    I have a funny feeling my foreign name might be stopping me from getting interviews, so I’ve gone with a “Christian” replacement.

    Let’s see what happens.

    Oh no. I have a sick child at home. I will be spending the day disinfecting the door handles and stocking up on supplies.

      It’s the one time you’re happy for them to insist on staying in their room…

      and the one time they will want to roam the house telling you they’re siiiick

        Haha. You know it sista. It’s exactly what she said when she emerged from her cave, touched the fridge, opened the cupboard, probably touched all the spoons in the drawer and made a bowl of weeties. She’ll go back and hibernate soon.

    Autumn days are so beautiful. It’s like the world is resting after all the hard work of spring and summer and getting ready for winter.

      Autumn evenings, when the temperature drops are my favourite. Cozying up on the couch in a hoodie and trackies, after shorts and t-shirt during the day is so comforting.

      I’d like a little more rain to make me really happy, everything is so dry and the grass is so dead.

    This coffee ain’t doing it. And the tiredness will continue for a couple of days more. 7am flight to Sydney tomorrow, and another early-ish morning on Wednesday before coming home. Easter break will be for sleeping.

    Made some lovely banana bread yesterday to have for breakfast.

    By 8 am the loaf was gone (family helped).

      Tell me about it.

      Got two weeks off after this week, the longest break from work I’ve had since 2016.

      Which means this week is going to feel like a month. And then the fortnight after that will disappear in a flash :|

      Gonna feel like 2 weeks crammed into 4 days. Not looking forward to the heat this weekend either.

      Yep. This morning has been an absolute nightmare at work so it’s going super slowly but also so much work to squash in to the week.

    I won’t respond to my ex’s message, but boy do I want to. I just want to photos of our dog Ruby. My ex and I adopted her when she was 1; she’d be 10 or so now.

    Sweet puppy, my beautiful bow-legged Barb. Gosh how I miss you so, my Ruby-Rhubarb.

        Yes ma’am. I have partaken of a delicious broccoli and tuna pasta and written down many more Thoughts that have settled.

        This has sort of been a therapy-breakthrough type of day, without the $200 price tag.

        I’ve assembled enough angels to be able to call out all my career-related demons by name, and get both sides to look each other in the eye and shake hands. Sometimes they do look awfully alike… 🤔

        (One of those angels is you, by the way! I won’t forget your comments about being gentle with my reactions to things after what I went through with my last boss. This has given me a lot of clarity and calm)

    Oh boy I’m real tired. I had some stuff in my hand to throw in the bin and I walked to the laundry, lifted the laundry basket lid and ALMOST released before realising that a moment earlier I’d thought about picking up yesterday’s tshirt and putting it in the laundry basket and that’s how that all happened. I think I might make the effort to seek coffee this morning.

    So we keep a jug of water on the bench by the kettle and bottle maker. You’re supposed to feed the bottle maker boiled water that has cooled, hence the jug. I was in the kitchen cooking lunch when I saw the cat jump on the bench and start drinking from the jug. Doing my best not to think of the greater implications of this.

      I used to leave a glass of water on the coffee table for my kid when he was a toddler, until I caught the cat drinking out of it one day. Gawd knows how long that had been going on for.

        !! A childhood cat was utterly obsessed with earwax. You’d wake up with her giving you a good clean out. Weirdest echoey scraping sound.

          Don’t ask me how I know this but most cats actually love earwax. It’s even more addictive than Churu for some.

    Wtf‽ Wtf wtf wtf‽

    My ex just sent me a lengthy dm on Reddit talking about our relationship and whatnot.

    What the actual fuck? I was wondering why I woke up at this hour; I felt a disturbance in the force.

    Now I have to deal with this?! For real? Ugh wtf

      The past is past. One late night/early morning rambling dm doesn’t change that. You’ve moved on. Maybe ignoring the message is the way to go?
