Uh oh so I have vertigo from the flight and feel like I'm constantly getting off an elevator.
I had it when I arrived in Indo for a few days and looked positively drunk for a bit there (not a good look).
I know there are things like Stemetil, betahistines etc.
I don't want to go through that again :(
Does anyone have some suggestions for an alternative remedy?
Another Marketplace sale today - lots of beer bottles out the door, and more space inside for me, yay! My old bottles are going off to bottle some samples for someone starting up a new brewery, so an exciting new future in marketing for them too!
Don’t know what has happened this week, but I am absolutely destroyed. Sleep tight, fam. ✨
Well, since no one is helping me with my vertigo issues (it's real) I'm going to plough through a bit of duty free since I'm not working until monday and try and buy a bread roll from woolies for a peri-peri chicken burger a bit later.
I'm trying to find the right balance between effort/time and money in terms of feeding myself. Sadly no money for FairFeed this week or next. But I have caved and bought some frozen sliced green beans. I shall be making a pot of dal and I'll stir fry the green beans with a bit of chilli and plenty of onion. That along with defrosted curry should see me through to the weekend.
G'day peeps, google sent me a a coupon code for 4 months of free New York Times games (no credit card needed). I don't want it. If anyone else wants it, just reply and I'll DM whoever asks first (it is almost 2:30 though so may not be instant)
Idk if its a shareable code (might be locked to just my email or something) but I'm willing to find out
I went from Bach to Crowded House, and suddenly I’m on the Babe soundtrack. I cannot explain this
i thought it was 14C inside when did it get down to 12 come here heater.
No wonder my feet are cold.
I started off around 14 this morning, I have just made it past 17. Miss Meow is on my lap adding a couple of degrees of warmth too, so not doing too badly.
My Jerboa has decided to not let me sort any way other than old... Didn't even know there were Lemmy instances that old
God damn targeted instagram ads. I’ve found some jumpers/tshirts that I now desperately want but the store looks low key dodgy and the prices are deceptive because they’re in American $$.
But Urgh. Look at these.

Alright so the person came back onto the tracks?! Right so clearly they are unstable or unwell or something, so it’s morally abhorrent that we run them over but we don’t care enough take them into care and get them the help they need… yeah that’s where you lose me. Either it’s a dog eat dog world, or we actually give a fuck about people and properly help them.
Miss Meow snuck past me to have a great adventure in the outdoors. She was unimpressed with the weather and came straight back inside.
Another pakige arrived - this time a very well worn copy of a book on sustainable housing published in 2000. Complete with this
