Melbourne

Most secret special potato cake eating spot (not really just the playground opposite the IGA / fish and chip place in pt. lonsdale):

Pretty easy to make friends there:

Early night tonight. Have 2 interviews tomorrow which I'm excited about!

Hopefully this saga ends soon.

Goodnight ❤️

Yaaay my street is on fiiiire

Im taking a day off day. It's 10am and I'm starting to crack already.

The rabbits

Still going through some boxes and shit and found these

Be strong mummy. Be strong. 😭

I've got a meeting Monday with an SLT member. If the outcome of this meeting is poor, I'll be retracting my request for a raise and moving on.

The straw has broken the camels back.

Well I've been doing the right things with my face, which is good to know. The Dr prescribed me some antibiotics so it doesn't get infected, and I made the nurse laugh with my home made wound pads. I'd bought some from the chemist but they just weren't absorbent enough. So I thought, what if I cut up a nighttime incontinence pad and sealed the edges with wide adherence bandage tape? Works a treat, is comfortable and has a stay-dry cover.

I was wondering what that giant smoke plume was

Just saw the news on the AA accident in Washington. 😭

(I have a reli that travels frequently using AA (they’re not on that flight). I feel ill. So awful for all involved.)

Feels like a Friday.

Oh why can’t it be Friday already?

So, yesterday I managed to injure myself in the most ridiculous way possible while playing tennis. We were warming up serves, and the other guy was easing into it with some slow servew. Naturally, I decided to match the energy by being incredibly lazy, barely moving my feet and just waving my racket around like a disinterested Jedi.

Then, out of nowhere, he unleashes this rocket of a serve. For reasons I still can't explain, I just stood there, completely unprepared, and decided my best move was to swing wildly at it. Of course, I was ridiculously late, and instead of gracefully returning the ball, I managed to deflect it into my racket, which immediately ricocheted directly into the bone right below my knee.

Ensues excruciating pain and I had to pull out of the first game (and asked my tm8 to play a singles instead as the format was 2 singles and 1 doubles) while I winced and iced my knee.

Safe to say, I won't be making any highlight reels anytime soon. 😭

managed to score a doctors appointment cause the mrs wants me to get a blood test and just check everything doing ok. might set up the spare bed as a fallback option tonight as well. See if I cant convince the mrs to do that thing married couples often do before they fall asleep (assuming Im up to it, which there is serious doubts right now). Hopefully that, some melatonin and a chamomile tea will be enough to get me across the line tonight.

For my cat fam…

I think the plan with this job is to learn the project management software they use, catch Project Manager Brain, and then just get really good at tracking other people doing the work instead of actually doing the work

This is my life hack: I have now started cooking early (during the summer) because the sun beams in through my windows at around 5 making me hot and sweaty. I don't want to eat when I'm sweating buckets. The man and the kid come home around 3 and 3:30 and they're hungry so this suits everybody. Now I can relax for the rest of the evening.

Just made a new friend chillin' on the 'puter screen judging my search history.

Made myself a real coffee today at work.

Everyone's come in early today, argh, it's too early to see everyone today.

Today’s much better all around

I’m at that miserable early stage of a cold where I feel cold and fatigued and brain foggy but otherwise my orifices remain closed and dry so I don’t look sick yet

I've discovered the true use for Instagram... Alan Partridge clips.

Goodnight everyone ❤️

Slept in after waking half the night. Garden is tidied up a bit more, might do a load of washing, cooking is already done, I'm taking in some nice pants I have because they are too loose now

just a weird day of doing a little of everything 🌞

also looking up how to freeze chillies as I'm getting a glut of them

Knockoff time

🍻?

Morning. I don’t know what I want for breakfast

Just took Elder to a meeting at his school to get ready for the upcoming year. Feeling very excited for him right now 😃 Far less exciting is after I drop him off at home I'm going to one of those urgent care clinics for my face. It's been weeping for a week due to the ti tree oil incident. I've been cleaning and dressing the wound several times a day and wearing a mask over top to hold it all together/conceal it/keep it clean, but I want some advice about whether I should be continuing with a "wet healing" regimen or attempting to dry it out to stop the weeping.
