    Work week ended on a slightly depressing note but it’s good to see you guys here.

    Been feeling like I have a massive constant headache lately, it’s a semi regular thing. Went to the pharmacist to renew my birth control and get some aspirin for my headaches. The pharmacist actually ran back up to me whilst I was paying to suggest that maybe I’m having a bad reaction to the birth control, it’s a potential side effect. I’m so grateful to her quick thinking. Heading back to my GP next week.

      Thanks for the supportive comments everyone. 🥹 I actually gave the FREE Nurse -On-Call service a ring as well, just because I started getting a bit worried after reading some other potential symptoms I might be having. Regardless the nurse was so thorough and amazing, and I didn’t have to leave my bed. It’s a free service and saves a trip to the doc (I’ll still go to change my birth control).

      But anyway, +1 for free Nurse on Call.

      The brand of bc I started on gave me the worst headaches around the ‘sugar pill’ week every single time - just knocked me out for several days every month worse than my normal period symptoms ever did. I switched to the generic version of the same meds and it has mostly gone away now. So it’s is very likely! Good on the pharmacist for suggesting it!

          Oh noooo, yeah it could be the bc then 😬 Definitely see if you can get a change up and see if that helps.

          Also, I don’t know why the generic $7 version of mine from Chemist Warehouse doesn’t generally give me headaches but the $21 brand name version from the normal pharmacy fucks me up but that could be something to try if you still have refills left and don’t want to go to the GP for a new prescription.

    This is one of those weird days where I feel extremely good about myself and life and things but part of that involves cheerfully imagining work doesn’t exist at all. I stare at my inbox and to do list and it might as well be hieroglyphics.

    Me: I don’t watch to many period dramas Also me: that cobblestone wall and iron gateway were featured in…

    Although to be fair on myself I do have a pretty intensely vivid memory, a glance is usually enough for me to remember something, it’s like an uncomfortable super power.

            I love seeing a main character with incorrect layers interact with a side character or some extras who are properly layered. Also love it when a main character who is poor is wearing fabrics well above her status, like Miss Poor would absolutely not be able to afford any of that outfit, not even the shift.

    I warm up quickly, but I get legit cold which is a wonder with some of the body fat I carry.

    Like I am waiting for a flight dressed like an Eskimo. I have a tee on, a heat tech turtleneck, a jumper and a poncho that looks like a sleeping bag.

    Meanwhile, stylish people just be jeans and light jumpers… or even just tees. I’m wearing more than an older adult couple sitting a few rows away from me. 😂

    Gah. Apparently my offer to the house was the best and they have indicated they will accept it but there is a hiccup on a house they put an offer on and waiting on it to be sorted before anything official. I’m not sure what the hiccup is or how it affects their plans if it falls through but still more waiting and hope.

      Still more waiting and hope for them for an even better offer to come through. Sounds to me like there’s a mismatch between your offer and theirs on their new place …

        It could be. It definitely wouldn’t surprise me. Though as I understand it (because I know which house they are wanting) is they put in their offer before I made mine.

          I really really hate REA games with offers and counter offers. I know the thrill of the bargain plus amount of commission is a major motivator for them, but it’s really really hard on us normal people. I never did see what people saw in auctions, but at least the pain is over quickly I guess.

          Whatever is the problem I hope that it is resolved soon so that you know what you’re up against instead of leaving you hanging.

            Thanks. Unfortunately looks like it won’t be until next week. Didn’t hear anything yesterday and I doubt I will find out on the weekend.

      Yeah, likely they need your money to buy the new place, but they’re waiting for the other vendor. Hiccups can be a real pain in the esophigus.

    Here’s my cheeky spoiling for myself.

    A massive jar of lollies!

    Just over 2kg worth of lollies.

    BBOI came to visit. Can’t keep him still for a good photo because he’s launching himself at door handles like the clever kitty he is.

    I kinda feel a bit pensive tonight for some reason. I stood out on the porch listening to the rain hitting the roof just starting off into space for a while earlier. I guess it’s one of those nights
