    The dishes are rotting in the sink and I’ve spent all day in bed. Feeling like shit in a way I can’t seem to climb out of.

    You know that feeling when you’re too hot and tired to feel hungry but you know you’ll regret it in bed if you don’t eat anything… yeah that’s me right now.

    I’ve worked 23 hours over yesterday and today. That’s ridiculous. I really hope I sleep in on Wed morning. Maybe make myself an omelette for breakfast. It’s a bit silly now how much I’m avoiding cooking in this kitchen. Right now all I need to do is soak some rice noodles in hot water, drain and rinse, and stir through premade vegan larb. C’mon, I can do this. It’s not even cooking.

      Heat pump dryers are amazing. I did some baby/housesitting for.q friend on the weekend and used theirs. It takes ages but it was really good and apparently really energy efficient.

      Good thinking to ask for it as part of the transition. You should have nice things.

    How early is too early to make the thread? Invariably I wait til almost time and then get distracted

    Edit: I’m about to get stuck into neglected chores during the cool of night so absolutely will forget. Made the new thread ready to go

      I read somewhere that the percentage data shown does not relate to the probability of rain in your area but the percentage of greater Melbourne that will get rain

    I often feel so ineffectual at life. Especially after I watch or read about successful people, and then I reflect that I’ve achieved absolutely nothing.

      I feel this. You can’t judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree. We are all on our own journeys. I believe that no one is better than anyone because of what they’ve achieved, rather everyone is just different.

      It’s so easy to fall into the trap of comparing - I hypothesise it goes back to evolution. I used to compare myself to people a lot, but now I realise it just makes me feel like shit most of the time because I haven’t achieved anything. I like to redirect comparison thoughts to thinking about what my goals and values are and what I want to achieve to make me feel fulfilled.

    Uh oh, I continued working after coming home from a 9h day in the office and only just finished at 12:20 for like a 14h day… this is the danger of having a nice cozy wfh setup. And stimulants after a 2 day break. Too easy to lose boundaries :')

    At least the overdue stuff is all done, but I’ve got three more things to start and finish by the end of tomorrow so they don’t get overdue. Stupid pre-xmas rush and poorly timed leave. So glad for the flexible hours.

    Also some slightly disgruntled feelings over finding out a hack who left my former workplace basically straight-up copied the eork I did there at their new employer, where i knew they’re paying big $ for this person’s “skills”… not cool, not cool at all. Basically slapped a new logo on top… but due to confidentiality reasons with my current work client I can’t share direct evidence. What do. Hmm.
