❤️ the white bits!
Those little feet 😍
So the rash is subsiding through my using cortisone cream and calmoseptine😃 My test results are in, so I can see my doctor on Thursday 😃One of my kids are going to school today 😀 Mr P has an appointment at Peter Mac, so I have to pick her up from school.
It’s all coming up PeelerSheila!!! 🙌🏼💜
Fuck yessssss!!!
Good news. 🙂
My sister’s asked me to help her move some stuff out of her storage unit and I’m happy to help and I will shut up and do as I’m told and i will not lose my temper and throw something at her and I will not question her even though she does things the wrong way and I will pray.
When I was helping my bro and SIL move their shit recently they did fuck all and I’m still bitter. They didn’t even prepare things for moving. I rocked up to a complete mess and was expected to both organise their shit and move it.
They just stood around watching. When I was carrying their (heavy) chair from the truck, bro said “oh can you just put it in the lounge room” which was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The audacity. I said fuck off. That felt good.
You should’ve thrown a “What’s wrong with your fucking legs?”.
My biggest fear is we will get half way through moving boxes for her to decide maybe they should’ve gone on the otherside.
I’m also gonna hear a lot of “this is what I want” with unnecessary explanations. As my husband says " just shut up and deliver the baby".
“What’s wrong with you
r fucking legs?”:)
Send them an invoice - at $100 per hour minimum. Plus travel costs. Add danger money if they get rude.
In hindsight shoulda done that heh.
I hope CEOs help goes a bit more noticed. It’s an awful feeling being used.
She’ll appreciate it and say it a million times.
duuuuude, learn to stand up for yourself.
I used to be a removalist.
I feel your pain lol
You’re a braver person than I am. Soricide is still against the law, but soooo tempting in these circumstances. Still, its her stuff so she gets to decide.
I am brave.
your sister is silly
cos I’m thinking sometimes it’s really nice to have someone I trust tell me I’m wrong or doing something wrong and then show me the right way
That’s not the way she sees it.
I see it as them saying “let me help you” 💖
I understand other people may see it as “You are wrong and stupid and less than me.” 😈
No. It’s more “I have a reason for this. Let me explain it to you. It won’t take long”. Meanwhile I’ve just watched grass grow.
ugh, self hair pulling ensues
I’m old. All I care about is the results.
Lol just woke up from a stupid nightmare in which my LL sent me a message on reddit and she was dumb enough to have not used a burner account; she was saying all kinds of horrible things about me on landlord subs (with people goading her on) but also complaining about burnout and her partner stressing her out. I started screenshotting everything but the anxiety eventually woke me up. I really can’t wait to put her in the past (and someday put all landlords in the past…)
Things I’m particularly grateful for today:
- a job where I feel safe and supported, wanted and not alone
- a good friend I could call and mutually share what’s troubling us, someone who totally understands anxiety and is honest and genuinely shows up when asked
- having the motivation to cook from scratch and relieve some of the bodily anxiety
Yep, it’s another big batch of Hoppin’ John tonight, healthy, cheap and delicious. I’m going to eat dinner in bed now with the OMITB finale on. I’m going to be OK…
I’m so glad to hear there was a bit of good stuff in your day. I am grateful I just found out about Hoppin’ John - just googled it and I think I might try a batch on the weekend.
Sounds yummy 😋
Yes I first found out about it years ago when I was wondering what to do with black eyed beans. I make it with vegan sausages scrambled up separately and added in at the end. Plenty of onion and garlic. And eat it with basmati rice and lime pickle. If you do try it I’d be keen to know how it goes.
Yumm
I used to make similar with sliced Spanish chorizo instead of bacon.
I should make it again, it’s easy and delicious and very satisfying
Glad you’re ok, and the Hoppin’ John sounds like a dish that really nourishes the soul.
Edit: tired shit spelling
It is really earthy and wholesome. It’s a bit of a pain soaking the beans but would be perfect for an instant pot. I’m so glad you’ve had some wins as well esp on the health front!
hugs , those are good things to be grateful for 😊
Pumpkins are carved. Hopefully they last till Thursday cause we’ve got no time to do them between now and then.
That is fantastic. You can roast the seeds as well.
