Good points. However, being the Mum and the least sick looking one means 👩🏼⚕️+🫧🧹🧽+👩🏼🍳+🦸🏼♀️+🧞♀️ and whatever else. I really don’t play this stuff very smart do I! 😆
Oh damn :(
Hope you aren’t feeling too bad from the symptoms and you get better soon.
:(
ohh :(
Damn, I’m sorry!
Oh noes 🙁. You tried…
Probably inevitable…
Doing my best to avoid it so far. Not much of a life but can’t risk it unfortunately. Hope you get better quickly op.
I hope you get to rest and recover well!
You did all you could. I hope you have few symptoms and a speedy recovery <3
I’m so tired and cranky these days. Everything is just a hassle
Why can I only press the upvote button once? I’m mashing the button and the number isn’t going up by more than one…

I took about 5 years worth of e-waste to the tip. And then bought myself a cherry pie to celebrate a tiny bit of adulting.
It’s so nice working for a normal company. Internal is such a better deal.
Goodnight everyone ❤️

Seeing perfectly happy and innocent kids be themselves and seeing their drongo dead shit parents kills me inside.
We have tests for driver’s licenses, we should have tests for people becoming parents.
Got an aunt who works in childcare, she says the EXACT same thing.
I’ve got mates who cause of their unresolved issues are fucking up their kids, so they decided to have another kid. Like. um… what?! how about NO guys.
I’m wary of tests.
Pretty sure I have family members who would ace the test because they intellectually know the right answers and can express themselves with authority because they are educated.
But in practice they are not good parents at all because they have shit personalities.
And then there would people who are not very literate or well educated who would stink at a test but who are great parents.
iow, what are we testing and how are we testing?
Honestly I don’t know what we could test. Too many variables. I do think that some kids lose the genetic lottery and are born into shit situations. If we could prevent that, that would be great.
Test:
Tester: “Do you want kids?”
Testes: “Yes”
Tester: “Wong answer”
It really breaks my heart when I see this. I once saw a woman aggressively screech ‘shut up you cnts’ to her two toddlers crying in a supermarket. Seriously what chance do these kids have? When youth crime is committed, people often comment ‘where are the parents’. Well the parents are deadshits who don’t care and were probably doing the same thing when they were kids. We can’t expect these kids will get help from their families, but no other options for ‘parenting’ are available other than foster care. All you can do is hope that against the odds, as adults they are able to overcome the shitty birth lottery they got, and start a normal life. The ones who succeed are truly amazing.
The problem is even if they manage to live a normal life, they will be missing things most people have.
And because of that, they might find it hard to relate to the average person.
And they don’t have the safety nets either.
I think to myself you poor bastards you never had a chance
thank you. We’re doing our best but he is a handful. 🤣
I’m coming to a very sobering realisation that my mind really isn’t as capable as it was five years ago, it’s taking a lot more effort to understand academic journal articles and new concepts than it used to. I spend so much energy on maintenance tasks and quelling anxiety, that there isn’t much left for novel/challenging thinking outside of a conversational context
hi are you me?!
understand academic journal articles
I’m not reading the room quite correctly but I just forgot why I went to the fridge… twice… so I believe in you :)
I took my washing off the line and took my letterbox key with me.
I don’t have a banging social life or much physical capacity, so I’d always relied on my brains as something to be proud of but even that’s going downhill too :(
I’d accept it if I was more capable of ripping out 10 metre long retaining walls and growing bushels of vegetables …at this stage in life I feel like I’ve dumbed myself down to a pencil pushing automaton. I guess I can still change that just that it’ll take more effort than imagined.
There is no such thing as too late. Believe me.
I tried to put my dirty plate in the fridge instead of the dishwasher.
of course it’s harder to learn new things as we get older but it’s not from any lack of ability or stamina
At an older age humans have a vast bank of knowledge and complex world views that explain and unify all the knowledge.
Each new piece of knowledge had to be tested for correctness and whether it fits in the world view. The world view is also tested to see if it is still the best explanation for all the knowledge acquired. The more knowledge and more complex the world view the more testing.
It can be tiring.
I hear you. Just concentrating on staying on top of stuff is exhausting
I thought some life admin would become less taxing with experience and age, but I find that they seem to take on more of a mental load and not just from the post viral fatigue.
Trauma and covid will do that. Don’t blame yourself, it’s got us all
shakes fist at google sheets
Fucking Alphabet changing the shortcuts for their Chromebooks and suites from the accepted standards -shakes fist- pretentious af
A packet of twisties is forthcoming to my stomach. A mighty fine appetiser lol
Study day, discovered I’ve filled most of my assessments as we’ve been going. I’d forgotten I’d done that. So my homework is already done. Just watching some YT vids of vets showing safe practices to handle various animals, and animal behaviour.
Every day I am grateful to be doing this for myself.
I wish I was that organised! Although I have done more than I thought but it still is like pulling teeth.
I’m not perfect lol, we do what we can! Getting any task done is an achievement worthy of praise, no matter how big or small!!
Well done! It’s a huge step that will pay off in spades ❤️
Better than I was when I was in highschool lol, prolly because I’m not trapped in a classroom of ferals ha!
Thank you! I’ll keep it up so I don’t fall behind! More time to chill on my days off heheh
Same for me in high school, plus the dumbass rebellion on my part.
I went back a while ago now and studied and it was a great time!
Oh yeah I feel that, I didn’t attend year 10 at all haha.
It feels so good to go back as an adult and be fully invested. Not just because of any money spent for the course or degree, but because we do it for ourselves, to better ourselves.
That’s a gold medal performance, well done!
Ahh thank you! 🙇♀️
Eeeeeee!
Eeeeee!!!
You and I can do this, fellow student! 💜💜
Yes we can!
Hooray survived the 8 day outta date cheese kransky from last night. Flying a bit close to the sun. It did burn the roof of my mouth though but it was delicious so only a small price to pay.

does wendy’s still exist?
It’s still around, barely: https://wendysmilkbar.com/
There was still one at Eastland last I checked, as well as Parramatta in Sydney.
There were also stores in Chirnside Park, Waverley Gardens, and Cranbourne, but I’m not sure if those ones are still open?

If your my sibling you’re also missing the last step: get the banana smoothie thing and spew in the car. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! My mum used to get pissed off like she wasn’t the person responsible for buying my sibling the drink that was proven to make them spew every time they got it. Like after 4 or 5 times mum, lets be honest YOU are the problem here.
Okay so I think it was someone in here who recommended Potato Utopia chips and I’ve diligently waited and they’re almost at half price this week… time to try it out tomorrow night I reckon.
Ready to start my day.
Frothy
such a beautiful day, seems a shame to stay inside so I’ll go for a walk in the park. :)
