    Come on rain!!!

    In other news, I’ve effectively done nothing the last 2 days except nap, eat, play and cuddle Fluffball.

    Perfection.

    Also, I think I solved my almost 12 months of broken sleep.

    It’s the antidepressant. I feel stupid for not figuring it out sooner. So I’m not taking a 2nd tablet in the late afternoon and will see what happens.

    Thanks chatgpt

    Easter party 2 doors down w/ heaps of kids.

    Neighbour has 2 dogs going off at the noise. I start digging out a tree on the boundary and one of the doggos starts going off at me.

    You’re not going to win a war w/ 2 fronts doggo. Learn your history.

    No eggs for me this year :(

    But every easter I remember my old doggo Hecate, a black lab. The first easter after we got her, P’s hid the eggs the night before in the garden, and us kids would woke up to find a whole lot of doggos poo on the lawn with foil in it. She was always gonna find them. She didn’t get sick surprisingly.

    Miss that dog.

      My dog once stole half a block of chocolate off the coffee table. I left the room for 2 minutes and when I returned he was acting really shifty in his bed so I checked it and found it buried in his blankets with 2 squares nibbled out of it.

    I’ve ordered a washable electric blanket. I’m going to try and clean the existing one but having something you’re only able to spot clean is a bit grotty to me.

    I knew it, this rain was a total lie - all I ended up with was a car with dried dusty splotches all over! I’m not confident it’ll rain much tomorrow either… it’s so dry out there.

    It took so much effort but I’ve done my most important duties today: cleaned manky kitchen and bathroom, vacuumed disgusting gross carpet, washed and dried some seriously dirty sheets and clothes, put new sheets on, and gave my own oily unwashed hair a good clean. 1.5hr chat with depressed cousin (both of us significantly more cheerful after talking), and a decent dinner later, I’m certainly feeling gruntled.

    This will sound awful but I think I’m just going to frigging go into the office tomorrow and work (and count it as hours for later in the week), because I’m just not in the mood for a 4 day long weekend when I have a LOT to do before Thursday and will be pretty much unavailable for 7 working days after during which time several deadlines will come up.

    I’d rather clear my plate early, and also do it on a day when I will have zero distractions (but good coffee, ergonomics and lighting).

      I get the work thing. I’ll probably be doing a few hours tomorrow to ease the load that’s coming up.

    I’ve sorted out the gross sinks, used drain cleaner, and rinsed inside the end of the hose outlet. But due to having standing water the dishwasher pipe still smells.

    I’m going to have to scrub that out properly at some point because when I have the ability to deal with it all I intend to sell the dishwasher.

    Dirty bench is next.

    So. I’ve been doing some trials with my adhd medication over the last 3 days.

    It appears (testing tomorrow) that I have been taking almost double what I should have been taking.

    I’ll know tomorrow.

    It would explain the anxiety about nothing, the insane tenseness in my whole body amongst other things.

    Guess we’ll see.

          It’s quite remarkable what gets brought home as ‘souvenirs’. Guns etc. are fairly common, as are coins and badges etc. But … there was a case about 15 years ago in country Victoria where a man was going through their ex-WW1 great-grandfather’s papers and found the severed head of a german soldier in a box. This was successfully repatriated to the deceased’s family, but WTF!

    Feels like I’m being buried by life crap -_-

    The phosphate supplement needed to be ordered in and then the 4 day public holiday hit so I can’t get it until Tuesday. I feel like shit. I should be resting but I need to sort the things that piled up while unwell.

    Scrubbed the bathroom sink out and wiped the mirror so at least they’re clean now. Next I keep working on Mt Washmore, do the dishes in the sink.

    And then keep trying to chip away at the digital clutter. I haven’t been able to deal with it before now due to constant survival mode.

    Next week I have to try and get more antibiotics or somehow get an emergency appointment.
