Early night tonight. Have 2 interviews tomorrow which I’m excited about!
Hopefully this saga ends soon.
Goodnight ❤️
I hope one of these comes through for you and we’re there for you if you need it
Sending so many good lucks. 🍀🍀🍀
Good luck!
Good luck!
Also good luck to Gibson those shadows aren’t going to chase themselves.
For my cat fam…
I doubt I could resist colouring those in
Good night everyone. 😘
The rabbits
Most secret special potato cake eating spot (not really just the playground opposite the IGA / fish and chip place in pt. lonsdale):
Pretty easy to make friends there:
Your friends look pretty shifty.
Those potato cakes look quite nice.
The seagulls seem to think so.
Just finished S1 of Severance. Amazing ep, great show so far! Probably watch one more ep before bed 🥱
yeah, it’s not bad.
Just saw the news on the AA accident in Washington. 😭
(I have a reli that travels frequently using AA (they’re not on that flight). I feel ill. So awful for all involved.)
I just saw the footage for the first time a moment ago on tv after hearing about it on my way home.
It looks horrific.
The US can’t catch a break right now. LA fires, Trump, and this all in the same month.
Same, I always feel a shock when I hear of such accidents.
Feels like a Friday.
Oh why can’t it be Friday already?
So, yesterday I managed to injure myself in the most ridiculous way possible while playing tennis. We were warming up serves, and the other guy was easing into it with some slow servew. Naturally, I decided to match the energy by being incredibly lazy, barely moving my feet and just waving my racket around like a disinterested Jedi.
Then, out of nowhere, he unleashes this rocket of a serve. For reasons I still can’t explain, I just stood there, completely unprepared, and decided my best move was to swing wildly at it. Of course, I was ridiculously late, and instead of gracefully returning the ball, I managed to deflect it into my racket, which immediately ricocheted directly into the bone right below my knee.
Ensues excruciating pain and I had to pull out of the first game (and asked my tm8 to play a singles instead as the format was 2 singles and 1 doubles) while I winced and iced my knee.
Safe to say, I won’t be making any highlight reels anytime soon. 😭
On the contrary, this belongs on the highlight reel. In super slow motion.
Tibialis or Patella. Tib shouldn’t hurt that much from a tennis ball. Have a read up on Osgood-Schlatter syndrome.
I don’t think I explained correctly. I hit my racket on the tibia. It’s quite bruised lmao
This is my life hack: I have now started cooking early (during the summer) because the sun beams in through my windows at around 5 making me hot and sweaty. I don’t want to eat when I’m sweating buckets. The man and the kid come home around 3 and 3:30 and they’re hungry so this suits everybody. Now I can relax for the rest of the evening.
Cricket!
I’ve got a dual setup happening so I have both of the matches on at the moment.
Well I’ve been doing the right things with my face, which is good to know. The Dr prescribed me some antibiotics so it doesn’t get infected, and I made the nurse laugh with my home made wound pads. I’d bought some from the chemist but they just weren’t absorbent enough. So I thought, what if I cut up a nighttime incontinence pad and sealed the edges with wide adherence bandage tape? Works a treat, is comfortable and has a stay-dry cover.
A woman’s mastery can not be contained! Many years ago my old dog had bone cancer at the top of her eye socket area. She was very well cared for but occasionally she would develop a weepy wound. A party liner stuck to a cute bandana was the easiest way to manage it. My vet was in hysterics when he first saw it.
Lol, “panty liner bandana” might just have to go on my Future Usernames list!
hope you feel better soon 😘
Slept in after waking half the night. Garden is tidied up a bit more, might do a load of washing, cooking is already done, I’m taking in some nice pants I have because they are too loose now
just a weird day of doing a little of everything 🌞
also looking up how to freeze chillies as I’m getting a glut of them
Chillies- All I do is put them in a ziplock and throw in the freezer. Nothing special at all, and they come out perfect if all you use them for is chop up for dishes as needed. Don’t even need to defrost them, easy to slice. If you have too many for freezing, maybe homemade chilli jam or a sweet chilli sauce might be an idea?
glut of them
Ooh good problem to have :)
So many ways to preserve them. I’ve still got a bunch from 4 yrs ago in the freezer and they’re still good (mushy when thawed but still hawt).
I love this problem. 🌞🌞🌞
Knockoff time
🍻?
It is for me🙂🍻cheers
One litre special 😀
I’ve got a meeting Monday with an SLT member. If the outcome of this meeting is poor, I’ll be retracting my request for a raise and moving on.
The straw has broken the camels back.
I’ll be retracting my request for a raise and moving on.
Nah. Dont make it explicit. just say “You understand the consequences of this. right? you understand what this may cost the business?” Let the threat be unsaid but hang in the air. gives you more maneuverability and them a second change to ponder the risks involved.
The workload is untenable man. We had a client offboard who had historic issues with the larger org.
The owner of the company that got sold rang him today in what I assume was a check to see if I’m worth the raise.
There was no chance of saving this client. First time I met the guy he straight up said “I’m not renewing”
The client was unhappy because he felt “ignored”. We have weekly meetings. I action everything he asks for.
There’s literally nothing else I could do.
Not good enough apparently.
Too much work, not enough time. Stress when not working. Constantly worried about work. No time to just relax.
If I get a better offer, im out. If I get the raise, I’m waiting till I’ve moved house then I’m out.
If I don’t get the raise I’m stuck here till I move house first.
🤞
