    Was meant to catch up with a friend at 3. Last night she changed it to 3:30 because a new update for a game she’s playing is out. Whatever, that’s fine. I tell her to text me when she’s leaving so I can leave then. She’s fine with that.

    I decided to leave earlier and get there at 3:30, because I have a jazz playlist I want to listen to. But it hits 3:30, and she still hasn’t texted me saying she’s left. She sends me a picture of her game asking which option I liked more. I asked her if she’s left and she said no. She does live a 5 minute drive away from where we’re meeting, so I guess that’s not too bad. She is apologising profusely. Now it’s been 15 minutes since we were supposed to meet, and she said she has to brush her teeth and wash her face. She is nocturnal because of her (undiagnosed but probable) gaming addiction.

    Am I overreacting? I am pissed off even though she’s going to be 20 minutes late, but it wasn’t because of something like traffic or PTV issues. She could control it. Last week she also pissed me off because she’s unemployed and using her dad’s money. She said, when buying food,

    “It’s not my money. I don’t care.”

    I need new friends. I downloaded Bumble for Friends today. Hoping I can get a group of people together and make at least one friend from there. I need friends that don’t trauma dump on me or are selfish.

    Muting people on my Insta excessively posting about being in Europe. I’m happy for them and all, and yes I’m jealous, but I don’t need to see daily stories & every-other-day profile posts about your trip.

    Getting my daughters room painted tomorrow. Any advice on what to use to hang pictures, etc on the wall? I want to avoid using blue tack or anything that could pull paint like it has this time around?

    Someone used just about all of my butter in the work fridge! I’m probably more annoyed that they left the tiniest little scrape in the corner instead of just throwing it out the container.

    Got the details for the funeral for my old colleague. I’m going to go, even though I haven’t spoken to him in years and years, since before COVID even. He made working at Computershare tolerable - guaranteed to make me cry-laugh with the jokes and witty comebacks he had for the micro-managers there😂 taught me how to handle those managers when I took over his role.

    It’s the least I can do I think, pay my respects and remember how he made me laugh so hard.

    There is a package waiting for me at my front door. Now I just have to wait 9 hours until I can go home to get it!

    Edit: now there are two packages!! What an exciting day.

    I need to liven this place up a bit.

    What would be the worst gift someone could give you?

    Me: Tickets to a musical.

    Wake up early and refreshed, get dressed, drive to the train station…bus replacement service.

    So back at home in trackies and debating whether to chuck a sickie.

      I thought the house might blow away at some points. There was definitely a lot of rattling coming from everywhere.

      The morning dog walk was quite short this morning. I’m not sure if all the wind brings extra smells for Mr Woof or if it blows them all away, but he seems fairly unperturbed by the wind. Maybe because he’s low to the ground it doesn’t hit him as much. It does give him a very streamlined look instead of his normally fluffy cloud appearance.

    I know how to describe what’s happening.

    My life feels neglected while I was taking suboxone. Now I’m awake and it’s like “where is everything?”.

    It hurts a bit.

      deep thoughts for 7am which may or may not be relevant

      Maybe what you’re feeling is grief for the time spent on suboxone - grief for the wasted time. But taking it may well have been a higher priority at the time, and so should not be regretted in the overall scheme of things. Feel the grief, and move on. This takes courage, which you have in plenty.

      EDIT: Like a broken leg: you go to hospital and a plaster cast is put on, then when the bone has healed the cast comes off and your leg is shrunken and muscle wasted, so you do physio to get back function in the leg. Then you can put away the crutches and walk forward freely. In this analogy, the cast was was suboxone, the grief is the physio. Eventually you’ll walk forward freely. The physio is not wasted - it’s a necessary step in healing.

        Thank you ❤️

        It makes sense and the analogy is accurate. There is a panic to make up for lost time as quickly as possible.

        Which can’t be done, which then turns into frustration and sadness.

        You’ve given me a lot to think about, thank you :)

    I had too much coffee… several hours of indigestion and burping later, I’m still wired and tired, deep in rabbit holes over what constitutes an employee vs independent contractor for the purposes of superannuation guarantee… and how to word contracts so as not to hand over IP or be stuck in exclusivity classes…
