No pep at all today. Flat as a tack. Work. When I wasn’t bored about work stuff, I was slightly stressed or frustrated about it. Did a survey over the phone in the evening. Was dipping into reading about outed white supremacist people all through the day. Probably could have done less of that, to help my low mood. Re-watching the Operation Ore/Pete Townshend doc was the only bit of joy in the day. Snacks. M: 3. E: 3. L: 0. 😴😤💩😑

Work. Busy. The usual. Ehhhh. My gold chain arrived and is tight. NFC tags arrived. Mum got annoyed at me a couple of times. Doh. Got body shamed, or was that yesterday? Just snacked and worked a bit later into the evening. Ordered a pair of Nothing headphones. Not in the best mood. M: 3.5. E: 4. L: 0. 😐😰😓😑

Work. Sean dropped a bomb and resigned. Pretty huge news. Still haven’t processed it or worked out how well cope without him. Could be a clustermunch. Hmm. Also - had a sweat breakout on a zoom call - which I haven’t had for a while. Damn it!! Haha.

Tried to play the role of a ‘flying monkey’ in making sure that a local employer was aware of one of their workers being a neo-nazi, and that being covered in the local paper. He’s been stood down. I’ll keep an eye on it.

My Fagg’s Mitre 10 shirt arrived. Bless them for sending that. I love myself sick in it.

John Gruber followed me on Twitter. Now when I post about Apple stuff, there’s a chance of Gruber sharing my thoughts directly with senior Apple executives. That would be cool!

Some pretty depressing news out of Afghanistan. Fucking idiots.

Ehhhh. Market. Roasted protein for linner with mum. Couple chores. Listened to a tonne of the podcast Something Was Wrong. Pretty great. Bit crabby, and annoyed and annoying. Fresh sheets. Tried olive oil and salt on ice cream and balsamic vinegar on ice cream. Not good. Ehhhh.. M: 3. E: 3. L: 0. 😐😞😑

Walk. Bought a new book. Babysat nephew. Cooked, gardened, skated, made a song with him (Whatever You Want). Let nephew do the throttle while I dinked him on the Vespa - he was pretty psyched about that and the huge skid that we did. Cute. I didn’t eat well today. Feel crabby and bored. M: 4. E: 5. L: -10. 😐😆😑💩

Work. Boring and unproductive. Heard back from higher ups re my RAP working group email. My questions were acknowledged. Sore throat from doing my Dale Cunningham character voice. Might have to call the coronavirus hotline and ask “How ya doin, sugar. Listen now, an ad what came on in between my stories tonight says I’m to get a coronavirus test if’n I’ve a sore throat. But say my throat is only sore on account of doin voices - you reckon a man needs to get tested in that eventuality?” Pretty bloody bored and flat. M: 4. E: 3. L: -5. 😑😓😞😐

Well, the sun has moved back south (I think?) because it was shining on me in bed after sunrise this morning. Nice clear and sunny day. Realised after going to the vaccination centre and ranting about the rollout to a bunch of people that I’m getting too worked up about it and I have the luxury here in Regional Vic to step back and see if some Pfizer doesn’t just pop up sometime in the next month or so. Rather than repeatedly bumping up against assbackwards rules around who gets access to what isn’t as dangerous to people of their demographic, etc. Going to try to calm down about it a bit.

Work. Very busy. And I had to go and open my big mouth and send some uncomfortable questions to the Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group (AKA as, basically all the top brass who I’m not fit to shine the shoes of..). I’m glad that I sent the email but I bet it’ll lead to discomfort or some sort of weirdness. YOLO tho I guess. Walk. Vibed out a bit looking at the dewy grass and the river and that. Glory be to God. I’m due to listen to some Soul Search podcast eps and get in touch with my spiritual side again soon I think. Missed dinner due to snacking.

M: 6. E: 6. L: 0. 😐😓😑😇

Very boring day. Work. Same stuff. Sox sat up on the deck for a long visit today. Too stormy all day for the magpies to visit. I’ve got olives and blueberries ready to feed them. I bet I’ll forget they’re there and they’ll go bad before I remember to feed them to the magpies. I booked in for a vaccination shot today but cancelled. Fuck it. I want to wait for Pfizer. Why the hell shouldn’t I? The over-60s can use the fucking Astra. I spoke to a clinician on the coronavirus hotline about concerns and I have done probably as much research as any judgemental prick who thinks I’m being an anti-vaxxer or single-handedly slowing the race to 80% immunisation of the population by choosing to wait for Pfizer - so fuck em. Grateful that iPhones are pretty water resistant nowadays. Like being able to run them under the tap occasionally to blast the grime off. M: 4.5. E: 4. L: -3. 😐😑😓

Work. It’s really busy at the moment! I think everyone there hates me - wahh, wwaaahh!! Emailed Sophie’s mum to say Hi and that I always think of her and [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. She sent a really lovely reply. So glad I finally messaged. I saw them pretty much every week for over a decade so it feels so weird to just switch off and have nothing to do with them at all. That was really nice. Lots to think on from that.

Bought and used an enema kit and some moisturiser with sheep placenta in. Bath. Barbecued some protein. Dishes. Bed.

M: 6.5. E: 5. L: 0. 😇😓😟😐😆😍

Bought a gold necklace online late last night. I might invest in a chunkier and fancier one if this test-chain feels alright. God I was comfy in my clean linens and tightly-made bed and heavy blankets last night. Work. Hmm. I’m a bit behind and useless. Eek. Clocked Looking. Man that was good. Food for thought, some of it. Walked. Nice clear sky this evening. Bit of overtime. M: 4.5. E: 5. L: 0. 😐😇😓
