Moving is exhausting so not really but when you have no choice, it has to happen.
We're getting rid of a lot of this stuff though.

ZeoStar July 31st, 2021 2:13 PM

I hated moving too. Especially when it meant arriving at a new school or bus stop and not knowing anybody.

colours July 31st, 2021 2:16 PM

when i recently moved into the new place here, i was... spent. @[email protected]; had to move a ton of stuff, toss out more stuff, and it's... stressful, indeed. had to stay at a hotel because the mattress wasn't set up yet and i refused to sleep on the floor, orz

Caite-chan July 31st, 2021 3:03 PM

I hated having to move and its been 4 years since I moved and a lot of stuff till just recently have still been in the same spot as when we first moved in. Though now that Mom has since passed away and I'm not working I'm just tired of stuff just....EVERYWHERE and started going through and cleaning things up.

Sothis August 1st, 2021 5:40 PM

we have to toss a lot of things too, but my brother is helping us with everything so it's not too bad. We can finally use our own washer and he may get use out of the spare ramp.

Cake is food of the Gods <3333

Sothis August 2nd, 2021 4:23 PM

I find a lot of cake too sweet after a while. That said, cheesecake is my favorite.

colours August 2nd, 2021 4:39 PM

i can only handle a bit of most desserts at a time. :x i tend to get full with them rather quickly.

Doing other things to distract yourself for a couple weeks can definitely help. Hope you'll get over that block soon! ^-^

pkmin3033 August 6th, 2021 1:00 AM

I have some smol fairy cakes in the cupboard, but I only get proper cake on my birthday really. Not got a super massive sweet tooth like I used to though…

Megan August 6th, 2021 1:13 AM

They don't sell cakes in my near vicinity, sadly. Having no place to put a proper oven on also doesn't help. ^^"

Our oven is fine, it's the burners that are fucked.

I had an extraordinarily long, tough day, but I'm home now and probably going to bed.

How about you? I hope you're having a great day :)



I'm really hoping to be a bit more active on the forum, catch up with my peeps, and not be so rushed off my feet the next few days. Let's see how that pans out 😅

Sothis August 13th, 2021 8:47 PM

Omg heat wave here, feel like death.

i feel massively privileged that im sitting in my fairly cold room bc of the AC and my two other fans here idk how i'd survive without them

It's freezing here. I'm close to putting the radiators back on :(

Caite-chan August 14th, 2021 7:24 AM

I actually had to cover up and have the kitties snuggle with me last night.

colours August 14th, 2021 3:10 PM

Caite-chan August 14th, 2021 3:22 PM

My two love to be the biggest pain in the butts when I try to go to sleep or early in the morning.

colours August 14th, 2021 3:36 PM

sometimes i would go to adoption sites just to look at what sort of cats i would adopt. it'd be nice to have one in the future, should i live somewhere that accepts pets.

Caite-chan August 14th, 2021 3:38 PM

My Mom would do that every so often just to see what was in the shelters. I love dogs and have worked with them but I'm way more of a cat person and feel like they are way more easier to take care of.

Sothis August 14th, 2021 6:09 PM

We adopted our cats, a lady where we used to live rescues them and adopts them out. She doesn't charge anything but we gave her some money to help.

Caite-chan August 14th, 2021 6:19 PM

Most of ours have been ones we've found outside as kittens.

Sheep August 15th, 2021 1:47 AM

Most of my cats were adopted off the streets/from others who found them on the streets, except my current cat. My absolute sweetest kitty was a street adoption, she was a very shy kitten compared to the rest and grew up super gentle. Miss her every day.

if you're gonna live in australia, does that mean that your cat can't come with? D: what's the situation with that?

moon August 15th, 2021 2:44 AM

that's not ok, have australia come to you instead ;;

Nah August 15th, 2021 5:30 AM

Sometimes I think that it'd be nice to get a kitten and/or puppy, but then I realize that I don't want to own one so much as I just want to play and cuddle with them

because they're so fucking adorable

Caite-chan August 15th, 2021 5:42 AM

One of the major reasons I have cats over dogs is so I don't have to run home or be home at certain times to let the cat go to the bathroom. Wanna poo use the litter box. Gotta wee wee at 3 in the morning? Cool....use the litter box. I don't have to worry about waking up at all hours of the night for them to use the bathroom.

Starlight August 15th, 2021 6:00 AM

When I get better, I'm totally getting a cat or twelve.

