    Got off work early though not as early as expected and ran in for a hair cut, no line, super fast.

    I’m not sure I like my cut but nothing can be done about it now.

    Not one of my usual barbers that I’d had before

    pain is tiring, sleep elusive

    first time in my life I fear getting old

    on a super positive note other than my back and a little fat I’m really physically healthy,

    Melbcat has a tummy ache and is ripping farts… her vet says she’s ok to monitor but I’m going to watch her and try to sort out some help to take her back to the vet if this keeps going. I can’t give her metacam in case that’s the issue so I’m going to heat up her tiny personal wheatbag

    Edit: She’s still eating well and jumps at the rustle of treats

    I’m really so bloody tempted by those “free return” Jetstar flights to Japan on sale right now. I wanna go. But I should find a job first or some other way of covering my rent between now and then. Argh

    Housemate and I are having a watch TV and work from the couch day.

    In this show we are watching the main character randomly ended up pregnant at the start of the season, and my housmate pointed out how when an actress is actually pregnant they do this weird thing were they do the opposite of over act being pregnant. Now I can’t unsee how much it’s all underplayed, like God forbid anyone including the actress acknowledge the baby for more than a millisecond. I mean, I get it, but its weird once you notice it.

    Feeling really low today. The last month has been really tough, leaving Venice, the first city where I made great friends and felt like I belonged. Then, right before Christmas, I lost my beloved Nonna. I have been so busy I have just been pushing through and not thinking about it, but I feel it today. At least the PhD work today is funnish finishing off the speech and PowerPoint for a conference next week, I always enjoy making powerpoints.

      Do you think you’ll head back to Venice in the near future? It sounds like you’d love to go back and stay for a while. If you’re under 30 maybe you could go on a working holiday visa.

        In the midst of my citizenship application (it was actually approved, but nonna dying means I need to resubmit the documents), I am doing everything I can to be able to go back permanently it’s where I want to spend the rest of my life. Just difficult cause there is only one Uni there, so academic work is limited, so I need to really get in the good books with that one uni lol.

          I totally forgot you had citizenship by descent as an option. Well it sounds like you’re on your way there and ticking all the right boxes - that’s got to be something very exciting to look forward to once you’ve finished your PhD! Would you be trying to take the cats over?

    That’ll teach me to check my roster first thing - I got dressed for work, opened the app and realised that I don’t have any clients today - my normal Tuesday morning is now Wednesday, at least for this week.
    At least when I phoned the office to double check the receptionist and I had a good laugh together.

    Observations for today:

    • clothing with brand names plastered all over it is vulgar and tacky
    • I saw a bottle of Dove body wash in Woolworths today for seventeen dollars …honestly getting fisted would be less painful than buying that.
    • apparently it’s going to get to 38 degrees on Sunday? We’ll see. Some of these forecasts lately have a habit of being very changeable.

      I’m very sus about that Saturday forecast too, but I’ll be planning to have a quiet day at home with the AC nevertheless.

      As for body washes - people are asking to be ripped off buying them at RRP at Colesworths. Either go to Chemist Warehouse/Big W or wait for the inevitable 50% off. Or if you don’t mind grey imports, go to The Reject Shop.

        Like we all know Colesworth is a rip off but when I saw that price tag I thought it was particularly egregious.

      I really dislike clothes with brand names all over; gives me serious ick about the person. Like, stop paying to advertise a company that doesn’t give one shit about you (general “you”, not you you lol)

        I understand why poorer people buy name brand name clothes.

        They can’t take the risk that something they buy will be crappy as they can’t buy again. So they buy brand names where they know what quality they are getting.

        They do the same for food too.

        Agreed and they haven’t thought put anything into the design. They’ve gone some idiot will buy this if we slap our logo on it.

      Could be a good weekend to plan for a doona, blanket and rug wash marathon. Possibly go through the linen cupboard and give EVERYTHING a wash & do a general audit thereof. Then donate the unused and unnecessary items.
      Re clothing with brand names - do band t-shirts count as such?

        if you have any of those old ugly dancing bear tees that no one wants and which are very unwanted and unfashionable I would take them off your hands but only if you ask nicely

        A band tshirt not as bad. There’s usually some effort of design involved and most bands aren’t multinational corporations. They actually produce something meaningful.

    The kitchen is immaculately clean. Time to buy dinner so it can stay clean for at least a few hours.

    Ugh. I showered before bed but was so exhausted I accidentally fell asleep with wet hair. Rewashed it, gave it a rinse of apple cider vinegar and dried it right away with the hairdryer - all of which should hopefully avoid any resulting scalp issues.

    I’m still tired. Really overdid it yesterday around the house

    So that Amazon order that was delayed from last Thursday, the one that I was going to get a refund for today, finally turned up at 7.59pm last night. Phew.
