I’m approaching my job with a dual mindset Firstly, with the knowledge that I’m always replaceable Secondly, with the knowledge that it would take at least three people to replace me

I’m waiting for an electrician to arrive at the house today. I’m not sure exactly when they’ll turn up, though I’m quite confident that it will be at the same time as I’m on the toilet

My streak of constant nosebleeds stands at almost two weeks now Lol… I think my brain is trying to eject itself

we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him

I picked up an illness from others in my household Now I’m achey, exhausted and overly tired, while simultaneously too uncomfortable to sleep Grrrrrr, it was my one day off this week too

As much as I hate to admit it, because I certainly don’t look it, I’m technically middle aged Which means my job, which requires intense physical labour, results in me being in constant pain Saves me the cost of a gym membership though. So there’s that More money for paracetamol lol

Her: “How are you so good with children?” Me: “I’ve been one for longer?”

It’s downright impossible for me to be calm when every day I see pictures of dismembered Palestinian children being lovingly cradled and reassembled, so they can be buried as a whole person and an accurate tally of the dead can be recorded How can anyone be calm in the face of genocide?

Starting over from scratch and rebuilding is probably not something one should be doing in one’s middle age But I’m renowned for my lack of self-preservation

Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you day is filled with flowers, pancakes and chocolates

Magnificent lol

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Deep Heat is amazing!

Just me and the corroboree frog, waiting in the parking lot until the kiddo’s jazz/tap class is finished

My first school athletics carnival as a parent. I’ve discovered some new kind of emotion, somewhere between “all these kids are so adorable” and “I’m so proud of them!”

I think I need to install a large, child sized, hamster wheel in my home Something an irrepressible five year old can conceivably run on, should she choose to do so entirely of her own volition and without any suggestion from me Maybe connect it to a battery too 🤔

“We are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly pro-union worker leaders,” said a union official about a raid in western New York.

I made the mistake of mentioning my personal circumstances to a friend I hadn’t seen in some time I’m talking about a very VERY brief précis here And they went completely silent on me lol Yeah, so maybe I just keep myself to myself next time. No need to ruin anyone else’s day lol

Howard, Abbott, Turnbull, Dutton’s seat all no longer held by Libs. Amazing.

Sometimes it’s just nice to drive around in the cool autumn evenings, listening to jazz and admiring the changing leaves

Tonight I’m out at a cocktail bar, for the first time in a looooong time The music is still the same though lol

Snuck off to see the first Thunderbolts screening of the morning Is there any role that Florence Pugh cannot excel in?

Just got offered my first free bowel screening. No, it wasn’t from the government. It was from a local guy named Glen. I think he’s a hobbyist or something

“Patience and kindness” are what I tell myself to show… despite knowing that there are some awful people out there who deserve anything but

Anzac Day is for veterans what “Awareness Raising” is for charitable causes

The current discussions about curing autism; portraying autistic individuals as burdensome and/or unable to live fulfilling lives - led by NT folks, according to their subjective standards… I hate it My own life has been filled with such nonsense for years now I’ve lost my desire to socialise

OK but we had this discussion about immigrants a few years ago. People don't have to be extraordinary to matter. Autistic people with no outstanding talents matter as much as those with lists of glittering achievements.

We’re back in hospital again. Kiddo’s breathing issues have evolved since Friday evening. Hopefully she’ll be well enough to leave emergency and avoid requiring admission into paediatrics

“You keep spending what little money you have and you’ve got nothing to show for it” “Well yeah. That’s because I don’t spend it on myself” “What have you done this time?” “The kiddo will be taking tap/jazz dance lessons this term”

Kiddo having breathing difficulties again. So it’s off to the hospital now that I’ve returned from work

I’m so conditioned to expect misfortune and malevolence, that I honestly find moments of good fortune to be surreal

My parents are currently visiting, which means it’s time to follow the individual travails of every detective inspector in the UK (on the telly). I think there’s like six of them

I hate wasting my time, yet find myself doing exactly that. Gotta work out what I want to do next with my wretched life

Apparently I love Monster Trucks

Manual labour may not pay well, but it certainly does wonders for your physique

My sister and I are currently screaming “cucumber” at each other across the house in our best French accents

Okay, so I was dancing up on a podium in a dream I had this morning (don’t worry about the reason), when I fell off it “What the fuck brain? I’m a perfectly adequate dancer. Some might even say that I’m quite good. Don’t do me like that!”

I’m sooo tired and sore Just another normal day

Slept on the couch last night I was “camping” in the living room with my niece, so that she wouldn’t ask to sleep in her mum’s bed My sister needed a night off The pets both enjoyed the extra company too

Now I know that the kiddo calling out for me from the other room is probably for some inane reason, important only to her… But I’m still gonna go to her every time, because of that last part I guess I don’t mind being bossed around lol

Getting a huge hug from the kid the moment I walk through the front door = 🥹🥹🥹 Gotta get back into some more painting tonight

Every moment with my kiddo is an absolute blessing I dunno how else to say it really

Practicing my Matt Berry impression, because maybe someone will need me to recite some George Michael lyrics to them* * They won’t

Listening to the radio while driving and Sophie B. Hawkins truly has it down bad for someone. Damn girl, we all know how that feels. You poor thing. Hopefully it’s reciprocated Meanwhile Vanessa Carlton is making her way downtown, still hundreds of miles to go…

Just need to turn my thoughts to anything but myself, for the next twenty years or so. Then I should be okay

It’s hot outside today. I’m tired and very sore… but needs must

It should make them worried. Dutton has declared war on working parents & those with disability who work. Many will have to quit or reduce hours He’s shown he doesn’t get the reality of the modern workplace by suggesting people can just “job-share” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #auspol

‘Bad’ hate crime laws quickly passed after terror ‘con job’ must be reversed, crossbenchers insist

Monster says what?

There are no words…
