Brains are amazing at recovering and reconfiguring. It will get easier. You’ve done so many hard things, and come through it. We are here for the vents any time you need it!

Effigies of your enemies to toss into the fire? Arrange some stones into a henge?

Book review. Have just finished listening to the audio book The Wager. It’s a naval history book, not something I’d ever normally select but it came strongly recommended. It is a WILD story. 1700s journey from Britain to South America. Shipwrecked, stranded, scurvy, starvation. Human behaviour and choices in the face of these extreme circumstances. And somehow a few barely alive survivors made it back after several years. Their story was a public sensation in their time. Early in the book I had to pause a few times to look up various naval terms, but was pretty easy listening otherwise. Very engaging.

Visiting Northland is a game of roulette - will I be stabbed, suffer smoke inhalation, or get run over by a rampaging car? Maybe all 3 if visiting on the same day?

Thornbury Witch has given some very good advice. Also be aware, that if you don’t currently meet the deposit/income criteria for a mortgage from a regular bank, you will certainly not be getting a better deal elsewhere. Because of the high risk to the lender they will charge higher interest, fees etc. It will cost you a lot more. Best to save more deposit. There is nothing wrong with renting if means you can live comfortably and not be mortgaged to the eyeballs stressing over every dollar. I’ve never built new so I don’t know anything about finance + build schemes, but I would be too uncomfortable. Are there kickbacks to the builder? What’s the fine print? What recourse do you have if there’s problems with the build? I would feel much safer with a regular bank loan.

I have brunched, I have shopped, I have put on a load of washing, and I have bought Whitlams tickets. So far so good today.

I have no option on mesh vs upholstery, but have strong opinion that any desk chair needs to full adjustable in seat height, tilt, back support, arm rest height. Because everybody’s body is different and getting it set up right is that’s what’s gonna make it comfortable for you.

So sorry. These people sound obnoxious.

You can buy smoke alarms that have a CO alarm built in. Bunnings. You don’t need to install in roof if all you want it to do is monitor CO. Just put it in the room where you sleep or room with the heater.

Same. Would love to live amongst some fresh air and views, but having to work means can’t do that. Maybe retirement!

Went to the big shops today, bought 2 pairs of jeans and 2 jumpers in the sales. Was a bit busy in there but the sales were good and jeans were needed and a good buy.

If your body clock feels better to nap during day and stay up later at night, just do it! You’re not bound to any one else’s schedules, just do what is best for you.

Very undeserving.

I’m not sure what this means because the cuticle is the thicker skin stuff between the bottom of the nail and finger? Do you just mean the skin gets nicked because you cut too much off the top? You could try washing/disinfecting the nail scissors or clippers. Bacteria might be living on them that keeps reinfecting any nicks each time you do your nails. Order of operation is wash hands, disinfect clippers, then trim nails. Hopefully that prevents any further instances!

She keeps asserting her lies until she gets completely cornered by the evidence and then changes the story and comes up with some excuse for the lies. Excuses like, oh I was embarrassed, oh I got confused, etc. I think she did it.

I have a splitting headache. Had 2 Panadol and a coffee about an hour ago, has dulled it a bit, but it’s still there. Today will be unproductive.

I’m so sorry.

I believe it is most productive to work to your body clock preferences, whether you are an early bird or night owl. Societal arrangements generally favour early birds, so some of us are just permanent double shot caffeine addicts in the A.M.

Best way is to just start. Even if you feel the output is useless gibberish, and just keep at it for at least short time, maybe 15-30 min if you can. Then take a break and revise the gibberish, you’ll be surprised there will be useful starting points in there, or you’ll think this is all wrong, it should be xyz instead- and there you have it, you’ve started and have a direction to go in.
