I can’t concentrate today. A close friend was in a bike vs car (cars fault) yesterday. They are still in hospital but ok -multiple fractures and chest trauma but could have been much worse. I spent yesterday babysitting and helping out and I thought I was ok but I keep getting the shakes today. I feel silly. I need to concentrate but I keep thinking about it.
Hug your peeps my peeps.
I feel silly. I need to concentrate but I keep thinking about it.
Bro. Dont feel silly at all. PERFECTLY normal to have this reaction to trauma. Take a day off, be kind to yourself. Go for a walk, get a cuppa and process.
Thanks. I know that intellectually. I know that it’s also smashed me right back to childhood where there were a couple of big bad life changing moments like this. I don’t know why I expect I would ever be over that but I do. Thanks. I am gonna make a cuppa.
so mny hugs and hope your close friend gets better soon
thanks :-)
Completely understandable! Speedy recovery for your friend and take care of yourself!
Today I managed to finally get ahold of my step mum and found out my dad was ok and I finally got a text message from him.
I guess with his recent illness it’s really taken a toll on him.
Anyway I’m glad to hear from him and just told him to rest up.
In other news my clothes smell like curry from when I made it last nights.
That’s a real relief that your dad is ok. What curry were you making? I think I’m due for a nice Thai curry later this week.
I did a butter chicken curry which is mild enough for me to eat. It’s pretty tasty.
I wish I could tolerate spiciness. One day I’d like to eat a curry laksa but it’s too spicy :(
Oh that’s good news. Glad he is ok
Love it!
CEO is so lucky 🥰
everyone loves snoopy 💝
Nervous about the meeting tomorrow. Can’t stop thinking about it.
Going to have an early night I think.
Hopefully will have some good news tomorrow. Hopefully.
Goodnight everyone ❤️
Good luck! 💜
🤞🤞🤞🤞
Have a good sleep, and best of luck tomorrow
Good night and good luck. 💗
Today sucks. Have been feeling crappy all day, and feel like I barely had a break over the weekend. Suddenly I understand the hatred of Mondays.
you told us why
Haha I understood this reference
Emergency temporal shift to another day?
Getting up this morning? I’m agin it. You have permission not to. I’ll sign a note for your bosses saying so.
Wish I’d seen this two hours ago. Was late because it was stupidly hard to get out of bed. But, now I’m here… and just missing my bed!
be really tired and under the weather at work then call in sick tomorry
A rare weekend where I avoided all social media and the news. What happened while I was gone?
A couple of numbats popped in.
Into our sacred space? How dare they!
downfall of humanity, same as always.
Carry on then!!
Spoke to my friend who got hit by a car. She’s still in hospital and in for a big recovery but it could have been a lot worse. I’m so relieved. I just don’t understand how someone can sail out onto a roundabout and clean up someone right in front of them on the roundabout (who also has right of way). I really like being on public transport more and more.
I’m so glad. There are some terrifying drivers out there.
I almost had two accidents on round abouts the other day in my large bull bar’d van. Both times people cutting in front of me turning right. I’m one of the fewer people who use their indicators for direction and exit in the roundabout too. In retrospect, I’m thinking about selling it, so with the dash cam maybe I should just go for the write off.
heads up we got some rain incoming. The forecast looks considerably worse than it did yesterday. And we are gonna get wet tonight by the sound of it.
Sorry - I bought an awesome but not at all waterproof puffer jacket the other day. I have clearly doomed us all
Thanks Tiny, I’ve got the washing out! I must be on the same bus as this morning (RIP nose) and the driver’s going flat out like it’s Targa Coburg , so I may get home in time!
No rain here yet but I’ve seen the weather change. It was practically dark at 4:30
My dental checkup this morning led to two fillings as well. One of them is just a fairly short term fix and I’ll need to look at a crown when it fails. Tomorrow I have an appointment with the dental surgeon, who will be removing a broken tooth, before doing two implants in a couple of months.
I’ve been saving up towards all this for a while, but the money is going to be disappearing very quickly. The decision to sign up for extras on the health insurance again was definitely a good one - stretching the timeframe for getting the crowns over a couple of years will mean I’m getting more back than I have paid in premiums for at least 3 years, four if the filling today lasts long enough.
Going to the dentist is one of those things that absolutely fucking sucks, but sucks less than the alternative of not going to the dentist, unfortunately.
The lack of stability and positive role models in my life has led to having some absolutely fucked teeth. Today is going to hurt, but if I get all of my work done before March, I won’t have to pay for any of it. After that, though, I think my teeth are going to be held on with tape and prayers (or more accurately toothpaste, mouthwash, Panadol, and prayers)
If you can, get a referral to Western Special Needs Dentistry - they are so damn good and completely non-judgey. They do a lot of work for people with sensory issues and phobias and are completely up to speed on that sort of thing. See my comment below.
Good for you! Dental stuff has to be the least favourite for most. Yeah, quotes on a new aligner run was 6.5k. Was hoping it’d be half that, so will be putting that off till next year.
