I'm so excited guys. We leave for NZ tomorrow. My very first OS holiday. Eeeeeee.

All packed and ready. I'm told I will be holding the special sim card. I will be the human WiFi while the others suckle from me. I have had a giant coffee. I will not be sleeping tonight.

Forgot my meds this morning, wrong day to choose to walk to work (though the walk is actually quite nice). Had to use work car to duck home at 11 and take the meds because I was not coping. Rest of day has been utter shite. Am phenomenally tired and getting grumpy and resentful and feeling unappreciated. Reaching end of tether. Everything looks bad right now especially the huge pile of dishes that makes me want to cry.

I will put on some music, do the dishes, boil some pasta, chop up the asparagus and zucchini and garlic and an onion, make a pasta dish and call it a night. Then ignore everything else. I can do it.

E: I did it. Limping towards 9:30pm but I made a big dish of pasta (decided to flavour it with some Szechuan peppers for a change!) enough for tonight and two lunches. Washed up all those dishes as well. I think when my pay comes through I'll be looking up bench top dishwashers in earnest

and I’m having tomorrow off🍻cheers

'tis the season

Every few months I need to attend a pharmacy to grab a medication. A lot of people who take this medication are ex substance users.

I have a great relationship with the owner, and she often is quite flexible and friendly with me. At times I've had to call her mobile to get her to explain something to the pharmacist whose serving me because they've made a mistake.

Generally their treatment of people such as myself is quite poor.

The pharmacists she employs absolutely hate my guts. I think they're annoyed that someone who they consider scum is doing quite well. And to be honest, I play it up when I'm there lol

I love every minute of it.

If you want to play the superficial status game, then I'm going to rub it in your fucking face lol

So I've been reading about Healthcare Batman. He has been caught.

He's very handsome so that will be good for him in a jury trial.

He's ideologically motivated , that is very bad in a jury trial.

He's a vigilante who doesn't believe in accountability, which I don't agree with.

His target was a totally evil man and the world is well rid of him.

US and state governments have failed the American people by allowing such evil to exist for decades.

This will be an interesting trial.

Would something like hand cream be an ok gift for little ones teacher as a thankful? I know they get a tonne of chocolates and mugs so trying to think of something that might be helpful.

The swelling in my finger looks to be starting to go down, finally. It's still quite swollen but doesn't give the impression of a balloon ready to pop anymore, which is definitely a nice improvement. The pain has also died down, so I'm back to working on my assignment (I got a short extension, to prolong my torture). My typing is very slow with one finger not working, but Miss Meow is helping, by putting her head on the keys so I can't reach them anyway.

"hey we need to move over 1tb before Thursday, can you help?" "Nope! but have a great day"

I followed up on the job I did reference checks for because it's been two weeks now. The recruitment person said she'd get back to me. In that time I got an email saying I was unsuccessful. But the hiring manager is on leave. This is all very confusing.

Since this progressed to references I expected to hear back with an offer. Not that it was guaranteed but that's how things normally go. We're around two weeks out from the end of the year and I was kind of expecting to hear back on this job so the whole thing has just thrown me mentally at the moment.

Staring at Monday in an early 1900's house with no sisalation or anything really

Today is self care day and book a holiday day. 🙂

free coffee at work. now THAT is how you win some favor.

So, ah, yeah....I just increased the font size on my phone by a click...it's not blurry anyomre

I'm back from the shops. PS: If you're with a mate who has chronic BO direct him to the deodorant aisle asap. I was nearly fucking sick 🤢

I just managed to cut the webbing between thumb and first finger on the dried oyster sauce around the top of the bottle. At least I'm already on antibiotics so I don't have to worry about infection. All I need now is a good solid stubbed toe to complete my misery.

Why does Sigis yogurt no longer come in tubs, only in toddler pouches? No thankyou, I’m older than 3 I don’t need a squeeze pouch and also I object to unnecessary excess plastic packaging.

Only food I'm eating today:

No plans, so Stardew it is! I have so many animals now lol

8 Days of work left. Thor, lend me your strength.

Or your hammer to smash the skulls of idiots.

Bleh. Just dealt with something really unpleasant and lost my appetite.

I hope I got the last of them and they don’t return. Never had this problem before.

Hope vinegar and water does the trick.

My plants are still thriving in this humidity, myself not so much.

Although, yesterday was a beautiful day for a ride.

Yo

@Baku!

I forgot to post yesterday…

Edit: Chiko Roll if it’s not clear. BP before or around Little River.

And I dropped a full plastic magazine holder on my mini whiteboard, 🤬 and dinted it good and proper.

So annoyed with myself. It’s ded.

Last-minute Crowdies tickets obtained for tonight! Neil Finn's music in all it's forms has been a big part of my life, so I always try and catch him when he's in town.

That said, the new CH album does bore me, but hey can't win em all :)
