Update: phone call made. Case manager was understanding and took me off Difficult Client’s schedule. Also it transpired that the system -at least the scheduling system - hadn’t been updated and was showing me still in Cheltenham.You got dissss!!
Thanks, I did!
Literally on the ground laughing
Lol 😂.
It’s like the divers Bacon/Cook. The Man cheered them on.
I don’t fold it in half for anyone so only work with feet and metres
Know what I am saying
How did you know?
Compared against some mates around a campfire, you know how it is!
TGIF 💪🍾😪🙏🙏
The end of the day couldn’t come fast enough.

I feel this is my soul.
Fishes for you too and a cat to help you on your way.

You cunts are brilliant and classy

Massive week in Hobart. My back is killing me. Nothing a frosty beverage can’t fix, Cheers 🍻
🍺
I don’t know any other way to do it. Lol
See how do I do that without screen shooting it first. Please tell me master.
How do you do that?
I went and found an image on my phone. Copied it then came back here in the voyager app and pasted it.
Copy and paste always works on a desktop when I’m need emojis.
On my app though it failed a few times before it worked.
Edit: to clarify I did a Google search for an image.
Excellent. I will be asking more questions tomorrow.
Bloody hell, it’d be literally frost down there. That’s cooked
Melbourne mornings have actually been colder last few days. Lucky you🍀
Booooooooo
I was in Hobart once in winter on a day when Melbourne was colder, and I knew because every single person I met told me about it. They were very proud.
Cheers everyone and 'ave a great weekend 🍺
Cheers!

