        I’d like to take the credit but it was all her dad’s doing.

        I sat in the pub today and happy cried twice in the Vic roads office. That’s my contribution.

      Maybe we should send him $97-60 for an Uber home - via text message from a site in com.ru

      Got one of these a while back purporting to be from my son to pay for taxi home. Given that he was in San Francisco at the time I should have leapt at the opportunity - cheapest fare home from there I’ve ever heard of.

    Mickey is getting his annual vaccination tomorrow, before he can stay at the cattery when I’m in Perth.

    Ugh. Every time I travel to Perth, I always say I don’t want to stay for a long time because I hate leaving Mickey and I’m a homebody. So why did I agree to three, almost four, weeks 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

      As a homebody and recent survivor of a Perth family pilgrimage, you will be tired but it won’t be as bad as you think - heck you’ll probably even have fun! Mickey will have enough time to make friends and get comfortable, he’ll he fine.

    Well that was an interesting drive. Had to navigate a set of failed traffic lights, two separate wheelie bins that had blown onto the road, and a small fallen branch. It’s windy out there, take care.

    2nd interview went ok. I was pretty nervous tbh so if it doesn’t move ahead that’s ok. But the guy did tell me what the next steps would be.

    Fingers crossed but I’m still applying to other jobs of course.

    My butt is being kicked by whatever is going on with my mental health. The fact that from next week onwards, 25+ sets of eyes will be evaluating my performance at least twice a day, plus the resources I manage to create, is scaring the shit out of me. I’m really worried about not having time to do stuff and not performing. I dislike that I get overwhelmed so easily.

    But I am reminding myself that I can ask for ideas.

    Last night, I stupidly ate a chilli in an attempt to unblock my nose. Today, I am reaping the consequences. Just an upset stomach. Nose still very much blocked. Yay!

      Have you tried nasal sprays?

      Potentially better than a chili

              Oh dang…even the baby balsam? I think that’s low (or free from) camphor.

              There’s steamer liquids you can get, bit if eucalyptus (if that’s okay) and other stuff that helps with congestion.

    I’m switching back to my old Huawei from my Pixel because I don’t want to buy a new phone just yet. The Huawei feels so much nicer and it still works fine, I only got a new phone because the usb port was getting temperamental but I’ve cleaned it and it’s working again now.

    The Huawei actually connects to the Guest Wifi at work so that’s a big bonus already. Using my phone here was a headache because it’s a mobile blackspot and my phone would just stop pulling data on the wifi.

    Everyone stopped selling Huawei because they knew they’d be too powerful if they were allowed to continue in the west. At this point I’d gladly degooglefy my life for another one.

        It doesn’t work with the wifi network at work and some of the ones at home. USB port is going to shit, they chose to not connect video out to the USB port, battery hasn’t been great, updates make it worse, slow on some applications (like it gets so hot and slow on balatro but this phone has been fine), and I need to get a new phone now because of the massive camera bump. It must have been my keys that smashed the glass when I fell off my bike
