Let's talk about something serious. How fucking annoying are the nails to cut on the tiniest little piggies. The others no problems. I just whack my feet on the bath and cut away but the little ones I have to sit on the floor, position my feet at a weird angle and cut because they want to curl around my toe. Evolution has a way to go yet. Not looking forward to getting old.

Bleh. Hot weather and got a headache and been nauseous all day.

Yuck.

I hope it’s only the headache giving me the nausea else I’ve unknowingly caught something.

Zooks hopped up wanting snuggles and breakfast at 3:45. At least I needed a wee anyway...
Hoping I can get some more sleep in, as I don't have to be anywhere until the afternoon.

Being hulled up in my room unable to move has had me homesick for the outdoors for the last couple of days, so I've been watching someone hike the Appalacian Trail in the US and its so soothing. Also really wish we had more stuff like that here, I mean we have some long hikes but nothing like some of the ones they have over there.

so I've never been great with my diet. Just wanted taught any better growing up, and miraculously my BMI's always been pretty average. But recently I've been trying to eat more fruit and "hide" more veg in my meals. I realized the kids gonna grow up and I'll have to set an example, but I admit its been a slow start. Got some blood test results and turns out I might need to pick up the pace a bit. I'm fine in my 30's, but the numbers wont be so fine as I get older. Blood sugar a tad high (but not alarming) and good cholesterol shit bad cholesterol high (didn't know there WAS a good cholesterol). Anyone been in the same boat and got some tips or hacks that helped you on your journey?

Going through music on YouTube and just realised that Tom Petty died a while back.

One of my favourite artists ever and so understated when it comes to 80s-90s music

Fuck I'm old

It is dark as heck out there tonight!

Onya @Duenan@aussie.zone. I really thought the Thunder had a chance. Anyway

It's a double header so you can pick the first one between Scorchers vs Heat because I'll pick the Renegades over the Stars because I'm an idiot.

Playing 1992 music bingo. Holy fuck is Mr Big creepy. No idea how didn’t know what RATM ere going on about. Too tight pants vs. ratty plaid?

I'm finally near the end of my interminable day of cleaning ahead of tomorrow's rental inspection. The house is gleaming. I'm exhausted and trying not to get too negative about the indignity of renting in the current market and the inevitable rent increase notice in a month's time and urgh.

I changed my LinkedIn profile yesterday and set up alerts, and already got a hit - but it seems to be more of what depressed me at my old job, just being on the other side of it (in fact worse, because I have to be the bad guy and shoulder all the responsibility).

Could maybe hack it if it was a short term contract to build towards better roles, but full time permanent would kill what's left of my soul. I think I've seen this job advertised a few months ago anyway so there's another red flag if the other guy left so quickly.

Luckily I know someone who worked in a very similar role at the same org recently, so I shall get some inside info. See if I could do a hit and run; I do need the experience in local government and the cash would be good too before I think about moving interstate.
