Like, what an amazing display of everything.
Rain, hail, sunshine, wind, thunder & probably lightning too. Bit of every type of springtime weather.
So sincerely thankful for heating & shelter today. A lot of people aren't so lucky. Gotta remember that.

Absolutely sucks when you watch your kid struggle with a cold & it goes on for longer than usual.
So as he doesn't seem to be improving I'm gonna tap a doctor tomorrow so all bases are covered.
It's definitely not covid. I've tested him twice over the last week.

Just got this off EBay. A view scratches but we'll see how the vinyl plays. Banger of a soundtrack.
Australian music in 1984.
Not surprised but disappointed musical artists aren't referenced anywhere.

Took my son away for a weekend (thought he was starting to recover from his head cold).
Hurt my knee.
Forgot my meds.
Kiddo's cold hasn't improved.
Stayed in place 2 doors down from pub.
Had someone try to open door to hotel room 1st night around midnight.
Got home & kinda wish we hadn't gone away

My 10yo son has just finished the main storyline in Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment.
In 2 days.
It was good but....
We're both disappointed that it isn't longer. Or harder.
He'll go back and do the side quests but I'm very unhappy with the cost vs product.

I've decided to clear out 1 garden bed & plant some fragrant, low maintenance, bee-friendly plants.
The "clear out" is daunting due to all the weeds & grass in the bed. The roses I'm taking out may live or die - i don't care.
God I do not enjoy gardening anymore. This is all for appearance sake.

I drove this morning in the awful rain. Didn't have any driving incidents on the roads. People kept their distance and zero ragers. Perfect.
And then in a quiet off street car park a woman went through a Give Way sign and almost t-boned me. WTF?!

Damn... 190 kids so far this year.
I would say that trick or treating is now firmly embedded in the Australian culture. Like it or not.
Personally I love seeing groups of kids & parents mixing happily together in my local community outside of school. It's positive, simple & effective.

#Halloween today.
I decided to embrace my weed-ridden depression-based garden beds and just whack my decorations among the towering thistle fronds.
It's a vibe. I call it "sadness".

#Halloween is tomorrow for those people who recognize this in Australia.
I've half-arsed my house decorations & prepared 113 lolly bags.
Sincerely hope it doesn't rain or storm as forecasted.

I'm very grateful my kid's primary school is accepting of "off-brand" school clothing pieces.
As a person who grew up poor I appreciate this.
However I am NOT a fan of parents who bitch about a lack of uniform consistency in school photos. Reflects really badly on them.

Unexpected pain in my mid-to-lower guts this morning. Suspected digestion issue.
Would advise all folks to avoid this type of pain.
Ended up in tears in bed. Or pacing along my hallway, kneading my belly.
Upping my fiber. Just to be safe.
Better now but will monitor.

Mums are allowed to be annoyed at stuff. Kids included.
We are human. We react to the world around us and make mistakes too (oh no!).
The judgement that comes from being a Mum who is grumpy can F*CK right off.
I'm not a saint. I don't bottle (much). And I always try to be honest.

This is how old I am:
When I was 19yo my best friend took me to a computer lab at Deakin Uni Waurn Ponds to show me the chat feature on the PCs.
The lab was open all night and we're chatting anonymously with other Deakin students.
The year was 1993 & it was my first taste of the internet.
