Christmas huh. A friend lost their son in a tragic accident. One grandkid with covid. Cyclone's mum's house hit by lightning. No power. Lost all her food in the freezer. Energex don't know when they'll get to her cos they're fixing whole blocks while she's just one house 😑

Another hit and run. This time the grandkids and their mum in Ranga's car. Not much damage and no serious injuries but a lovely witness called 000 immediately to report the rego. Police found the driver.
I'd really like a break from drama for the rest of 2023

Imagine criticising a disabled person who discusses the struggle of being chronically ill without access to bulk billing GPs amd comparing that to your "need" to see a naturopath.

Mullet Boy owes me money so we have decided to sell his old car.
CHS is not happy about this and said "What am I supposed to do? I go back to work this week."
Sorry but that's not my problem. I am very satisfied by the fact I've caused an inconvenience in his life right now 😁

Don't know how but I raised a damn good kid. Despite his own money struggles at the moment he's still putting others first. His neighbour lost his job after his mum died a few weeks ago & he's struggling with rent and bills. Mullet Boy bought him some groceries when he noticed the fridge was bare ❤️

I discovered an infiltrator last night. Those non disabled people who get onto every reference group and board they can find claiming they're a disability ally cos they jave that one disabled friend. He thought he could silence me but he was so mistaken. So very very mistaken

The impact of barriers to access and inclusion for people with disability is bigger than I think many people realise.
These barriers are often created by people. They are unaware that I exist in my community. We call this the Attitudinal Barrier

It took all of 10 minutes for my kids to remember they can call me via WiFi despite optus being down so I'm going out 😆

Ranga tracked down someone not with Optus on the job site to hotspot from them so he could message me about optus being down and let me know to call his boss if I need him cos there was that one time I passed out in the hydrotherapy pool and it's Wednesday.
I think my kids are a bit traumatised

A local woman has taken ownership of our community library. She calls herself the librarian. Every time I put up a community notice she removes it.
Now she's started messaging me to tell me about new owners in the neighbourhood & I don't know why that is any of my business. She makes me hate people

Mullet Boy has been in a hit and run this morning. HE IS OK. A bit banged up. Haven't seen the car yet. And I just realised in all the drama we had last month with my nephew's murder and funerals and flights I forgot to finalise his insurance 😢

Poor Mullet Boy is desperately looking for a rental. Living with #CreakheadSteve has become so unbearable he thinks 25yrs of accommodation with 3 meals a day seems reasonable.
I've realised just how terribly hard this housing crisis is for those living with domestic and family violence
