We’ve got a 2.5 hour stop in woomelang for lunch again. I’ve been feeling nauseous since we left Mildura. I seem to be less nauseous if I drink some sweetened juice or similar, but I think I’m gonna skip lunch. I can’t eat much more than a couple bites of a muffin

more TW: vomitting
Finally got into the hotel. Unfortunately when we were all of 5 minutes away (the train drops us off at Maryborough and coaches being us to Creswick) I threw up again. On the bus. Fortunately I brought rubbish bags from the train (they had no sick bags but did have rubbish bags), and I’d double bagged them before I got on the bus. I was doing alright, if nauseous, until we started going over pothole after fucking pothole. I don’t think I’m going to be up to taking the train back to the city tomorrow. The organisation that runs the lead tenant place has an after hours support line who could probably organise a lift for me and my worker back to Melbourne, but they might not get here until 2 or 3 in the morning or whenever someone is free. Or if I wait until 9 when the program coordinator starts, I can call her and she can arrange something. But I really don’t want to be on the train for another 12 hours while I can’t hold even a few sips.of water down, and I don’t have much faith that I’ll be better in the morning. Tomorrow’s the last day of the trip, so it’s kind of a conflict about whether I suffer through it for just 12 more hours and finish the trip, or go home and miss out and the last little bit of the trip. Really, I’ve seen all of the last leg before, so I won’t feel sad about missing anything, but at the same time there’s only 12 more hours of the train and then I can say I’ve done it in its entirety.

Being sick when you’re travelling is the worst. Don’t try to push through to complete your trip if you might be able to get home more comfortably, it’s not worth it. Try for the lift.
Hang in there.

That’s a tough one. Sometimes vomiting clears up after a day, but I couldn’t think of much more miserable then being on a train for 12 hours feeling like that.
I would probably try to get some sleep and make a call early morning. If you are feeling crap then bail and call the program coordinator.
I don’t know but maybe it’s worth talking to the after hours support person tonight - maybe they have some other advice.
Hope you are feeling better tomorrow.

but I couldn’t think of much more miserable then being on a train for 12 hours feeling like that.
Yeah. I was feeling nauseous from when I woke up at 5, although it only started getting really bad around 10/11. So it’s been an absolutely miserable day. Honestly I wanted to bail yesterday, but Mildura is way too far away to get a lift unless I was really really bad, but the only other way back was a packed night bus to Melbourne. I probably wouldn’t have been sick if I caught the night bus, but it would’ve still been pretty hellish. And if I was, people would’ve been a lot less understanding, plus the whole making other people sick thing.
Just based on my past experiences with being sick, usually days 2 and 3 are the worst. The first day’s just tiring, the 2nd day is usually slightly worse than the 3rd though. I think I will just call the program coordinator in the morning, after hours won’t be able to do all too much except organise a lift tonight. But if I go home tomorrow, that’s one more day to get better before I have to meet the new kid (I don’t think throwing up every 2 hours from the moment I walk in the door is a great way to introduce myself)

Movie review. Crimson Peak.
This is a difficult movie to review on account of I’m not sure what it is.
I think it’s world building, a beautiful dangerous strange world of the main character’s mind. I think it was described as a fever dream. But there is a reality in it all and the main character, Edith, has to sort out dangerous reality from scary but harmless dreams, to trust her judgement and determine her own fate.
( Fever dreams and hallucinations used to be a much more common phenomenon . Caused by the fevers of TB or malnutrition or poisoning by the environment or contaminated food. )
4 hobbits, will have to watch again

Crimson Peak is a gothic romance / drama. The mistake a lot of people make is thinking it’s a horror. If you do that you will be sorely disappointed.

I did get that.

I had too many stimulating things yesterday and couldn’t sleep till 2, felt like a total wreck this am and absolutely couldn’t get out of bed until 1pm - wasted a whole glorious morning of sunshine to do the laundry 😭 let alone go for a walk.
Hurriedly doing it now on a short cycle to get even 2-3 hours of sun in, scarfed down some lunch and gonna try move as many of the plants as I can before Terrible Weather descends on us from the wee hours of tonight. Will NOT beat myself up for the total lack of energy and motivation to get out of bed and embrace life.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I had that kind of day yesterday. It happens. Good luck with the plant moving. I rearranged all mine today (indoor in a sun room so just moved to make the most of the sun). Sometimes sunny days are for sleeping and chores 🤷🏻♀️
just_kitten@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Ugh, yeah. I feel like if I forced myself to get up and started moving I’d have been alright in the end, and just gone to sleep early, but it’s too late to have any regrets. Back to work tomorrow so I need to park my frustration with myself…

Someone here a while back recommended Klean Air for split system air conditioner cleaning.
They responded to my initial inquiry but have ignored my “I’d like to go ahead with it” email and one further follow-up.
Has anyone here had a good experience with a different company?

We kept a bit of apricot chicken for kiddos dinner, and honestly? It was a lot better the second night. The flavours have all blended together rather that the kind of offensive flavour of last night.
Still wanna find some other Dutch over chicken thigh recipes though.
