        I’d like to take the credit but it was all her dad’s doing.

        I sat in the pub today and happy cried twice in the Vic roads office. That’s my contribution.

    Had another recruiter reach out for an application I put in yesterday!

    Just going to keep up the pace and hopefully something will click in place.

    2nd interview at 1pm. Fingers crossed 🤞

      Maybe we should send him $97-60 for an Uber home - via text message from a site in com.ru

      Got one of these a while back purporting to be from my son to pay for taxi home. Given that he was in San Francisco at the time I should have leapt at the opportunity - cheapest fare home from there I’ve ever heard of.

    Mickey is getting his annual vaccination tomorrow, before he can stay at the cattery when I’m in Perth.

    Ugh. Every time I travel to Perth, I always say I don’t want to stay for a long time because I hate leaving Mickey and I’m a homebody. So why did I agree to three, almost four, weeks 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

      As a homebody and recent survivor of a Perth family pilgrimage, you will be tired but it won’t be as bad as you think - heck you’ll probably even have fun! Mickey will have enough time to make friends and get comfortable, he’ll he fine.

    2nd interview went ok. I was pretty nervous tbh so if it doesn’t move ahead that’s ok. But the guy did tell me what the next steps would be.

    Fingers crossed but I’m still applying to other jobs of course.

    Well that was an interesting drive. Had to navigate a set of failed traffic lights, two separate wheelie bins that had blown onto the road, and a small fallen branch. It’s windy out there, take care.

    Last night, I stupidly ate a chilli in an attempt to unblock my nose. Today, I am reaping the consequences. Just an upset stomach. Nose still very much blocked. Yay!

      Have you tried nasal sprays?

      Potentially better than a chili

              Oh dang…even the baby balsam? I think that’s low (or free from) camphor.

              There’s steamer liquids you can get, bit if eucalyptus (if that’s okay) and other stuff that helps with congestion.

    My butt is being kicked by whatever is going on with my mental health. The fact that from next week onwards, 25+ sets of eyes will be evaluating my performance at least twice a day, plus the resources I manage to create, is scaring the shit out of me. I’m really worried about not having time to do stuff and not performing. I dislike that I get overwhelmed so easily.

    But I am reminding myself that I can ask for ideas.
