    Awww fun way to end the day, both downstairs bathrooms have various plumbing issues, and the guest toilet smells like sewage.

    This houses nice clean interior really did fool us when we picked it, nothing but maintenance issues since day one.

      I don’t know a lot… but sometimes if a sink, bath or toilet hasn’t been used in a long time/isn’t used regularly there’s no barrier of water in the S-bend to stop sewer smells coming back up. If it is due to that it can help to use it occasionally to fill the S-bend back up.

      Only mentioned that on seeing the words ‘guest toilet’ and hoping that was one quick fix to reduce the number of problems, but IANAP (I am not a plumber).

        I don’t think that would be a problem, it’s by the front door, so it’s a rather popular downstairs amenity.

    Melbcat has a tummy ache and is ripping farts… her vet says she’s ok to monitor but I’m going to watch her and try to sort out some help to take her back to the vet if this keeps going. I can’t give her metacam in case that’s the issue so I’m going to heat up her tiny personal wheatbag

    Edit: She’s still eating well and jumps at the rustle of treats

    Housemate and I are having a watch TV and work from the couch day.

    In this show we are watching the main character randomly ended up pregnant at the start of the season, and my housmate pointed out how when an actress is actually pregnant they do this weird thing were they do the opposite of over act being pregnant. Now I can’t unsee how much it’s all underplayed, like God forbid anyone including the actress acknowledge the baby for more than a millisecond. I mean, I get it, but its weird once you notice it.

    Feeling really low today. The last month has been really tough, leaving Venice, the first city where I made great friends and felt like I belonged. Then, right before Christmas, I lost my beloved Nonna. I have been so busy I have just been pushing through and not thinking about it, but I feel it today. At least the PhD work today is funnish finishing off the speech and PowerPoint for a conference next week, I always enjoy making powerpoints.

      Do you think you’ll head back to Venice in the near future? It sounds like you’d love to go back and stay for a while. If you’re under 30 maybe you could go on a working holiday visa.

        In the midst of my citizenship application (it was actually approved, but nonna dying means I need to resubmit the documents), I am doing everything I can to be able to go back permanently it’s where I want to spend the rest of my life. Just difficult cause there is only one Uni there, so academic work is limited, so I need to really get in the good books with that one uni lol.

          I totally forgot you had citizenship by descent as an option. Well it sounds like you’re on your way there and ticking all the right boxes - that’s got to be something very exciting to look forward to once you’ve finished your PhD! Would you be trying to take the cats over?

    Think I need to find a new psych, but having been rejected by one before 15 years ago, I don’t want to put myself up for that hurt again. Yeah I’m complex. (ASD, cptsd from childhood, anxiety etc). Seems too hard to get help…,

      Urgh. Last time I attempted to get help nobody would understand that making telephone calls was one of the things that were impossible right then.

      I feel this so hard; cptsd and depression, possible ADHD. The things stopping me are 1) I don’t want to talk about all the hurt I am in and why again, and 2) cost. So exxy, so little rebate.

      I wish you well and a good luck in finding a psych you gel well with! Be kind to yourself and take it easy, it’s gonna be okay!

    Accidentally napped for over 3 hours. Woke and remembered the washing I put on at lunch time was still in the machine. Not covering myself in glory today.

    I forgot to post after my return post but I’m here, I’ve got all good news, I started a polymer clay jewellery business - I haven’t had any sales yet but I’ll get there eventually. I’m also really enjoying/experiencing the benefits of ADHD medication, it’s wonderful having a clear brain for a good chunk of the day.

    Got off work early though not as early as expected and ran in for a hair cut, no line, super fast.

    I’m not sure I like my cut but nothing can be done about it now.

    Not one of my usual barbers that I’d had before

    That’ll teach me to check my roster first thing - I got dressed for work, opened the app and realised that I don’t have any clients today - my normal Tuesday morning is now Wednesday, at least for this week.
    At least when I phoned the office to double check the receptionist and I had a good laugh together.