New workplace takes absences seriously. Needed med cert for my single day off (needed for one day off if absence is Monday or Friday). Also had a “RTW” chat with manager who asked why I was off, am I okay now, any ongoing issue, anything they can do to help, etc. Quite invasive and definitely serves to dissuade me from future sick leave where it’s not absolutely needed - which I suppose is why they do it.
Ayup. Welcome to the wonderful world of corporate ‘care’. Jobs not done till the paperwork has been filed.
Do you have a workplace agreement or something in place that details exactly what you need to do and when if you need a sick day or carer’s leave?
While this isn’t quite the same my workplace is majority female. I once told a story that when a manager here was being quite full on with asking why someone was away they got a detailed recount of the menstrual cycle and their period.
That manager stopped asking people why they were off sick.
It’s even more fun trying to communicate the full breadth of menopause to a 30 something male manager.
In our latest EBA they asked for menopause leave, government said no 😑.
It’s shameful how 40% of sick days are on Mondays and Fridays.
This doesn’t seem remarkable as stated given 2÷5=40%
I think that’s the joke 🤣
I hope so!
That’s funny 🤣 I know our EBA did specify Mondays and Fridays were mandatory med cert so that’s no issue. Wasn’t expecting a 15m chat with manager asking about it though
That grinds my gears
I don’t think they’re meant to ask why. Do they have the right to do that? :/
I googled it afterwards. Looks like they can ask, but can’t ask for any reasons on the med cert. You can refuse to give them any info I guess but they might not receive that warmly, even if you’re allowed to. My last employer wouldn’t have asked any of this so it’s new to me
What happens if you’re a carer and not the sick one? Do you take your kid to get the medical cert?
Relevant here, as I took the day yesterday looking after a sick kid. Getting to a doctor would have been a challenge as he was in no shape to ride and my wife had the car.Good question. I’m not sure if Telehealth scripts work for carer’s leave - it’s what I used yesterday and it was fine, no mention of it being a lame type of cert or insufficient in any way…
I get a carers cert from the doctor. Usually telehealth. Or stat dec it.
comPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST
giant bed dug out, time to fill it with rotting veggies and compost soil and half rotted wood and old shredded mulch and worms hit and chicken poop and humus plus and all sorts of wonderful things so I can stuff my banananananna plant in
Hit dat bed with the good things!
party time for all the little worms
If my sister can grow banananananas in Jacana, then you can too where you are. Hers even ripened and were edible if not quite as good as Qld ones. That was last summer, which wasn’t ideal weatherwise. Best of fortune for your banananananas.
oh I know I can grow banannanas down here, been doing it since 2017. finally able to bed up the beast instead of potting it
I grew some bananas here in Carlton. Just make sure you have the right kind of banana, not all are edible.
I want to go to bed, put the doona over my head and pretend I’m somewhere else
I actually did that yesterday (WFH). Told them I’m taking an hour for lunch (I worked back), put my headphones on with some trippy lofi and a blanket over me and a towel over my eyes and just disappeared for a bit. It did help. Hope you get to burrito yourself soon
You ok man?
Thanks for checking :) Just a shit day all round. It’s OK, it’s over now.
Everything alright?
Just one of those days. I’m all good.Thanks for asking :)
Glad the day has improved for you. Sounds like a shitty client might’ve been part of it. Hope you get to sleep off some of it and that tomorrow will be much better for you!
Me too.
Solidarity.
Friendly reminder if you already put the kettle on: Dont forget to pour your tea/take the teabag out/leave the tea on the bench.
Also- remember to drink the tea.
I do this all the time oops
I fall in love with every broken hearted,
Black-haired singer, poet, artist,
I’ll never be the muse that inspires that rush,
Of a cascading all-consuming star crossed crush,
I’ll just remain a stereotypical poetic trope;
A smoker, a toker, a poet without hope.This is rather good. So much so, that I googled it looking for what these lyrics were from. Since I couldn’t place the song.
Colour me impressed:
No results found for “i’ll never be the muse that inspires that rush”.High praise! Thank you Sir!
Good night everyone. Think a happy thought when you close your eyes and have sweet dreams 😘
❤️
Sky pretty. Little wisps of pink and gold - lovely.

New glasses day. It will be nice to not have a perpetual headache!
