    *shitty mood COVID rant

    Still no smell or taste. Busied myself with laundry and mopping to try and stop being angry. Can’t go out in the backyard for too long because MIL had a dude over to cut down the bottlebrush tree and rip half the garden out. She hasn’t got a plan really, just felt like replacing half the garden beds with more bloody lawn 🤦🏼‍♀️. It wasn’t necessary and looks shithouse, just like the barren wasteland of a front garden I try not to look at. Still strongly positive test, looks like I’m out of work until at least Wednesday. As a casual worker this isn’t good.

      I generally despise lawn. It’s boring, water hungry, and itchy. Use clover or chamomile or something instead.

        I’d love to do something like that out front. Eliminate lawn altogether, it’s boring and redundant in terms of our particular household. Nobody plays on the front lawn, it’s just useless. Out the back I’d have food production for humans and native birds as my priority. And as little lawn as possible, preferably none! I have to admit, the back lawn is about 60+ years old and has been well looked after (bout the only thing that has lol) and it is pleasant to walk on, but for the amount of time anyone spends actually doing that it’d be better off as something else.
