    Doing some work on a Sunday (boo) - client issue came up just before the long weekend, which has been on my mind and needed the calm of a weekend day to work through it. Email prepped and ready to send out tomorrow morning. Now I can relax.

    Calling it an early night here. I’m going to try and switch back to Melbourne time as much as I can. Didn’t get any work done today and started noticing my historic irritations with my mum creeping in as she’s getting better, don’t need that polluting my mindspace and going back to teenage memories, so an early retreat and an early start tomorrow where I can focus on what I need to get done for the life I have back home.

    I got an Amazon parcel today with my name and address, but I did not place the order. It had a $20 Shrek picture storybook in it. I’m going to assume it’s a joke birthday present from one of my silly friends, but a tiny part of me wonders if it’s someone from my past trying to call me an ogre. Either way, how bizarre.

      Boyo once received a pack of toothbrushes from Amazon that no one had ordered, but apparently it’s a scam, but not to the receiver but a way for the sender to get themselves fake reviews for “legit” sending of a “purchase”. I’m sure there’s a better way to explain that.

      Oddest thing was that boyo had had dental surgery 2 days beforehand.

      There is a scam where they use your address and a different name to deliver very small items and then send a huge expensive thing once the address is ‘validated’

    This cold is kicking my ass 💀 I’m so tired

    The cat was curled up inside my oodie on the couch, and I just said to my partner “don’t sit there, Mickey is under there”. As soon as I said that, Mickey was all “ma-eo”, promptly exited said oodie.

    The apes cannot be right in this household, only the feline is correct - Mickey, probably

    Man, I’m so exhausted after a 3 hour cooking marathon (not including half an hour of popping over to the shops) plus another hour of cleaning up. But I think we are good for food now for the next 3-4 days. Taken me a while to recover but now I feel ready to at least start writing some work to-do stuff down… If I’m lucky I’ll get some things done today.

    I need to take phosphate supplements due to my levels being very low post iron infusion and having now dropped further which is a risk to my heart.

    But they’ve given me supplements with artificial sweeteners which I don’t tolerate. I’m seriously struggling with being able to take them.

    The resulting stomach upset is wasting fluid I can’t afford to lose (dehydration) and causing extra pain but at the same time I can feel something definitely is wrong. I do need to replace the phosphates. I’m really weak, dizzy, and dropping things from my numb hands.

    I’ve been searching for any alternatives and rung a support worker who is going to check out some possible options.

    If I can’t take them by mouth it will have to be done via iv which means hospital. I’m hoping I’ll be able to access it through an urgent care or a privately paid service but maybe not.

      You absolutely can get tabs without sweeteners, was on them during chemo. Also fizzy berocca-like form. Speak to your pharmacist.

      so many hugs

      do you have anyway to relax after taking your tabs? A tv show which completely distracts you? Something to take your mind off the discomfort?

    Damn, every time I leave this place I delete the memory of how disgustingly huge cockroaches get, and then every time I come back I get a rude shock. 🤢 Loathsome creatures…

      In Sydney I had ones that had been poisoned so many times they stopped dying and grew curly wings 🤮

        My mum is vehemently anti-killing to the point that she won’t even relocate bugs off her treasured curry leaf plants that are constantly under attack - I’ve never seen the insides of a roach and don’t think I’m in a rush to 😬

        At my old place I’d catch them under a cup and throw them outside. My mum puts kitchen gloves on and grabs them just like that which freaked me out massively as a child and as an adult

          Wow. Full props to your mum. My mum (when growing up in the tropical soup) was fully supportive of killing. I don’t think we dented the numbers though
