Got it on.
The stream was really struggling during the womenโs match.
The Puerto Rican was robbed.
Was that the one that ended in a split decision?
No the women that was just on.
My friend has helped me move out about 70% of my stuff (deadset legend).
But I have vastly underestimated how much stuff I have, and how much stuff I can realistically store at this next place...
I am REALLY working hard to keep myself together. Wow this is a huge huge downgrade. I really did not prepare myself for this. Even my friend looked at the other place and (reluctantly, after I was whinging) said "yeah... it's a place to crash at after a long day, not a home - it's a good thing you're only there for six months".
The plan will work, I just need to get everything out of here by the 19th. I will cull and sell further once it's been moved, none of it is too heavy.
Iโm really sorry. I know how it is to live somewhere you hate.
Re the fridge, I used to live somewhere the kitchen was so small it didnโt account for a fridge (literally no place for even a bar fridge - not built to accommodate one) so I kept my fridge nearby in the lounge. If it turns out that the fridge just doesnโt fit you can get creative or you could use a buy nothing/swap site to get a smaller one just to last you for the 6 months.
(If you have the money you can be a little lenient on convenience/tinned/fast foods just until you get out of there, or cook one pot food. Snacks help greatly.)
Iโm sure Givit would take the big fridge, and perhaps the drawers(?). You might get a tax discount for the donations too.
This might not be legal in Australia bc food safety but in Slav countries the washing machine is in the kitchen with hot plates sitting on top because of space and also thatโs where the plumbing allows it to be.
And this is hypocritical because I am a packrat/clutterbug when space allows - but I definitely did have ways of storing things/things I would cook or ways of doing things that helped me manage in a small place. Hit me up if you want some tips.
Just focus on survival for now, youโre in a great position to move in with family and save up for a strong return. Itโs a lot easier to tolerate a bad situation if thereโs an end date in sight.
Edit: I also know that Diabetes Victoria does pickups of clothes and other stuff, and there was a thing I used where you could download a prepaid postage label and mail donations to the Iconic.
However if itโs too much hassle or you donโt have time just do whatever you have to do. I should have thought to tell you this stuff earlier
so many hugs
And let this new place be a home, just a little home, get to know your new neighbourhood and some local people. Try to keep some of your old habits. It will be fine. ๐
๐ The season has arrived ๐
I just bought half a kilo of cherries for my pocket change. I am delighted
Yes!! Cherries, nectarines & asparagus.
Movie Review. Moon with Sam Rockwell. Pretty harrowing . I love how these guys are still so very human. Will watch again, I expect it's one of those movies that you think about.
3.5 hobbits
TV Review. Benidorm. Amazon.
I just couldn't watch it so I watched every first episode and the last. Too histrionic for me but I can see how this series is made with love and respect for those who like the all inclusive holiday camp holidays.
2 hobbits tho it must have appealed to many as it had 10 series made.
I really enjoyed Moon. I saw it in the cinema with no clue going in. We actually missed the start of the movie we were going to see because of traffic so decided to see it instead as it hasn't started.
I feel like the internet has turned really shit and at some point itโll be so user unfriendly that itโs barely usable. I miss past eras of it (well the ones Iโm old enough to have known) and the niches I like of current day are the ones most similar to that. I want to go back.
Lemmy is like a cosy comforting old school forum.
I miss when I scrolled I saw memes and not 4-year-old reposts. But I guess itโs good I donโt spend much time scrolling now.
I think I need to spend less time scrollingโฆ it just sucks that Outside is hostile
Might have missed the mechanic to grab the car. Fingers crossed he left it outside ๐ค๐พ
Edit: nvm it's waiting for me!!!!
Just don't grab the corrola.
Instructions unclear. Grabbed a ~~koala~~ drop bear.
Went to The Glen, came out with a bag full of soju and snacks after eating skewers and onigiri while there. Mmmhmm!
What flavours of soju?
Ps. There's a yogurt one that tastes like yakult
I've currently got lychee, apple, passionfruit, peach, original, guava in the fridge. I want to try honeydew melon but haven't found it yet. Haven't tried any of the yoghurt flavoured ones, but did once try a choc mint one which was very, very confusing for my mouth. What's your fav? I had a strawberry one last weekend, wish I'd nabbed another of that! Boyo is currently in love with jelly sake, so we got some peach, apple and plum cans of that!
They're all my favourite. Strawberry is good. Peach and plum probably my least favourites. I need to try passionfruit now.
Got flowers todayโฆ Nothing like feeling you are seen. ๐ค
Also, they are massiveโฆ Like I had to dig out my 50+ cm vase for them.
Feel absolutely blessed. A millions miles from how Iโve felt the last couple of days.
Lovely!
Thanks, CEO! ๐ค
Those look absolutely amazing, where are they from as I'd like to order something similar for my partner?
Iโve asked! Iโll let you know.
Thank you so much!
Tribal Rose on Smith Street.
They asked for something dark and gothic. โบ๏ธ
Life lesson for today. When you buy a remnant of corduroy to make something, please please please zigzag the edges BEFORE pre-washing it. I am now going to have to run a cleaning cycle on my washing machine which I did not plan to do today. The lint was abominable.
