I've finally installed a Lemmy app on the iPhone. Without an app I kept not coming here unless I was on a computer. I don't know which one is the best so I picked mlem which looks pretty decent so far.
Ding ding coming to you live from the 11 tram!
I cannot win. Yesterday I went down to the docs to get my blood tested to see how tasty it is, only to be told that they're at capacity for the day (11am) and come back another day.
Today I go in, take a number and get called in only to be told that I've OVER FASTED by an hour or so. I had no idea you could over fast for a blood test. Apparently the sweet spot is between 8 and 12 hours of fasting and I was on hour 15. The lab generally doesn't do tests over 14 hours.
And today is my last day in Melton so I'm going to have to come back another time, which isn't so bad because I can come visit my family. I wasn't going to see the doc again to get results for a month so I'll just do it on one of the weekends coming up I guess.
Annoying because I psyched myself up for the needle.. twice.. I am historically not great with needles/having blood drawn.
lol I think nearly all of us can relate to that
Hell I don't even need to go that far back...
Felt gross so I'm hydrating like a mofo today. I think maybe that was the issue.
No adventures for me this weekend either. Staying put and keeping it really low key. Trying not to get too much in my own head about things progressing. I'm scared but also excited. I've spent so much time on my own for way too long that I just hope I can come back from it without being a weirdo.. well, the weird kind of weirdo anyway I've always been a goofy weirdo.
I used cold brew instead of water in my vanilla manshake and it's not bad! If I post "help help" in about 30 minutes then I'm having a little bit of a heart attack so please send help.
As wrecked as I've been this week thanks to starting on Wegovy, I've booked myself a room up in Beechworth for tomorrow and it's non-refundable so that will force me out of my apartment. I'll pop into the Billson's brewery tomorrow afternoon and then chill tf out on the room balcony which overlooks some pretty countryside.
Sunday I'll get up early, go and spend some time looking at Woolshed Falls then drive to Yackandandah and finally see it. I've lined up a place to grab a coffee and breakfast there.
That's as far as I've gotten. As always plans are subject to change (besides the accommodation) because I'm free to do what I want any old time.
I just dreamt about the end of the world. It was really cinematic and had a cast of characters, none of them me but at times I was each of the characters. It had a series of time jumps and stories playing out about their lives before the finale which was in the future where there were millions of satellites in the night's sky. They were all different colours and shapes and clusters and zipped by closer than felt comfortable. Then they'd found a way to project a reflection of the earth in the sky so you could see all of the countries, and did a presentation on them which felt like a "thank you for your time here on earth, humans" where they showcased humanity over the years from every walk of life. It was all very impressive but it also felt very βbig corporationβ which felt fitting for where weβre headed.
Then during a random moment of conversation with one of the aged characters, one of the only remaining original ones who hadn't died off, the waves came. The first was large enough to know it was about to be the end. Then right after it the character was floating and could see the second world ender coming, gasped and then lights out and I woke up.
I haven't even talked about the story of her life or her late husband's life which was its own thing. There was sadness, redemption, fame, failure, regret and wrestling. And randomly, a pool of hippos which was under their huge warehouse where they lived. You could get to it from under their bed. Weird.
Anyway I just kinda wanted to journal this because it was kind of epic. It even had side characters who felt like they had their own journies over the time jumps, or had their own troubles which were suddenly gone and seemed trivial but also not trivial at the time, but were just the past after the time jumps and those characters had passed.
All done with my meetings for today. Sadly there has been a casualty though as I somehow tore a big hole in one of my pairs of Melbourne Storm bamboo cotton boxers. Not where you'd think either.. it's almost up near my left hip. Anyways RIP boxers, you touched me in tender places and held me close.
Agreed. It sparked the vigilante in me and a lot of others in there.
I'm set up with my laptop in the customer lounge of the Subaru service centre while my car gets its first service. They're using the "Public Transport" heater setting so it's a billion degrees in here. Otherwise it's actually not too bad.. there are free drinks, snacks and WiFi!

I live there and it's fine? Green spaces. Community library/basketball/soccer/netball/whatever courts. Movies. Supermarkets. Shops. Quiet. Free PT to CBD. Not sure what you want to walk out onto the street to but this sounds like a reverberation of generic potentially outdated opinions about the place. I'd say the only thing it lacks these days are night spots. There's 1 or 2 around but it's not like it used to be with the clubs and pub on central pier.
