Forgot my meds this morning, wrong day to choose to walk to work (though the walk is actually quite nice). Had to use work car to duck home at 11 and take the meds because I was not coping. Rest of day has been utter shite. Am phenomenally tired and getting grumpy and resentful and feeling unappreciated. Reaching end of tether. Everything looks bad right now especially the huge pile of dishes that makes me want to cry.

I will put on some music, do the dishes, boil some pasta, chop up the asparagus and zucchini and garlic and an onion, make a pasta dish and call it a night. Then ignore everything else. I can do it.

E: I did it. Limping towards 9:30pm but I made a big dish of pasta (decided to flavour it with some Szechuan peppers for a change!) enough for tonight and two lunches. Washed up all those dishes as well. I think when my pay comes through I'll be looking up bench top dishwashers in earnest

gees, so many hugs,

maybe eat premade food for a week until you are rested, no shame in that ๐Ÿ˜˜

I already did that the last two weeks, the fact that I had no time to work extra hours in my previous fortnight's pay and had to buy a new phone plus that stupid $200 fine means I can't afford a 3rd week of it. I'm currently living off my returned bond from the previous place until I get paid Friday. Won't be rested until a few days after Xmas!