Back home after sleep school. I won’t say finally a chance for a regular night’s sleep, but lets try to keep up the good habits with the kids and there might be many good nights’ sleep for us in the future
On the migraine train today…
Think this has been my worst one yet.
Anti-gratitude thread
The delayed phase sleep syndrome I’m dealing with. Even when I’ve woken up early and gotten shit sleep, I can’t seem to fall asleep early. Going to the pharmacy to get my hands on some schedule 3 meds.
I’m gonna make meatballs and I don’t appreciate having to stick my hands in cold cold meat. It makes me feel icky.
I wish toast stayed hotter for longer. It’s so often cold. I am ungrateful for lukewarm toast.
How do you even get diagnosed with DSPD in this country? I always get Drs and psychiatrists telling me to go to sleep earlier and be very dismissive when I ask for sleep tests done. Normal sleeping pills don’t work at all for me, the best tools I have are agomelatine, clonidine, and cannabis (all taken together if I need to force a sleep bc of society).
Anyways, I’m not grateful for dismissive doctors who think I am trying to get pills off of them to abuse. Also fuck my sleeping disorder!
Yes fuck your sleep disorder :(
I didn’t get diagnosed with it, but I think I have a delayed phase thing going on. It might not be disorder level, because I’m not sleeping at a mega ridiculous time, but my rhythm is just kinda in shock and I haven’t been to sleep before midnight probably in about two years.
I think it’s more a bad habit per se. Although no matter what time I wake up one day, I will still not be able to fall asleep. It’s strange.
I am ungrateful for it being really hard to get replacement brushes for my robovac. It’s cheaper to get a whole new unit of a different brand. Intentional Design obsolescence pisses me off!
I’ve only tried melatonin (gives me poor quality sleep) and weed (give me poor quality bank balance) for my DSPD. Is there anything else you might recommend?
I notice that I tend to have bad dreams more often when I take melatonin, but I’m not sure whether that’s an actual side effect or just a case of getting better quality sleep, and for longer. What dose did you take?
Melatonin is 5mg, doctor then suggested I crush it, which surprised my GP. I don’t dream either way though.
Ah right. I was prescribed 2mg capsules, but permitted to take 2 of them if 1 didn’t work. These days though, I’ve gone down to 1mg tablets, and I take another if need be. I find that if I take over 4mg I get very groggy, and sometimes struggle to sleep the more I have. I took 7mg once (bad night), and the next day I could barely function.
That said, I know a dude who takes 15mg, which just seems truly excessive. But it’s mostly unregulated in the US, so they just gladly sell 20 or 30mg tablets. more than 30mg seems to be considered dangerous, or at least risky, although it doesn’t seem to have been well tested.
I haven’t tried any medications for it, but yesterday anotherspringchicken recommend restavit or phenergan
@LowExperience2368 @DolphinLundgrin I ended up using Restavit too often and decided I needed to try something else. I now have a script for Endep (amitriptyline) which is safe to take long term if needed, it really helps me sleep.
Thanks @[email protected] and @[email protected] for the info, might have to pick this conversation back up with my doctor. Cheers!
Ungrateful that my filling seems to get really painful when I eat/drink anything hot or cold. I think eating dinner is what brought on the pain yesterday. Had similar pain today after I drunk some cold water and let it over to the left side of my mouth. Apparently I just need to avoid eating anything warmer than room temperature for the next 2 weeks, when apparently it’ll fix itself 🤷♂️
That sounds like the nerve is irritated. Not fun, but at least it means your tooth is still alive and you don’t need to go down the whole root canal route.
Yeah. I think I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m super thrilled that my teeth aren’t fucked beyond repair. I’m pretty good about brushing my teeth at least once a day now, but I went an extremely long time with only sporadic teeth brushing. I’m sure I’ll end up paying for that in the future
(Wtf Medicare, cover tooth and psychological care better you gronks)
Gratitude thread ✨️
Grateful for female friendships! Not being upset like I was a year ago because my ex was too busy to talk to me. The sun. Dog attempting to wake me up twice, potentially because someone has either left the house or arrived.
Thank fuck it’s Friday 🍺
TFIF! 🍺
plastic straw 👅
@LowExperience2368 @Seagoon_ Female friendships are the best ☺️
(The only catch for me is I tend to be someone people come to with problems. So there’s been days when my bestie has come to me with troubles, and then my other bestie, and then mum, and then wifey 😫.)
Anyways. Grateful thoughts.
One of the ways wifey and I split jobs is that I do the dishes at night and she, in theory, puts them away every morning.
In practice, most days I end up doing it.
Well…
A couple of days ago, I waited to see how long it would take for her to do it.
6pm — nope. 7pm. 8pm.
Are you going to put them away? “In a minute!”
9pm. 10pm.
Eventually it gets to midnight. Still not put away and she’s fast asleep.
So I put them away. At midnight. I might have made a bit more noise than usual in the process.
She wakes up: “Why are you doing that now? It’s midnight!”
Oh sorry, it got to midnight and the dishes still weren’t put away from this morning, so I’m doing it…
Anyways.
I woke up this morning, and the dishes were all in the drawers.
Grateful ☺️
I am grateful that I have choices in my life.
Also that I’ve just been sent the questions for an interview on Monday, so I can be well-prepared.
Grateful that the free food market this morning had bocconcini balls.
Bocconcini takes me back to my childhood! Don’t want to doxx your location, but where can I find a free food market?
This one is Eastern Food Rescue, which grew out of a Food is Free cupboard in Mitcham. There are a number of Food is Free cupboards around the place too which have free food at random times. The food is primarily stuff that is going to be thrown out from supermarkets and bakeries, so the quality can be variable.
Grateful my filling is feeling better today
Been feeling low and grumpy today. Positive emotions completely dulled while negative emotions seem to get an extra boost. But at least I cut short the work day on both ends today and had some wins at work.
My favourite auntie got into a bad and easily avoidable car accident (total write off, front looked completely mangled) thanks to her stupid idiot overconfident narcisssistic husband, who honestly should’ve been off the roads years ago. They’re in WA so no way of easily going there. Instead here I am simmering in anger at that man (nobody likes him. Except my aunt who is a martyr). Thank fuck there were no injuries, maybe minor whiplash for my aunt.
At least I guess it means they’ll get a new car with all the safety features but really the safest thing they can do is take the dickhead’s licence away. I hope he’ll voluntarily do it after this massive wake up call… small chance given his outsized ego but he’s softened a bit over the years.
I have acquired fresh parsley and I don’t know what to use it for!
Pretend it’s catnip and that you’re a cat
Gremolata! Keeps for yonks in a jar if you put an oil film on top.
You could buy some mince and chop it up, mix it with the mince and make hamburgers or you could fry the mince and throw in chopped up parsley and spices or you could make a pesto with some pine nuts. Pine nuts are cheaper at Aldi.
I’m sort of a few days out from being able to shop again so I have try and make do with what I have at the moment.
I was going to make garlic butter bread/loaf slices and maybe thinking about using the pasley in that.
Was going to do fish burgers too but I don’t know if pasley mixes well with that?
Yeah, parsley goes very well with fish burgers. It’ll also keep in your fridge for a week. Just put it in a plastic bag so it doesn’t dry out.
@Duenan @CEOofmyhouse56 Parsley and fish definitely can work together 😊
Do you have any lemons?
Any neighbours with a lemon tree in the front yard?
If so, you might want to try a lemon parsley butter with your fish: https://www.recipetineats.com/lemon-butter-sauce-fish/
No lemon sadly :( @[email protected]
I was going to do something similiar to a Maccas Fillet O Fish.
Smokey Cheese, Tartare sauce and battered fish.
Sounds good.
Use the parley in the tartare sauce?
Yeah but are you making it because theres alot more in it than herbs. If you have a store bought one just add the parsley to a portion.
Also get some of your margarine and put it in bowl and add heaps of finely chopped parsley and a little bit of garlic, mix it all up and you’ve got garlic butter. Any leftovers put some glad wrap on it and put it in your fridge for next time.
I put it in mashed potato , I also use a whole bunch when I make minestrone
Not a bad suggestion with the mash potato. Now I need potatoes.
Fasolada or some other Greek stew is always my go to with parsley. Lots of good recipes here: https://www.mygreekdish.com/category/collections/traditional-greek-soup-recipes/
Parsley is also an excellent ingredient in dog biscuits. They love it. 🐕💖 🌿🦴
I have a neighbour who’s a drummer. The marching band kind, not the death metal kind. I love hearing them practice. They’re a couple of houses away I think and it’s lovely and soft and rhythmic.
DT dropping bangerzz left right and centre tonight :)
