    I have been approved for a home! I shall not after all be homeless.

    It is in a new estate, so comes with the standard building noises during the day I have become used to, but should not have the regular demolition sounds. There is a dishwasher. There is heating. There is cooling. There is a walk in pantry and double glazing! Now I have to order a dog door insert for Mr Woof, organise the removalists, and figure out what goes where.

    I guess this means I’m officially no longer a Melbournian, I am an official Ballaratian. Or is it a Ballaratbag?

    More good news on the rental front: the agent takes direct deposit rather than insisting on you using an app that stops you from automating the payments unless you pay extra fees.

    I have checked all my shit in, bestickered my suitcase and scooter, and made it through security. They are satisfied my crutches do not contain a bomb

    Tinyest can now say his name. I was surprised cause lets say his name was Tinyest, we often just call him Tiny. But he knows the full thing as well. He some times just says to himself “Mommy, Daddy and Tiny” which is so cute. Sometimes the pet names too.

    He can also now say “Come Here” so poor mrs b is getting summoned a LOT. Daddy is mostly just used for playing cars which means forza horizon on the xbox doing jumps.

    I just helped out an excitable dog by the name of Sadie, who had gotten outside without authorisation and didn’t know how to get back in. Fortunately her people were home. I now smell slightly of wet dog and have a few paw prints on my jeans.

    Edit: I’m so fucking bored. Too fucked to do anything fun. Just sleep. Laaaaame.

    Early morning movie review

    Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri

    I finished watching the other day and can’t stop thinking about it.

    It’s about grief and justice.

      I am not sure how I felt about it in the end. I’m glad I watched it but… yeah. Similar story with Nomadland. Keep thinking about that one too.

        I think I think about it because it’s like real life in that life doesn’t make sense to us all the time and questions can go unanswered

        that’s the thing, why ask questions, what can we do with answers,

        are we trying to change the past, bring people back from the dead and do we believe in the Just World Fallacy , what is justice anyway

        a lot of people in law pursue justice as an act of caring toward the victim

          my take was it was something she could control. the chase for justice was within her power to do. Taking action is often easier than doing nothing.

    Erin Patterson’s trial begins today, I think it’ll be really interesting to hear how it turns out, what a wild story it’s been.

    The sads

    I’m feeling overwhelmed by life and getting emotional about things that are either a no win situation and/or probably don’t matter.

    I’m just so tired man. I’ve been struggling against so much for so long with no headway and anything good I try to do seems to be for nothing (or gets punished).

    At least I can get this tooth removed this week. Due to cost I’ve decided to be awake during it so wish me luck.

      Hugs homey.

      Sligth pep talk - I had my last few teeth pulled (one infected, one broken and an old wisdom) without general. Not all at once. These were 3 separate occasions.

      Local shots were more than enough. Jaw was sore for a few days after, but that’s all.

      You’re sorting things out one a time. You’ll get to where you need be eventually :)

        My OH also had a broken tooth pulled recently under local and had the same experience. Had to eat modified food for a couple of weeks but is all good now
