@matigo I’m booked in for 1st Sept at a local vaccination centre nearby.
Got my invite for my first jab today. I’ll take anything to stop the spread of this awful thing. Especially with this outbreak in Brisbane right now. I’m grateful to be working from home full time at the moment but still, I’m limiting my movement out in the world.
Wow! This place has changed …. a lot. Nice work on the updates @matigo!!
I guess that’ll teach me for not being around a while… but there’s a lot to catch up on.
So I’ve almost hit my 6 month milestone at the day job. Officially being off probation feels pretty good. We got through end of financial year mostly unscathed. Things are starting to settle down a bit which is nice. Just means I can relax a bit more.
My social circle is increasing a little bit too. I met someone online a few months ago and we’ve been spending a fair bit of time together. It’s been nice so far.
So I haven’t forgotten about you all but life just got in the way a bit, as it often does. But I’m hoping I’ll be around even just a little bit more.
@hazardwarning I’ve been meaning to answer this for a little while but I needed a break from everything. I’m very lucky to be where I am right now. Things could’ve been very different if I have done anything seriously bad to harm myself. I won’t share anything bad here as I feel like that will open old wounds. But I feel like I’m finally at a place where I have purpose. I’m working for a place that genuinely cares about how I feel. My family life is far better and I may have a new relationship on the horizon but I’m taking things slow.
@sumudu I second that. Sending hugs from here. Hope Nozomi gets through this and recovers quickly.

@sumudu Indeed. It’s been a while for sure. Got through last week fairly unscathed. Had an anxious episode last night.
Hey all. Haven’t been here for a while for the very simple reason that it’s been quite busy at work over the last few weeks. Just when you hit one milestone all the others seem to come up just as quick. No time to breathe.
I’m trying to take time out for me where I can but even that can be hard when all you can think about what needs to be done next, whether it’s work life or home life.
This week will be particularly hard for me, as it’s a time of year that certain trauma points from my past come back to haunt me. Thursday marks 2 years since I had my breakdown, and while I’ve come out of it a stronger person it’s hard to forget what it was like back then. Then there’s Friday, a birthday of a very dear friend who is no longer here due to a senseless act.
I don’t know how I’ll get through this week.
@sumudu I can't even remember the last time I got drunk. But knowing the effects alcohol has on me now versus years ago, there's not a chance I would drink enough to even consider having a hangover the next day.

@matigo Oh me too. I can easily start at stupid o'clock in the morning and finish at stupid o'clock at night. The advantage of that though is having time in lieu you can use when you need it.
