    HOME FROM LAST LATE SHIFT FOR 2 MONTHS WOOOOOOOO 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
    Funny fuck up tonight. I was speaking to a client and had to put them on hold for a couple minutes to get help. I got the help, then called the client back. They didn’t answer so I left a voicemail. 5 minutes later when I’m finished with the file, I noticed they’re still on hold to me. I’d left them a voicemail while they were on hold to me. At least they thought it was funny when I said “so this is going to seem a bit silly, but I’ve just left you a voicemail”…

    So, like, I don’t shave my legs. I just don’t care, even though the hair is dark and noticeable. I went to the shops in a sundress, and some middle ages white dude looked me up and down, saw my legs and made a very directed “UGH” at me.

    Now I’m hot, I’m sweaty, I’m tired. So I whipped around and half yelled “ugh look at yourself you fat fuck!”

    I’m in Brunswick, fuck off c-nt

    Felt fucking good and I’m still not gonna shave lol

    Ughhhhhh

    Ted is on a diet. If he hasn’t lost weight by his next vet visit in 3 months I am in trouble.

    Ted is now attacking my bum again because he is cranky for dinner. I am going to need bum armour.

    What a bloody bonza day! Beautiful weather!

    Had some pizza for lunch, then scored a free frozen coke off HJs, and I am absolutely loving this toasty weather. Takes a couple hours to acclimate, and gotta watch the water intake, but I am absolutely in my zone today!

      I agree. I like the warm and don’t even mind if I’m doing work outside. Feels alive to be challenged by the environment. 🙂

    Off to the bellarine today. Bit of a hard time convincing mum to come with but got there (probably could’ve gone about that differently).

    Taking her around the garden and showing the new side path yesterday was not a very good indication it’s just not safe for her to be alone and it’s making me wonder about how to go about exercise / physio. Have to pace this as it’s already overload. Basically too many people telling her what do which is pissing her off and will lead to refusal.

    Won’t be much of a break for her but hoping the change will lift her mood (even though she’s shitty she has to come down).

    On the plus side dynamic b/w old man and I has completely changed. We’re agreeing on everything and whilst more medical stuff, is very (very) new and a nice change.

      The docs gave me some advice about my Mum when her health and cognitive processes started to go haywire - don’t forbid anything, don’t insist on anything except her pills. Let her drive the process of coming back to life, after a major shock to her system. I suspect your Mum is having a serious self-re-assessment from old healthy person who is essentially OK, to old not-so-healthy person who needs help. This is major major shift. Takes time.

        Thank you for this advice.

        old healthy person who is essentially OK, to old not-so-healthy person who needs help

        This is pretty much the case.

        I need to dial the insisting down a bit methinks.

          I had to learn the hard way on the insisting front - and my brother never did. Caused a lot of stress to everyone.

      Did she receive any PT/OT during her stay? They would usually give her some basic exercises and education.

      Rehab in the home is an option, too, if concerned about the convenience of attending appointments.

        I was surprised how little info they gave her. Funnily enough she used to be an OT.

        But I think you’re right in home rehab is a good idea it’s just whether she’ll be okay with it.

          Yeah, unfortunately it can really depend on the situation/length of stays and how pts are flagged/referred.

          Very cool, but also tough. I don’t think anything quite prepares you from personally experiencing situations you’ve likely seen/treated other people for. I think rehab in the home is a good choice. It takes the stress out of transport and it can be more comfortable in your own environment.

          Maybe just some brochures and leave it with her. It would be tough when everyone has an opinion. People mean well, but I know it can be frustrating.

    I had an interview with a nearby university today. They have an arrangement with an ebike leasing company and onsite childcare, so I could see myself riding the boys to work in a cargobike on creek trails and dropping them off at childcare while I work. There were technical problems on my end with the interview though, so I hope that doesn’t impact things too much

      “Ah, I think I understand the problem with your device. For our next troubleshooting step please pick up your mouse. Now just wrap that around your neck ever so gently… I understand it sounds silly but we’re trying to align your bodies electrical field with your device to restore functionality… great, that’s done? Now grab both ends of the cable, either side of your neck, and just pull as hard as you can. You might find it difficult to speak for this bit but don’t worry. Also black dots appearing in your vision is perfectly normal… great… keep pulling…”

    reminder to run around shut the blinds, get the AC running and all that jazz. Shes gonna be a warm one for a couple of days. More efficent to keep the place cool rather than try cool it down once it heats up. Even just a cardboard box on a west facing window can help HEAPS.

      Thank god for AC!

      Popped by home about 20 minutes ago to grab something in between stuff, wasn’t too hot yet but regret not turning the AC on pre-emptively. Blinds are all firmly shut though. It’s crispy outside for sure. Really grateful for my very cool and breathable uniqlo airism top
