    Gibson is going for an operation tomorrow where she’ll be under anaesthetic and tbh I’m pretty worried.

    It’s got to be done but yeah, fluffball is a real important part of my life and yeah. It’s stressful.

    Three weeks done in new hard job type. Now additional support is removed BUT I’m not longer having these tasks sent to me as a high priority, so now I’m getting way more normal things in combination with the hard things which is very nice. It was like 1 in 2 and now it’s more like 1 in 10. Much more chill than first three weeks when it was just hard new thing all the time

    i have nowhere else to bitch to but listen to this bullshit that i have to go through in fucking perth for an ADHD diagnosis (transferred from NYC). i get the referral in june and submit it to the ADHD clinic of WA that shows availability from july. they tell me it takes upwards of 8 weeks to get the referral accepted. this took 10 weeks, they accepted. in order for me to book an appointment i need to pay a $200 deposit. i pay the $200 deposit, and the first appointment isn’t until the middle of january.

    i’m fucking FURIOUS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

      It’s probably because there has been a flood of ADHD and Autism diagnosis requests in the last few years due to greater awareness. And it takes 10+ years to train a psychiatrist. So there’s a sudden massive demand but no extra specialists. I know that doesn’t help the frustration but at least it might help explain the wait times.

      That’s so shit seeing as you have a diagnosis already. Surely there is a way instead of getting rediagnosed? Do you already take meds?

      If it’s any comfort, hust know that the places that have a shorter turnaround time are often shit.

      Case in point. I waited like two months for my ADHD diagnosis through a clinic that did virtual appointments. Got diagnosed in half an hour. They gave me the wrong dose of medication and let’s just say, it was not a good time. Now I’m going to start a medication that the GP could’ve prescribed in the first place. The whole system is bonkers.

    Got offered the job from the interview on Friday. Now just to decide if I actually want to take it. My replacement is starting for my current role on Thursday.

    Mickey is a little fiend for these dental treats, he absolutely loves them.

    I guess I’ll go to petbarn and grab a massive tub of them. They’re the only treat he really begs for 😂

    First time beer battered calamari rings tonight.

    I’m sold on doing it that way now and not panko.

    Double frying which was scary in case you end up w/ a gumboot, but it actually worked.

    I used to leave my handbag in my car in the garage. Now that my car is in the yard, I bring it inside. That momentary of panic “Where did I leave it?” because I’d been out and about this weekend.

    Oh it’s there hiding behind the coffee table. Mother fucker. I now have a designated spot.

      Designated spots for things like that is very important. Especially keys, I don’t understand people that just throw them anywhere and then have to do a search every time they leave the house.

        I’ve always hung my keys up in the same spot. I have taught YL the same after once having found her car keys in her handbag.

        Everything in my house has a spot and if that item is not there I lose my shit.

          same, it makes life easy 👍

          and if you look at house design cupboards are placed where things belong, like pantries, laundry, etc . It’s not rocket science

    So far it’s all smooth sailing with using my friend to help me with some business design stuff. It’s much easier explaining what you need to someone who already gets the way you think. They also seem really excited to be working together again, we made a good work duo in our past job. So fingers crossed it stays all positive.
