Thanks for asking Lee It was really hard but I got through it at least I'm kind of mortified that I got a case of the giggles though

Job applications. I've done one so far.
One of my most hated tasks, but needs must.

Thanks Percy. Really must move on to the next one on the shortlist.

My Good God. I've just been invited to an interview. What a miracle this job market is! But I don't know when I can get the car and I'm pretending I have the car. What the **** am I going to wear. OK, calm down. Must be calm.

OK, I've got an interview. I'm too fat for my officey clothes. Haven't had an interview interview in an age. Hm, have a few days to work something out. And morph into functional adult mode. Easier by email, but irl!?!

And continue with the applications! I'm quite motivated now! It usually feels like a black hole of doom and extreme boringness and feeling crap about how crap I am and annoyance that even if you get the best job on the list, what does it actually get you? And so on, and so on.

I think you'll do great, choirgirl. It definitely does help to know that companies are putting themselves out there more right now. Kind of empowers you! Good luck!

I've always been the same. I hope you get sorted.

I just had a call from my cardiologist, latest tests didn't show anything worrying. Why do they think that will stop me worrying?
I feel like a clapped out Cortina with an intermittent fault that nobody can find because it behaves perfectly on a test drive

Thanks SpectralOwls and Dougella. It definitely does empower you, but outfit problem has not been solved as yet and I couldn't face doing applications, too busy regretting the past.

Well, I've been browsing for therapists for my (barf, cringe) therapy. I think I'm going to have to phone a lot of people. When, though will I manage this, I wonder.

Cheers, Lee. Tuesday evening is good times - the majority of the day is going to be endless social hurdles.

If it gets to much Spudley, just think of biscuits & her friends furiously rocking on the floor trying to fart. That should alleviate you somewhat.

Making Stew. Got free ingredients from work! I'm using lobster mushrooms and chanterelle mushrooms in it, I'm so excited to see how it turns out.

Wiggling my toes about in bed for my cat to play with.

She’s disturbingly happy to pretend to kill me

Wondering if it's normal to get so stressed out about things, even once the problems resolved I still worry about it.

I wish I could switch my overthinking, stressed out self off.

I'm busy procrastinating about what to do with myself for the next few days (I have a few days off work)
An interesting person would probably have an itinerary planned with lots of different places to go but boring old me doesn't have a Scooby doo what to do.

Glad your secretive thing went well, spud!

Did one of your regularly delivery people, filthy rich Nanna called Gladys, take you on a cruise?

Cheers, peeps!

Lol, no, there isn't a Gladys, but if such an opportunity arose among the large flock of lady elders whom i tend to, then it'd certainly be a big ponder ... with a shitload of pros and cons
