    Looks like I have an interview next week for a service delivery manager role!!!

    I also got in touch with a recruiter who handles contracts, and he’s shown interest which is great!

    So tired. Right now my health and pain sucks balls so not a lot of art is getting done (try zero). It feels a bit useless to try and progress on a hobby that constantly gets derailed. Just had a zoom appointment with a specialist and have my fingers crossed they’re good going forward.

    I miss the baby pudding but am still kind of getting back on my feet, the updates sound like she’s doing well, and it might be good to let her to settle in so she feels more comfortable the next time she has to stay in the cattery. I might ask about picking her up on Monday because that’s her week

    NSFW ranty rants anxiety big sad BLAH

    Seeing Dad tomorrow for lunch. I feel our relationship isn’t as good as it should be, but I’m scared of talking about my feelings with him.

    I wish Mum hadn’t of damaged our relationship, we’re both still reeling from the effects she had on us. She has all of our photos, all of our memories, abused Dad and I. And now we’re trying to repair a relationship that shouldn’t have been meddled with in the first place. Poor Mum was traumatised, and passed it onto us. We’re both no contact with her, but Dad and I are still awkward. I mean, he’s still hesitant to hug me, because when he would, when I was a kid, Mum would accuse him of being inappropriate. She accused everyone of being inappropriate, and I had no fucking friends. Ridiculous, Dad never hurt me. Mum’s dad hurt her and me, but she still made me stay the night there.

    Sigh, I just want a parent. I want my Dad. I guess I should just say all of the above and see how that pans out. If I can’t be open about my feelings with my own Dad, then nothing is gonna change and I’m going to keep feeling like I’m pointless.

      Look. Of all people who understands what you’re going through, it’s probably your dad. Let him in.

      so much love and hugs

      and do it, take the risk , love is resilient, and as you say, he has been hurt too and probably wants this too , and knowing guys and older people probably a bit shy

    There’s an older couple who live next door. They have a bungalow out the back which they have moved into, and rented out the main house.

    Pretty sure there’s a couple of ice addicts that have moved in. If im right, I’m moving out. Not putting up with that shit.

      Can’t see the old couple wanting to keep ice addicts as tenants (assuming that’s the relationship) esp in a tight rental market. Maybe they’re the kids or there’s some other connection there…

        Yeah, might be worth asking the old couple what they think of the new neighbour-tenants, if they seem like they’re also not happy, could open a conversation about what they as landlords are planning to do.

        But depends if you’ve ever spoken to the old couple before, and if there are other benefits to moving as well so it’s not a big deal.

    I’ve slept most of the day. It makes such a difference if I manage to find a sleeping position that is pain free.

    Tafes next intake is in July, which is le sad. But! I have an interview for a part-time role this Tuesday coming. So I can make some money in the meantime. My application to be a volunteer has also progressed.

    So I think I’m on the right track to switching careers. Still gonna be a few years until I get to where I want to be with new skills (cert III is 12 months, and the cert IV is 2 years), but I feel much better.

    Everything is coming up Milhouse.

      I hear you. Are you in a position to put on some tunes and wander around outdoors?
      Maybe your system needs a fresh air reset and mental escape for a bit.

        Honestly, I think I just need to take a deep breath and connect. Something deep in me just isn’t comfortable and I dont want to open up. But a nice walk outside is probably a good idea.

    Mr Woof and Miss Meow have now had their first experience of having a pet sitter while I am away. Mr Woof warmed to the idea once he learned walks were involved. Miss Meow thought it prudent to hide, and my pet sitter possibly believes I was lying about having a cat at all as she did not show herself the whole time. It took about an hour of me being home for her decide it was safe to come out, but she seems relaxed enough and is lounging in an arm chair doing a thorough groom now.

    I want to write songs,
    But I can’t write music,
    For some talent I long.
    All my beats are acoustic,
    Finger-rapping, feet tapping,
    But it sounds all wrong,
    So I just keep writing.

    I type these words and wonder of an alternate me:
    She writes her lyrics for the gifted and the wealthy,
    She’s well-off, and doesn’t want for anything,
    On the radio she hears her songs playing.

    But I’m not her, I’m just me,
    Just a poor writer, stereotypically.
    A smoker and a drinker I’m a walking trope,
    Desperately writing myself some hope.

    Drove to Buchan and back today. Boy what a pretty valley. Too bad the house I went to look at was F U C K E D. From the dirt to the sky that house was fucked. I’ve lived in some rough places but this was next level. https://www.domain.com.au/5554-buchan-orbost-road-buchan-vic-3885-2019045349

    EDIT: and by rough, one place I squatted had a hole in the roof where rain came into the room and it was still better than this place I just looked at.
