Today is four years since my mum died. I spent most of the day reflecting on loss, especially in the past four years, and was overwhelmed with it all. I’ve begun pulling out of it, because I have to, I just can’t function and survive otherwise.

Basil … BASIL! Well, I feel like I’m stuck in a Fawlty Towers reality. We got up early today, because on Tuesday afternoon the Landlord texted us that ‘Pest Control’ was coming. The only ‘pest’ is the possum.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. (I got mixed up yesterday). The focus is on those who have been killed. There are far too many where their identity as a trans person was a major part of why someone decided that they deserved to be killed.

The predicted thunderstorms decided tomorrow would be better. A really pleasant 27°C day. We ate out for dinner, we rescheduled the grocery shop last week for Chris’ birthday celebration,

A lovely light breeze and 24°C sunny Spring day here today. I took Chris to his appointment with his One Door support person. I’d actually asked him to set it up. He needs a Financial Counsellor.

A sunny but very windy 18°C here today, so we stayed indoors. The annoying housemate has made himself very scarce, either out most of the time, or not even in the kitchen.

Today was relatively peaceful. Lovely 25°C weather, with a wind that took the edge off the heat. The housemate we had the run-in with was out much day as best as I can tell. Certainly not around at dinner time. Whatever the reason, it was more peaceful.

Not feeling too great here in the photo. I just lost my cool and yelled at a grown man. He visibly jumped, clearly not expecting full teacher voice at close quarters. Chris was with me, he spoke first, but the guy seemed to not comprehend.

The week started with the doctor telling me to exercise. Today my bestie came around and we went walking with her after a short drive to a lake.

Very warm today, it was up to 30°C on the highway, although more like 24 to 26°C most places we were. We had lunch out with Chris’ mum to celebrate his birthday, then afternoon tea at her place.

We had a good day today, lovely Spring weather (18°C) and we moved our grocery shopping to today because we’re out tomorrow. Why? It’s Chris’ birthday tomorrow - so old at 52!

Possums here are protected species, and to be fair, we humans built in their habitat. Also, they are cute and will woo you by showing off their babies. This was very likely a brushtail possum, but ringtails also live in the area.

A bit cooler today, and very windy. I stayed home and indoors, and it was a lovely quiet day. I posted this recent photo as a black and white, as I had a pyjama day.

A strange day today. I’m still processing it all. Lovely Spring weather, a comfortable 21°C. Chris and I went for a walk, about 15 minutes in the local park, just prior to dinner. I know it’s good for me, but I made a point of it because I was angry.

Cutesy game 🥰

Today went well. Cooler weather (17°C), and I slept in until 1pm. It was a good reset, I was in a terrible state yesterday. The housemates either were out of the place or out of my way today.

Feeling a lot better today - after working on it. I didn’t sleep much, and woke up early (to hear the clothes dryer go on at 6:41am … and the guy left it and went to work). I was a mess last night, both angry and teary. Tried playing a game.

This photo was taken in a hurry, hoping for at least a minute of peace. The loud and shit music is playing, and a charcoal bbq is happening just out of view. He couldn’t even stay put that long.

Grocery shopping day, and a lovely 23°C day to be out and about. My bestie knows it’s a challenge for me (we both don’t enjoy crowded areas), and I check-in about how I went.

The chicken corral.
It’s a mini-game where they let them out and you have to round them up 😂
It’s not easy. You only get one minute. They run everywhere 😂 Best I got was 7 out of 15.
The prize is eggs, which are handy for cooking.

Still a little cool today, although it got up to 18°C. I caught up on a lot of sleep, I think I’d finally let go of some stresses, at least for now. We had a fairly quiet day, although the Landlord showed up unannounced to mow the lawn.

Mostly a rest day today. It’s only 14°C and has been windy all day. I had a bit of lung congestion last night , and ended up coughing so much I have a sore throat.
