    I have definitely been humbled over the last 6 months. I think I had an ego problem last year and it’s been brought well under control.

    It’s interesting, because when I was egotistical I felt insecure a lot, but now I’m not letting it get out of control, I feel a sort of quiet confidence.

    Life is weird.

      So interesting when the narrative in our heads differs from what’s going on in our hearts hey. And we can ignore it all we want, but deep down we know the truth even if we don’t want to know.

    Its nearly 2am, I am exhausted and yet I can’t sleep because of this stupid cough. Feels like I’ve always got a tickle in my chest and can’t breathe fully but when I do cough hard, all that ever comes out are the tiniest bits of phlegm. Never had this level of respiratory discomfort. Doctors appointment when I wake up, I think.

      Rough. I usually smash some cold and flu decongestant if it’s that bad or put on my humidifier while sleeping.

        Just waiting to see doc and of course the waiting room is where my cough decides to become productive as heck… Will definitely be getting something along those lines to try and consolidate the mucus

        Last night the closure of 24/7 pharmacies really hit me bad

    It’s hard work getting the upholstery tacks out of the underside of the seat , they are pretty much flush with the wood and require a bit of effort . I had to take my oodie off!!

    We had a therapy dog here at work today for the first time.

    I’m not sure if this is going to be a permanent thing but it was awfully nice to see a doggo at work today.

    Got a major case of the CBF’s today. Think I’ll go for a walk in the sun and see if that changes my mood.

    I finally got to hand out the prizes for my short story writing competition to the last school. It was fun. I am always nervous presenting in front of anyone, let alone a full school assembly but I think I spoke well and didn’t stuff anything up. Hopefully the kids will enjoy the prize and the letter I wrote them.

    Last night I was thinking ‘I don’t have the year levels on the envelopes, what if there are kids with the same name…nah, won’t happen.’

    Yeah it happened.

    Was a little awkward, but the wrong kid was in prep so it was an easy fix but I feel bad for the little prepper. I might give him a book anyway.

    They took photos of me with the winners and I know I will look terrible because I don’t know how to stand, or where to put my hands, or smile for the camera.

    Worked all weekend because hey, weekends are over-rated right? Time for day 8 of the working week. Thanks, Crowdstrike… :|

    Staff are all back on-deck today. Pray for Mojo… and remember, friends don’t let friends work in IT.

      Well now the servers are presumably back where’s that TIL. Anything over the usual 38 is generally til or overtime - yea even in IT, push back.

    I popped into coles for some Jarrah coffee. Half price by the way, saw the French vanilla and decided I needed that one too because of the Olympics even though I know I prefer the Brazilian.

    I got stopped by an oldie as customary, not to ask for help with anything but just a chat. 🤷‍♀️
