my brain switches off as soon as I read the words iconic, gift ( ungrammatical ) or hear vocal fry
this is not really a good thing as these idiots might still have something worthwhile to say

"Omg besties! Babes! Obsessed!" And seeing someone drum their nails on something. Drives me batty.

My lovely colleagues dropped by campus with an age-relevant cake and moral-boosting morning tea. It's definitely helped because i had hoped to be celebrating today but what's a few days here and there when you're an adult. Plus, the headache is gone and I'm pumping out insightful observations with ease, albeit without references at this point. Highway to the Paper Zone!
That said, every time I'm writing things like "Regardless, the results suggest that ..." I feel tempted to add "(but does it though?)" on at the end. Reminder to self: this is a 25 point research project, not a real thesis, it ain't gotta be so rigorous
Happy birthday ๐ ๐ฅณ! May you have all the motivation, and a lovely celebration once all this is over ๐
Happy Borthday.
happy dance ๐
Happy birthday!!!

This bowl of lemon grass chicken insulates me from the cold
Is it just me or do EOFY deals seem thin on the ground this year?
Going to look for a new role in the coming weeks. My manager is acting like a child throwing a tantrum.
Considering my employment directly impacts my housing, it's best to look for an out before he forces me out.
You're having a tough run, dude! But good on you for recognising it's not working and being open to something else.

Got accused (jokingly) by aunt that hambam gained weight under my watch.
It's pure muscle, all I did was unleash his apex ball chasing and cheese loving genes.
I love my psychologist, she's so good. Shame I only have one more session before I have to wait til next year (or if I get a job, I can pay out of pocket lol).
I have two medicare sessions left and I've been postponing and postponing them because even with a decent job, I'll be fucked paying for the rest completely out of pocket haha. Really wish there were more pathways to access at least 15 sessions a year at the MHCP rebate for diagnosed chronic complex MH issues... not just those with eating disorders who somehow get 40 (!!!) rebated psychological treatment services every 12 months as long as they're billed under eating disorder-related services... (not to take anything away from people with EDs but damn there are some other conditions too that could really benefit from even short-term access to increased sessions esp with acute flareups).
Eating disorders get it because they're genuinely lethal if left untreated. Anorexia has the highest death rate of any psychological condition. By a lot.
There are some...especially pressing reasons to make treatment consistently available for that

Ordering groceries online is easy, carrying them all to the kitchen from the front door is hard. I am exhausted just from that effort, and haven't even put it away yet. I really should have ordered some chocolate.
Just put the cold stuff away. The rest of it can wait.
My kitchen and living areas are upstairs ๐
i think i use the stairs at least 30 times a day
It would have kept your strength up
3 classes back to back at breakneck pace and got saddled with a duty right after it, this sucks.
