    Eleven days until my 33rd birthday. When COVID started, I was 27 turning 28. My 30th happened during one of the lockdowns.

    I’ve gone through 4 or 5 different calls centre jobs since 2019.

    Now I’m studying animal care, with the plan to do either a Cert IV in Vet Nursing, or a Diploma of Animal Tech.

    I spent only one year with my partner before COVID started. We’ve been together 6 years in Jan just gone.

    It feels so long and no time at all. So much has changed.

    I am grateful how I have managed to change my trajectory on a personal scale.

    It’s gonna be okay, eventually, and I hold enough hope about that for those who can’t be hopeful.

    I am eternally grateful for this community, a home made of code and human souls sharing their lives and advice. You’ve been amazing to me, even though I’ve been less than stellar at times.

    Sending you all my love and good vibes! 💜💜💜

    Everyone in the block of flats next door have moved out (was sold, probably end up being townhouses), last dude to leave who has early onset dementia came and said goodbye which was a bit sad. Really nice guy and can’t imagine the move for him is gonna be easy.

    Other place next door on the other side (with a bunch of noisy kids which is all good) have moved out cause they’re about to do renos.

    Completely neighbourless, and the lack of noise reminds me of locky lockdowns which to be honest isn’t the worst thing.

    Which brings us the rave choon

    I think I could get used to this

            Have the demolition company use an excavator to load it all into demo skips. e: My dad’s a hoarder and once upon a time the stuff he collected was worth something, now it’s a hectare of shit that’s been left to rot out the back of Castlemaine.

      Good idea.

      Hope it goes ok for you.

      How’s your headache from the other day going?

      Neck and shoulder tightness and strains also cause me to get headaches, especially if I’ve been hunched over at a desk and it bunches up all my muscles together.

      I think they’re called tension headaches?

        Thanks mate :) Headache is subsided, doing exercises to try to stop it happening in the first place.

        I get the same thing from sitting at a desk. Ergonomics is really, really important.

        I call them migraines because I’m pretty much paralysed; can’t get up, can’t move, can’t eat, feel like throwing up from the pain.

        Stretch your shoulders everyone!!! lol

        Nah. 20 bucks at Big W. Runners don’t last me long anyway because my gait is weird, so if I’m going to experiment with styles I go cheap. I go more upmarket once I’m sure the style suits me and I won’t destroy canvas shoes in six weeks!

    The spinach recalls because of E. Coli remind me of when I got salmonella from spinach in the early 2010s. My ex and I were so so sick, dying on the couch watching TV together, when the news started talking about it - that’s how we found out what we had and why we were sick 😂

    It’s the only time I’ve ever had salmonella.

    0/10 do not recommend.

      I got poisoned by a piece of salmon. It was instant. First time I’ve ever walked into a doctor’s clinic with a bucket. A few people were seen to that day who had purchased the salmon at the same place. And yes, I still eat salmon.

      The man just tried to return a bag of spinach and the workers had no idea what he was on about. The manager was called.

              The one exception I have with that is the time my shitty dad brought home some white chocolate bars home (probably got them for free from some event) and I already didn’t like white chocolate much… only to discover halfway through the second bar there were dead insects and eggs inside 🤮 I still can’t really eat white chocolate to this day.

      @StudChud @YarraByte I had a problem with chick peas once. Actually, it was either the chick peas or red wine I drank.

      When presented with this choice, it had to be chick peas, so they’ve not passed my lips since.

    much quieter here, last place had 5 neighbouring houses doing renos, one is a major demolition, the other uses jack hammers

    and no aggressive junkies here, no porch pirates so far, had a package sit on my porch all day, was still there

    and last thing I saw in my street in Carlton, first time I saw a homeless lady pushing a shopping trolley with her belongings, I went up to her and gave her a 20, she spoke in a middle class accent

    I do understand living in the suburbs ( which I haven’t done in 35 years ) means that even if I don’t see social problems that doesn’t mean the problem has gone away 😔