None of it is cheap. I’m grateful I’m in a position that the work can be done and that I can manage to afford it. My mother has a lot of problems with her teeth, can’t get implants because she does not have enough bone density (and it wasn’t available earlier in her life when it might have been possible) and she is having a lot of trouble with dentures not fitting well. It really impacts what she is able to eat. It has very much motivated me to do everything I can for my teeth now. I’d rather skip a few holidays and drive an older car now instead of having all of those issues later. I just wish I could go back in time and get my younger self into good toothbrushing habits earlier in life so I’d have less work needing to be done now.
There’s something about someone burning their kids alive that makes me supportive of eye for an eye punishment.
something is very wrong with those people, 7 children and he’s only 29
cult perhaps?
Maybe some very old fashioned notions of what constitutes masculinity. Back before the AIDS crisis of the 80s, it was fairly normal for men to be very very hesitant about wearing condoms - fearing that this would compromise said masculinity as well as being uncomfortable. And unplanned pregnancy for their wives/girlfriends was a validation of that same masculinity and was something to boast about. Attitudes like that stink on ice nowadays, but still happen.
I’ve never met anyone with that many kids that isn’t a POS
eye for an eye? nah fuck that. Public execution. There are some crimes so great that rehabilitation isnt in the public interests.
An eye for an eye in this case means the offender would also be burned alive just like the victim.
I avoid the news usually so I had a google. I’m lost for words. Those poor babies.
Burn him at the stake!
Gratitude thread.
Got my uni results and even though I could’ve done better, I’m proud of myself for getting through despite going through a breakup. I’m sad I let it affect my results, but grateful that next semester, I can wholeheartedly focus on turning those results around, hopefully drama-free, with no one to disturb my peace :)
Despite my grumbling, happy to have 4 interviews today, and a call from legal team to find out what can be done about expunging my record
Got some good financial news yesterday which takes some of the stress off my shoulders
Fluffy butt as per usual
Meeting tomorrow with the GM of the company that gave me the offer so I can discuss the police check. Hoping tomorrow I’m grateful for a job
Fingers crossed! So excited for you :)
I’m grateful that I can drive with reasonable ease. I was in a major accident last year (hit by a semi trailer at high speed) and my car was squished. I somehow walked away with only minor injuries and I was back driving quickly, and I’ve made myself drive regularly, but it’s only in the last few weeks that it’s started to feel normal rather than something super stressful. Healing.
So glad to hear this <3
Mid day yawns are killing me right now. Had a solid night’s rest, waited till 9 to have my coffee…to no avail.
Absolutely dying for a nap, but have meetings all afternoon.
Stupid cozy clothing.
Kids are so dramatic. Kid in the waiting room flipping between screaming tantrum and smiling happy.
I guess we all slept well last night …
3 chairs done , now I have a system it’s doesn’t take too long
Yesterday was bleak. Hangover and new illness all hitting at once. Feeling better after a good sleep in. Taking the day off otherwise - without sick leave feels different, no work no money is the sucky part of self employment.
Got to witness the birth of a bogan-mobile over the weekend. Some neighborhood teens were trying to install a f off exhaust on a red p plated commodore… with a hammer. I REALLY wanted to roll up my selves and jump under the car with them and go “right, lets get this bastard on. Then we’re tackling the sub and installing the LEDs strips under the dash right? Also if your headunit isn’t already multicolored LED we’re ripping that out too!”
I’m up! Again!
Sitting in a fish and chips shop in Melton and a dude saunters in wearing a dressing gown, beard and ponytail. This guy should be on a government list.
The bom app has been claiming it’s raining all day and it still isn’t
Dentist went alright for me too. I went to a new one that’s more of a community type one that’s mostly subsidised. Because I’m under 18, it doesn’t really matter where I go, I don’t personally pay for any of that (it’s either covered under school medical, the Medicare subsidies, or worst case child protection will pay for it), but I thought it’d be a good idea to switch to somewhere I can actually afford to go to once I age out as well. He cleaned my teeth, but didn’t use any of that nice fluoride stuff my last one used. Just that water spray thing with that little standby tool on the end that sounds like someone scratching a plate with a streak knife.
My teeth, surprisingly, aren’t as fucked as I was expecting. But I need a filling and all of my wisdom teeth are impacted, so I have to go back in a month for the filling, and get a referral to the dental hospital to have my wisdom teeth out. Scary stuff. No fun
I cannot decide for the life of me if I want to start my piano lessons this term or next term. I need something to do right before the uni semester starts and also something to ground me besides the gym and cooking, but the exxy-ness is kinda putting me off.
Had a mate sell his first car recently. He is in his mid 30s now, and yes it was a toyota. Sad day for him. I decided to look up my first car’s rego. Loved the shit outta that thing, sold it probably 12 years ago? maybe more. It was utterly ruined when I sold it! A combination of its previous owner, age, high km and a young 20 something me living his rally fuckboi fantasies in it. The rego was cancelled jan this year. So it went on to be driven (or at least parked and rego paid) for another 12+ years. Cant believe it! The quote I got to keep it on the road 2011/2012 was $10k. I sold it for 2.
Im a bit heartbroken. I coulda kept it going way longer than I thought.
Wonder if I can order the number plate and just shelve it for now till I can one day stick it on a WRX?
Ugh! My bus to work this morning smells like it’s been used to smuggle rotten garlic and onions.
damn, dog walk took longer than anticipated and now I have to drink the coffee I just made in 5 mins. And Miss Meow will have an early lap eviction.
