Goodnight all ❤️

I don't think I've seen a more blatant example of main character syndrome than seeing real estate agents putting themselves into videos showing the house they're selling.

And I don't mean talking about the house. They're in the video sitting on the couch or opening the door to enter with all this dramatic music playing, or staring out from the balcony all reflective and stuff.

Good lord.

So there's three people in my team. The good one is leaving. Which leaves the one who is honestly like dealing with a child.

Ah well.

My performance review went great though!

Tonight's mood booster is some peri peri mock-chicken strips bought on a whim yesterday. I shall throw a zucchini in there for helth, and half an onion, and.. idk. Eat it with rice... cooked in broth! With cloves and cardamom! (I highly recommend the latter for really elevating even the simplest rice dish.)

Also just remembered I stress-bought frozen dumplings last night. I'm set for lunch tomorrow, woohoo!

Since all the cool kids are flexing their clivias..

I don’t know what dinner is going to be, but it will be hearty and full of veggies. That description fits almost everything in my freezer

GP check up and blood test results said plenty of sunshine, a nice fat piece of steak, and steroid cream

I pooped by Aldi to grab a loaf of bread and saw this.

Not an egg in sight. Is it really that bad right now?

Haven't had the heart to tell my supervisor at this job that I'm seriously mentally struggling atm. I'm off for a week from Friday night so I feel like I should see how I go with that before I go any further. I think I'm going to have to leave one of my jobs and cut down my overall hours to make this work, but it's really bad timing in terms of workload...

Home sweet home. I’m going to throw some laundry on and crack a bag of Doritos

Christmas tree arrived. Woo.

Grave of the Fireflies is on Netflix.

I don’t know if I can face complete emotional destruction on a Tuesday night

fell asleep on sofa before I finished cleaning up after dinner

nearly done now, just waiting for floor to dry

my life is so excitement ...lol

some flower pics, it's early spring and most flowers are small but they are nice and bring colour and a promise of warm weather and sun to come 🙂

My wins /gratitude list today

✅ up at six after a good night's sleep.

✅ Good food packed for work

✅ Yummy coffee is yummy.

Probably having my final assessment for my new role today, to see if they'll set me loose on the general public. Has been three weeks training so far. I am exhausted. I've been up since 2.30 tossing and turning stressing about it, picturing scenarios in my head etc. I'll get other chances if I don't pass but would be nice to rip the band aid off

Noooo. Just generally

'puter rebuild complete and I didn't break anything and it turns on. Which brings us to the rave. Upon turning it on I honestly thought I'd be watching everything burn right in front of me

One more assignment to do and that's another 2 units down. I wanted to get it done this week but I have to wait for the results of my previous assignment which release on Monday to do it because I need to use the feedback I received.

It gives me one week to get it done. It's only 800 words but I like having assignments done with time to spare...just in case so one week is giving me the twitches.

I’m too tired to do art or tinker with electronics. 😔 Maybe I’ll just chuck some laundry on

Spent a few hours last night on the couch in cosy pyjamas, under a soft blanket, ignoring the world and watching a new (to me) K Drama. Followed by one of the most solid sleeps I’ve had in a long, long time. Not feeling any better about being at work today, but at least it was a nice evening.

Phew, made it home before the porch pirates struck! They’d have been disappointed as it’s all cake decorating stuff, but I need neither the headache nor duplicate expense. Fuck I hope this party goes to plan.

I dragged myself into an Uber to the vet because they had stock… felt like I was gonna puke but bebe has her Fortiflora! She’s slurping it up right now.

Benefit of a person with COVID at home is that I have been told to WFH all week.

Oh no......anyway

mm, nom nom, the taste of turps. I just finished cleaning all the old wax and polish off my old sewing machine drawers. I did it outside but still 😝
