Nice weather for ducks

Today I did an impromptu trip to Toowoomba and back on the bus.  I wasn't going to take a bag, but then I thought I would, as that way I wouldn't have to carry an umbrella around, in case I need...

Flunked call

I was supposed to have the phone interview with the Orthopaedic surgeon yesterday.  I had received a text message saying that I would be receiving a phone-call at 9:15am from a private number.  ...

Byron Bay

I'm back at work after my time off for the surgury that didn't end up happening.  I had a lovely three days away in Byron.  The weather was only really bad on the day I checked out.  I should ha...

Tig ol' bitties

Today has been a DAY! I burst into tears at work, first thing.  A rude customer as soon as I started was the straw the broke the camel's back, but I had also been up since 3am (I started at 7a...


This isn't a porn erotica.  I just had my first Thai massage yesterday.   I somehow managed to hurt my upper-back sleeping a couple of nights ago, and I really didn't think I was going to make ...

Teen train

After my brother dropped me back off at the train station, and he and my mum continued on to the Gold Coast, my train arrived shortly after.  It's luck of the draw which carriage I get on the I...

Yeah, about that 🌀

I'm supposed to be at work, as we're reopening today, apparently. The managers are in early to do checks to get the all-clear.  I had a request come through last night to start early at 7:30a...

Cyclone

So there's a god-damn cyclone right off the coast where I am, which is extrememly rare for one to come down this far south.  I guess the ocean temperatures are still warm enough for it to do so....

Sydney's nice

Sydney is nice.   There's not much happening.  Or rather, there probably is, but I kinda don't wanna blow $100+ on entry price tickets.  The main party is $230+ lolz.  Anyway, I already whinge...

Update on dad

So I definitely have to stay until Friday at my parents place.  I don't want to, but I will.  I promised my mum I'd be here for her, so that's what I'm doing.  My mum's a mess, and she hates bei...

Taiwan part 2

I can say I've experienced my first typhoon.  It wasn't anything to worry about in the end, but the anticipation was pretty scary.  I was comforted by the fact that Taipei is surrounded by m...

Taiwan part 1

I made it to Taipei.  I've been here... five days now?  Yeah that sounds about right, and it's been lovely.  The people have been lovely and mostly keep to themselves, despite being such a bust...

Get on that plane

I feel like I should have a spell-book or my own witches cauldron with the amount of shit I'm consuming to try and help myself lol.  The spellbook can be my library of self-help books and the ...

Psychosomatic

So, with the apartment we are renting being sold, and the seller wanting to drag prospective buyers through, my housemate and I are considering getting our respective sex-toys and laying them...

Family BBQ

The disassociation/derealisation is real today. Probably the absolute worst symptom of the anxiety, in my opinion. Thoughts I can deal with, eventually, but this shit makes me feel like I’m no...

Socialising

I’ve actually been doing a bit of socializing, which has been so unlike me lately, But it’s what I need to do to kick this anxiety-bitch off it’s perch. It seems to be treating me good. I feel...

Miss Rona 2.0

The bitch is back. Somehow, I went to work today. It wasn’t an easy decision, by any means. I could have called in sick, but I didn’t. The policy is to work if we don’t have bad symptoms. Min...


Well what a wild ride that was lol. I ended up desserting the tent and escaped to the car in the carpark during a brief break in the wild weather. The lightning was insane. I could hear other c...

Fuck 2023

I’m going to write an entry on the last day of 2023 here in Australia, because I’m currently in an interesting situation. Somewhat dangerous lol. I ummed and ahhed about attending Tropical Frui...

Merry Christmas

I ended up having a pretty alright Christmas, considering I didn’t have any plans for it. There was a message on my phone from Andrew saying, “Lemonade ready at 1:30pm!”, so I guess that meant I...

Here's to 40

The birthday dinner went pretty well. I had a decent time. There were only 8 of us there, so I was right that about half the amount I invited would show. It woud have been 10, but Ben announced...

Knocking on Death's door

Today hasn’t been fun. I actually put on my work clothes and had my bag ready to go to work, when I realised I was feeling queasy. I wasn’t gonna be able to get through this shift if I went in. ...


I’m going to write another entry, just incase I die in the next few hours/days. I joke, but not really as well. Last night was a very warm night and I was having trouble sleeping. Or rather, my...

The Voice

Moe’s birthday dinner went well. I had intended to try and leave work right on time so I could make it there on time, but of course it was chaos and that didn’t end up happening. I texted the ...

Here we go again

I have another 47hr workweek ahead of me. For someone who usually works part-time, this is rough, gurrrrl. But horrid-week was last week and now it seems to be ironing out the rest of the shit ...

The things I get up to, that I’m vulnerable enough to share.
