Applied for a bunch of contact centre work. I feel like I'm going backwards, but trying to remind myself that it's just so I can afford a bunch of driving lessons and then I can apply for more animal industry roles.
I’ve done the call centre thing too, in the past - not fun but gets you $. Just remember it’s a means to an end, and you’ll be moving on to something better in no time 💛
Ol' girls new dietitian approved of the shit I've been doing food-wise so that's a relief. Didn't add anything really so that keeps things easy.
Wrote out a thing for ol' boy as he goes with her to these things, basically weight / diet etc. over time pre / post op. Didn't realise he was just going to print it out and give it to the dietitian. There was a lot of swearng lol.
If the psychologist is suggesting an assessment, go for it. They have knowledge and experience with neurodivergent people and their vibe sense may have picked up that you meet some criteria. Also it’s not either/or, people can have both autism and adhd. Throw in some trauma, depression, difficult family situation etc and it’s not gonna be easy. You are doing so well trying to get to know yourself and look after yourself. It’s not always a smooth road. But it will be worth it.
I have found every small win helps every other difficulty
with a better skill set at recognising and handling dysfunctional communication coming from others we get less reactive, less frustrated , it becomes a them problem, not a me problem
I fell off the bike two weeks ago and I think my knee is up to riding again.
It's super annoying because I was on damp wooden boards, knew they'd be slippery so I went slower, and fell anyway. The view was nice next to the lake-thing near home but next time it has rained I'll stick to the road.
I’ve had this phone for 5 years and the battery is starting to die faster… also voice control is randomly activating.
I don’t think I can afford another myself so when this finally becomes unreliable the next one will probably be a basic android from Colesworth (as the previous one was). And I’ll keep this plugged in purely as a tiny drawing tablet until it dies. Hate planned obsolescence
Can recommend the cheapo oppo one I got a while back. I think it was $150 thereabouts. A15 I think. Was only supposed to be a temp thing as new govt. apps wouldn't go on the old iphone and needed those quickly.. but it's fine so I just kept it.
Had it for a few months now and so far still going. Battery / camera isn't great, not exactly 'snappy' either but honestly after this I just don't see myself bothering w/ high end mobiles anymore.
After three months of procrastination I finally got around to writing an email requesting permission to put in my vegie garden. They are not allowed to say no without good reason, but I also requested permission to put in some permanent plants that they could. Fingers crossed - I believe it would add value to the property and they should say yes, but it's also possible the landlords are vegetation hating idiots, so I just have to wait and see.
Spring will be here soon so it's a good time to get garden beds established - I have lots of cardboard from moving set aside to go down as weed barrier, and will need to get lots of compost & mulch on top. I'm looking forward to having enough space to do large plants like pumpkins without having to train them up a support, and also looking forward to not having everything eaten by possums.
There was a $20 arch at Bunnings, so you could train the pumpkins over that and still plant stuff underneath. Unsure if bigger fruits would need supports though. (I trained mini pumpkins up stakes)
I might do that for a few things like cucumbers, but I actually have enough space on the ground here. I have probably twice as much space in the back as I did in the last place, and there are no overhanging trees from the neighbours to fight with so it's all useable.
They are not allowed to say no to the vegie garden, so that bit's not a problem. But I also want to put in some permanent trees & bushes which they could say no to (or could insist everything be removed when I move and restored to how it is now, which is effectively the same thing).
If you can be fucked with specifics there's the FODMAP routine to test dietary intolerances but it's a bit of a drag, moreso if you're eating with the family.
Nah I can't be fucked. I've done my own experiments. For some reason toast doesn't bother me but "raw" bread does. I feel on top of the world when I don't eat much of it.
I know it's not the butter because I slather that on toast. Pizza makes me feel shit almost immediately and the next day too.
It could be the yeast. Also fresh bakery bread doesn't really bother me either but I am limiting that too.
Commercial yeast is a trigger for my gut. Its used because it's cheap and gives consistent results, not because its good for you. I do make my own sourdough, and can cope with using normal white bread flour for that, and I've found that I can tolerate a little bit of the commercial white stuff if I preload in the day with some sourdough.
If you get a piece of bread or bread roll and rip the crust off and squeeze it into a ball it's almost dough again. That's going in my gut and that's why I feel shit and sluggish.
Fodmap diets do suck. I restricted so many things and am still in pain. That said I’m a bit of a special case, there are plenty of things an otherwise normal person can still have.
still resting my back, it's 90% better, upper back 100% better, just doing slow gentle house work today and a little gentle garden tidying
then tomorrow it's more errands down the street
I put a big box on it's side in the hallway and the cats are happy playing today 😸it's Ted's secret lair and heaven help anyone who tries to walk past 😼😹
DT wisdom question: Glasses wearers, how do you clean your glasses? I’m relatively new to glasses, just use them for reading. Somehow I always manage to put smudges on them, even if I’m trying to be careful. I’ve used the little cloth they came with, and also lens spray plus cloth. It works kinda ok, but neither is great. I find the cloth annoyingly small, sometimes get my fingers on the lens when I’m trying to clean them. Can I just use a regular larger microfibre?
Edit: Thankyou, so many good options! Will try them all out.
Don't use microfibre - does quite a bit of scratching and NEVER use paper towel. A small spray bottle with 2:1 vinegar/water mix - mist glasses and dry with soft lint free cloth or the cloth they came with. If the glasses don't have a coating, then a gentle dab with hand sanitiser on a tissue works for emergencies. I found that the frame gets way muckier than the actual lenses, so an occasional warm water and dish soap rinse is great for cleaning the frames.
What you need is 2 cloths. Spray your glasses with the spray. Wipe clean with one cloth.Then polish with the 2nd cloth. Keep these separate. Basically one is for cleaning and one is for drying. They also need regular washing.
Oil free baby wipes work well instead of spray too.
It’s the area I live in. I’m getting a bit worried about the delivery of the special food Melbcat needs…
I feel guilty about calling the cops but this guy looks like the guy who’s stolen from me a lot. And I only get “fancy” foods and delivery due to disability. 😞
For example Melbcat has food allergies and IBD and there’s only one kind of treats she can have. I stock up and give her a steady stream of them to keep her happy and eating.
Well one time I stocked up and he swiped the lot. Probably just threw them into a bush when he saw it wasn’t anything he could hock.
He also has money for ciggies, keeps having different flashy sneakers on and was wearing a North Face coat. So while I don’t shame poor people for having nice things (I was given my phone) someone is obviously looking after him.
Ps. There are many services in the area and one is literally walking distance. He just does this
So sorry. What an arsehole. Could you get a video doorbell? Can get one for under $150, depends on the brand and features. It can alert you when someone is at the door, eg when the delivery arrives, so you can pick it up off the door straight away. Bonus is that you have evidence for the police too if anything is stolen.
Good work. I managed to get some washing done and a bit more unpacking, plus caught up on a bit of study. Tomorrow is back to work, I'm stuck at work for all the good weather predicted and then off once the rain comes in ☹️
I've done 4 loads of washing today! did 1 hour in the garden cleaning up , washed 2 bathrooms, cleaned the kitchen , did the grocery shopping, looked after the cats, washed floors, etc etc

Don't use microfibre - does quite a bit of scratching and NEVER use paper towel. A small spray bottle with 2:1 vinegar/water mix - mist glasses and dry with soft lint free cloth or the cloth they came with. If the glasses don't have a coating, then a gentle dab with hand sanitiser on a tissue works for emergencies.
