    Woke up overheated. Went outside for a breath of air - there is no wind. Feels quite warm compared to yesterday.

      thought this (that it’s relatively warm) on my walk this morning. I am routinely out by about 5:15: last two days have been absolutely frigid. Today was just standard cool.

      Temperature’s warmer than yesterday by a couple of degrees but it seems colder. 🥶

    Whilst I’m positive about my plans for the future in general I’m a bit apprehensive about moving house too. It’s all the little changes, stuff like where the teaspoons are is pretty much muscle memory now, I’ve been in the same place for 18 years now so the little routines are quite ingrained. Plus I have to get used to sharing space again and all the compromises that entails. All while reassuring a cat and dog who will also be stressed by the transition.

    At least by the time everything is sorted out to actually make a move it should be Spring, so I won’t have to contend with either freezing cold or boiling hot temperatures.

      Honestly it really comes down to people. The people have made for some of the best times of my life living in sharehouses. But conversely, laying on the couch and finding a condom wrapper you didnt use is NOT fun. Living with teenagers sucks.

        I managed to mostly miss the sharehouse situations, other than a year in student residence. The idea of a living in a standard sharehouse fills me with horror. I’m moving in with Mum which will make it a bit different, especially as she is starting to need help so I will over time end up taking over all the work of cooking etc. I’ve spent many years perfecting my techniques for cooking for one, now I have to cook for two, plus take into account someone else’s preferences (and dental challenges). A sharp learning curve awaits - along with a major re-evaluation of my kitchen container collection! Hopefully she retains ability to do some cooking for as long as possible though - even if I have to partially pre-pepare meals in advance the idea of being able to go home after work to dinner underway at least occassionally definitely appeals.

          I used to make a standard size family recipe and immediately freeze the extra in individual portions to microwave later. It was great even as a single person.

          If you guys have a few meals that suit you both that could work.

          (You don’t have to eat the same thing every day, you can add different meals as convenient if there’s room)

      Semi related…I heard a random ad on a podcast today saying that a cup of vinegar in the wash is better than fabric softener. I don’t use fabric softener, but I don’t know where I want to test the vinegar thing…you know, in case the towels come out smelling like vinegar…?

        nope, it gets washed out in the rinse. I always fill the softener in my top loader with white vinegar.

        They don’t. Add to the rinse water, and the smell is gone by the time the spin cycle has finished. I second this hack - vinegar does wonderful things to hair as a rinse too. Unless your hair is coloured, where a vinegar rinse wouldn’t help at all. Mine isn’t coloured, so I rinse with a generous tablespoon of vinegar to 1 litre of water after shampooing, and don’t need conditioner. At first you notice the smell, but it’s gone in 5 minutes. The mild acid neutralises the soap part of washing powder and hair shampoo.

        Surprisingly, no. You can’t smell the vinegar, even with excessive amounts.

        I personally wouldn’t use a whole cup full, but it’s fantastic for getting funky smells out of things

    There was a kid in the ER last night with the same name as my kid. He had his hand smashed with a brick at school and he was still waiting after we left. Poor little fella was OVER it and just wanted to go to bed, hope he is ok.

    My landlord is actually really good. House is pretty shit but he’s a really chill guy. Feel pretty lucky. I wish I could transport this place about 10kms closer to the city.

    Now this hotel doesn’t have very good soundproofing (at this point I don’t believe any building in Australia does) and I can hear everything happening in the hallway and the rooms next to me. BUT I’ve got a splitty in my room and I set it to come on if it goes under 19 and this is great. So much easier to wake up when it’s not like 5° in your room

    I still couldn’t get a very good sleep though. Dozed off again at 5:30 or so and woke up again now. But tonight I’ll have a better sleep
