Much needed dose of serotonin thanks to the doggo this morning

doggo looking regal in the morning sun

I was a bit lucky this morning! I couldn't get to sleep until I think about 4:30am. I have a 'work from the office' 7:30am Tuesday alarm (earlier than my every other day work remotely 8:45am alarm) which I was dreading so I could head in today and present my months in the making document to the team. Woke up without the aid of an alarm which didn't bode well.. 8:40am. Seems I disabled my Tuesday alarm last week because I wasn't going in but forgot to turn it back on.

The lucky part is my phone also had a Teams message on it from the boss saying he's unwell and won't be in today, so I don't need to go in anyway! Now I'm going to require all of the world's coffee.

I got given the news that I am receiving a pay rise and I am absolutely stoked, it made me feel exponentially more valued.

Things for my move are all set in stone now. Neither I or the org I'm moving to are allowed to back out now. Since CP have set a date, I WILL move whether I'm happy about it or not. They really have found a way to suck all of the excitement out of it, I was pretty neutral on it until I'm told I no longer have a choice and in 12 days I'll be moving somewhere I've never even seen yet

holy shit - visitors arrived at my neighbours next door, and I swear to fUCKING Alanis if they start singing Katy Perry again, I’m going to TP their welcome mat.

edit: EVERY MONDAY WTF

edit edit: this was my rant posted in yesterdays dt, but they just arrived so here it is too, electric boogaloo

If you feel another earthquake, don't worry, it was just the ripple of the biggest burp I've ever done. You're welcome!

Day 17 of exercise program and day 2 of ten day tummy exercise challenge completed. Pizza base day at work. I'm craving sushi for some reason. It's an itch I don't mind scratching! Got Mr Peeler to watch tummy exercise video last night. Hopefully it inspires him. He is overweight and has back trouble and heart trouble, so he needs to start some manageable exercise program so he doesn't get put off. He seems to only want to sit around and smoke weed about it, which imo isn't helping at all. I tell him, too much of a good thing man! Weed is not a performance enhancing drug, and it's definitely not a motivational aid in my experience. I gave up years ago. Weed is part of his identity though, I don't think he'd know what to do with himself. (Sighs) Have a wonderful day everyone! Get some of that sunshine if you can!

alright wtf wtaf

this sTUPId company emailed me this morning, said they're sorry about not getting back to me last week, they had some structural changes and put hiring on hold, but they'll get back to me this arvo with an outcome. Sounded promising, I wrote back 'thanks looking forward to it' blah blah blah

BRUH! BRUH BRUH

After a 12hr sleep finally shook the end of that cold / virus that I caught from OS.

5 weeks of severe tum tum + cold / virus cost me 6kgs and I've developed a deep disliking of food :( Even just looking at it.

Damn. Kinda regret not getting those After Eight dinner mints but I'm sure if I did get them I'd regret it too.

I want to post a pic here but the site keeps turning the image over, I have tried different source files too

so here it is sideways, some winter flowers from my garden

Good bot. You did your job and right on time.

Rest well and we’ll see you tomorrow.

I'm going to make a sate to go with my stir fry using stuff I already have at home. I know it won't be the same as the delectable dream inducing I don't know what drugs they put in it from my local Vietnamese shop but all I'm hoping for is it to be edible. I'm very excited.

I've been feeling flat this morning, both physically and mentally. Ended up queuing a bunch of songs together that elicit a strong emotional response and had a good cry. Maybe that's all I needed. I'm thankful to be working from home today, and with the Mrs out for the morning too... gives me a bit of space :)

16 hour days can get fucked.

Last day of work for the week and I am sah excited! Rental inspection tomorrow, then off to Perth to see my sister and LIZZO!! Gonna try and get over to Rottnest Island on Thursday for funsies, then take a walk around Kings Park and my sister’s friends have organised a wine and dumpling walk on Saturday night. Taking the bf with me with an extra surprise to start the trip off and I don’t think I’ve been this excited about something for quite a while!

I think this sunshine is helping!

Got the cat some fancy-pants biscuits for sensitive stomachs.

Cat vomits them back up, IN MY SHOE

going cheap - one cat

Tomorrow I return to the office after 3.5yrs, if I die in the night I shall take it as Gods mercy.

Also, shout out to the utter brilliance that is my upper management thinking dragging us in for full rotations without toeing us in first isn't going to have a single mental affect on anyone.

Having super intense anxiety dreams at the moment. This morning it was waking up and being unable to walk properly, staggering into the bathroom to see that my eyes were bulging and my irises were fully blown, and thinking that my husband hadn't called an ambulance.

Literally the first thing I did when I actually got up was check my eyes in the mirror. Totally fine. Wish these dreams would stop.

One of the things I hate about ADHD, is that I have time paralysis/waiting time. Like, I want to do things before I have to leave for work... but I just... can't. I hate when people say ADHD is a superpower. It's not... it's really not.

Came home from work and Mr Peeler's cooked dinner! Yay! My God, that doesn't happen often, and I was very very appreciative. The Mini Peelers had a sports day and the elder Mini came first in the 200 metres! That never happened before! The junior Mini got 2 second place ribbons! That never happened before! I'm in shock and need a lie down! Proud of everyone today!

time to play "are things actually hectic" or "is my brain just trying to make things this way?". I get the sense life is only as hard as you make it, trouble with my anxiety is it LIKES things hard. twists things into problems, forces me to take positions on things. I grew up where everything is a fight, so it tries to make everything a fight. And every now and then I need to stop breath and try untwist the knot my brain has tied itself into,

Just wanted to drop in and say this before I head to bed: you are absolutely crushing it this week, @bot001@aussie.zone

I just dreamed that I overslept, it is almost 8:30 the time of my zoom meeting, and I have to download the updated software.

Very full this evening with cheesy pasta. Sorry, no pics.

Waiting for the bathroom, having some tea and listening to a podcast. It’s been kind of nice making myself wind down earlier.

Deluxe Decadent Triple Choc Tim Tam's only have 8 biscuits in them and 1 biscuit = 1 serve!

Has anyone ever purchased from Catch? If yes, thoughts?

Damn. I crashed out after having a shower and it’s nearly 8 already!
