    Had another blood test yesterday, and this time it bruised nastily. Gave myself the shakes yesterday when I took the cotton thing off lol. Had to get partner to put a bandaid on it for me lol 😂

    Animals I can deal with, but myself? Nah, nope, no way, no bueno

      Lol, feel you there. I’m a nurse. Working in the community no less, which is the worst of the worst. Can deal with pretty much anything related to someone else. When its me? Hell no. Can barely remove a bandaid!

        It actually lifted really quickly (like by 9am), but then just a couple of kms up the road it was still soup at 10am!

    Sales rep flies over from another state and comes into the office this morning “oh, hi Spin! I’d give you a hug, but I’m feeling a little under the weather”, it took me all in me to just go “uh, sure” and not scream “DID WE LEARN NOTHING FROM COVID?!” Then I remembered that she’s from regional WA and probably didn’t.

      Have a mate living in Perth (moved there from here a couple of years back). Heaps of people there are convinced our lockdowns had military in the streets enforcing the rule of the law.

        I think my internet at home is blocking some Microsoft stuff. I can’t get on to Google analytics because my internet won’t let me, seems like Microsoft is part of that too. I think it’s cool my internet is doing that but I don’t know what’s blocking it

            Look at him. Look at his big dumb kitten face. If you smoosh him there’s baby fat everywhere. He can’t turn a corner at speed yet without wildly losing control of his rear end and barrel rolling down the hallway.

            fucker is 3 foot long and nearly five kilos. HE’S NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD YET
