So.much.sewing. 😩🥱 Then tomorrow furniture restoring.
8/8 assessments marked and passed for this term.
Now, now I can relax! Whoo hoo!
Excellent work spud! Killin’ it!
Grats! Time to explore how resilient your liver is.
Fuck yeah!!! Nice work 🙂
Wow. It feels like it was only last week you had started! Get it girl 💪
You’ve earned yourself a huge serving of CHILLAX - time to enjoy it 😄
💤
Sleepy time!
Does this mean I could potentially order an entire pallet of Ferrero Rocher?
That kinder surprise pre pack display sounds fucking awesome.
Finished at gym. Everything hurts
Antihistamines required! Ugh. I forget the name of this horrid sticky weed but it’s getting a good dose of revenge for the murder we committed on it yesterday.
Thank you for the reminder .
Aside from the big unexpected thing that came up at work, last week went pretty well. This week will be busy in a different way, but if I keep this up I should get through September alright
Good to hear mate!
The most poetic thing would be I get through this month and they’re really happy with my performance, then I get another role and leave not long after. We’ll have to see how that plays out
I hate nightmares.
hugs
Usually I love new car smell, but just passenger rode a test drive and now I feel ill.
I bought a papaya. I know I’ve had it in drinks but I don’t recall having it straight up. I hope it doesn’t taste like cantaloupe. I’ll be so disappointed.
Have you ever had pawpaw in those canned fruit mixes? It’s the same thing.
I love it as dried fruit but am unkeen on the fresh
Hmm, tastes nothing like cantaloupe to me?
Oh that’s good news.
I’ve always found the seeds to be a bit offputting - so similar to shotgun pellets.
Did the shopping order then realised I forgot tissues. Lol.
I forgot sandwich/freezer bags and glad wrap… Same week I stocked up on meat!
Bog roll?
Yeah probably. I’m not gonna do another order until at least a week
I’ve always used bog roll. I’ve got such and explosive nose blow that tissues don’t really cut it. With the hayfever volume of snot coming in the roll does what I need it to do better than tissues.
Better not cry about it… That would be too ironic
God the last few times I’ve been forgetting to get new sponges for my hand sponge thing with a handle, for dishwashing. Finally remember last night after a fucking week. Ugh
Ironically I did this order sooner because I forgot something last time.
I have to start putting things in the cart the moment I think of them.
Read my Year 7 journal today and it made me sad. Oh, sweet summer child. It puts things into perspective though, because in some years from now, I’ll feel the same way about myself now.
my sad teenage life
As a young teenager, who had no real friends or deep connections, I was thrown into a class with people who bullied me. I thought I was the problem, when the problem was that I just didn’t gel with those people. I desperately wanted the approval of people around me, and couldn’t bring myself to leave the only “friend” I had who I knew was a really bad influence on me. She ended up being a bully too. I also grappled with low self-esteem, body image issues and constantly felt like I was never enough. Not smart enough, not pretty enough, etc.
There were so many signs I was dealing with ADHD and potentially autism too. I was constantly losing things, was never focused in class. I had specific rules for journalling, and limited interests. Most of my time was spent wanting to do my work, but doing nothing instead, hyperfixating on people, random special interests that would leave in a week, and the thoughts in my head. The being in my head thing hasn’t entirely left, and I’m not sure it ever will. But the self-esteem thing has gotten a tiny bit better. I have awesome friends now. I have more freedom and independence to explore the world.
So now I have another reason to become a teacher or do some kind of wellbeing work. To somehow help kids have a better experience than I did.
Been there. And you’re so conditioned to blame yourself you can’t see that you’re simply surrounded by arseholes. 0/10 ✂️
That’s a noble goal but don’t forget to take care of yourself first (whether that’s ensuring a job with adequate pay or reducing work stressors). If you don’t have your physical and mental health you have nothing.
I think that’s a great goal 🙂
So many hugs.
I’m feeling really good lately. I’m active, I’m learning more and more things every day, I’m making friends. I feel good. \o/
Love this energy!
So do I!
How is it already mondayyyy ughhh
Today was a significant improvement over the last few days of yuck and torpor. The next two days are going to be a bit yuck… But at least I have some work travel coming up right after which will be intense, but also invigorating and fun. I get to switch off from my usual tasks which is great.
And next Friday evening I’m off to Perf for a full week! Yee. Cost a pretty penny but my mental health desperately needs restorative aunty time and a break from the intensity. I’m hoping I’ll be in a much better place for everything in October…
Alright, time to start packing, planning and cleaning to make up for doing none of it over the weekend 🤪
Safe travels :)
I hope you have a great and relaxing time with your Aunty and the weather treats you well!
Have a safe trip:)
My wife and I are both longing for a long relaxing holiday together as well. Haven’t had a chance since August 2022 when we went to Singapore and Malaysia.
Ugh. 3/4 burners on my electric stovetop are fried, cooked, dead. 2 haven’t worked since they installed this stovetop 3 years ago, but being a renter I put up with it. Now the other one is dead, probably because I’ve been using it to boil water since my kettle died.
Now I have to put in a maintainence request and I just have no spoons for any of this shite
You have the right to be able to cook. That’s an urgent repair
Ask politely but being unable to cook probably warrants an urgent repair: https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/housing/renting/repairs-alterations-safety-and-pets/repairs/repairs-in-rental-properties
Yep, under minimum standards a cooktop needs at LEAST 2 working burners. Write them a nice email, request that this be serviced within 14 days as its an urgent repair. Breach 'em if they don’t.
Just wanted to add that if they fall under the urgent repairs category, you don’t need to wait 14 days. There doesn’t seem to be a set time period from what I can find, but urgent repairs must be responded to and repaired “immediately”. If the landlord ignores your request, you can pay for it yourself (if less than $2500), then bill them and they’ll have 1 week to pay you back. If you can’t afford that cost upfront, apparently you can contact consumer affairs, although I don’t actually know what they’ll do.
