Some stars out tonight. So nice to be away from the light pollution.

that looks amazing , great photos

I so badly want to throw a sickie tomorrow but I'm not going to.

Am hour went past in what felt like seconds playing with the pedal.

Yeeeeeeha!

Goodnight all ❤️

I’m not sure if it’s in your work policy but don’t throw a sickie tomorrow or you might need a medical certificate for being next to a public holiday. (Good Friday)

Just got a "how and why to vote liberal" flyer in the mailbox. There are two candidates in my seat - a Labor and a Green. Good work on the analytics there fellas.

2 candidates sounds really unlikely? You can check your electorate here. ABC election guide
- Ah, my bad. I checked a few days after the election was called (and I thought it was weird too). I see now that a few more of the usual suspects have popped up names on the ticket.

Can't sleep, too hot, angry angry angry at having my work schedule upended last minute and not having the time I really needed and now running behind on things again. Forced back out into site visits when I had other stuff to do and planned everything ahead of time. I am firmly putting my foot down next time.

I'm going to be extra grumpy from being sleep deprived as well...

Aww… Melbcat has flopped into me to be the little spoon. My big soft teddy bear.

Saw the movie Mickey 17. It was OK. Felt like with the premise it should have been better but seemed like something was missing. 3/5 popcorns.

The new work laptop has a Copilot button. The most offensive thing about it is the Copilot button has replaced the right Ctrl key. Remapping it with Powertoys hasn't worked. I actually use the right Ctrl key so the irony of this button promising a productivity assistant replacing an actually useful key that enhances productivity is not lost on me.

This would make me furious. Not the ctrl key!!!!
- Absolutely breaks the muscle memory of Ctrl+Enter to send an email

They seemed to like the drawn tutorial (with the original video credited of course) so I whacked up part 2 - someone followed them both and posted their results. There you go. I’ve made my first few tutorials and kinda become a teacher to others.

Now to actually learn how to draw myself and not teach people bad habits 🤪

I managed to get another weeks worth of antibiotics which will hold me til I can see my regular gp.

I feel heavy as lead and like I’ve been beaten by a sack of hammers. The anxiety has been bad today too which can be the low phosphate. The phosphate supplement has to be ordered in and costs $70-ish…

I remember when I got the infusion for the first time, the doctor googled in front of me what foods contain phosphate.
He said, "We don't want you consuming sugary drinks and highly processed fast food, but in this case, it will help those phosphate levels."
- Yeah, they recommended that to me too. And as much as I’d love to the burger isn’t possible!
maybe you have a special talent in explaining and demonstrating , what a great gift to have
and hugs, hope you are able to get that phosphate you need
- Hmm, I hope so. (lol just found and fixed a mistake)
  It should come in tomorrow and I can get a lift on Saturday

All my dreams are physical fights.

And I woke up with a normal headache.

Weird.

I had a vivid dream for the first time in a while. It involved a work colleague I don't interact with much, speaking with them about work but also ninjas and karate on a long train ride to a suburb called Brain, where I was meeting an ex work colleague for her birthday party at a Japanese pizza and board games restaurant. I fell asleep multiple times at the birthday party and learned my male colleagues name (in my dream) was Wendy, which was short for Wendsley.
- 8/10 dream good world building but needs more dramatic tension