I'd love an older "lap cat" to snuggle with. But we aren't allowed any. Fortunately my neighbours cat is super friendly so I can cuddle him when I see him 😅.

Don't buy dollar store litter. Our apartment stank the high heavens.

I buy a specific brand from a national store chain. It is a bit more expensive than the cheapest dirt you can find for that purpose, and it works wonders.

She’s staying with parents! Which is pretty normal for people moving out of parents’ house I think. The process to get pets to Australia takes about 6-7 months which is a long time, and I don’t want to put her through the stress of 30 hour travels. She’s happy at home ❤️

Yeah they need to get several shots and you have to go back the vet a few times to check up on how it's going. It's a huuuge pain. D:

It was hard yeah but I'd rather do what's best for the pet! Taking her to the vet several times and then making her fly on a plane will just make me feel so selfish.

This job contract is for 3 years too, which was another big reason I decided not to bring her with me yet. Will just mean more stress for her in a few years. But once we get something permanent and can settle down I'll definitely be bringing her along probably :3c

moon August 21st, 2021 4:42 AM

~*new page dance*~

The year went quickly due to pandemic v:

colours August 21st, 2021 10:17 AM

i don't know if it's me, but it almost feels like time has stopped somewhat. like yeah, this year flew by, but because of the pandemic, it almost feels like we've been stuck since early 2020. in a lot of ways, this does feel like 2020 part 2, even if there's... some improvement with the vaccine being a thing and whatnot. still though, time-wise, i've felt as stuck as i was last year. :s

Sami August 21st, 2021 10:21 AM

considering ive been at home doing the same things over and over again it feels that I am stuck in time.

then again i have been stuck in time for years now

I don't think it's just you, I kinda feel the same way, that this year's just been a continuation of 2020. Probably gonna feel that way until covid is completely over, which isn't going to be until sometime next year at the earliest I imagine.

Caite-chan August 21st, 2021 2:52 PM

I'm tired of people fighting over the simplest things like wearing a mask. I feel like we'd be mostly over this if people (mostly Americans) would just quit being assholes about every little thing. Other than having a bad ear infection that I'm getting over I have felt better since quitting my job and being around people all day every day.

colours August 21st, 2021 2:54 PM

can't WAIT to quit my job. like, the only thing i'd miss over there is some of the people that are really friendly and cool towards me, but i am very underpaid and i feel like i'm being take advantage of by doing tons of stuff without being properly compensated for it. :\

i'm also tired of waking up stupid early in the morning (4 AM) nearly every day just to contemplate if i should go to work. this is far from worth it, but once i get another job that allows me to work from home, i'm putting in my two weeks at this job.

Caite-chan August 21st, 2021 2:59 PM

I miss the people I worked with and the job itself because I always thought it was cool to work in an arcade and I miss the money with the health benefits but it was the best decision I could make. I was tired of doing the job of 3-4 people and tired of being able to do nothing on my days off because I was overly exhausted. I'm not one to just up and quit or even call off just because I don't feel like working but I had to for the sake of my health and sanity.

colours August 21st, 2021 3:02 PM

exactly!! during my days off i just want to sleep most of the day, but it feels like a waste because i actually want to enjoy my days off and do different things, idk. but i cant because i can't be assed to go outside because of my commute to/from work and work itself exhausting me. @[email protected]

Caite-chan August 21st, 2021 3:08 PM

That's how I felt. I couldn't be assed because I didn't have any energy to do anything. Like the house was going to hell because I was to tired to care about doing anything. I was lucky I could do the cat box and get the trash together to put out.

moon August 21st, 2021 10:38 PM

I've gotten real comfy with working from home mixed with working in the lab. I think it's been really good for my stress levels to be able to work from home, and I truly do focus better, believe it or not.

Sami August 21st, 2021 11:22 PM

I've been working 3 days at home and 2 in office these days and I miss working in the office... granted part of that is cause I live with my parents at home so that isn't always the most fun place to be.

moon August 22nd, 2021 12:26 AM

yea i have trouble focusing when my partner is also home lol, it's definitely best when i can get the house to myself for the day.

Caite-chan August 22nd, 2021 6:01 AM

That's what I miss about quitting my job is I miss being with everyone but I don't miss doing the work of half the store. Not being able to drive yet makes it hard to do anything or go anywhere without the need of someone else.

moon August 22nd, 2021 6:20 AM

that's a cool flair, caite!
