  • Got the details for the funeral for my old colleague. I’m going to go, even though I haven’t spoken to him in years and years, since before COVID even. He made working at Computershare tolerable - guaranteed to make me cry-laugh with the jokes and witty comebacks he had for the micro-managers there😂 taught me how to handle those managers when I took over his role.

    It’s the least I can do I think, pay my respects and remember how he made me laugh so hard.















  • I’m used to it now to be honest - been in this apartment for 5 years this month, and prior spent 1 year in a CBD apartment 😂 The trains and the horns, the tram dings, overnight construction, hooligans in the alley, occasional methheads in the alley, ambulances in the alley, music from Sydney Road - it’s all white noise to me now. The soundproofing in my apartment is actually really good considering its age, the outside world is barely audible and I’ve never heard my neighbours in their apartments, only when they are in the hallway.

    It’s funny, I find it difficult to sleep in quiet environments now, like camping or staying over in suburbia. Im much more hypervigilant when I can hear a pin drop 😂


  • You are always welcome always to vent and just get it all out here!

    It isn’t light or airy, no, but it doesn’t have to be. This is what is happening in your life and to you, and it is worth talking to people you trust - even if it’s just this forum 💜 I get the pain of watching your mum deteriorate, even though my experiences cause was different, and it isn’t easy to look after them. The chores are easy, the mental energy and internal stress it takes to just be present and witness to it is draining. I’m so sorry you and your mum and dad are going through this right now, I hope your mum is able to settle down now she is back home and will accept food. Sending you all my love and good vibes, if I could give you some of my mental energy I would do that too 💜💜💜
