    Got assigned my first client today! Also a title change. Now service delivery manager. Fancy title same job as before.

    Otherwise there’s a lot to take in! It’s only day 2 so expectations aren’t high, but still. I want to be picking this all up quickly so I can to the actual job.

    The new sewing machine inspired me to finish a simple job I’ve been putting off for ages - I have sewn a zipper into a cardigan my Mum knitted for me ages ago. The machine sews beautifully, I’m very pleased with it.

    If you commit murder in a senseless, vicious and unprovoked attack, I don’t care that you were only 16. You need to be locked up for life, for the safety of society if nothing else.

    In a tentative sign that I might finally be kicking this stupid cold/flu/whatever, I just had to stop work and make emergency pikelets. I haven’t felt like eating anything for a week so this is good.

    …my garmin watch did give me a heartrate warning while I was doing it so I think a couple more days on go slow is a good idea

      It’s always a really good feeling when your appetite returns! Definitely sounds good to ease yourself back in though

    I’m sorry to have concerned anyone yesterday.

    TW medical

    I’m making every effort to take care of my health, have been involving advocates and have shown up to the ER repeatedly.

    Unfortunately medical care for rare or chronic illnesses involves a lot of barriers, jumping through hoops and waiting. I have been seeking help and answers for a very long time.

    I have been seeing specialists and have recently had to change hospitals because I wasn’t getting anywhere with the previous ones and they don’t perform the procedure I now need.

    I’m currently being handballed between a private specialist and a public system that is dragging its feet. Even if I convince this doctor and pay out of pocket the earliest I could see him is September. I will also continue to attend the ER to build a relationship with the new hospital and try to expedite things further. (I have an existing referral to their specialists that has already been expedited but I could still be waiting a while.)

    I will continue to do my best to get the treatment but it’s likely to be an ongoing struggle and I’m not 100% sure that I will get it soon enough.

    Horrible subject. Normally I don’t talk about it. The only reason I even posted is that things are getting serious so I wanted to warn you guys and give you ample time to adjust to the idea if by some chance I don’t make it.

      Thanks for the update - I think we were all a bit concerned. If this eases your mind, I’m fairly sure someone here (might even be me) will take care of Melbcat if needed in a hurry and you don’t have time to set up a preferred option. I don’t have a cat at present, so can offer no charge care in my home which is cat proofed in anticipation of getting a cat in the near future.

        Thanks so much.

        I’m stressed about it but if worst comes to worst I’m speaking with a support worker about taking Melbcat. With luck it won’t need to happen but I’ll get my ducks in a row.

      I’m sorry you’re going through such a hard time. I hope that between the private specialist and public system can at least offer support for you 🙏

    Yay: I didn’t lose my expensive but very good fingerless gloves, they’re at the doctor’s!

    Nay: now I have to drive there and back. Meh. At least I’m not as incapacitated as the last two days. I really need those gloves though!

    Also, reading that thread on the escaped cow in South Yarra on the other site, I have had that song in my head all morning. We will fight for, bovine freedom…

    Pakige was not at my local post office. I didn’t even look before I drove there, but it was actually at a business centre so I had an impromptu drive to Bayswater to collect it. While I was out I took the opportunity to top up the petrol tank at a station which is still at 177c instead of 219c which most of them have jumped to.

    Pakige was worth the drive - I now have a new-to-me sewing machine. It appears to be barely used and in full working order, including the all important automatic needle threading which I really struggle to do myself now that my eyesight is getting dodgy.

    Today marks my 1 year anniversary of living in lead tenant. It sure feels like it’s been longer than a year.

    It’s an odd feeling. Overall, my life is definitely better now than it was this time 1 year and 6 months ago, but with everything that’s happened recently, it’s difficult to say that I’m still happy here. It’s difficult to think back on how good, and how happy I was a month after moving in to now when I wake up in a panic at 2 in the morning thinking I’ve heard something, and barricade my door at night time.

      Baku, I think I speak for a lot us when I say how impressed I am with your maturity and common sense. Things have been hard for you recently, and this will take some time to adjust to. Waking up at 2 am thinking we’ve heard something happens to us all, I think though for most of us its just possums or rats or a piece of household equipment falling over (thank you cats). You are being exceptionally mature about this, especially since the threat is probably still quite real.

        Thank you TW. The nosies thing has happened before, but it’s affecting me a lot more now because I’m pretty sure it’s all in my head

          The real problem is that one can’t just assume that ‘its all in my head’ cos when you do that - its real. Heightened alertness is a known side effect of trauma - and I consider the ex-housemate as trauma on legs. Be gentle with yourself - the hyperalertness will dissipate over time. Sucks to go through it though.

        Thanks Goonsy. I’ve been through this all before at the last place, multiple times, so it makes it a little easier to know what to do, but it never gets any easier to cope with
