    Oooh, apparently the final season of Snowpiercer is going to begin releasing next month! Oh I’m so excited, I was so pissed off with how it was cancelled right on a cliffhanger.

    It’s one of my favourite shows, probably because

      Oh shit i gotta get back into that. I stopped watching for a bit to build up an episode bank as i was watching s1 as it came out, then forgot.

      …in my defense large chunks of my life have imploded in the interim.

        Season 1 kind of sucked imo. If you get past the first few episodes it gets much better. But the way season 3 ended annoyed me because it wasn’t meant to be ended on season 3, so it finished on a cliffhanger. Now that season 4 is back in business, I don’t mind so much

    So one of the things I found out while cleaning out the garage was that my old childhood teddy had been left out there - and of course in a spot where it leaked 😖.
    A soak and then a run through the washing machine on a gentle cycle didn’t shift the dirt, so I tried putting him in another pillowcase and running the normal cycle - which got the dirt out but also half the stuffing.
    Any suggestions for repairs? I seem to remember there was a discussion recently about it.

      Here’s a good guide. https://www.instructables.com/Stuffed-Animal-Restoration/

      However a seam ripper might be safer than an exacto knife if you have one. Pick a relatively straight/flat seam to open just to make it easy on yourself when closing him back up. I’d also recommend not wringing his casing out but rolling him in a towel and pressing that under a book to remove water, and then air drying. (Wringing can stretch out fabric and dryers can cause shrinkage or permanent shiny spots where the faux fur got flat ironed against the hot drum.)

      If you feel a bit out of your depth or don’t want to take your chances you can take him to the Doll Hospital https://thedollhospital.com.au/

    I decided due to my current cough/sniffle combination to call in sick for tomorrow. Risotto will be cooked in a few minutes and I plan to waste the rest of the evening watching videos before going to bed happily knowing I can sleep in as long as I want to. It would be a lot more relaxing plan if I didn’t keep sneezing. Mr Woof is not a fan of sneezes and has already evacuated the lounge room.

    I was just thinking… imagine heaven like they show in movies and shows and stuff where there are people in white clothes up amongst the clouds with harps and stuff. Except imagine the weather is like it actually is at that altitude. Just super windy and really cold.

    Anyway just thinking about my grandad. Miss you, pop.

      pair of fingerless gloves from reject shop is a game changer! If you have a small room you can close the door on you’d be surprised how fast the computer warms the space up too.

    It turns out it was option D - the option I never mentioned.

    They’re going to move him out, but not yet. They said he currently has a 2 week transition to the next place, but that still needs to be officially confirmed. Apparently it won’t be longer.

    In the meantime it looks like I’ll be staying in this hotel. Although I did ask if I may be able to move to one with a washing machine because I don’t want to have to handwash things.

    Apparently they also told the other kid a number of my concerns I’d expressed in my email (but hadn’t actually told him) and he got angry and started threatening me. So that’d probably be why I’m staying here until he leaves. Before this we were on more of a neutral footing, now he has an active dislike for me. So that’s nice I guess

      That sounds like a pretty good result, all things considered. As much as living in a hotel in the short-term isn’t ideal, it’s your own space & safe.

      And not great that the kid’s now angry at you, but it sounds like you won’t have to see him again?

      Hopefully everything stabilises quickly.

        Hopefully. The timeline that’s been proposed is 2 weeks for him to transition elsewhere, but only 1 more week for me here. But that’s just what they’re starting with, there’s room for either side to change as needed

      Ugghh. They mismanaged the hell out of that and actively aggravated the situation. Whoever is doing this sucks at their job.

      Also this kid needs to take some responsibility - there were conditions for him living there so if he broke the rules and has cops coming around then that’s on him.

    It’s been a very exciting day today. I have folded laundry, emptied the cat litter bin and sprayed poison liberally around the yard. Now I’m pondering the question of whether to change into a slightly heavier top before walking the dog.

    Good morning friendship pals! The sun is shining(somewhere), the birds are chirping(but not so much), and HOPEFULLY my delivery is coming today. “Transferred at Sunshine West” yeah you BETTER BE.

    I had a dream where robots invaded the earth so that was cool and I fully support then in their hobbies.

      I ordered some sheets from Kmart almost a fortnight ago and had them redirected to my post office, but then a week ago it said it was “in transit” twice in my suburb and has never updated to say it’s arrived at my post office

        Did they send it via couriers please? Every time I’ve gotten something from them they have, and couriers please has managed to fuck something up.

          Nope this one’s through auspost. They did send me a heater through couriers please at the end of last month but they managed to fucking lose it so I ended up with no heater

            That sounds like them. I swear they’ve never managed to deliver anything well.

            One time they broke one delivery, and then broke the replacement that was sent.

      I’m actually wondering why today feels colder than any day in the recent weeks - that includes the coldest morning/day we experienced on 19th.

    Washed my hands after throwing away the corned beef plastic wrapper. Water was cold but think nothing of it. Realize I need to pee so I go to the bathroom, stand there, pull it out (as ya do) and then YELP and jump 20 feet into the air. Yeah so turns out the water had made my hands VERY cold…
