Positive team building post. π
So what is the first song you remember? Mine is The Beatles, Twist and Shout. I must have been about two and a half, maybe younger. I remember the joy of it.

U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
One thing I'm very grateful for with my upbringing is that there was a lot of music - the Beatles, Beach Boys, U2, Meatloaf, The Seekers. We'd go on family drives (to other country towns for their pokie joints), but the drive was always great with the music playing.

Does anyone know if you can still get this type of heat pack anywhere. Made out of red corduroy. It's my migraine safety blanket. The phone number is disconnected and I get no results searching for the company name...
Edit... I just tried an image search, which i'd tried earlier with no luck, and for some reason it came up with something this time... Heatwheat.com.au

In office today I'm sitting next to someone relatively new (different team).
She had a fairly strong Russian accent and even a polite and innocent sentence sounds like a threat.

Nice little funderstorm rapidly approaching from the north.
How long before it hits?
That one has fizzled out - another coming and I can hear the funder.
Didn't get the role I went for sadly.
Am drowning with work atm. Asking manager for more money tomorrow.
dang, was this in the same company or a different location?
Different place
has it gotten that unsustainable at the current joint? Damn! hopefully the outgoing boss might find need for you in a new role.

I know this is not the right thing to do but sometimes hearing about someone elses drama reduces my own anxiety.
I think it's ok too, even if just to realise that we all have things to deal with.
I can relate. Sometimes other peopleβs issues makes me feel like mine arenβt really all that bad. (Jeebus, my typos recently.)
hugs
it kinda makes it feel normal , feel human
and that we are able to cope by way of being human
I like to lighten the scene up with my unimportant natter. Balance and all.
I also think it's most beneficial to get things out in the open even to strangers on here. Mental health and physical health are so important.
unimportant natter
Gnats are important too.
Title
It's been a few years, and I'm still coming across things I thought I had, only to find them gone. It's my fault for not unpacking certain boxes for years, but to find my nostalgic possessions don't exist anymore due to a certain someone - idk. Photos I'll never see again, objects that were taken from me... Those people still have power over me, and I wish I could let it go, accept that that is okay. But it isn't. I'm not okay.
At least the cat has been clingy, prolly picking up on my anxieties and deep grief. He is a welcome relief, and I love him so much.
Sorry for the downer post.
so many hugs
