    Feeling a bit suffocated under myself. I’m sleeping too late, spending way too much time on my phone and am struggling to vocalise what I need. Left work early because I realised I was just walking in circles and getting frustrated.

    There are some older people in my team that don’t quite understand how a QR code works. They say ‘this poster needs a QR code on it.’ so you ask, ‘where do you want it to go?’ and they kind of get lost. Same with the concept you need to build the destination for a QR code before you just put one somewhere.

        I get it, a sticker of another QR code over the top of another one can take you to a number of fun places. Not ideal but these are going on some farm equipment to access the maintenance manual so they won’t be super public once bought

    Yesterday was really tough.

    Melbcat was quite uncomfortable still, crying and fussing, and needed an extra top up even with solid pain management. Really hoping her antibiotics kick in and offer some relief. I understand antibiotic stewardship but still wish she hadn’t been made to wait so long for treatment. (I was advocating the whole time and kept bringing her back because she wasn’t improving until they finally agreed.)

    I spent most of the day sleeping outside of dispensing and picking up more meds because I have an infection too, plus really struggling in other ways.

          Honestly there’s not one that I prefer over the others.

          I can tell you I prefer using Spud Lite over all the other potatoes. That’s about it.

      It’s a toss up between roasted in duck or bacon fat, and mashed with garlic or spring onions. Really couldn’t pick between these two formats. Chips don’t speak to me in quite the same language.

            Load mashed potato is really good too. Add bacon, spring onion, garlic and cheese. Mix it all up and lay it flat in a shallow dish and add more cheese on top and bake. Yum.

    Found out Melbcat only got a little over a weeks worth of antibiotics so I managed to get the vet to bump it up to 3 weeks (against manufacturers advice). I hope that’s long enough that it does something. I’m getting her checked as soon as she finishes them to see if she needs it to continue.

    A lot of things have been happening aside from this and I’m so stressed.

    I’m spending so much of my life overwhelmed and fucking scared.

    Unless I get this ADHD under wraps, Ps get degrees. I have decided I will be sticking with this course for the casual teaching opportunities whilst I figure out what I want to do. Could do a mix of casual, and TA work, until the regulatory people say I can’t work anymore until I complete this big project that everyone has to do to be fully registered. I like being in the classroom, but the disrespect sometimes just puts me in fight-or-flight, even if they aren’t intentionally disrespectful.

    I think what I really want to do is help people like me sort their lives out. Could do careers, but most of the opportunities are part-time in a school and are given to teachers. I guess I’ll have to suck it up
