We're off to Orange tomorrow, to take my housemate to the Asian grocery store so she can stock up on everything she eats from there. My guess is that this will be one of the last times we can take a longer* drive for such a small reason.

I'm really going to cut down driving in the next couple of weeks. I'm trying to get my housemate to sort out her room so she can have a functional office in there as well, so we can perhaps start having her work from home a few days a week. We need to get her a new desk, and some more bookcases, I also need to spin her bed around 90° so this against her other wall to get everything to fit in there. She's not a neat person, and her bedroom is vmessy.. which is fine, it's her room and I'm not her mother (tbh, if I was I wouldn't worry about her space either).. so I think it's going to be hard work for her to tidy enough that we can move furniture.

My hope is to sort out the house so that she can work from it and I can live in it without us wanting to murder each other.. with the goal of driving only maybe once or twice a week to help with the fuel crisis because it's only going to get worse towards the end of the month.

* longer drive = more than the 10 minutes it takes to get into town. Orange is about 40 minutes away.

My hairdresser has played "My Old Man Was Right", by Luke Combs 3 times in a row so far.. and that's just since I've been here.

Ma'am, are you OK?

There is a push to try and build a greyhound racing track in Orange, NSW.

Please sign and share this petition widely!

(also, today is Poppy's Gotcha Day—we've had her for two years. It'd be a great Gotcha Gift!)

So, apparently a 21 year old man in Bathurst has been charged with various offences after police found numerous books detailing how to make pipe bombs, the materials for making pipe bombs, some pipe bombs, and over 50 stolen snakes in his home.

None of the offences are terrorist offences.

Interesting. 🤔

It's always interesting being away from home for an extended time and seeing all the little things I do not get done, and the way my housemate is all "I don't know why that happened?"

Like, I spray the outside of the windows down with water every couple of weeks, because the flyscreens don't fit snug and a LOT of critters get in around them to then hide between the screen and the window (and then of you open the windows they just wander inside..), spraying them down just washes all the little critters out so they don't become big critters or get inside.

My housemate isn't aware that this is something I've been doing for the 3 years we've lived here, and is confused why all the windows now have GIANT FUCKING SPIDERS caught between the screen and the glass. She was literally like "I don't know.. it's like you left and they all just decided to attack the house or something?" Nah, they were little spiders 6 weeks ago and have been feasting on the other bugs getting caught... now they're huge.

Anyways, I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with this (I'm arachnophobic). Last year I asked my submissive to sort it out, and he did a spectacular job without me having to know any of the details. But we're on a break while he puts his focus into some family stuff.

Maybe they just live there now.

Why do these racist fuckers always start their tirades with something about refusing to be silenced?

Like, my guy.. WE KNOW BECAUSE YOU DON'T EVER SHUT THE FUCK UP
