Iβm hugging a hot water bottle right now.
Massive day today. Worked non stop from 7:40 to 3:40 including a whole lot of new shit and new requirements to my job that, while making a lot of sense and genuinely good for service delivery, involve a level of mental load/energy that's... not exactly what I signed up for. I need more training and preparation. It kind of happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to formulate a response, and ask for reasonable accommodation/support. I'm definitely willing to give it a go and see if it improves things, but I just really didn't need that extra burden this week π£
Anyway... I then had to go help a friend out with some things and ended up having a long chat in the car, really was good to unload but I ended up really exhausted and emotional. Despite my pledge to cook more at home and save money I gave in and ordered the two-large-pizza-plus-garlic-bread special at my local for 37.50. I'm reminding myself that it'll be enough for dinner tonight, brekkie tomorrow, dinner tomorrow and maybe even lunch the day after. Thankfully lunch is catered tomorrow at some training thing I gotta do. I'd really rather catch up with work but it's mandatory training so oh well...
I'm thinking after I come back from my break I'm gonna have to ration out my energy a bit better at work in terms of in person interactions. Might need to start requesting one day from home even though I genuinely want to work away from home for the work/life separation - I'm just gonna be really exhausted with all the masking and social interaction.
Mickey has discovered the benefits of being inside my hoodie with me in it too.
Mrs is channel surfing and skipped past βfarmer wants a wifeβ, when a strange thought popped into my head: good on 7 for getting some farmers laid. Working a farm is tough as shit, itβs not like you can go to the pub every other night. Country towns are often small, people couple up quick outta school. So ignoring the reality tv show aspect I suppose itβs really a net positive hey.
I worked on a farm when I was 19 for about 2 years. No job has ever been as hard as that was. Not even house demolitions and that is brutal.
So what I'm hearing is not only do farmers deserve some love, but it'd be pretty... intense.
I really don't care for running and I wonder how people enjoy it. It's a lot of work for what seems like limited benefits.
I really do feel you get much more bang for your buck weight training if you had to choose between the two.
Helps me mentally more than physically. Sort of like a really exhausting mindfulness session.
I donβt mind a light jog on the treadmill if I can watch something on the iPad.

Ah sweet Mimi!!! βΊοΈππ
I looooove tuxedo cats. That photo perfectly encapsulates how cute yet elegant they are. Please give Miss Mimi a little bop on her precious little head from me.
I can hear someone singing and playing a harmonica, while a car alarm goes off.
Love Brunswick.
