Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
I’m heading out to dins with the fam (and my bro+his fiancé). Just rocked up…
Things are already so tense and I’m the only one here…
Stay chooned.
Blink if you need help
Good luck in there!
Need updates. Has anyone lost it yet?
Still waiting for the sparky. I am hungry.
sparky will arrive the moment you start heating the ingredients
No cooking involved today. Bread rolls and a cup of soup.
For real? It’s home time
Not for him
Shithead cat was super comfy and marked me with his butt-gland. Disgoostang!
That could be your OnlyFans angle. Get that paper hustla
Still recovering from an ear and chest infection. Just finished my course of antibiotics so only upwards from here right?!
…Right?
Long day at work though. Full day workshop and people were starting to wane by about lunch time. Got home, had a nap, just finished some online gaming with friends and will probably crash soon.
Very much looking forward to the weekend.
gentle hugs for you too, take care
Thank you, it’s very much appreciated!
Also realising that being sick I’m not socialising which is just shit for my mental health
Personally if I was running a hotel I would not torture my guests with outdoor white lighting as strong as the sun, and curtains with an immeasurable amount of light gaps.
Chump chops are my favorite. Easy to cook, rich in lamb flavour. Convince me different.
The sharp bones 😭
chump chops don’t have sharp bones. Just little round ones with marrow in them.
When a bunch of bills come out and I’m left with negative $28 in the bank until Friday.
disclaimer: not asking for donations, just ranting and whining lol
Edit: swallowed my pride and asked Dad for help again. I wish I was dead ffs
I will donate a poem.
Dog, fire, hat, cup.
Things are fucked up.
This means everything to me 😍
I give a haiku.
The cup of coffee is full.
It will be alright.
How are you seeing me drinking my coffee rn 👀
I installed a pinhole camera.
🕳️
there’s your first customer
💰
You’ll be fine, you could buy 12kg of potatoes from Coles with that and still have $1 left over!
Oh I don’t have $28; I have negative $28 lol. I’m thinking I’ll create an onlyfans… seems like I might actually need a side hustle…
sell your bathwater and old knickers 👍
Oh, I missed the “negative” bit! That’s a bit harder. Maybe you could set up an onlyfans with a live potato feed. That constant tension of never knowing exactly when the potato is going to be popped into the microwave and then consumed, it would draw tons of people in surely.
there are definitely people who would pay to watch Spud eat a potato.
I wish I was rich. Not even to buy status symbol bullshit or luxuries. I’d sort basic needs for myself and my pet, get in a more stable position from scrambling for survival and then help others. Fucking fund food relief, accommodation, DV resources and animal shelters.
The conditions that have been created through greed are shameful in an affluent first world country (and unfortunately I’m not currently able to do much)
I used to wish I was rich enough to help people, now I wish society was rich enough that people didn’t need help.
Cat TMI
Poor Melbcat is still in difficulty. Tomorrow morning she’s got a date with the vet, getting put under anaesthetic so they can clear the problem.
gentle hugs for you all
Sometimes you’ve just tried so, so hard, and thought you’d done the best you could, and it still isn’t enough… and you’re so over it that then there is a flooding of relief when you accept that that’s all you can do, and it’s okay to rest, and stop trying to work so hard, and refocus.
It sounds like your boss is a jerk who is trying to constructively dismiss you
When the day has me broken and beat, I listen to Nickel Creek and all worries melt away.
Who knew a guitar, a mandolin, and a violin could sound so damn good 😍
Love it 😍
So dinner with fam was great.
Was expecting something ehh (with all the marriage thing with bro and fiancée) but I was wrong.
Lovely night.
Edit I’m not wrong in the long term though. trust yo’ gut
Three little sproots.

Ok so confession time. I didn’t do my exercises today. This morning was a hustle of getting kids out of the door, arguments about why school attendance is required, picking up things Mr Peeler knocked over (he wobbles around with a walking stick and a lot of back pain, also on antibiotics for chest infection). Very busy day at work, lots of busy busy busy type things with pizza bases, potatoes, and all that cleaning which constantly must be done. Then after work trying to cook dinner, having people pop in and stay for over an hour at an awkward time (they were trying to go but the kids wouldn’t!), and Mr Peeler deciding he was going to eat something different and in the process accidentally breaking the handles off my 2 main saucepans when he dropped them. He was highly apologetic and angry with himself, and feeling useless. I was remarkably calm about the whole thing. So now I only have a tiny saucepan and a gigantic saucepan left from the set. I didn’t have buying saucepans on my bingo card for this week.
Lucky I remembered to put the bins out, usually Mr Ps job but I can’t have him wobbling about trying to put overfull bins out and having a fall, which has happened before. He went to the Dr today because he’s in such pain and they told him he’s on too many tablets as it is, and he can’t get a medication review until November.
After I cleaned up the saucepans and accompanying mess, my oldest had a headache related meltdown and my youngest had a meltdown because she wanted to play with her friends longer. Everyone was put to bed a while ago and I’m now in bed thinking and enjoying the quiet, and it’s Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. I’ll have to do an intense HIIT or something to make up for it all.
Ah bugger, Mr Peeler is in the kitchen deciding to fetch himself some cereal snack. Rustle rustle clink clatter.
I’m just venting. Goodnight all.
No wonder. With all that how are you expected to have any time and energy to yourself to do extra things? Especially with others actively creating more work.
It isn’t even a second shift anymore. It’s just constant multitasking, mental load and full on physical exertion. What’s expected from mums these days is unreasonable.
A pharmacist may also be able to do a tablet review. Their education is massively underutilised as pick packers.

the point is that it’s childish and unreasonable to expect someone to answer you when you want, on your timetable
a call or message is not a summons
people will answer when they are ready
