Did a mad dash to the You Yangs. Weather was stunning, but I’ll be happy if I don’t see steps for while.

Pinched nerve in my elbow is playing up and my anxiety is through the roof.
( I'm ok, it's just my hand, I'm otherwise well, I've seen specialists about it, it's just natural to freak a little )
It's fair enough, nerve pain is no joke and we rely on hands so much
I've been having heart attacks in my head all day

Good win tonight @Duenan@aussie.zone.

I pick the Scorchers tomorrow. You've got the Strikers. Good luck!
Good luck to you too!
Hope the test match is on tomorrow as well.
Got an email just now from the landlord that they want to inspect the place this Saturday at 1pm, was really annoyed and bummed out that I'd need to turbo clean the place, then thought that didn't seem right and found out that it's a minimum 7 day notice. They are managing this solo after firing the REA (then bumping up the rent by 15% anyway), so I have to really be extra aware of my rights
e: started watching Silo for something to distract me from cramps. It's beautiful, but is the tv script written by a 14yo. It's so on the nose. Easy to watch though.
😭 Sorry to hear. -hugs-
Just felt like checking and yep.. definitely still borked
I've ordered a burger and onion rings to console myself
How are you feeling at the moment or overall?
I was surprised how badly it floored me when I got it for the first time a few months ago and I’ve had every shot as soon as it became available to me and it still did a number of me.
Burger and onions would make me feel better as well!
Feeling a lot better today. I'm pretty sure the fever is gone which is nice to not be drenching the bed in sweat!
I only had the mandatory vaccinations which I think maybe there were 3 or 4? Has been a while though.
Glad to hear you’re the mend. Suffering fatigue as well?
I hope you get better so you can enjoy your holiday!

Update on the tense family stuff.
Background: Bro and SIL tried to upend (bulldoze is putting it better) sleeping arrangements, got upset that it didn't go their way and left in a huff.
Result: Apparently that is now a major falling out. Surprised how upset they are.
oh well.
I fully support and agree wholeheartedly with everything the other respondents have already said, so can only say this: fucking good on you for standing up for yourself! So hard to do when it's family.
You did exactly the right thing, telling them to cut out the bullshit powerplays. I'll bet they thought you were a pushover, after all the wedding crap that you complied with. Now they know different and will just have to cope with the fact they did a wrong thing. Of course they are upset. The more wrong they are, the more upset they are. Classic narcissist behaviour.
Good stuff resisting and standing up to them.
They may be upset but do they recognise that what they did was unacceptable for you?
Or are too selfish and only thinking about themselves while being upset?
Out of curiosity did they leave to go home or to find another place to stay?
Some people just aren’t happy unless they’re getting their own way. It’s so frustrating. Sorry it’s ruining your holidays.
I thought Bridezilla behaviour was supposed to end after the wedding...
They're being childish. Tried to throw their weight around through some artificially inflated sense of importance and had a tantrum when it didn't work. Especially crappy behaviour if you were allowing them to stay with you, and after all the extra miles you went at short notice for the wedding. From your posts you do a lot for your family (it seems expected of you) and I don't think this pair appreciates it.
What children. Maybe this outburst is better than indefinitely simmering tension though.
Sounds like a cold water swim is what you need to shake off the tension and bad vibes
Very much doing a swim tonight heh.
Just a shame it ruined what was otherwise a nice family get together.
Hopefully this will open things up towards an ultimatum/resolution so future family get togethers will be a bit clearer and less manipulative...

Sooooo I think I broke my sleep. Not just normal "oh I'm nocturnal now" broken, I'm now in this strange routine where I sleep for 20 hours and then I stay up for 30
What's happened to me why am I broken
I want to hang a tyre swing or swing from a tree in the backyard, does anyone know what kind of knot and what kind of rope I should use to tie it to the limb?
Bless my neighbour. After all the rain we've had, he's watering his grass right now.
While I love our native birds, if these rainbow lorikeets don't stop waking me up i may just throw gumnuts at them. The noisy critters are feasting on the flowering gum outside my bedroom window and the noise is aaaargh! I'm on leave you fuckers and I'd really like to sleep in just a little bit.
When the rainbow lorikeets say it's time to wake up, it's time to wake up.
I'll send them to yours then!
We will be one big happy family
Well you must have done something, because they didn't arrive until 7am today!
