I want so badly to draw or do something but not enough to actually be able to do it. It’s like my mind and body are fried.
Almost a week after the iron infusion I’m still aching, nauseous, have a splitting headache and going between hot and cold.

Back home after picking up my mum from the hospital. I left around 3am once we realised she wasn’t going to get seen by the doctor for hours, and I would be too tired to safely drive her home. Took until 10am to get her scans done, and 3pm to get the all clear, so a long stint in ED. She’s just got some bruises and she’s a bit sore, so glad that’s all it is.
I went to the tow truck place to clear out her car and she’s lucky the collison was on the passenger side and not the driver side, because she would have been severely injured. The other person involved was completely fine, newer car with way more airbags that cushioned the impact.
Barely slept last night and all the driving around today, I’m exhausted.
So glad that you're both ok. Definitely rest up, that's a lot to deal with in 24 hrs...
Big careful hugs for you and your mum 🫂
Glad she’s ok, hope she can rest up and everything is alright
Your poor mum - I’m so glad she’s ok. And very stressful for you, too
so many hugs
happy your mum is ok considering

Came home late last night from the psych to find mrs and tinyest eating 2 minute noodles out of a bowl on (as well as off of) the floor. Apparently this was the "compromise" to get him to eat. Glad I washed the floor the other day.
My kid ate some of the cat’s food out of her bowl once. Think it’s probably good for their immune systems

He'll get more germs from daycare than your floor.
This election campaign will drive me crazy because of the huge number of people who cannot pronounce nuclear. Nukular, nooclearar, nuklah, gnocchi-la, newklrrrr, arrgghhhhhhhh.
It's new-clue-arrrr
we need to hear more about the policies on gnocchi-la
One vote for the gnocchi-la ✅ I'm not fussed about the sauce.
still waiting on REA 😠
5 hours late, then they send a no show apology 😡
Cutting a big old bit of concrete with an angle grinder and didn't realise it had rebar in it.. whoopsie doodle. Tried to snap it in half when half way through without realising. Whoopsie doodle x 2 :(
Duuuuuude. You OK?
We lived!
Wasn't that bad just the plan of attack failed :( Fuck they're dangerous though lol.
I will not touch an angle grinder with a ten foot pole lol
You can never quite tell when they'll kick.
yeah, I imagine that's a little dangerous?
Made myself a roast chicken sandwich.
Oh it’s so nice.
The dietician has taken ham and salami off my wife's menu to address cholesterol. It should likely apply to me also, but I'm not organised enough to book things like "check ups" and dieticians. So I bought a large whole chook last weekend and we roasted it. It's going into sandwiches this week (and will likely be a weekly thing for the foreseeable future) instead of ham/salami. So far, everyone likes the change. It works out far cheaper also: over 2kg of chook is about he prices of 500g of ham/salami.
but I’m not organised enough to book things like “check ups”
Alright consider this an order to GET organized. This is your health ffs. Nothing else is more important.
This is the second time today I've had to tell someone "yo you should REALLY see a doctor".
I personally use drumsticks as a bag of them are pretty cheap and the meat is so tender.
Air fry 1 big one or 2 medium or small should be enough for one sandwich size serving. Season before cooking, let stand for a few mins then cut the meat off.
Yum Yums to be had!
Poached chicken breast is awesome to substitute for deli meat and you can add subtle flavours to it.
