I’m so glad that the Darwin International Laksa Festival led me to try out a cafe I’ve walked past before. This was sensational!
I see this a lot with my mum’s life- she has started doing more things outside of working constantly. Joined a book club, signed up for singing lessons, and even did a dancing class for a little bit. Her old hobby was just watching The Big Bang reruns. But so many years have (and continue) to be wasted in a loveless marriage
a lot of days have just felt like the day before, every week goes by quickly, but nothing really happens either. each day is a single grain of sand passing through the hourglass of my life
This week was quite stressful at work, because we were exceptionally short staffed but I managed to do everything at work however I would come home, try and do uni stuff and not even manage to stay focused for an hour. I was so deficient on sleep, but the last two nights I have just focused on sleeping and I feel better.
>calls my mum
me: what are you up to?
mum: im at coles. you know her wedding is tomorrow

mum: <girl I used to be friends with in uni and our mum’s were also friends but for some reason now no one is friends>
me: uh okay. why are you at coles at 9pm?
mum: im buying superglue, my glasses broke

being away from everyone I love so I log onto socmed 🤝 socmed making me feel more lonely than before
idk how to do this meme format correctly, but my mum’s busy, my bf’s out with friends, and the friend I talk to the most is in Spain
I have spent a large part of my night watching FB videos and it annoys me that they’re so easy to get stuck into
I do uni part-time and work full-time. The trimester has started up again. The reading list for week 2 of my courses- five textbook chapters, 1 hour long video, and a 20 page article. Yeah, no. If you can’t explain concepts properly and need this much stuff as ‘required reading’ (for week 2) then that’s a failure on the lecturer
I did think about staying back and finishing off administrative tasks but there is a massive storm heading this way and I’d much rather be at home, which is where I am ☺️
We are quite short staffed today but I managed to leave on time and also give a presentation to two other sites (something I’ve been anxious about for the last week). time to lie down forever, a way to celebrate success
