Well done on the motivation! If you have any tips please share.

Run. Say you have a better offer or something, do not mention the ‘some guy’, as your reason, because you don’t want to give HR a heads up to remove it. Best leave it there for other people to be warned too.

It’s unsettling to know it happened so close to your house. Agree that machete ban is useless. It’s just for show, because the government wants to seem like they are doing something. If you have a teen that doesn’t care about getting caught for car jacking, aggravated burglary, stabbing, murdering, gang violence, then why would they care about something so minor as owning a machete. It’s nothing by comparison.

There needs to be both effective deterrent and effective rehab, ie jail and education and support programs. But that costs money, better that innocent people get attacked and if they are lucky escape with lifetime ptsd, if not just die via machete murder. The world is depressing.

Very much hope DIL and baby will be ok. You are an angel for helping. Sounds like a very stressful time for the family.

I have bought myself my first mango of the season. Bit worried it’s too early for them to be good yet, but the aroma got me when I walked past them, couldn’t help myself.

Great news! Hope she has a speedy recovery.

Oh no, she probably really hates the feeling of it. Hopefully it’s not for long.

Woken up by loud birds. Why sing at 5:30am, why?

Yeah this happened to me once when I lived in an apartment. If you don’t have a spot to hide a spare key, leave one in your car, or slide one into your wallet (wallet is not ideal because it will probably contain ID with address on it, so at your own risk)

Edit: for the car, you can use a magnetic box so it’s stuck somewhere you can reach with out needing to open car because of not having keys.

And you too. People from regular families don’t realise it can be upsetting seeing all the happy jolly Father’s Day stuff on TV or social media. All the people who come from DV situations, absent fathers, neglectful etc; hope they can feel that it’s ok. It’s not your shame it’s theirs.

I won’t argue. I reckon potato quality has been declining for years. I’ve tried all the supermarket ones and ones from green grocers and I just can’t replicate the fluffiness and flavour of baked or roast potatoes I remember from decades ago. Where. Are. The. GOOD. Potatoes.

It’s probably because there has been a flood of ADHD and Autism diagnosis requests in the last few years due to greater awareness. And it takes 10+ years to train a psychiatrist. So there’s a sudden massive demand but no extra specialists. I know that doesn’t help the frustration but at least it might help explain the wait times.

Today is national wattle day. Hopefully you encounter some of the fluffballs in your travels today and enjoy their joyfulness! Bring on Spring!

Good luck hope she recovers well!

Happy Birthday!

So comforting.

Watching tv but am getting tired so will turn the electric blanket on so it’s starts to warm up while I get ready for bed. A very boring night.

Got woken up by the weather several times. Hopefully the worst of the noise is over.

We were all wrong. It’s fun and catchy.

It’s been a miserable news week. Porpunkah, bus crash, Iranian religious attacks in Australia, shooting in US. And the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Palestine, and everything else. I like to keep informed but sometimes it’s better to just switch off for awhile.
