    I just had a ham and salad sandwich for lunch. Salad just hits differently at the start of summer than the end. Give it a few months and I’ll be ready to stop the endless salads and go back to soups and stews for winter, but at the moment I’m all about the salad.

      i just wish I didn’t get so knocked about by the vaccinations , 12 days and I’m still tired

        I found the Covid ones made me horribly sick for 2-3 days then tired for a couple of weeks. Actual Covid was much milder but lasted about twice as long.

    Mentally exhausted with a black veil of hopelessness resting on my heart.

    depression

    That clanker didn’t call yesterday, so I’m relieved I don’t have to talk to it. I’m not expecting everything I want to be handed to me, nor did I expect it to be easy. But it does still hurt, and has me feeling so low as to question whether I’ve made a mistake pursuing this at all. Maybe I’m too old now and I should have just stuck it out in CC. Maybe that’s all anyone will give me a chance to do, and maybe I should just be happy with that. Just because I want something, doesn’t mean I’ll get it, I suppose.

        I’ve got my cert III already. To do cert IV in vet nursing I need a placement in animal industry first, hence why I took the cattery rejection so hard lol

      nooo

      you are doing the right thing , even in tough times education and pursuing a career is the best way to improve your life, it also means you are making the decisions as far as you can, not just letting other people determine your whole life

      I’m sorry Spud. I’m hoping an opportunity comes. If you’re going through hell keep going.

      source
    • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Im so sorry. It’s hard to miss out when you’ve put so much work in. But you shouldn’t despair yet. I know people who graduated from all sorts of things where it took time to get a foot in the door. But they eventually did, and it worked out for them. If you are still keen to pursue it, then keep going. This may be irrelevant, but are you able to travel out of town for work? I knew a person in a similar field who got a placement in a rural area, far less competitive. Commute might be tough for a while but might give you a start? I hope you can be kind to yourself, get some rest over the next few days.

    It actually worked and it’s pretty tasty. I panicked a bit when it came out because it was soft so I squashed it down a bit while it was still warm.

        I added 130g of dried and some chia seeds to make it more interesting.

        Next time I’d make it in a small pan so it’s a bit thicker.

    The Best Show is doing a list of top 50 luckiest MFers and some of the people that have made the list are Anthony Kiedis, David Lee Roth, and Dave Grohl for attaching themselves to bands of much more talented musicians that helped elevate their profile.

    I think they should include Mike Patton for similar reasons. He’s exceptionally talented but he joined Faith No More at the right time which helped elevate Mr Bungle and allowed him to launch Ipecac and do all his other projects. He’s an example of someone getting lucky for the right reasons and making the most of it

    source
    • useless_modern_god@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Phil Collins should be on that list?

        He was certainly in the right place at the right time to rejuvenate a failing prog band

    It was looking like the monthly grocery shop was going to be a bit cheaper than normal, then I decided to get some turkey and ham and some more dried fruit and extra butter so I can do some baking. Now it’s looking like it will be a bit more expensive than normal.

    There were so many ducks blocking the road to work moving very begrudgingly out of the way of my car that I felt like I was crossing a picket line.

      At least one of us has their ducks in a row

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        In a row is definitely better than the single duck that likes to wait on the nature strip and then run out suddenly in front of the car. Ducks really shouldn’t play chicken.

    spoiler

    I’ve been trying to catch up on cleaning and avoid rage bait/doomscrolling but I am not managing to pull myself out of a vicious depression hole. Failing at life and failing at art. I just want to move out of where I am but that seems hopeless. Also feeling vulnerable because I managed to crack my head quite hard a few days ago, and pretty sure I have a concussion. I’ve mentioned it to my Dr during a visit a few days ago but haven’t really had it checked out. Hoping it will pass if I take it easy. I really don’t want to have to go to hospital.

    source
    • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Noooo :( please go get your head checked out if you can, and rest up or the concussion will force you to.

      Also you’re not failing at life!! We could all be doing more, but this is everyone’s first time living. If you wouldn’t beat one of us up about it, don’t beat yourself up.

        My local hospital makes you wait 9-14 hours just for a bag of iv fluid, nobody’s available right now to be with Melbcat, and the last time I went I felt really unsafe from another patient.

        I told my gp who didn’t seem too concerned but I’m keeping an eye on it.

    Listening to PHM for fun.

    I learnt one new word, decrement.

    Reminded me how relaxing I find physics, it’s so orderly and is an exercise in clear thinking. ( yeah, you read that right )

    I like how it pulls apart the goldilocks theory, which I think only got traction because it has a memorable name

    it’s la-bo-ra-tory, not labra-tory 😉

    I found something about solvent free oil painting around small kids/pets that slightly sets me at ease. sophieploeg.com/…/safe-studio-oil-painting-withou…

    A bit doubtful about cleaning with soap and water but the brushes and paints were cheap and hopefully I can do the kitty litter dump of a reasonable amount of water.

    And found a small set of water mixable oil paints off an art supply site for a lot cheaper and am debating it.

    Now all I have to confront is myself 🫩😔 Which to be honest is the whole battle.

      I wash my brushes between uses but I use the same brush for the same colour or colour group as it it’s nigh on impossible to get perfectly clean.

      And have labelled my brushes with some sticky tape so I know which is which.

    Guys, I need some help here. I wanna make this recipe but step 6 has got me stumped. There’s no chocolate in the ingredients. Do I put it in and how much and what kinda chocolate or do I ignore? It’s doing my head in.

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        They did a cut and paste from a recipe that included the chocolate and just missed taking out that line. Very poor editing.
