  Father dead. Zero clue what to do with this information. Boyo no help would be celebrating demise of his.

    Condolences. Now comes the hard part - being kind to yourself and your immediate family. Which will be damned hard. Take time to process your feelings - either positive or negative. I found both. The one true purpose of funerals/memorials is that organising them helps to process those feelings. Be aware that other family members will have different feelings. The damned part is being patient with them and validating their feelings as well as your own. Don’t shortchange yourself in that department. Take whatever time you need. Sending vibes to help when the feelings ambush you. Which they will do - usually when least convenient. Been there and done that myself. I found a grief counsellor helped me a lot after my bloke died during covid. The language of grief/relief can be grimly humorous too which I found to be an unexpected bonus.

    I’m really sorry. Take as much time as you need to absorb, it can be complicated

    I’m really sorry. Even when you know it’s coming the death of a parent is really hard. Know that it’s OK to not be OK for a while, but that you will be OK again. We’ll all be here for you and do whatever we can to support you in our limited way.

    Thinking of you ❤️

    I’m glad for you all that his stay in pall care was not prolonged, and I hope that his comfort and care were exemplary. Grief is a funny thing, and you are among friends here. ❤️

      It’s a chapter about honeyeaters and habititat. The pics are different flower shapes they get nectar from.

      The subject I’m doing is “Backyard Biodiversity”, about primarily about creating habitat in your garden for a range of native species.

  It’s just been Mr Woof and I at home since the middle of the week, and at first he was super duper anxious, lying near the front door, waiting for everyone else. Last night, I went upstairs to my room to check the temperature, and he started fluffing up my bed to sleep on. He’s only ever done that if my mum is in my room.

  now he's enjoying the sun

  In Albury for the night on the way back. I’ve definitely had my cup filled (but already missing being out in nature all day and all night, and physically very tired from various tasks). It’s an absolute oven outside. Thankfully the AC was running at my accom before I arrived so I’m just chilling for now (got a free upgrade to Queen, score!).

  Debating whether to get a proper meal for dinner or just some ready-to-eat stuff from Woolies… Might splurge on the meal tonight and get some crackers and dip for breakfast and the rest of the drive home tomorrow.

  The forecast’s back up to 40 for today and tomorrow for us northern suburbs types. Which isn’t a big difference from 38 in real terms, but psychologically…

  I’ve been to the gym (which is also a large council pool, it was bananas) and I’m hibernating with the cricket for the rest of the weekend.

  Stay cool! Remember to eat all the icy poles.

  Yeah… there’s soap powder residue on my cutlery so I’m having to rinse under the tap before use. Hopefully it’s only because it was in the rapid cycle but there’s nowhere to put rinse aid in this machine and it’s not very convenient to load. I’m also having to let things drip and then put them on a dish towel to finish drying.

  Buyers regret. Like I am happy the dishes are getting done because it’s my hardest task but it’s also creating more headaches. Pisses me off because it cost.

  Guess I’ll use it in the meantime but will start saving up again and this time actually get something better, something I can see in person. When I get another one I can ask if anyone I know wants it or donate on Givit.

  Dammit. I have a split mail on my finger. Think I made it worse after snagging it on some clothing.

  Got a spplit right on the side and about my probably 2 or 3mm long.

  Put a Band-Aid on it for now so I don’t make it worse.

  Have to abort my heat hibernation to go to friend kid’s birthday, I really want to stay under my air con.

  After trying to work up the courage to get ready and then go to the shops for the last 2 hours, I’ve given up. The shop I want to go to requires a 15 minute walk, but is open late. Given that, I’ll wait until it cools down a bit

  The situation in Korea is wild right now. There’s an arrest warrant for the president, and his personal security guards (and public supporters) are physically blocking the arrest from happening, and apparently they only have a few more days to wait until the arrest warrant becomes invalid. What the actual fuck

  Well that was a bummer.

  TW animal death, mice

  There was a mouse on the footpath in a really bad way. I scooped it into the empty paper bag I had avoiding touching it and carried it home. Was thinking to put it in a box with some water. Ended up leaving it in the bag because any moving really agitated it. It wasn’t drinking from the plastic lid so I tried to give it water from an old syringe but that just made it more panicked. (I know you shouldn’t try to drive water directly like that, you’re advised not to, I just thought at that point helping it drink something maybe outweighed the risks.) I left it alone and the next time I checked it had passed. It’s buried now - in a far corner where nothing edible will go. Unsure if heat, rat poison or disease (no visible injuries) but I made sure to avoid direct touching and washed my hands. ___
