Melbourne

Another night of restless sleep ahead. I’ve got aircon which does make it somewhat better, but I don’t sleep all that great with that either. Hot nights give me nightmares and multiple wakings.

Some cunt drove on the wrong side of the road today.

I just realised that on Lemmy you can search your own comments. This is so good. You can't sort the results by time but as someone who often goes back trying to find something I mentioned/when I did or ordered a thing it's a step up from Reddit

Somewhere in all my decluttering I seem to have lost the power cord to my sewing machine. Conveniently it takes the same type of cord as the battery charger for my camera so I can still sew.

I have ordered a new cord for the machine, and spent a ton more money on some accessories that are at a really big discount as they are not going to be stocking them any more - I have almost bought them before but decided they were too expensive, so I'm pretty happy to be able to get them at a good price.

Edit: I seem to have got onto the moth issue in the pantry (if there was one) by moving the potentially affected food to the fridge to kill any eggs before throwing it out. Not seeing any bodies in the pantry trap. Edit: Wait no, there's a couple.

But I still see one or two of the little bastards flying around the dining area and my room, plus some corpses in the wardrobe traps. It was a good call to randomly throw those things into an order when I did. No idea how I managed to get clothes moths because the only likely source coming in recently has been dry goods and I don't leave anything open without flyscreens. Unless they hitched a ride on a single clothing item from Kmart.

I haven't had the energy to hot wash/dry everything and do a full vacuum yet but I'm going to chuck the two op shop wool coats I have in the dryer to kill anything in there and bag them. (I know they should have been safely packed away already but my health has been arse.) Dry heat shouldn't shrink items, I think it's only if they go in wet. Then I'm going to keep decluttering and organising to ease more regular vacs.

Sooo I watched Fargo s1 to the end as I couldn't sleep and therefore did not get up early (this is an issue as tomorrow I absolutely have to get up early in order to pick up the carshare to ferry some overseas visitors and bulky items around.)

However, a judicious water on Sat evening meant my plants haven't fared too bad. I still haven't found my card anywhere but this is a shitful time to lose it given that I have these visitors over the next week. Argh! Gonna just call it in and frantically update the god knows how many apps that use it as default payment method

Plants watered and hauled inside, shitty cracked plastic serving tray filled with a shallow amount of water. I wish I had a real birdbath but would never be able to clean it daily to avoid spreading disease

It seems that cool change has arrived a bit quicker than expected. I was hoping I'd be able to hang my clothes out when I'm done at the laundromat and they would be dry before I leave for work tomorrow 😬 I guess I should appreciate the earlier cool change as we all may sleep a little better tonight.

Started researching camper trailers more seriously as a way to stop myself spending too much money on upgrades for "right now". Thinking more future stuff. Having a lot of fun researching options.

Argh! Boyo doing an online induction thing. Camera broke. No idea. I can’t legally let him use my work machine. Have to wait for a break to try fiddling with setting things. So much for my recovery day off.

Hehe just scored the very last rockmelon from the local IGA

Sucks to be everyone else!

Wasn't a very good one but it's mine now.

hahahha fucking muppet has been going up and down chesterville running his fart muffler full bore and this absolute legend just got ahead of him on a narrow stretch the other side of south and dropped down to 40.
