Decent sleep. Cool dreams - including snorkelling and seeing huge fish and whales. Went to the market with [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], and met the [REDACTED] there. Sent [REDACTED] on his first errand - to pick out a candle, pay for it, thank the seller, and return – by himself. Did pretty well. The candle he got was great. I burned it for three hours and it barely put a dent in the level of the wa...

Fell asleep so this posted after midnight. Doh.

Work. Cooked a couple of sides for a family dinner tonight. Not bad. Baby [REDACTED] arrived for her weekend visit. She’s so cuuuutte. Had a few holds. She came with me to take out the bin. I love her. Finally remembered to use a shovel from the back of Turket’s ute while he was here to dig away at the grass that has grown over the driveway on the south side. Got a fair chunk dug up. Was hard yakk...

Groggy. Work. Talk with manager went ok. Got a job finished, finally. Quite late unfortunately. Doh. Ate poorly. Didn’t close my rings on my watch. Bit flat. Was annoying in messages to people. Tried to go for a walk but felt a bit faint and lightheaded. Too warm and muggy today. First football game of the year sucked. Colleague is quitting a lot of things for Lent. Wholesome, cute. I’ve set a rem...

Work. Fucked it up, as usual. Day went quick, at least. A very recent arrival to our beautiful country from Afghanistan is doing her first day of paid work in Australia tomorrow - including some work on something that I commissioned today. “In times of plenty, build a longer table - not a higher fence.” Walk with mum and Ashlea [redacted] after work. Didn’t have dinner. Didn’t eat well today. Stil...

Hung around. [REDACTED] had a bit of an accident - and this was upsetting to folx. Which is always difficult. Went to the pub for a couple beers. Saw the lovely [REDACTED] for a burger on her way through town. Walked for a bit. Bit of a crappy day actually, all told. M: 3.5. E: 4. 😐😢😔

Lots of cuddling and holding through the night. God, that stuff is just the best. [REDACTED] is super pretty, so I was on cloud nine - peppering her with little kisses and quietly - and this is actually a very normal thing that people do - sniffing her while she dozed. Too cute. I’m not experienced at flings, so this is interesting. Food for thought. Slept in a bit. Quick BBQ’d protein. Fed the co...

Breakfast at Boxcar with [REDACTED]. Look at the dog training competition. Look at the rockpools. Mowed the lawn. Laundry. Fed the cows. Listened to lots of UYD. Went to the hot spring place with [redacted]. Got a few moments of blissing out there. Might have got a headache from relaxing my neck and shoulders too much. M: 7.5. E: 7. 🥰😍😇

Work. I’m so behind on some things. Eek. I didn’t realise that this is a long weekend coming up. Monday off. Radical! Visited the nephews for a game of UNO after work. Went for a solo walk. Finished and mostly really liked Clem Bastow’s Late Bloomer audiobook about getting an autism diagnosis later in life. My current lover [REDACTED] got an adult diagnosis recently so this was background research...

Work. Just verbatim cleaning all day. Was in the flow state with that most of the day. Nice and boring. Walked to Shelly Beach. The ledge/cliff/path area with that manhole shaped hole through it has broken and fallen into the sea. Sad! Used to love that bit. Watched some Hunger Games. Planted a bunch of seeds that sprouted on the window sill while I was away. Let’s see what the plants look like fr...

Slept so cosily. Some nice cuddling. My bike was outside and I kept thinking I was hearing it being stolen, so I woke up a lot of times through the night. Good dreams. Work. Stressful. I was in a funny mood most of the day. I think I had a really nice trip and had some nice meet-ups with people, but then I had a heap of stuff (dirty clothes, computers, my bike, etc) that I needed to actually get h...

Work. Such a fast day. God, I’m so bad at time management. Did a spot of retail therapy. Didn’t eat so well today. The humidity finally broke today. Such a blessed relief. Ordered 2 pizzas from Silvios. And then 2 more pizzas from silvios. 4 total; same Menulog guy. Bae staying over. M: 7.5. E: 7. 😓😐🥰🙂

Finished an absolute cliffhanger of a book last night. What a twist! I had some funny dreams. Work. Im a little bit behind on a couple of things and today wasn’t the most productive day of work I’ve ever had. Should be alright though! Early start tomorrow, hopefully! Met [REDACTED] for coffee and a walk. She’s nice. Did a geocache. Went goblin mode and enjoyed a casual sex session - followed by no...

Slept in. Visited [REDACTED] and met the baby. Cute. Had a nice sit and chat with him, which was great. Love, life, and beyond. Met [REDACTED] in real life for the first time - after working together for a year. She’s lovely. We took a stroll through the gardens and around the city a bit. Very nice. Rode out to Kindling store - which has been on my list to get to for ages. I stopped because a tram...

Yeah, it turns out that I don’t actually sleep well with such a very light doona. Was up very late reading and online - and I was amongst the first of the public to hear of Shane Warne’s passing overnight. RIP. Slept in a little. Breakfast at the bedsit. Rode to the Shane Warne statue at the MCG to pay respects and watch the throng. I liked watching the photographers trying to get good shots of pe...

Slept surprisingly well with this super thin doona and no extra weight on top. I’m so used to, like, six layers of doona weight at home. I could get used to staying in a dingy little bedsit like this. I feel like Jarvis in the Live Forever doc. Work. Got a project submitted - mostly. Just a little late. Damn it. Wifi here isn’t fit for purpose of wfh - and my work machine doesn’t like tethering to...
