Once again, big thank you to a couple of posters here that have helped me out of a bad situation.
I haven't named them in case they prefer to stay anonymous, but guys, you are absolute bloody legends!!! I never heard back from that reference guy. He legit just disappeared off the face of the earth...
Oh, wow. So last week I explained the situation with my current school to the lady from the TAFE. She asked around and has been able to organise for me to start before my unenrolment is officially processed. I have missed the intake date now which was yesterday evening.
But she just sent me the enrolment paperwork I need to sign, and once I've done that, she said I can just organise a phone call with the teacher to catch up on what I missed and can start next Tuesday!
Holy fucking shit, it's wild how things go from 0-100 so quickly. I was about 75% expecting to not start until the next intake, but it's going to finally happen...
Edit: bloody hell, today must be the day of things happening because I just got a call from the police about the report I made 8 days ago
After some awful sleep bathed in sweat and feeling like my brain was going to explode from overheating and headaches, I still feel sick so another day off work. Grumble mumble moan. Today I'm not going to do stupid shit like try and read academic articles to catch up on uni stuff, I am properly resting.
So I did my tax online last night. I owe money. Seems like HECs debt is the reason.
Can I go back to being a kid?
Feeling terrible that it took me so long to notice Melbcat was still sick. When she was fussy about food I thought she was just tired of the usual flavour, and when she was wiggly I thought she was jealous of the computer or bored. She hides it well.
I’ve been wrapped up in my own struggles, getting overwhelmed by literally everything, and didn’t pay attention as closely as usual.
Edit: Yeah… I’m giving these socks one chance to come good in the wash and then if they’re still too tight they’re getting donated. The point of buying new clothes and lip balm was to be more comfortable and if something is not doing that then it’s just clutter.
Too sick and in too much pain to stuff around anymore or tolerate anything that makes me feel worse. Also fuck how I look
So the RE has forwarded the call fee invoice to us from the plumber. I expected it, because it was my washing machine.
It's $500. FIVE HUNDRED! For the guy to diagnose the issue in less than half an hour.
Lucky I got my tax return today, paid it in full and did some ass-kissing in the email back to the RE. Like, plumbers have to do a lot of gross things, of course they should be compensated appropriately, but he just moved my fridge and washing machine and walked around with his detector device. Lol. He made bank.
I have woken up with a proper sore throat. This is not ideal ( but explains the anxiety and nightmares the last couple of days...)
Just waiting on my other reference to contact the recruiter.
He's a good guy but can be a bit forgetful.
Come on buddy, just call her.
Coffee blend ordered today while on special from a cafe in Hurstbridge.
Heard due to their special there might be delays but I hope my order is ready for pickup before Sunday so my friend can pick it up for me.
What did I order? A coffee blend of Guava, apricot, pineapple and mango.
I can’t wait to try it but nervous it won’t be ready for me in time.
I hurt all over. Today is a busy day. Bah.
Worried about my health too. Been feeling not great
Today's been a productive day. I sorted out the meeting with my current school to unenrol, that's happening next Thursday. I sorted out the situation with my new TAFE school, and although it's not officially processed and I'm not enrolled yet, she said there shouldn't be any issues. The program manager ordered one of the replacement phones, and said she'll organise the replacement MacBook before the end of the day (though she seems busy so I'm not holding my breath). I called the police man back (I only had 5 minutes before a GP appointment when he rang so I said I'd call back). He wanted me to send him an email with photos of all the damage as well as an itemised list of everything that's damaged or stolen.
I thought it may be an issue that I've been finding more things missing every day since the police report, so the police report doesn't have a complete list, but he said it's no problem and that tends to happen to most people. So I sent him that email. And then I went and made a psychologist appointment I've been putting off for a while.
Also the DT is at 178 comments and it's only 3pm. Guess I'm not the only one having a productive day!
Edit: unfortunately it seems the psych I chose is retiring at the end of the year, so she called to let me know she cancelled my appointment. She was the only person I found on the find a psych thingy that specialised in my problems and looked friendly :/
Feeling better after getting out of bed and making myself some tacos with the last five tortillas and bits and pieces. Still have leftover pickled onions (orange and vinegar), from two weeks ago and I'm sold on having a jar of these going on at all times - just a little transforms any taco or sandwich
in brighter news, Iv'e fallen down the rabbit hole of recipes and now I got the fever
My underdesk treadmill arrived today. Not easy to type on the keybord while using it but happy to be getting some exercise
Moved to new apartment. Landlord proactively warned us that the oven, stove, the bathroom heater and hot water are on one circuit and to avoid using them all together.
Breaker for this outside of our internal switchboard and is only accessible by OC (not the landlord nor agent). From the message, feels like the landlord might have copped 3 days without power.
Friend just told it's unacceptable/below standard. Going to email agent to get this fixed, any good references I can use during this argument?
(on another note, we wouldn't have rented this place if we knew the parking space is going to be dark, dusty, musty, and hard to drive in/out. Am lucky we are driving a small car, because I'm fairly certain anything a Corolla Cross or larger won't fit at all)
Think I'll go out for a walk and do some errands while it isn't raining, 😘
Stupid friggin tv show I'm watching rang a Ring doorbell and the dog went nuts because my parents have one on the front door
Do you reckon high schools would 1. keep copies of year books from decades ago and 2. send them out to former students? I've been thinking about my high school years and don't remember a whole lot about it. I don't have the year books anymore and would be nice to take a trip down memory lane. I figure there might be privacy concerns or whatever, but thought it might be worth contacting my old high school and seeing.
still feeling a bit weird, went to sleep with a headache and had a nightmare I was being hunted by a crime gang, I ran like hell and threw off my unicorn oodie and anything else that could identify me in a crowd
🤔
cat woke me up this morning being a nuisance, so now whenever I walk past him asleep I shout "it's 6am! I hope your not asleep!" and make exaggerated clawing sounds till he is awake. You should see his face, He is FURIOUS! I just remind him that maybe we should all go back to respecting each others sleep times.
I have the vision of how I'm going to design the covers of the antique chairs. After getting all the different vintage fabrics, which all have a baroque theme, I can see there is a blue green palette and red beige palette, so those will be the designs. With black stained wood finish it will look cool.
The cats' napping has infected me with the sleepies and I've gotta go pick up the papou 😭
Has the vic energy compare website gotten like 100% worse, or is it just me? Lumo droped my solar rebate (not that I've exported more than 1kWh a day the last few weeks) so trying to check out options. trouble is it doesnt like my NMI cause the meter rates changed when the solar was installed less than 12 months ago. I swear it used to accept your bill and calculate based off that anyway?
Late night movie review.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
A movie on the power of narratives.
I love this movie so much. It shows teens in truly terrifying situations, supernatural situations. The teens are smart, brave, determined, co-operative and caring, and resourceful in facing danger and solving their problems.
4 hobbits.
