    Sorry for the repeated negative posts but still feel shit from the sleep thing today.

    I just want things to go back to normal. It’s fucking me up at work. Tired, demoralised.

      You’re ok mate. Vent all you like. I’m about to get personal…

      I know you were having constipation problems. Is that still the case? Because that can have a big impact on your sleep and well-being. If your not shitting every day or atleast every second day something is wrong.

        I appreciate it, I just hate being so negative.

        That other issue cleared up. It’s this anti depressant that’s the problem. Since I started taking it (also works to quit smoking) sleep has been shit but it does a great job with other stuff.

        Now it has to be one or the other.

        It’s tough tbh.

          Ah right. I don’t know much about anti depressants except for valium that I took years ago and had to stop because I loved it too much.

          Make such you get some red meat and fish into your diet for iron and clarity.

          Go see your GP if things don’t clear up soon. Don’t let it drag on.

          True.

          Having a look at your dietary and exercise is the first thing you should look at and up the anti if it’s not adequate before you start to look at other things.

    Last day of in-office work before I go away for a month (where I might do a bit of occasional remote work because the money would be nice…) Really dry and boring document review to do today but it could be worse.

    Things remain generally very quiet though (compared to the utter craziness that we had all of last financial year), so I’m actually legitimately a bit worried about how the business will keep up especially after I come back. Eh, that’s not a problem for today. Maybe it’s the universe prompting me to think a bit broader.

    E: 3 hours to go and I still feel like clawing my eyeballs out

    Jfc I’m pretty damn glad I pirated 28 Years Later and didn’t go to the cinema to watch it like I’d planned. I hadn’t watched any trailers or read any reviews.

    And, what in the ever loving shit was that pile of utter wank thrust upon my eyes?

    1/10 and it gets the 1 point purely for the Power Rangers scene because by that point I genuinely didn’t think it could possibly get any worse but nope, to my utter disbelief they managed to subvert my expectations and pull it off.

    That film has no redeeming features and I want money back for my time wasted.

    Fucking hell, I really hated that film. I should’ve turned it off 5 minutes in when it became apparent that the opening scene wasn’t a parody.

    If they’d have called it “Monty Python’s 28 inches later” it would’ve still been a shit Monty Python film by their standards, but at least I would’ve known what to expect.

        Thanks Ceo.

        Nail might be ok but my toe was swollen and I spent most of the day with ice on my foot.

        I’ll do another ice pack session today after I finish work, I hope I haven’t aggrevated it today by coming back to work.

    Hotel club lounge have got me pegged. Take the empty plate, leave the empty glass because it will be refilled.

    I have a rental inspection this morning, which means I can’t slob around in my pyjamas all day. I should probably find somewhere else for those random things I threw in the bath tub yesterday to give me more room to sort things. Mr Woof is going to be very upset, two visitors in the same week, that’s like a full on invasion of our territory!

      I just moved in to my brother’s house. He moved to Vietnam. No more inspections. I was getting two inspections a week because the old place was up for sale. Bunch of randos coming to visit and gawk. No more inspections!

        That would be a nightmare. Not just because of the frequency, but because people who are looking to buy want to be able to poke into everything, plus the added stress that if they buy the place these people will either be taking over as your landlord or evicting you at the end of the lease. I am really hoping I don’t get stuck in that situation.

    Inspection done. Mr Woof was as upset about the invasion as expected and Miss Meow is still in hiding.

    The sun has come out and it’s a fairly decent day outside, I’m hoping it’s enough to get a load of towels dry.

    Edit: Miss Meow has just emerged from underneath the couch.

    Melbcat has been checked out, given a vitamin b shot and blood test, and her blood pressure med is going up to a whole tablet.

    The little black spot on her nose will be monitored as it could be precancerous, and if it gets large again there’s a cream that can resolve it.

    Edit: Dammit. Just answered a spam ‘solar’ call thinking for some reason the vet was calling back. Letting whoever it was know it’s a live number. I reported to Scamwatch and blocked their number but they’re probably spoofed anyway.

        I’m still worried as the black spot may be precancerous and could turn into squamous cell carcinoma. What’s currently happening is very slow growing and might not turn bad but it’s not a nice thought

    I saw the band Ulthar are playing the Bendigo Hotel this Saturday. They’re the sort of band I thought would be too small to ever come here.

      So glad I’ve trained my workplace to NOT do that. If I’m in a bad enough mood, I closed the lunch room door - but the people whoever share my lunch break time know they’re perfectly welcome.
