Picked up the dreaded cold/flu thing. I think I got it from some snivelling teen on the tram to work same day I got the flu shot. It's absolutely slammed me and I feel like I'm going to be useless for most of the week. I don't have time for this.
I love that my home is filled with art and oddities stuff, but bloody heck it’s tiering packing everything down for a move! At least this will be the last for a good while.
I was keen on a Marketplace item. It wasn’t much, $20, despite its value being far more than that. Was scheduled to meet up to collect, but as it got closer to time, the seller took an hour to confirm their address (they kept saying they had bad phone signal…but I’m not sure what that has to do with en able to confirm your own address), and then switched it up from them being there, to needing to collect from someone else, who’s number I was given to call when I arrived.
As soon as I expressed concern, they got very defensive and angry. For me, that’s red flags all over so I noped out and blocked em.
First interview in my new job search and it was soooo bad. Too many red flags to accept of an offer was made. Bit sad, but also hopeful it pushes me in the right direction!
Saw PHM last night. I’m glad I went into it having seen other comments about it not following the book exactly, as that helped me to let go of expectations and enjoy it as a different medium. Loved some of the visual interpretations though!
In the past I was very adverse to medication due to side effects, till I found a Dr that was willing to work with my concerns and we found a non-SSRI med that didn’t have the side effects I was worried about (Agomelatine/ Valdoxan). It may be worth broaching the topic with your GP to explore options.
I also wonder if a commissioned soft toy of Melbcat would be comforting. It may also be safer than her Urn to sleep with. 🖤
You are doing so well working through this grief. The first month is the hardest. Numbness seeps in a bit like a scab.
I lost my dog a couple of years ago.
**it was the hardest thing to bear. If I hadn’t have been in a relationship with someone else acting as a tether at the time, I’m not sure I’d still be here.
For me the first year was a year of mourning, but it gets easier to remember all the good times, and how much they were loved. I have developed meaningful rituals on his birthday and anniversary of passing. He continues to be a part of my life as I continue to move on.
I hope you gentle recovery and I hope this somewhat helps or consoles you. 🖤
Did not expect to hear the Jurassic Park Theme Song on ABC Classical, but okay!! Gave me a giggle.
