    I’m at the ED at hospital. My mum was in a really bad car accident. Thankfully it’s just bruising but it could have been much, much worse. Her car was totalled. Driving up to the accident seeing all the police / ambulance / fire truck lights and then her totalled car was truly scary. I’m just thankful she’s OK. Waiting to do scans to make sure nothing is broken, then I’ll drive her home.

      Good job totalled car, it crumpled on her behalf. Drive gently on the way home. One of my repeated memories of post accident issues was how much the drive home sucked because I was all beaten up and resisting the mild g-forces as a passenger was suddenly a painful struggle.

        You just reminded me of an accident I was in as a teen where we had to go over the railway lines to get to the Drs, and then again to get home. The whiplash!

      Thank goodness she’s ok! It is a truly scary experience. 🫂

      Good job ex-car. She should probably be playing some Tetris.

      Oh goodness!

      It must have frightened you terribly.

      Hope you’re ok as well.

    Just went out and there’s a for sale sign on the house across the road. The caravan, the trailer, the two cars are gone. This is the same cunt who floors his hotted up torana down the street every weekend and then revs his car outside my place while his wife moves the 2 cars so he can put precious back in the yard. He also yells at his 2 little kids aggressively. Fucking hero. Best day ever.

      So the wife has to move the Camira so she can move the Commodore so he can get the Torana out?

      I was stoked when the local meth dealer moved away, good bye to his giant bark all night dog too. I had a little celebration with his neighbours that I’m friendly with.

    Back home after picking up my mum from the hospital. I left around 3am once we realised she wasn’t going to get seen by the doctor for hours, and I would be too tired to safely drive her home. Took until 10am to get her scans done, and 3pm to get the all clear, so a long stint in ED. She’s just got some bruises and she’s a bit sore, so glad that’s all it is.

    I went to the tow truck place to clear out her car and she’s lucky the collison was on the passenger side and not the driver side, because she would have been severely injured. The other person involved was completely fine, newer car with way more airbags that cushioned the impact.

    Barely slept last night and all the driving around today, I’m exhausted.

    Yay: my mum got her eye surgery moved forward after much pressure

    Nay: it’s on Anzac Day and my aunt can’t go and flights are stupidly expensive but at least my aunt has offered to chip in.

    Looks like I might be doing a week back in the equatorial concrete jungle soup. Maybe a good opportunity to focus on writing uni stuff… Shame it’s my favourite time of the year in melbs but honestly all that is irrelevant when my mum’s eyes are at stake.

    Last day out at this site that would seemingly never end. So badly quoted… not my problem though. I’m glad today is it. Can’t say I’m going to miss wrangling the drivers of the M1.

    Had a long text chat last night with a friend at my old workplace who was stressed out of their mind after being dressed down by a client due to providing faulty data… it was a continuation of a big job I’d done a few years ago and while I think I was able to help my friend work out what happened on the technical side of things, and how to respond, I saw an excerpt of the email he received and I’m still residually stressed out this morning even though it’s not my problem at all now haha. I most definitely don’t miss those days (even though the original job was one of the more rewarding ones that we did really well out of). Had a moment of reflection on the really really shitty year I had with flaming out badly and getting bullied by my boss and I’m so happy I was able to come out of it on the other side and look back without too much pain.

    I want so badly to draw or do something but not enough to actually be able to do it. It’s like my mind and body are fried.

    Almost a week after the iron infusion I’m aching, nauseous, have a splitting headache and going between hot and cold.

    Came home late last night from the psych to find mrs and tinyest eating 2 minute noodles out of a bowl on (as well as off of) the floor. Apparently this was the “compromise” to get him to eat. Glad I washed the floor the other day.

    I just got confirmation the car dealer has received my bank transfer. So I can now stop stressing & the pickup tomorrow is ready to go.

    Now I’ll have to get used to the blinkers being on the other side. Plus the fuel tank is on the opposite side to what I’m used to. At least it’s not as much of an adjustmant as Mr Woof will have to make, he’ll need to get used to travelling in a crate instead of having the whole back seat.

    Something disastrous happened the other day. We eat a lot of pine nuts so whilst in aldi I thought I’d grab some more. I didn’t check. Just through them in like an amateur. Well, when I got home, I realised they were pepita seeds. Some turd put them in the pine nut box! Wtf am I gonna do with pepita seeds? I already have some in the cupboard. Luckily I have cashews to save the day.

    My own fault for not checking that one time.
