So things are bleak. After I wrote that last entry, my mum rang me. That was a tough conversation, especially when I heard my mum break down over the phone. The doctor has officially given my dad...

---

I had a phone call from my mother right after I wrote that last entry. Things aren’t good. She’s called a family meeting in Toowoomba for next week to discuss what to do with my dad. She broke...

---

I’m watching the opening ceremony for the Paris Olympic Games at the moment. It’s the replay, as I wasn’t getting up at 2:30am to watch it live. It’s actually pretty cool, despite the rain. I ...

---

Again, just the opinion of an outsider Aussie here. I wonder how I’d feel if I were American, but I think most of the people I read here are, so it’s cool seeing different views. I don’t actual...

---

Craaaaaazy! I turned the TV on this morning when it was breaking news that Trump had been shot, although they were reporting it as though he hadn’t been hit and he just just ducked when the shots...

---

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...

---

I’m still feeling like shit. I keep mentally telling myself that I need to take leave every Winter because I sure as hell hate the cold. So many of my friends love it, but not for me. Everyone ...

---

I’ve picked up a nasty little bug from somewhere. So annoying. Very phlegmy. Gross. The cough is the worst part. Naturally, me being worrier-me, I took one of my tests right away. No lines ...

---

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, at the moment, it looks like I’ll be going into work tomorrow, with Covid. I texted my ASM to ask what the policy is and he confirmed what I thought it was - as long as asymptomatic and no...

---

I’m back from the doctor! I managed to squeeze in an appointment and got back just in time for the lighting guy, who was a half-hour early. Anyway, it was all a bit confusing. Even the form he ...

---

My entries might be a bit weird for now, as my keyboard has decided to stop working for some reason, so I’ll either be using my onscreen keyboard or my phone. As if my spell-check wasn’t already...

---

I need to try and find a way to mentally deal with the evil that goes on this world. I’m not very good at it. It’s affecting me, big-time. How do you guys do it? I need some advice. Normally ...

---

I managed to fight off a panic-attack last night. It was brought on by my overthinking of the horrific murder situation of Jesse and Luke, and me trying to think of scenarios of how it could hav...

---

So I’m in shock that this beautiful boy is no longer with us, it seems. I had a shock yesterday afternoon when a bunch of people were sharing ‘missing person’ reports of him, and the link was fro...

---

Trying to get the air-con repaired is doing my head in. There has been massive confusion between the real estate and the air-con repair guys. I had a phone call this morning asking if I’m free ...

---

The pandas are fucking annoying. Aren’t people paying memberships to prevent this shit? I guess we’ll get there eventually with the aircon. The technicians finally came out today to have a look...

---

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...

---

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...

---

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...

---

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...

---

I don’t know how tonight is going to go. I’ve booked for 16 but I think about 9 are coming. I have to count the ‘maybes’ as ‘no’s‘ on the invite list. But anyway, things have been bad, and goo...

---

I’m kind of almost at my wit’s end, it feels like sometimes. I’ve found I’m generally okay for the first few hours of a morning, and then I don’t know if it’s the humid weather or what, but I de...

---

I’m writing so often because I want to document how weird this situation is. I’ve never experienced anything like it. Is this what people on hard drugs feel like all the damn time? Moreso the ...

---

Whoaaaa, last night wasn’t pleasant. Like holy-cow. I’m not sure what brought it on (besides the obvious trauma of the past week) but my anxiety was so severe and I was freaking out about how t...
