its probably a good thing that voting in mandatory. I already put 10x more effort into putting the stupid slip in the envelope than I would normally be prepared to do. Ended up giving up and holding it to stuff it in. Am I allowed? Dont care. Jobs done. and frankly given I did some research and didn't just draw a dick I'm prepared to bet I put in more effort than some folks will.

I just folded mine. Then watched the other half try to gently fit his in the envelope with his giant man hands while laughing quietly.
Council elections? I had a lot of trouble getting the envelope open far enough to put the ballot paper in. Ended up sticking a skewer in and waggling it about before putting the ballot paper in. I diagnose crappy quality control of envelope specifications.

Assignment due today that I haven't made much progress on. Two more next week with extensions, but I want to get them done end of this week so I have time to study for exams. The extensions cut into the exam study period.
Praying I can get everything done in time. I'm not going to let anything stop me today.
Never watched the Sopranos until now. Great show, but as someone who grew up with Italian grandparents, calling pasta sauce 'gravy' makes my eye twitch.
Iβve never seen the show either. Apparently itβs one of the best series out there. Maybe one day Iβll fire it up. I did rewatch True Detective season 1 recently. Itβs even better the second time. All the other seasons can go in the bin though.
I recommend it.
I just want to shout out to the teenagers emerging from the bushes after a bit of "Fun" at the park yesterday. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who clicked what was going on, dont worry. I didn't see anything NSFW, but dude you cant stagger out like your 10 tons lighter and have your girl emerge 5 seconds later adjusting her dress. Man teenagers are idiots hey.
Ah to be young again
You know, I ALMOST miss hanging out at maccas till 3am in bayswater and having fun in the back seat of a commodore or falcon.
Almost. not quite.
At least you got a big car to fool around in. Try that stuff in a Hyundai excel. No wonder my back hurts.
I get to claim never ever about cars. Wooh! Just awkward and who needs a gearstick in their butt?!

Very not looking forward to this week of work. Doing the latest possible shift, 1230 to 8.30. then week after that back to 8am to 4pm, much better.
booo. Woke up with my heart pumping and feeling anxious. I guess I need to start actively incorporating relaxation techniques again.
Hugs.
I'm sorry you're going through alot of shit right now.
One thing I like to do to de-stress is to write things down. Lists upon list. Mark things off. Add things. It helps to declutter my mind while actively getting things done.
I hope you find solutions to your troubles β₯
I've been there, ugh. Gentle hugs. I used to wake up around 1:30-2am with my heart pounding and in the midst of a panic attack. For some reason it helped me to ask myself, "what exactly am I anxious about and can I do anything about it right now?" It's an awful feeling for sure.
Edit: for clarity.
Added fun if you're afab: if you have no stressors you're aware of, go see a doctor. Feelings of dread and heart racing can be indicative of cardio problems, we present differently to amabs
