  • The hits keep on hitting. Told I have the diabeetus last week. This afternoon I get the call that my nan has passed away, so with my parents in America I’m handling things with my best British stiff upper lip and just now I finally sat down after having to call my mum and tell her that her mum has died then dealing with the paperwork, looked at my phone and it appears the reason I stopped hearing from the woman I was interested in persuing things with is that she might have taken her jerk ex back.

    Sprinkle in a couple of minor work annoyances like people ignoring things I say when I’m meant to be a voice of authority and I’m just having a grand old time. Yaaaay.




  • Coles/Woolies or whatever is cheapest bottled water vs Mount Franklin or any other fancy brand. The cheap ones are fine. I don’t even know if they still sell Evian here but Evian tastes weird. So does Nestlé’s one whatever that’s called. Obligatory Fuck Nestlé.

    Don’t come at me with “just drink tap water it’s great in Melbourne”… I do when I’m home… but I also go on road trips to places with less-than-amazing tap water and/or no chilled water.




  • Got the news this morning but haven’t brought myself to tell anybody yet so you’ll be the first. I did the glucose resistance test last week and it seems I have type 2 diabetes. I felt fine during and after the tests so I thought maybe I’d be ok but apparently not so much.

    It was almost inevitable, I think, considering dad and I are so similar and he has it. I’m still processing it though. I don’t think I have any of the symptoms of it but no doubt if I don’t start managing it they’ll start popping up. This is my first real health issue. Never broken a bone or had to go to hospital besides normal infant stuff. Not as invincible as I suspected.

    I live there and it’s fine? Green spaces. Community library/basketball/soccer/netball/whatever courts. Movies. Supermarkets. Shops. Quiet. Free PT to CBD. Not sure what you want to walk out onto the street to but this sounds like a reverberation of generic potentially outdated opinions about the place. I’d say the only thing it lacks these days are night spots. There’s 1 or 2 around but it’s not like it used to be with the clubs and pub on central pier.

    I am a huge Storm fan sooooo…

    Also the Broncos introduced wrestling into NRL not Storm. Storm just took it further and rules were brought in, then Storm adhered to them the same as any other team.

    I’d challenge you to look at the Storm in the last… let’s say 5 years… and say that Storm ‘cheat’. Every single team tries to push the limits to get an advantage within the rules. It sounds as if your opinions on us are outdated.



  • Got the results from my blood test today and suddenly a lot is starting to make sense AND there may be a way to turn things around for both my physical and mental health. Feeling optimistic. I got the medical cannabis (from online doc not doc doc, a while ago) to try and help with the sads but found it doesn’t really do anything of consequence for me so I have a bunch of weed that I’m not super interested in. Although, the indica does help with getting to sleep when I can’t get to sleep which is its purpose so that’s alright.

    Also though, apparently my sugar is a little high so they want me to do a 3 hour glucose resistance blood test thing to see if I have the diabeetus (like my Dad does). My levels are nowhere near the levels Dad gets though so we’ll see.
