    I have a funny feeling my foreign name might be stopping me from getting interviews, so I’ve gone with a “Christian” replacement.

    Let’s see what happens.

        I enjoy chasing aluminium paper rolled into balls, and randomly attacking the slave that feeds me.

          The ones I recall seeing were about ‘ghetto’ names in the US. Going to be interesting to see how the Braxxxyn generation fares on this.

    This coffee ain’t doing it. And the tiredness will continue for a couple of days more. 7am flight to Sydney tomorrow, and another early-ish morning on Wednesday before coming home. Easter break will be for sleeping.

    Autumn days are so beautiful. It’s like the world is resting after all the hard work of spring and summer and getting ready for winter.

      Autumn evenings, when the temperature drops are my favourite. Cozying up on the couch in a hoodie and trackies, after shorts and t-shirt during the day is so comforting.

        changing out of shorts and into warmer clothes is nice, especially having a little bit of light left still.

      It’s the one time you’re happy for them to insist on staying in their room…

        Haha. You know it sista. It’s exactly what she said when she emerged from her cave, touched the fridge, opened the cupboard, probably touched all the spoons in the drawer and made a bowl of weeties. She’ll go back and hibernate soon.

        Yes ma’am. I have partaken of a delicious broccoli and tuna pasta and written down many more Thoughts that have settled.

        This has sort of been a therapy-breakthrough type of day, without the $200 price tag.

        I’ve assembled enough angels to be able to call out all my career-related demons by name, and get both sides to look each other in the eye and shake hands. Sometimes they do look awfully alike… 🤔

        (One of those angels is you, by the way! I won’t forget your comments about being gentle with my reactions to things after what I went through with my last boss. This has given me a lot of clarity and calm)

    I won’t respond to my ex’s message, but boy do I want to. I just want to photos of our dog Ruby. My ex and I adopted her when she was 1; she’d be 10 or so now.

    Sweet puppy, my beautiful bow-legged Barb. Gosh how I miss you so, my Ruby-Rhubarb.

    Oh boy I’m real tired. I had some stuff in my hand to throw in the bin and I walked to the laundry, lifted the laundry basket lid and ALMOST released before realising that a moment earlier I’d thought about picking up yesterday’s tshirt and putting it in the laundry basket and that’s how that all happened. I think I might make the effort to seek coffee this morning.

      Tell me about it.

      Got two weeks off after this week, the longest break from work I’ve had since 2016.

      Which means this week is going to feel like a month. And then the fortnight after that will disappear in a flash :|

      I had the exact same issue. Shoulder injury that was giving me migraines.

          Yeah eventually strengthening my back and shoulders has made it barely noticeable. It was a slow build up to the gym for me as well.

    Partner and I had a laugh at my ex’s message, discussed which Schitt’s Creek gif to send as a reply. Opted for no reply, still.

    It was a nonsense message, with no substance. Sent to satisfy their own selfish need for forgiveness and closure. It would have made for better content on r/unsentletters. Self-centred as always; the most hurtful thing I could do to them at this point is to not even acknowledge it.

    How gross of them.

      I can’t imagine what that is like, sounds immature. Life is messy and full of unanswered questions and unfinished relationships.

      But at least better than the nasty messages or phone calls I would get from family or exes. I just ignored them.
