If I had some opiate painkillers, I'd be extraordinarily happy. 🥳

I slept so terribly and I don't want to go walkies today 🙁 but I will have to or the dogs will be annoying while I'm on zoom ministry again. They think the voices mean someone is at the front door.

I have a renewed appreciation for my home now after the clusterfrack of yesterdays city trip.
The main street on a Saturday morning and not a soul in sight. Very relaxing pace of life that I am too used to now to change.

I'm accompanying my sister to an auto place to have her truck towed home. She's a pain in the ass and really annoying but she offered me $60. Problem is, if I spend more than an hour with her, we always end up arguing about something. Hopefully, things will be relatively peaceful.

Update: She gave me the WRONG address so we missed the tow truck. And now she's discussing leaving her truck here to be repaired. I'm a bit annoyed. She's flirting with the mechanic right now. 🙄

I have become more worried about my future with a humanities degree. I don't come from a family with money and I hear a lot of people with humanities degrees are unemployed or underemployed. Even more so for neurodivergent people like myself. I have never had a boyfriend, so I might never get married or have a household with two incomes. My friendships tend to be fleeting and surface level so in dire situations I don't think I would be able to depend on them. I hope to pursue a masters but with the cost of living and property getting more expensive to even rent I am very worried I won't be able to afford to live alone.

What profession do you plan to pursue with a humanities degree? And when you answer that question it usually explains why so many are un/underemployed.

Second to last assignment for first year due Monday. It's gone by so fast.

Is there a job counselor or the like at your school that you could discuss some of this with? They might be able to suggest some more lucrative career options with your degree, or some alterations to your degree path, like perhaps taking a few classes in a different field while sticking with your major.

I have not done much today, feel a bit stuck cos there is plenty to do but I'm just not getting up haha.

Harmony ate something rancid on walkies. I turned around to close the gate and she was under the magpie tree trying to steal their loot. I told her to leave it or she'll get sick. We got up to the grass behind the shire office and she threw up three times. I carried her home and the poor magpie was under the tree looking for the meat she stole.

I cooked some chicken and rice for her and she is SPITTING out the rice! At least shes kept her lunch down. Such skill to spit out the rice and only the rice! I shredded the chicken all through it! I'm just glad she seems ok now. Dont wana pay for a vet on a Sunday!

Everyone is napping now.

Fantastic….for the most part. 😅

I had a wonderful date with someone last night. Haven’t had one for a long long time…just haven’t really been interested in trying. But, here we are now. 😌

Additionally, my nicotine cravings are gone and I couldn’t be happier. I vaped 20+ times a day before for months, starting with 10 mg and eventually working my way up to 50. For the uninitiated, your average cigarette has 10 mg of nicotine. So by the end I was doing the equivalent of about 100 cigarettes in a single day. I kind of decided it would be a great idea to stop and so over a week ago, I did. 🙂 And now, not too long after, it’s out of my system entirely. Works out too, now that I have a um….girlfriend ._. ….who I probably need to be healthy for.

On the flip side, I’ve somehow managed to get sick 😩😭. Throat is all scratchy and the like. It wasn’t her, since she seemed to be just fine. Could just be weather. In any case, I see a lot of tea and coffee in my future 🤧

Back at uni tomorrow only for an hour and thirty minutes class though.

Just take a deep breath 🙂

As far as worrying about the future, you have to live in the now. If you have a solid plan for what you want to do with your degree, then stick with it! If not, then you have time to think about that and evaluate it. Unemployment hits many jobs. Just recently we’ve seen a massive amount of layoffs in even the tech industry due to over hiring during the pandemic. The key is to stay true to what you want for yourself and not to let others or their experiences sway you. It’s your life, so live it for yourself!

You don’t need a spouse or family to properly survive. I live alone and have done so for several years at this point. It’s entirely doable! It’s all just about money management.

Things will happen as they are meant to when they are meant to. That’s why it’s best not to live in tomorrow and instead live in the now. Just take it one day at a time, Tams! You’ve got this 🙂

My ears have been itching lately, finally got around to booking a doctors appointment this morning, so I'll hopefully get it sorted out on Wednesday.

Surprise surprise, I got sunburnt again. I dont wana go walkies tomorrow already. Gona sleep with the air con on tonight. There is only one other night that I havent turned it off after a couple hours. I think its best just to leave it on low tonight so the house just doesn't get the chance to heat up at all. Feels like I am in a resort since I washed all the bedding in a new laundry liquid and sundried it.

My bible teacher is so sweet, she knows that I get bad PTSD when men are in my space. So she's offered to be here when I get my mattress delivered later in the week. I feel much safer now that I have my dogs, but it would still be nice to have moral support when two stinky ball bodies enter my bedroom.

When I got home there was a girl slumped on the concrete crying outside of the ambo station. I walked up there to see of she was ok. She was fine physically but was very upset because she had a fight with her mum. The age difference has never hit so hard haha. Poor thing, she told me she was 23 but uni had been interrupted by COVID-19 and she never got back into the swing of life. No job, no license, no hope. I just sat with her listening until her sister came to find her with a nice cold bottle of vodka. I hope shes ok. Its really tough for her ages group especially out here.

My day has been good and chilled. Just waiting for the girls to turn up for birthday curry and cake 😀
