    Went out for dinner last night, got a porterhouse. Some drinks, more drinks at another bar. Aldi beer.

    Then I promptly fell asleep at 11pm.

    It’s fun when my partner’s birthday is within 10 days of mine 😂 he is my best friend, I love how we can make each other laugh.

    I hope everyone has the best day!!

    Moved some biggish bits of bluestone yesterday. Feeling that today. 2 more to go. One of them is about 1.5m long 30cm wide and 20cm high. Chuckin’ it in a bluestone slab weight calculator it’s over 250kgs lol.

    Not sure what to do with the big one (or how to move it safely). Tempted to bury it a bit, upright in the middle of the lawn as a sort of a space odyssey monolith thing for no reason.

    I used to love going to guitar shops. But I get treated like some kind of fucking exhibit these days. I went to one in Brunswick. I’ve known the owner for like, 20 years and he’s super chill but rarely in store.

    Not every musician is a lanky white dude.

    I don’t complain about racism pretty much ever, but it irks me in this context.

    Can’t sleep, too hot, angry angry angry at having my work schedule upended last minute and not having the time I really needed and now running behind on things again. Forced back out into site visits when I had other stuff to do and planned everything ahead of time. I am firmly putting my foot down next time.

      My brain just does not compute budgeting that way. I budget on my fortnightly pay cycle, with monthly and yearly payments averaged out.

        Same. A fortnight is a fortnight, every bill or estimated bill gets divided into fortnightly payments even if it’s $3 per fortnight. Getting paid 3 times a month makes no difference at all to my accounting/budgeting…

        I just run a spreadsheet. Pay1 on X pay 2 on Y, reoccurring bills all colourcoded in accordance to what pay cycle purview they land in + half a mortgage payment = total for that pay. Subtract ones with PAID next to them from the total for a running idea of how much moneys I need to have before next pay rolls in

      I plotted this out in calendars when I got paid fortnightly as well. It feels good knowing its happening but I wish my bank account felt the difference more

          I managed to have one in February oddly enough. You can jam 3 pays in there if you pack them real tight
