  • No, brain, you do not need to investigate whether computers still need disk defragmentation…

  • Thanks, that’s a good tip. I know I can do all the things, but somehow writing it down formally is difficult

  • Help! I am trying to write a job application for a secondment position and it’s like pulling teeth. Haven’t written to selection criteria for years so am very rusty, and the procrastination is kicking in. So far have called Medicare and done other life admin, and the vacuuming is looking tempting.

  • Let us know what you think of it. My kid’s into horror as well, and while Hereditary was maybe a bit much I’m liking quite a lot of what we’ve been seeing

  • It’s all happening at Norfland (again). This time a car has driven through it. My local shopping centre is living up to its reputation for drama

  • I’d definitely be pissed off. How hard is it to say thank you?!

  • Jealous! I would love to see that

  • Take care of yourself and I hope your back’s feeling better soon

  • I went through similar stuff with my parents and I do remember a dr explaining to me that people that age are unlikely to change their ways (probably after I’d expressed frustration about the situation), which was very hard to get my head around.

    Could you stock the house up with microwaveable soups and meal packs (there’s a few companies that deliver). Hospitals also have social workers who can help, although if your dad is in the medical field I suspect he’d be resistant to ā€˜being told what to do’. Mine definitely was.

    Could you enlist one of his mates or a rellie to have a quiet word? Or could your mum spend a bit of recovery time in a rehab place, if that’s an option?

    I reckon you’re across all these things but just putting them out there. Sending healing thoughts for your mum and hugs for you - it’s such a difficult situation.

  • I’ve had success with macpac socks. They have them for hiking and also regular thickness ones if you don’t like bulky socks

  • I’m having such a nice day. Slept in late (thanks to nurse Restavit), and have been parked on the couch with the heater on watching trashy Netflix, doing nothing at all

  • I’ve done my own personal research on this, and yes, yes it does

  • He’s gorgeous! I’ll put my hand up for babysitting duties, lol, I miss having a kitty around. You can just tape up that box and post him.

  • I’m celebrating work being finally over for the week and that I have nothing on for the weekend. OH has been told if he wants to socialise with people, to do it elsewhere (he’s fine with that, I’m not kicking him out unwillingly)
