    It worked in a way. It’ll take another week or 2 to break out of the habit of waking up, but I fell immediately back to sleep when I did wake up.

    Success.

    13 months. Unreal.

    Today has been awful. Which is pretty rare for me to say honestly.

    I want to go back to bed and not wake up until tomorrow.

    I’ve made some progress on sorting my sewing room. Unfortunately the shelves I was hoping to use inside the cupboard won’t work - the shelves are the right size, but once assembled I won’t have room to manoeuvre them in. I have a couple more shelves to assemble and can then start putting more things away.

    I’m behind where I would like to be, but I think I can get all the boxes cleared from the lounge room and tidy up the worst of the empty box collection before the rental inspection tomorrow. It is nice having the lounge room more clear and open again, but I need to move all the furniture now that I’m not having to accomodate a wall of boxes.

        No, it’s a built in and the framing for the doors reduces the size of the opening slightly. Plus they have gone for the cheapest possible wardrobe insert, which is a single shelf with hanging rail below it, and it has a divider panel in the middle to provide support to the shelf which also reduces the options for what you can put in there.

        A song by an artist whom you

        • don’t agree with their morals/actions
        • don’t like any other song they’ve released
        • in a genre that you might not listen to a lot

        That’s just my own definition, really, and the song can meet all or just one of those points. I don’t like Nicki as a person, she’s awful, and I don’t like her other songs. I do listen to the genre though.

        I mean, I love Anaconda so much I can sing it off by heart 😂 the music video is hot AF as well

    My neighbour’s dog is howling its little brains out and I can’t understand why they’re letting this noise continue. I’ve never heard it do this before. Either way, it’s bloody annoying when I’m trying to work. Headphones on!

      Did something happen to the neighbour? Or are they just out?
