Thanks Melba. They are helpful reminders. I am on meds and have a good doctor. Need to find better iron tablets because the ones I was taking were making me sick. I have written "sloth mode" in my journal as my may motto
What are some small low energy things you do to make you feel connected to the world and a bit of joy? I need some little sparks this week to claw back from this burnout.
I recently bought a bed from Quokka Beds. They are a little joint in Perth that premake beds out of wood. I got one out of Tassie oak. Really simple. Easy to put together and I am really happy with it.
Edit: I had previously slept on a mattress on a couple of pallets so I also appreciate simple
Even though I care not for the spud, after Trump and the shenanigans about stolen elections, I am proud that I live somewhere where elections are called and there is some basic civility around the gracious defeat speech then the victory speech. This might be the bottle of bubbly talking...
Yeah. I have been talking to a bunch of colleagues in the US lately & it's tough. They are not their government. I am just so glad we didn't go that way.
I've been really stressed for a lot of reasons (general fear of Australia choosing to be smaller and meaner and personal because I work in a environmentally/renewables aligned job that would be massively at risk) . I feel better. I hope a few of the climate aligned independents get in to hold them to account.
My booth had more people on the cake and sausage stalls then out the front with fliers. That's something a lot of countries wouldn't understand and I think it's awesome. Democracy done. School supported and choc chip bickkies in mah tummy
Thanks for the kindness and good ideas. I have made a list of things I can do when it gets hard. Have managed to eat. Now shower and bed. Night
