Yay! I get my bonus this week!! My dog- I’ll take that, thanks.

Minutes away. Hello friends #takemehome

New mug. Old school enamel. Best purchase ever! #BertieBeetle

Nice day! #melbourneweather

Breakfast for dinner. Living my best life.

Frankie rolling on down to the finish line. Go sports!

Who wants cake!?

Team are asking me why I’m still logged in. lol, I’m still employed as far as I know. Proper shit show!

Todays restructure news- seconded in current role so I need to return. Old role will likely be impacted. If I knew how I will be impacted, I can stay. I don’t. New boss trying everything to keep me. Promised she will rehire me as soon as she can. Feeling very loved in a very hostile environment.

Called it today, might call it again tomorrow. Mean time, late night movie time.

From the middle child… ‘That dude in the pic is useless, he’s about useless as the first R in February’ Haha!! First laugh I’ve had all day. (Funny because its true)

Slow Sunday. Massaman lamb shanks, that’ll do.

Nice night.

If you need me I’ll be on my couch, with my puppies, smashing my favorite childhood cookies from NZ.

First sighting of a Charlie coin. Sigh. I liked Lizzie on my money.

Did my bit. #daffodilday

Back to work today. WFH because too many meetings. One by one all my meetings have cancelled. Smug is lingering.

Last smug day off. Nice day. Art and afternoon tea. Happy Sam. #mentalhealth #staycation

Vegetable lasagne. Happy Sunday indeed!

Yep, still smug 😊

Don’t mind if I do #sundayroast

Smug.

Smug day off soak. Life has been a bit rough lately. I’m barely keeping it together most days. Took a few days off work, it’s apparent I very much needed it. I often forget to be kind to myself. On that note- Stay tuned for Mondays additional smug day off. #extralongweekend #mentalhealth

Smug day off lunch. Lamb shank and barley soup.

Smug day off. Nice walk.

Chardonnay in the sun. Instant happiness. #sundays

It’s me. I’m toad.

Serious question. After I put food in the bowl for my doggos, do I leave the light on or off while they eat? I

Today is a very important yearly milestone….we are half way to Christmas. 🎄🥂🎁

The very best good boy #pubpuppy

Weird day. Moody and a bit unnerving- no reason, just a vibe. Bunkering down after cleaning and other chores. Gonna pop the tele on and put the rest of today in the bin. Starting fresh tomorrow with a tidy house and hopefully a good sleep. #mentalhealth #therewillbesunshinetomorrow

Fanceee wine bar on my street serving up a boujee #steaknight Thirty clam shells+ happy hour…greens are extra. Not bad, would go again.

Venturing. First stop Bunnings

My son just told me I look like Homer Simpson. I guess he doesn’t understand winter Friday night on the couch couture Breathing in, and breathing out. It’s all good. I love my kids, I love my kids.

I had tea room tea and donut envy thanks to @kimbojayne.bsky.social Problem solved. #afternoontea

Happy Tuesday! This little bobble head got the all clear today. Treatment for her 2 main issues are relax, monitor & be vigilant. No chemo. No more surgery. Good girl little Bertie. We love you ❤️ (The floppy ear is now permanent, but we love it) Phew. What a month.

12 days of cone of shame fun incoming…

It’s the family high five. #cheezel fingers ❤️

Took a cheeky mental health day. Went for a big walk, bought a new dress and am now cozied up in a pub with a Chardonnay. 20/10 would recommend #mentalhealth #selfcare #happy

Maaaate

Fuck today.

Annual performance review complete. Apparently I performed well this year ❤️ (Not in picture- long walk, puppies, breakfast and lunch dates with my kiddos) Nice day. #mothersday

Going to sleep, mentally preparing for my annual performance review. #mothersday

What's the difference between the Government and the Mafia? One of them is organised.

Day for it

Urgh, grump. So many grumps.

After years of wondering, I finally looked up the difference between a Llama and an Alpaca. Turns out they are very different. I’m an expert now. And I thought today was boring, who knew!

Kid just told me he isn’t going to eat raw bread. By this he means, he is putting the delicious fresh warm sourdough in the toaster. Raw bread. Who is this guy?
