Saturday starts with Maker and a lie about "just doing a quick walk".
Hair up.
Alo on.
AirPods in.
Coffee in one hand, tiny dog or emotional support tote in the other.
You head toward the Yarra, do enough steps to feel morally superior, then somehow end up adding a Tan lap because one of the girls said "come on, it's actually so nice out".
By 11:30 you're home.
Shower.
Airwrap.
Thirty minutes of saying "I literally have nothing to wear".
Then Chapel Street.
You only need one thing from Mecca.
You leave with four.
Lunch turns into a wine.
Wine turns into "should we just stay out?"
You already know how this ends.
The funny part is coming home to Kensington Road.
Leafy.
Quiet.
Nobody yelling into a phone outside your window.
Just your own private little apartment upstairs in a solid double-brick block.
Living and kitchen together.
Bedroom and bathroom tucked away separately.
The floor plan has boundaries.
Respect.
The kitchen is a proper size too, with loads of storage and a breakfast bar looking into greenery.
Perfect for Sunday morning coffee while checking your bank account and briefly considering personal growth.
The bedroom is generous, robes are sorted, and split-system heating and cooling keeps Melbourne's mood swings outside where they belong.
Undercover car space downstairs.
Although realistically the car spends most weekends wondering where you went.
Yarra for steps.
Chapel for damage.
Then back home to a street that feels nothing like the chaos you just voluntarily participated in.
