Had one of those days where everything that could go wrong, did. Don’t think I had a single win all day.
Evening has been better though. Had a nice dinner, then an hour ago I got the energy to do some tidying up as I was getting sick of looking at mess. Wine has now been opened. Mind is at (temporary) peace.
As a westie I’m excited. Ardeer is closer to me, I will actually consider doing my shopping there. Car dependant store never belonged in Docklands. Although I wonder what will become of Docklands with Costco gone, it is probably the number one reason for people who don’t live in Docklands to visit.
Work has been busy from the get go this year. Isn’t the first week back in January supposed to be cruisey?
I’ve got a meeting for a new contractor position on Thursday where the $$ earning potential is very good so fingers crossed that goes well. I’ve got another business on the hook that wants to sign me up as well. Between them, I think I could make a decent enough living (with the added flexibility) so I can escape my hellhole workplace ASAP. This is the place that asked me to voluntarily leave last year. Coming back to it in the new year has been rougher than expected. I’m not invested in this job at all anymore, and faking/forcing it while waiting for the perfect role is super exhausting. I need out.
News showed footage of that random stabber creeping behind an unsuspecting person on a busy street and bending down to attack their leg. Holy shit. So scary.
Friend is proposing a group to beach day tomorrow. Which involves going to a kid and dog friendly beach, being a taxi, leaving early and being surrounded by chaos. I was planning a slow solo beach day with a book and big ocean waves as a way to round out the holidays. Maybe I can say I’m busy in the morning to avoid being a taxi, join them for a bit then they’ll probably leave late afternoon and I can have a fraction of the day I planned.
I’ve seen some ridiculous footwear choices in this gym. But none more so than this guy who is currently walking barefoot around the gym. Isn’t that an OH&S issue? Also, it’s gross.
I for one am liking this rainy Christmas Eve. Feels like I could be overseas having a winter Christmas. Also having the oven going tonight was not sweaty work. I did want to go look at Christmas lights tho, not going to happen.
First attempt at making pad see ew. I tripled the sauce recipe as I made a bigger serve, but I only needed to double it. Maths fail. This is very saucy! Will make again tho, much simpler than I expected.
Last day of work. I’m not achieving much, brain thinks the holidays have already started. Tying up some loose ends and everything else is a new year problem. So keen for the few weeks off.
My end of work year tradition is going out for a burger and pint to celebrate the start of holidays. About to try Sonny’s in Carlton, inside the Curtin. Haven’t been here in ages, doesnt feel like it’s changed at all. Not every pub needs a bougie makeover.
Been trying to remember my password for the last few days, I’ve given up so new account.
Found out I have asthma today and that’s the reason for my cough that just won’t let up. I didn’t know you could develop it as an adult? What a nice Christmas present.
Doc prescribed me both a preventative puffer to take for the next couple weeks and the normal blue one. I just had the blue puffer earlier and I feel like I can breathe again! And barely any cough. I didn’t realise how constricted my breathing was until now.
Hoping this is seasonal and will be gone once pollen season is over 🤞
