Finally caved last week and installed Facebook. There's some businesses/organisations I deal with that only have a FB page. Decided to look up half siblings I haven't seen in decades and actually found them. Dithered for a couple of days before sending friend requests. 2/3 were accepted almost immediately! I had an exchange of msgs with my brother and feel so chuffed, happy in a funny kind of way I haven't felt for a long time. My nephews and nieces are adults! ADULTS!
Got the results from my blood test today and suddenly a lot is starting to make sense AND there may be a way to turn things around for both my physical and mental health. Feeling optimistic. I got the medical cannabis (from online doc not doc doc, a while ago) to try and help with the sads but found it doesn't really do anything of consequence for me so I have a bunch of weed that I'm not super interested in. Although, the indica does help with getting to sleep when I can't get to sleep which is its purpose so that's alright.
Also though, apparently my sugar is a little high so they want me to do a 3 hour glucose resistance blood test thing to see if I have the diabeetus (like my Dad does). My levels are nowhere near the levels Dad gets though so we'll see.
22.5 hours to ten days of CAT. I must tidy up the house a bit for her - so she has more nests to sit in. And avoids the pots where plants died and it's all just dried up potting mix.
Oh, and there was so much gardening I wanted to do before she arrives, because I can't have her escaping via the balcony, but I don't think I'll get to it in time... so she might have to be shut off in a bedroom for a couple hours when I get around to it. Though at the rate I'm procrastinating it might only get done after she leaves.
I had to visit a client on site today.
There's a lot to be said about being well dressed and how it makes you feel.
Not in a vain way, just feels good.
Morning full of meetings, only two left this afternoon.
Sun is shining. Going to do a kitchen declutter later. Gonna be a good day
Did everyone else get the “Energy Bill Relief” email?
I have a feeling that this is just more “corporate welfare”.
I expect everyone’s Energy providers to inflate prices over the next 4 months by about $75 a month.
I recently changed provider because the government energy website said my bill would be half of what it was; guess what; it was exactly the fucking same!
The sooner the Government de-privatise the Energy sector, the better. We will also see an end to the Fracking Industry’s astroturfing against renewables.
So much dust, soot and pollen to clean up, the seagoons are being over run and sneezing 🤧🤧🙀😿😾
Hey @Bottom_racer@aussie.zone can you please tell me your dipping sauce recipe for dumplings. Much appreciated.
Good night everyone. Sweet dreams. 😘
today has been an odd mixture of flinging washing, dirt and servers everywhere.
Went out to dinner tonight.
You could see everyone's, social battery run out at 8:30 on the dot. One guy literally got up and left.
I know we're all of a certain age, but still...listening to the score of Vertigo, it's just amazing/beautiful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txvgd60hLPk
I'm having shitty sticky thoughts after a recent nightmare, so whilst I engage in some mindfulness, here are some memes to make light of the situation. Also fun fact - yesterday a lecturer said in a talk about sheep digestive systems that the word rumination means to chew the cud. Sheep and cows are ruminants.
Cover letter's being a bastard, and I'm all the more annoyed that when my brain gets stuck on something, it absolutely wants to get that thing done before moving on to something else.
Admittedly, the Witching Hour's probably not the best time for it, but there unfortunately aren't much by way of good alternatives.
