    Just did the weekly shop, and jesus fuck! At this point I’m seeing a $20-$40 per week increase, and that’s with substitutions for lower priced items or just plain going without.

    I feel like I’m going insane when I see an item I bought a week ago suddenly double the price.

    I vote for this December as Numbat Appreciation Month. Moah numbats! Numbats everywhere! On every street corner! Roaming packs of numbats invading our parks and gardens. Enough numbats for everybody.

    Adjusting my sleep cycle back to normal hours is taking longer than I expected. Feel so utterly fucked during the day.

    But that’s what I get for going to bed at 5am for a month or so 🙃

      Ted Cat is waking me up for first breakfast so early I’m wrecked and can barely talk. 🥴😴 I’ve tried putting him in his own room but he meows loud all night. The latest tactic is a big meal at dinner, maybe he will sleep more.

    Bot clearly got into the decaf batteries. Numbats are just too adorable for their own good. Their little noses …

      Bot really does not like weekends. I really need to organise the bootcamp and new office space I’m planning to try to get Bot to shape up and act a bit more professionally. I have two assignments due this week, and then I only have one subject still going so will hopefully be able to find more time.

    Tree up, time-lapse completed, front garden tree bow done. Added a blow up Christmas elf and pig to the front garden this year. Kids loved it. Multiple people commented on the walk past. Feels good man.

    Ted is meowing like he’s dying.

    He can see Bill eating dinner through the glass door and Ted wants it. Ted hasn’t even finish his own dinner yet

    I’ve bought the 2024 planner and made sure it was a week to view with a task list at the side. (Lost the old one and am using one with a format that doesn’t work well for me.) That’s what has always worked for me, hopefully that corrals some of the stuff rattling around in my brain and helps me keep on top of things again.

    And a new wallet because my old one broke - my cards are currently floating around in my bag and my Medicare care is… somewhere.

    My finger slipped on a portable table easel and a drawing mannikin to make free postage. 🤫 It’s Xmas. I’ve been eyeing them off and I’ve found that propping the paper up helps a bit. The ebay lap desk I have is honestly more suited to using my laptop, and kind of awkward.

      I like the sound of your planner. I find that getting something to work for the whole family is tough… a series of personal digital calendars on different devices all synced is edgy and modern but just doesn’t work well for some of us. The best thing seems to actually be an old-fashioned calendar with really big squares, but there’s nowhere to list important weekly tasks. I’m glad you’ve found a solution!

        Yeah, sometimes I don’t know which day I’ll be able to complete a task and get bogged down deciding where to put it. So it helps to just get a week-to-view with the to do list and dump them all on the side so you can easily see the jobs for the whole week and do them as able.

        I have a magnetic chore chart on the fridge just for important daily tasks that repetition can blur (ie. marking off the cat’s meds twice a day, tracking her toilet schedule, any daily medication or self care I need) and there is a space at the bottom and top for a couple of weekly tasks, or notes, or reminders. But it is quite a small one and for an individual.

    Spent part of my morning watching video recaps of people who died caving. That Nutty, Putty or whatever that place is, the horror of that story gave me such a visceral reaction compared other awful stories. So horrible.

    But of course I am stupid and will watch others.

    Hit the Design Market, but didn’t buy anything and weird weather, but I’ll take it. Beyotch that rode my ass in your Audi SUV may you get the runs at Xmas. Have made it to a late lunch and will enjoy my two-wheeled cruise after.

    Hope you’re enjoying your Sunday!

      There’s this climbing gym down south called Bayside Rocks with a cool little caving simulation area. Two or three tunnels you can try out. Barely big enough to squeeze your body through and pitch black. It’s pretty freaky to try.

        I haven’t had any fully claustrophobic experiences in a long time. I think there was only one when I was a child and I noped out very quickly.

        It’s weird. I don’t mind weight, contorting or manoeuvring must have an escape hatch. I don’t know. Maybe it’s calculated risk, but I could literally feel anxiety and panic just listening to it. Ugh, usually I find I have this kind of distance listening to this stuff, but tight caves… Eeek.

      I had completely put Nutty Putty out of my mind until now. Thank you, even the memory of reading that is horrific.

      Time to concentrate very hard on something else.
