    Started getting a sore throat yesterday but I thought it was because I didn’t drink much water. Boy was I wrong. Woke up with a migraine, fever, chills, bodily pains and of course, a way worse fucking sore throat. Hopefully I can recover faster than I did when I was sick two months ago because I have to do a presentation in five days.

    Presentation went AMAZING, best one yet. Lots of questions and discussions during the session which is exactly what I want. And a possible new client that came to the session has already emailed me. That’s how it’s done!

    I think back to a year ago when I was dealing with the old job. I wanted to try get into recording again around the grand final long weekend but realised I had to make moves to try get out of there. Things have been good with the current job and I’m talking some days off around this public holiday without any plans so I might try get into things again

    ahhh it’s all happening I’ve ripped out the corner cabinet, painted down the hardiboard waterproofing, fitted marine ply to level the floor, plumber tomorrow to fit the new shutoffs, detach the brewery piping from the kitchen and put in a new trap for our dishywashy, Monday sparky comes to fit socket for dishywashy and then we install dishywashy. Meanwhile, I have Friday-monday off as well as cup day so I’m FINALLY GONNA FINISH LAYING THAT FUCKING CRAZY PAVING. and His Lordship shall complete the pointing on the back wall, paint the side wall and start work on the cleat wall.

    so much decluttering

    a whole suitcase worth of clothes and a big box of books

    feels bad to get rid of good clothes , that’s my past poverty talking

    Also, no more buying personal non necessary things, not even books.

    I have enough.

      I’m spring cleaning and decluttering too. On the good days I’ll do my usual everyday chores then choose something extra. I call this my bonus. It might be cleaning out a cupboard or organising my sock drawer depending on how active I feel.

        Friday is my cupboard sorting day , this is extra :)

        this house is so easy to look after, such a relief after the last place which was a nightmare

        for example, the last place was super dusty because the carpet was really old and degrading , this place has mostly wooden floors and new carpet, it’s easy

    “Panel needs replacing on a car? Going through insurance will run it at $2200. Skipping all the paperwork going straight through me will be $1100. However, if you want it done on the weekend, cash in hand, let’s make it $800.”

      Cash economy is strong. I’m moderately sure my first few employers were paying me cash but not paying taxes/super etc. I was a clueless teenager getting cash envelopes and didn’t know better. I’m probably owed a couple hundred dollars in super from each of them.

      I would love for this to happen honestly. I was quoted 2.5k to replace a panel a few years ago. Haven’t done it because the car is probably worth 5k and it’s still functioning okay ish.

    I have whipped and snipped some edges and the tallest clumps of grass in the backyard. Now my arms are feeling a bit wobbly. Not sure if I’ll do the mowing today or tomorrow. I should do a bit more cardboard/mulch application and start on planting vegie seeds, but my motivation is very low today.
