I prefer that money be used for housing. People are mad the games are cancelled but how much angrier would people be if he wasted 6-7 billion for 12 days of athletics.
Today I am 32. I am properly in my 30's now and still have no idea what I'm doing with my life!!! But it's okay because I'm eating cake for breakfast.
In-person interview Friday arvo. Universe, may I please request a small win in the form of a prompt response from this company? thank you
edit: ty for your kind words and emojis - you are all so amazing and beautiful ๐ญ ๐ ๐
Lizzo was amazing again โค๏ธ I struggled with the fact that a lot of the people in my section just did not stand up! It's Lizzo, it's dance music, you gotta stand, dance, and enjoy...so I did. Lol. I did sit more for this one then Mondays concert though. Is this standard for concerts? Because for both Lorde and Harry, we stood the entire time.
Oh no. The Bad Feels (blood rushing to face, starting to feel congested like you're about to cry) started to happen and I've been left hanging after a conversation. Burying my face in the cat isn't helping. What do. I'd eat a pizza if I had any appetite. Maybe I'll shut off the world and get into a good book like I keep threatening to. My eyes are getting too tired for TV...
The man is watching Enter The Dragon. The way he sits there like he hasn't watched it 20 times is pretty impressive.
It has been a rather lovely day today. Six hours work this morning, plus a bit of online shopping for some new shoes. This afternoon I was actually able to get outside in the sunshine and do some planting and weeding. Mr Woof got three walks, so he's pretty happy, and Miss Meow is currently enjoying some lap time (purring like a little engine). Pork rissoles and tray baked vegetable are on the menu for dinner. Plus I don't have to work tomorrow so don't need to get up at any particular time in the morning. I am judging today a success. ๐
Manifesting my tax return to come through tonight as my ADHD assessment money is officially coming out and I'll have no money until tomorrow night (pay night).
I just microwaved a sweet potato everyone so my recertification for posting here is up to date.
Butter chicken for dins..
Not mine though. Parents scored it from their apparently golf club's kitchen and gave it to me.
All I have to do is reheat it and fuck up the rice.
I made way too much lasagne.
It might have overflowed a bit into the oven. This does, however, mean there are some good crispy bits.
Phone interview scheduled for this morning, soon.
Might go for a walk later in the afternoon.
For now I'll stay seated drinking my coffee
Waiting for another job to tell me they like me
edit: @[email protected] @[email protected] - went well, in-person interview will be set up soon for the coming days, hopefully I'll be making bank soon ahahha
Fuck. One last bit of paperwork from my old workplace and I'm finally free of it. I'm still undecided as to whether I'll take a bunch of further action against them or not. I have nothing to gain and being vindictive is not in my nature. Justice however is a different matter. I'll seek some psuedo legal advice from one of my best friends who practised law for a long time, he's also been a life coach, mentor and father figure and I've always taken his advice, as it's usually so good.
Walked nearly 10ks yesterday. The body is getting used to it slowly. This sprained wrist is only healing very slowly and may be getting worse again. I bought a better support for it but the new job and constant use of my hands outside it means it's going to be a long haul I think.
Working again today and who knows when for the rest of the week. I'll manage financially for the time being and with any luck won't have to touch my savings. Just going to have live frugally for a while, which is fine. I have almost everything I need, so stopping having a disposable income won't be a big deal. Just have to quit wearing make up and buying expensive skin care products, which is also fine. There's peer pressure from other trans women a lot I find to "pass" meaning people can't know you're trans. It's bullshit pure and simple as far as I'm concerned. I'm happy that for some people that's what they want for themselves, but I've never bought into gender stereotypes and I'm not about to be bullied into starting buying into them. It's also really important to be visible at the moment I think as well. I'm not winning friends by being direct about my response to this, but I'm done with trying to be a people pleaser.
Thanks for reading, journalling here is therapy and its good to be regular with it so I can look back over this time down the track and see what I was doing and feeling and such....
Kthxbyte xo
Hey what do you people think of Dan's decision to axe the com games?
I think this is a very important turning point in Australian politics. For the first time ever the good of the common people have been prioritised over business.
None of this crap about job creation we would get from the LNP. The facts are plain, games are a cost and the losers are the people.
And we can't justify it as being a PR exercise in the Cold War, we aren't in the Cold War anymore, it's turned into a hot war that we backing .
Great call, and it's annoying the media outlets are by-and-large trying to make it an even bigger deal than I feel it needs to be. I understand that a few sports stars are put out, and regionally speaking it hurts some areas in some respects - but we could be fucking celebrating the fact that a fiscally responsible decision was made, and one that should still provide benefits that are needed more (like housing) compared with the cheap Olympics ripoff the Comms games are.
Strong indifference.
heavy GenX vibe
Not unique to just you guys. Millennials over it too.
I'd honestly completely forgot we were throwing it for a bit there heh.
I hope it sparks discussion about the obscene costs and requirements involved with other sporting events too (it won't though probably).
In the current financial climate, I somewhat respect it. But struggle to care much about it.
My friends only became aware of it when the cancellation announcement was made.
I don't really have much interest in the Commonwealth games and if it's going to be a massive loss in budget I'd rather go without it.
Could also do without all the intense media coverage too.
Bit over ordering Didi or Uber 20 minutes before work and they rock up so I'm late to work. So I'm finally contacting a driving instructor who is good for folks with adhd/anxiety so I can get my P's. I guess now I have to save up for a car.
I changed my phone wallpaper, font and icon style last night and it feels like I got a new phone! That scratches that little itch I had. The hardware of my phone is still excellent so there's no need to get a new one.

