I feel a great energy motivating me to look at some university/university level courses. 😊 To do social things. To start up all the projects I have planned.
But I need to rest and get my grounding first. I haven't even unpacked and I still have to look after stressed out Bill
I reckon you'd enjoy uni, you have a great mind for it imo I'm so excited for you to try all the things!
But yes, definitely take some time for yourself before committing to anything; one thing I noticed when I got free is when I'd try to do too much I'd crash so hard, and I didn't know why. I'd bawl my eyes out scream crying for no real reason (now I know I was triggered and hadn't been diagnosed with anything but depression at that time). It can come whenever, wherever, so pace yourself. But you also know yourself better than I do, so do what you feel will help your healing the most :)
So take time to rest, ground yourself, self-care, and treat yourself to something you consider decadent or fancy. You deserve it after pulling out this Great Escape!
Ive a friend I'm pretty sure is older than you working in palliative care support work. Being kind to people in their last days. It's rough and rewarding work. But mostly she's older than you, did certs, got work.
Welcome to CORIANDER WORLD where all your dreams either come true or if genetically deficient taste like soap.
Think I'm going to let that go to seed. Basically a lifetime supply. Was only expecting a few to make it but here we are. Seems like people put the leaves in oil and freeze it so might give that a go too.
I'm a bit jealous, I've never had much success with corriander. I am looking forward to when I have a permanent garden and can spend some time finding a spot it likes so I can leave it to self seed.
I often do the leaves in oil and freeze in an ice cube tray, it works well.
Make pesto! This can use up massive quantities of coriander, plus the regular parmesan and olive oil & pine nuts. But it shelf stable so does not need to be frozen if carefully bottled and kept in a cool dark place. More intense flavour than a basil pesto.
These are photos for places on Google Maps. My most viewed has 63,335 views, which really makes me question why I'm getting emails congratulating me on photos that have only reached 5!
Here's a screenshot of my ride to work this morning, just a low res preview from the DJI app.

The thing that gets me looking back on these videos is how quiet the video is. There's a bit of road noise from the bike but that's all. Most of the noise is from cars, and in quiet areas you can hear the birds.
The wide angle lense also makes any median strip of grass between the footpath and the road look like I'm far away from traffic. It makes any boring part of suburbia look like one cycling utopia
I think I'd like it of conversations with my manager were more him saying "I'm being asked questions about this/this is what the business is trying to achieve/this is what I need (or want) for an upcoming thing."
Sort of like just teaching to the test. Who cares about all the "strategy" and "planning" stuff. Just let me know how I can help you look good so I can look good

Tired. Wrecked even.
I miss Ted's stupid little purr/meow in the mornings
Love you all, thank you all so much support
I'm going to bed again for some more sleep
Lots more rest of you, dear Seagoon!
Usually I work 8.30 to 2.30, today it's until 4pm.
Gimme gimme gimme all of the money 🤑
How'd you get a gif of me from the future? 😂
I dropped a new toilet roll into the toilet before I flushed. Summarises how my week has been.
😐
I have 1 kg of prawns to peel. YL freaks out over the eyes. I threaten to leave them on her pillow. It's all in fun.
Oh god I'd smash a kilo of prawns right now, it's been ages!
I'm guessing whoever downvoted you on this is new here.
I don't care. I didn't even mention the puppet show I put on with added cute voices.
LOL , I'm picturing the show, like Shape of Water but with prawns
It's like "I don't like YOUR beady little eyes. How many of my friends you gonna eat?"
as many as I can 🤤
Oh yeah. She doesn't have a problem eating them. 😂
Angry vegan lurkers prolly.
Lamb chops. Lamb roast. Lamb leg. Slow cooked delicious baby lamb shoulder. Lamb. Lamb. Lamb.
I don't think it's that. I think they think I terrorise my daughter. She freaks out but still laughs about it.
I'm fairly vegan but I'm not angry nor do I lurk.
I like them, I tested as mildly allergic 😢
Wouldn't surprise me if you found that after a while that your allergies reduced a bit in intensity due to removal of stress.

Thank you. 😊
I love uni and studying.
I wanna do some classical archeology, I have a clinical psych unit I want to do, art work courses, some writing courses
I also need to get some certs for work but I'm old and don't even know if it's worth it. Will talk to a career recruiter to see what people want

I was thinking a care support volunteer for veterans with ptsd
maybe I can work in the field instead?
I've got a few subjects left in my support worker course (NDIS/Aged) if you want to discuss it at all.

Likewise, I'm rubbish at coriander and basil. Many different houses and situations, just nope.
Love love love coriander ❤️
looks delicious
I use so much in cooking , in curries, in chutney, make kofte

ooh thank you I am looking at recipes as we speak :)
I just received an exciting message from Google:
"Your photos just reached a new milestone. They've now been reacted to over 5 times"
Five whole reactions, can I call myself an influencer now?
my best is 54,000 on a cat sub

struggling with all the sads for no good reason except waves hands around. put washing on...then work out what's next.
So many hugs
and just keep doing things, even if it's just a little thing,
We're lacking sunshine. Tomorrow will be a lovely day. Hold on until then.❤️
Agree on the sunshine. The chills are getting me down.
One time my housemate spooked me and it literally scared the melancholia away and I was fine
I continue wheezing and hacking up phlegm.
I'm this close to pulling out of house-hunting this weekend
It does sound like you'd benefit for some rest unless you feel it in your waters that there's a real gem this weekend.
rest get some steam

I love how quiet the DJI makes riding sound... except when you can hear my heavy breathing as I'm going up the slightest incline 😆
I'm using wireless mics in stereo. I put them on my helmet straps near my ears so you can hear it even more
Tonight's wave:
Stunning 💙
That's beautiful 😊
Glad I'm not catching one of the talking trams this morning. Vale Richard.

Ugh. Don't wanna.
My little aliexpress weather display was saying thunderstorms tomorrow, but the BOM says everything is fine. Where is it getting its weather from?
If you didn't set internet up on it, it calculates from barometric pressure
It needs internet, I set that all up but it pulls from some weird website that isn't BOM, not sure where the source website gets its data from though
They might use the Norwegian Meteorological Institute., that's got a pretty open slather API, Home Assistant uses it
