Had my follow-up appointment this morning (for the leg veins) and I’m all booked in for the 18th! So ten days time. I’m excited and nervous. He showed me the (massive length) fibre cable that ...

I haven’t gone to work today. It probably doesn’t look good after having just had my three days off, but my back is literally too fucked. I woke up on time to get to work and realised that I wo...

---

I’ve done my back in, somehow. MAN it has been painful. Happened sometime on Monday, I think, but it’s hard to pinpoint when exactly. I guess I’m just getting old and falling apart haha. I wi...

---

I haven’t written in a little while again, but I’ve been out of quarantine for a week and it’s been nice getting back to my routine I guess. The first day felt weird even walking around in the f...

---

So the new housemate has tested positive. Great! He’s doing the right thing and isolating to his room, disinfecting everything he touches and letting me know when he’s leaving his room whilst ...

---

I’m feeling pretty good today. Went and ran a few errands. Got some steel caps and new work pants for work (since I literally felt and HEARD mine split at work on Sunday LOL). The steel caps a...

---

I’m doing alright now that I’ve gotten through another work-week. It’s just been a case of over-worked. One of my workmates said to the store manager that he just needs a week of doing his cont...

---

I’m just going to start writing and see where this goes. My mental health isn’t the greatest at the moment. The anxiety is more through the proof than the depression is though, so I suppose it...

---

It’s been a strange few days, mentally. Mostly pretty good with a few moments of down-ness. It’s annoying not being able to pinpoint what it is, because it feels like nothing. I found myself f...

---

I suppose I should write, as I finally had my first Covid vaccine last Thursday evening. The nurse could tell I was nervous, but assured me that 75% of people she has seen have felt the same way...

---

So sad seeing what’s happening in Afghanistan. Why would you hang to the outside of a plane!? Man, that’s sheer desperation. Incredibly sad. Australia is trying to get three planes in but are...

---

Mother-dearest has cancelled dad’s 70th birthday celebration. Lockdown is over here again (for now) but we still have restrictions for two weeks. Masks I am used to now, but an added restrictio...

---

I haven’t written in a little while. I’ve been kind of busy, kind of not. I guess the latest is that we’re in lockdown again, so that’s fun. Although I joke that being in lockdown really isn’t...

---

As everyone knows by now, these are such weird times we are living in. I keep thinking forward to in 10-20 years time when this is a memo in the history books. I’ll be old and ancient by then (...

---

As predicted, we’re in lockdown again. Yay.... Probs good that I didn’t go anywhere and cancelled everything. So we can only leave the house for 4 reasons, which are usually the only reasons I...

---

Ive already done extra hours this week. They needed someone to take all the icecream out as a technician is de-icing it tonight, as it’s from like the 80’s and so shit. Anyway, that’s boring. I...

---

I’ve sort of been a bit of a seamstress lately. Rather than throwing out torn old clothes and broken buttons etc, I’ve been watching YouTube videos and repairing them by hand. I’ve repaired a f...

---

In a surprise twist, lockdown is over! I was filling at work when a customer who was reading her phone told me. We were both surprised as we were convinced it would be extended. There was a fu...

---

Mum sent us kids through a photo of Ma sitting in her chair in her home. It was side-on so could only see a side profile, but I still understood that she was maybe scared. Mum said the doctor sa...

---

So Easter is cancelled this year for my family, on account of a further 8 cases today. I woke up for a text from my mum saying it’s off. A further case will be announced in tomorrow’s numbers w...

---

I finished reading “Honeybee” by Craig Silvey. Not what I expected at all. I’m glad I didn’t read any reviews so I didn’t even know what the plot was going to be. It used real Australian citie...

---

There’s pros and cons to living anywhere I guess. I’m into my third year of a lease already at the Newstead apartment and it’s crazy how fast time flies. A pro Ive found is that sometimes I run...

---

Last week was a tough bloody work week, ergh, so glad it was over. The 2IC came back from two weeks off, even though he had a month off when Covid all went down, and he went home on his first da...

---

I finally have a sofa! OMG. I was asked to stay back at work on Thursday when I’d organised for it to be delivered after I was meant to finish at noon, so I said I’d work until I got the text th...

---

I’m doing alright. Another busy work week I’m gradually making my way through. I’m really keen on a beach day on my days off, as there’s recently always been something holding me back, like the...