Thereโs nothing wrong with rewatching shows/movies if you really enjoy it. Just starting on a rewatch (lost count) of The Mist (2007)โฆ and no I do not recommend the series that came out in 2017
Morning all. Iโm stripping my bed to do my sheets
Time to go to bed. Anyone wanna join? I snore but I cuddle good
Feeling a bit weird today. I need something, but I dunno what. It was not a coffee, but hey at least I ruled that out haha
A hot jam doughnut.
A duck! A ladder! A waterballoon! A certificate of achievement! A Team! A Bee, See! A sense that you've gone on holiday and left wet clothes in the washing machine at home! A single fettuccini noodle! A country song about a dog! A list of random nonsense! ( ๐ค ) A turtle!
spoiler: a turtle

Oh god... I remember reading something about this. I think the answer was "water". As in, if you're not sure what your body needs but it need something then drink some water. But that might be for headaches.
Fuck it. Default to whiskey. That'll fix what ails ya!

Small insignificant rant. I browse news.com.au. I'm not going to apologise. I want to know if anyone's died or if anything has been recalled. I don't bother about any of the other shit. Occasionally though something might catch my eye. Which brings me to my next rant.
Macca's. Now I love a cheese burger, filet-o-fish and nuggets like any other little piggy but when times are tough and all you have to offer is your shitty little sauces I have to ask "is that it?". How about bringing back your loose change menu? How about your 24 nuggets for $10? Stop with the crumb throwing. Show as a decent deal.
Now reading Kingdom Come, the 1996 DC Comic miniseries.
I feel like I ask bar guy how his day is quite often but I don't really get the same back. If I start talking about something, he will try to listen though.
Is it worth even bringing up that he doesn't ask?
I have the same with my guy & I tested the water by just saying what I wanted to talk about as I figured I could more easily just say my peace rather than asking him to change. It has pretty much self-resolved as he listens and then engages and asks clarifying questions.
Itโs kinda been nice to realise itโs okay to talk about myself without prompting. I can see it really assisting with open communication between us.
Hope you work something out that suits you too. ๐ค
Starting to feel a little more human today, but aside from doing some washing, am forcing myself to continue resting in case I undo all of the good work my resting is doing. Just hoping for some sunshine so I can lie in it for a bit.
Ew just found out my best friend listens to Joe Rogan's motivational stuff. She's a messy person who falls pray to bullshit quite often so I can only imagine she's hanging on every toxic unhelpful word he says.
Ages ago I impulse-purchased the best earbuds you can pretty much get (WF-1000XM4) thinking I could force myself to enjoy them considering so many people like that format of headphone. I've been an over-ear enjoyer for many years and always felt like buds would fall out of my apparently little ear holes. They've been sitting in a drawer pretty much since I bought them but I'm once again trying to use them now that I bought some aftermarket tips which apparently help. Been listening to some folk music while doing the dishes over lunch and it has actually been alright! I still keep fiddling with one of them thinking it feels like it might fall out. Not sure how many others have this weirdness with inner-ear buds.
It is nice not having the weight/heat of the over-ears. I might take these on holiday and see if I can finally get some use out of them.
Meanwhile; kitchen is clean, mixed some chamomile & grapefruit oils into my diffuser and I have a cold drink. I'm ready for this afternoons meetings.
I am eating potato salad.
Aw yeah potato salad
Deserves a proper ballad
Bacon in it, Bacon eats it
Sour cream and mayonnaise it
Some gherkins and some celery
Sprinkle on some parsley
With apple my Opa would make it
Lick the bowl, don't forget it
