Slammed it out to Shep (and a bit) and back via Yea, always a shitfight within 90 minutes of Melbourne (shout out to the insane P plate van that kept a 30cm distance from every car up to Kilmore). Tripped on site and bruised my left thigh, thankfully it's not too bad. Constantly on edge with pay not coming through, thank fuck it did. Harassed by boss about something so I had to stop via the office.

I'm finally home. I'm pooped. I've gotta drive to Point Cook on Sunday so I'm not even going to LOOK at my car tomorrow. That's enough driving for a while. Ow my leg.

Sorry if there’s a designated area to talk Taylor but I’m struggling to scroll down here at the mo. But we had no luck getting tickets. 6 hours and 3 devices on different internet connections only to get hit with SOLD OUT. Luckily am not a mega fan just thought it’d be fun if we could get tickets. (EDIT: I mean I am somewhat of a fan obvi just not a diehard)

Father in law recently gave us his Beatles memorabilia from when they had their similarly massive concert here, which we’re having framed up so I thought it’d be cool to tell the grandkids we went one day haha. Oh well!

Homegirl got 12 tabs open on three devices for Taylor tix. Does that even work like that?

It's that time of the year again! Summer has hit the US which means it's now summer everywhere (totally cuz US defaultism and not because more people live in the northern hemisphere than the southern)

If you're a gamesperson, time to break out the steam sale song (* not responsible for any deaths caused by cringe overload) and go give your hard earned dollarydoos to a bunch of people who made games you have no intention of ever playing but buy because cheap

Well... I'm set for if my chair legs die on me.

For the past couple of weeks I've been in contact with someone at the company my computer chair is from. And last week I had an issue where I couldn't remove the chair legs from the piston and two weeks later I finally got the chair legs sent and I got sent 5 chair legs...

I'm not mad about it but I'm just confused AF.

Edit: I HAVE A SEAT! I had to use olive oil to get the wheels off of the old legs but I finally have a seat! Now I don't have to use a dining chair.

Edit²: Yep, just got an email back from the person I've been communicating with, the 5 legs was indeed an accident. Oh well. If anyone breaks their Anda Seat legs, and you need one in a pinch, then I'm your person.

Rehydrating with some beers after a good workout and some home-made pizza.

Fireplace is on and between kids watching YouTube and me scrolling through insta reels.....I'm ready to pass out.

Oh my god, I was going to rush for the tram when an Uber said it was coming, this person has gotten redirected 10 different times and it feels like they're never going to make it and I'll be late to work for sure.

We've started off with The Drifters Save The Last Dance For Me.

Tonight's game is double ups but there's 3 artists that have 3 songs in a row so my job is to pick at least one of them for a cup of tea in the morning.
