Yeah. There’s always that and it’s the better option, but thought if people prefer doing it this way they can

I’m sorry bro, there are parts of Melbourne that are especially cooked now. Poverty, drugs and lack of support services are really causing a crunch and leading to increased shoplifting and aggression.

It might be worth going somewhere else, another area if possible

How is it that tedious chores are easier in video games than rl? But I’m stealing the concept of ‘doing dailies’.

If I can do even just one annoying thing each day, no matter if that’s all that gets done, then that should start to add up to a clean mostly empty flat. And if it doesn’t then it prevents things from snowballing (especially in a small place).

I’m staying on Mts Wash and Dishmore, shredding paperwork, and slowly weeding out various things to declutter. There’s a bunch of different places for unwanted stuff to go but I’m just putting them aside for when I get a lift.

When life is less chaotic then I begin to sell things.

Would they take Restavit? I know there’s a crossover with human drugs and they do take donations of leftover meds (to give free to pets of homeless clients) but it might be weird to give them expired human meds.

I also have a few tubes of Melbcat’s thyroid meds from like 3 years ago but they may not be good still

Public transport isn’t very accessible for physical ability and also local safety issues. Also for working people time is an issue

Still sucks that I’m giving a sus grocery baron a plug (and using it)

Found out you can do donations to food banks via supermarket delivery but annoyed that by posting that I’m driving more business to Coles (when Coles and Woolies should be receiving a lot more scrutiny for price gouging and shrinkflation).

Hopefully a few more people will donate this way but it’s hiding a systemic issue (growing wealth inequality) and it’s always the big businesses that clean up when things go to shit. What a sucky balance.

If I had money and a car I’d probably hit up Aldi or IGA both for myself and when I could do donations

Adding more organisations that do this (not an exhaustive list, TBA):

Crossway life care https://www.crosswaylifecare.org.au/get-involved/donate-food/

Kensington neighbourhood house (accepts both Woolies and Coles) https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=359752855777545&id=100066693486762

That’s good. You always hear not to take expired medication and usually I don’t but I am not feeling up to going and getting more right now

I didn’t end up taking the restavit because it expired last month… debating whether to take it tonight anyway and get a fresh box on Monday.

I’m sick of the sleeping pattern I’m stuck in. I do wake up but can’t seem to get up or do anything and end up going back to sleep.

Been waiting hours… Melatonin hasn’t done a thing. /shrug Restavit it is

Digging through decluttering crap… I found some old Warhammer stuff.

I shook some paints back to usability but the key ones have dried up. I don’t really want to go back to it anyway

Unfortunately there’s not much they can do.

I’ve kind of stopped wanting to go out by now. Even seeing known shitty people sucks and I’m over it.

I just stay in and keep a crowbar handy.

Sorry, don’t want to post anything doxable. But my area has Problems

Edit: I can definitely give someone a nasty time if cornered but don’t want legal issues on top of everything

I wish I could at least go back to skincare and exercise but it all feels too hard and too late.

Melbcat 🥰

Payne’s grey for the darkest bits?

I heard you can cook potatoes in something salty and then remove them but have never tried it

Edit: never mind it’s a myth

Slept through the day again. I should be taking walks to boost my mood but honestly… my area is full of interesting people (in a bad way) and I don’t want to wander around in it.

Think I’m gonna do a few chores and then take a sleeping pill at midnight.

I’m now nocturnal and kind of withdrawing from everyone. I think I’m getting really depressed.
