    Had my first therapy session in a long time, yesterday. I’m feeling much more hopeful, as the psychologist and I seem to click really well. It has messed me up emotionally, however, so I’m having popcorn and pop tarts for dinner. Too hot to cook.

    TAFE starts again next week, I’m looking forward to getting back into it. It’s a fantastic campus and course. These past few months have been so detrimental to my mental health.

    My partner has an interview next week as well!! I’m so proud of him!

    Oh, here's the cat tax

      Glad going back went well for you! I am definitely due back, so reluctant to face my many issues but I need to. I’m booking in to get a new MHCP over the weekend.

      Also Mickey ❤️

        That was the hard part, actually getting a new mhcp. I have such massive anxiety around making appointments that I just… Don’t. Lol.

        But it’s definitely worth it! I believe in youuu! 💜💜

      It’s so good to see you back.

      I hope you’re doing well.

      The most important thing to know is what flavour pop tarts, that will determine everything.

      Also Mickey!

      Stay strong! It really isn’t your hassle when push comes to shove. Sounds like Aunty is running out of stalking horses and might (shock! horror!) have to do the insisting herself. Which will probably be good for her soul if not her temper. Is she the executor? Or has she taken this work onto herself without authority?

        She’s the executor.

        Im supposed to be “the nice one” in the family as she calls it but it’s only because I didn’t take legal action against her or accuse or of anything even if I have my suspicions.

          Executors have rather strict obligations, which is why the task can be turned down. Aunty might be digging herself a very big hole.

            It’s a little messy because some of the other family members are suss on the Aunty stealing or keeping funds to herself from there sale of my grandma’s house as she had power of attorney for my grandmother, the worst person possible.

            I think she tried to pocket rent from a property my grandma had and has had to return there money to the trust fund as she wasn’t entitled to the rent as the property did not belong or pass to my Aunty or her family yet.

            So it’s led to some family wanting proof of finances and also them reviewing to making sure everything was returned and not pocketed to my Aunty unlawfully.

              Hmm yeah. My sister did a few things she wasn’t strictly allowed to do, but I totally approve of. Once the accounts get locked it can get tricky to pay for non optional shit.

          Hrmm. This is a difficult one to navigate. Probably best to keep your distance as you have been. Wishing you much patience. Keep your temper no matter what is probably for the best.

    I am absolutely ravenous today. Not sure where this hunger has come from. Doesn’t seem to match up with my brain that’s operating in pure fog and blah. I really don’t want to cook, but my mouth ulcers aren’t gonna be happy with takeaway or convenience food

        No I don’t sadly. If I was motivated enough I’d make a soup which I normally wouldn’t do in this weather. I think I’ll steam these frozen dumplings, soft enough and not too salty or spicy.

    Update on the ants in savoury shapes situation:

    It didn’t end well for the ants.

    Left them on the outside sink waiting for them to move on before putting them in the bin and it’s now a mass grave.

    Hrmm, makes you wonder…

    E: which calls for a rave choon

    Got rejected from a niche job that exactly matches my skills and experience after what I thought was a strong interview. Now spiralling and wondering whether I am in fact unemployable. Which I know is over the top. But what do I have to do dammit??? I really thought this one might stick.

      Can you request feedback on the interview? Could it be one of those situations when they already had someone in mind?

        I’ve asked for feedback. They actually asked me to apply, so I don’t think there was someone else lined up, but who knows?
