so.

Yay, 10° feels like 7° and I've got the window open and a t-shirt on because I'm hot

I had a small coughing episode while bending over to clean a water spill on the floor and got the worst cramp in my side hip / lower stomach area. Incredible pain for around 30 seconds and then it was done. It’s still a bit sore now.

Cramps are the absolute worst. Don’t get them often, but when they happen they feel like 10/10 pain level.

May have a water leak in the wall? Noticed the skirting board has warped, and the bathroom door isn't closing properly.

The wall is part of the hallway, from the kitchen to the bathroom, and at either end the carpet is wet af. Like, I touch it and my hand may as well have been under a tap.

I don't fucking need this right now. I don't care that my LL would have to fix it, I just don't want them to kick us out while they do it. ARGHHHHHH!

When I was in Melbourne a few weeks back, I matched with someone a day or two before I flew back home. We didn't talk much (and didn't meet obviously) while I was there but we've spoken a lot since I got home, graduating to swapping phone numbers and texting. We even handwrite little notes and take a photo and send it to each other. We are planning on a video chat soon and meeting next time I am in Melbourne (assuming video chat goes well).

I like her a lot (so far) but the whole 'we live in different states' thing is really souring my hopes. There is nothing really tying her to Melbourne in terms of family and commitments, and she said she is actually able to work remotely so I guess that it is a possibility. I also said I would like to move back to Melbourne once I finish studying, but it would depend on if my daughter wants to as well.

I'm likely just setting myself up for heartbreak - especially with my history - but what is life if not trying things in the hopes it will all work out?

Anti-gratitude thread >:(

The downside of working in the office in winter is I simply don't have the capacity to make and eat breakfast - I refuse to eat a cold breakfast and I can barely get up in time to get to work on time, let alone allow for breakfast.

Pretty much every weekday I've ended up unintentionally fasting from like 8pm to 11am... I get around it with coffee but I don't think it's great for my mental health in the mornings.

I need to think of something that I can heat and eat in the car (for my job with the longer commute) or in the office (for the other job). Maybe leftover pasta/fried rice for brekky.

every time I visit Richmond the town seems a little poorer, more closed shops, more people in dire straits. Overheard some guys sitting around discussing their favourite home made dinners. ( The homeless don't cook. ) 😔
