Nothing like some midnight floor mopping because you put it off all day and have an apartment inspection tomorrow while you’ll be in the office and you hate having people in your apartment while you’re not there but you have to go to work because you have to present a demonstration to the executive leadership team.

Meeeeeanwhile, I’m seriously considering moving out and just going to stay with my folks for a while. It’s not about money (although it would be nice to save a bunch of money quickly) it’s more about how unhealthy it is for me to sit alone in this shoebox. Plus I’ll have to house/dog sit for them for their upcoming US trip this year anyway.

Then once I’ve saved a bigger chunk of dough I’ll finally bite the bullet and buy something. Likely right before the housing bubble finally bursts after 30 years of people saying it’s going to but never does.

Just bought a bit of local art so I’ll have a tiny bit of the border at home. Man, I’d live up here if I could.

I’ll be 41 years old this month.

I’d like to say I’ve lived a bit of a life. I’ve had and lost friends. I’ve found and lost love. I was even married for a little while. I was directionless career-wise coming out of high school but now I’m quite successful and am paid well for it. I’m moderately well-travelled. I’ve been to and seen a lot of places both domestic and abroad and not all of them were so nice… some were even outright sketchy.

But today, on April 1st 2024 - I saw my very first bona fide, honest-to-god, ready for use, manky Glory Hole. A clearly frequented hole in the side of a toilet stall complete with some eager gent waiting on the other side.

From now on my life has been split in two; before I saw a Glory Hole and after. I was so young in the before-times. So naive. So full of hope.

Shaved, showered, washed my hair, started getting ready for in-office day but forgot I didn’t book a desk. Login and notice none of my team have booked desks. Login to Teams to find messages that none of my team are going in today. Proceed to not put on pants. Today’s alright so far.

I’m freeeeee! Just a bit of sniffles left and the medical centre has given me the ok to leave isolation.

Edit: interesting development… just showered and put deodorant on and I can’t smell anything haha

What an odd sensation. Coconut sunscreen… nothing. Cologne… nothing.

Going to find some breakfast to check on taste but toothpaste was barely noticeable soooo

Edit edit: I can kinda taste ketchup but that was about it from my eggs and bacon breakfast. I should just eat the healthy stuff I might not usually eat.

Every few years I try Domino’s again to make sure my avoidance of them is justified and every time I’m reminded how right I am. Before you think I’m just a pizza snob, I like and semi regularly get Pizza Hut.

NEW CAR DAY

I went and bought those Aldi coffee beans, gave my espresso machine a good clean and attempted my first coffee in a long long time.

Took 2 attempts to get the extraction right and it’s not my sexiest milk pour but it was a damn fine cup of coffee ☕

I was expecting not to receive my full pay rise this financial year regardless of meeting my performance plan because I haven’t been in this particular role for the full financial year… but I just got an email saying congratulations and that my pay rise is coming through on the next pay run along with backpay from July 1! Yay!!

Sometimes things just work out.

It’s just past midday, I’m 20 miles from Vegas and it’s hot as fuuuuck. Have a photo of a rock archway I drove under this morning for your troubles.

More evidence I’m wasted on these people… driving from Denver to Moab:

Passing a town called Parachute, “Got some bad news in Parachute… but luckily they let me down easy”

Nothing.

Passing a town called Cameo, “Nice of this town to make a special appearance!”

Nothing.

Back from the market. Found some honeycomb so that was a win. The whole experience left me very ‘whelmed’ though.

Some dickhead is attempting to sell toasties for SIXTEEN (16) AUSTRALIAN DOLLERYDOOS each. Incredible. I paid $6 for a walkin’ around pretzel which may have been made yesterday because it was not fresh and under salted. I went to buy 2 simple iced donuts, 1 for me and 1 for Ron thinking they’d be fresh and delicious… nope, chewy and $11.40. I felt like a banana smoothie but from what I can tell you literally cannot buy that. If you want a 12 berries, flaxseeds, rocket, dove feathers, spinach, kale, carrot and almond milk smoothie for $17 they have you covered though. Just whack some banana, frozen yoghurt, beef milk and maybe a dash of honey if you’re feeling fancy into a blender and sell it to me for $8 you pretentious puffy-coated bastards.

I did pick up a lil lasagne for dinner from the fresh pasta place so I’m hoping that’s good. Oh and I was only there for like 45 minutes I think so parking was free, which is nice.

I did my research last night for where I'd go for breakfast in Bright, walked up to it in the chilled morning drizzle eager for some (reviewer described) fluffy yellow eggs and coffee only to find, to my horror, that a sign on the door said "We are closed for annual leave until June 26, sorry we missed you"

I was so disappointed I left town immediately. I drove without a specific destination, in search of a place of fluffy yellow eggs and delicious coffee.

I find myself now in Wangaratta, sat inside a cafe I spotted as I drove through the city centre. Eggs ordered, sipping my coffee and listening to my audiobook through my headphones. The sun is shining.
