    When I trim my nails, I trim too close to the cuticle and end up getting an infection.

    I have one now and the antibiotics are giving me a nasty headache.

    Goodnight all :)

      I’m not sure what this means because the cuticle is the thicker skin stuff between the bottom of the nail and finger? Do you just mean the skin gets nicked because you cut too much off the top? You could try washing/disinfecting the nail scissors or clippers. Bacteria might be living on them that keeps reinfecting any nicks each time you do your nails. Order of operation is wash hands, disinfect clippers, then trim nails. Hopefully that prevents any further instances!

      The Coles organic hot chocolate is incredible. I add a splash of pouring cream and vanilla syrup too. No, I have no self-control.

    Strays ate from a plate I was holding!

    It doesn’t sound like much, but this is huge.

    Edit: The spinny butterfly toy is getting a hell of a workout from Gibson.

    At the same shopping centre where this week’s pumpkin projectile happened to me and I witness another loud confrontation between staff v shoplifter, this time at Aldi. I kept my distance and eyes on them the entire time. What is happening though? Twice in a week while I’m here. I honestly don’t feel that safe coming here anymore.

    Edit - I was influenced and purchased the garlic dip. Garlic bomb incoming 😶‍🌫️

      I’m sorry bro, there are parts of Melbourne that are especially cooked now. Poverty, drugs and lack of support services are really causing a crunch and leading to increased shoplifting and aggression.

      It might be worth going somewhere else, another area if possible

    How is it that tedious chores are easier in video games than rl? But I’m stealing the concept of ‘doing dailies’.

    If I can do even just one annoying thing each day, no matter if that’s all that gets done, then that should start to add up to a clean mostly empty flat. And if it doesn’t then it prevents things from snowballing (especially in a small place).

    I’m staying on Mts Wash and Dishmore, shredding paperwork, and slowly weeding out various things to declutter. There’s a bunch of different places for unwanted stuff to go but I’m just putting them aside for when I get a lift.

    When life is less chaotic then I begin to sell things.

      this is what I do

      I set myself rules. Everyday make sure the cat amenities are clean. Do the dishes and clean the kitchen everyday. Self care everyday. Wear clean tidy clothes everyday.

      If I make a list I try to have it all crossed by end of day, it doesn’t matter if it’s midnight.

      I need to expand my rules.

    Found out you can do donations to food banks via supermarket delivery but annoyed that by posting that I’m driving more business to Coles (when Coles and Woolies should be receiving a lot more scrutiny for price gouging and shrinkflation).

    Hopefully a few more people will donate this way but it’s hiding a systemic issue (growing wealth inequality) and it’s always the big businesses that clean up when things go to shit. What a sucky balance.

    If I had money and a car I’d probably hit up Aldi or IGA both for myself and when I could do donations

        Public transport isn’t very accessible for physical ability and also local safety issues. Also for working people time is an issue

        Still sucks that I’m giving a sus grocery baron a plug (and using it)

    Read another book (High Wire by Candace Fox) and in the brief bit of Sun we had, went out. The Minipeelers swindled me somehow into going to a local cafe where the San Sebastian cheesecake and tiramisu are to die for. Both were lovely as usual. Am now alternating between beached whale mode and doing odd little tasks like a load of laundry.

    The painting of the bedroom suite is taking a while but it’s looking so good. I’ll post pics when I’m done. 🙂
