Up late with a coffee and a smoke (i know, i know)
I sit wondering if life is just a big joke
A passing thought only, it doesn't overstay,-
Into my river all fears are swept away.

Got some of the wonderful old gender euphoria back today. I haven't changed perspective or had anything special happen, it was just seeing my reflection in a shop window and seeing my figure looking a lot more feminine. People think trans women just want to look like cis women, but hrt changes us in so many ways and I reject cis normative ideas of what women are supposed to appear like. If I feel more femme I just fucking well am. I've kinda stopped journaling as nothing much different is happening lately so I'm glad today I can mark time again with a note of joy.

Yesterday I read an interesting thing that made it easier to understand the inner life and relationships of narcissists and sociopaths

"They consider us, all people, as flightless birds.

That's quite profound. When I think of how I think about birds. They can be amusing and pretty, some are annoying, I have no personal attachment what so ever ( unlike with mammals ) I have no qualms cooking them up for dinner.

I ... am ...so ... hungry . must stay on diet 🥺

Only an hour and half and I am at last on my weekend! Have two cars I'm test driving tomorrow and then it's sweet FA and night shift prep.

In exciting news, it looks like the cons of having us back in the office are starting to stack up and managements feeling a little pressure from a few directions to boot us back home for all or part of night rotation again. Crossing all the limbs because doing nights from home was the greatest thing to ever happen during covid.

Prefill data finally came through. Not grumpy at all about the pathetically low tax return this year, no siree, 250$ is surely in the same ballpark as $2-5k in past years...

my feet are cold so i'm going to read in bed

Off to see the broom-rider this weekend 🧙‍♀️

Okay, it's been a few hours and I'm still in character creation (it's expected, it's how I roll), and I've narrowed it down to a gold dragonborn, but can't decide on a class.

Sorcerer, Druid, or Ranger? Druid and Ranger for Speak with Animals and Animal Handling, respectively. Sorcerer because I love them.

my love affair with the patties sausage rolls is OVER.

I know I've said it before but I'm super serious this time.

Do we need more cat tax pictures? :)

Oh my god. I’m here wondering when my podcast gets uploaded and realised it’s only Tuesday.

Bleh!

Also I crave sugar :(

good bye good bye good bye bad, hello hello heaven

My puffer jacket isn't uniform but I'll be damned if I'm taking it off this morning. I've even recruited my under-desk heater because I couldn't feel my feet. This is more like the Melbourne winter I remember.
