I have felt a bit like crap for almost no reason since last night. I feel irritated and like I want to bite everyone around me’s head off. I think it might be a combination of my time of the month, the heat (it’s feeling more like summer), and frustration with job searching/ thinking about post vaccination life. I don’t want to feel in a rage but I can’t seem to completely get rid of the feeling. I have kind of kept to myself at home because I feel like almost everything is going to make my head explode and I don’t want to have that reaction. Does anyone else ever feel like this? I really want to be able to relax my brain and stay positive but it’s hard. Edit: I feel slightly better now, I calmed down in my room and found more jobs to apply for😊 I still feel slightly off but I am a little bit more relaxed.

Warning: Existential/death discussion to follow. I only really keep in contact with one person from my high school. It's my sister's tenth anniversary since she left high school this year (grade 10 here in Tasmania). This got me thinking about my peer group from high school (most of whom I haven't seen in eight years), so I thought I'd trawl through some people's Facebook pages. I do this every year or two just to see what people are up to/how they're lives are going. Found out that one of us died a month ago. I really didn't know the guy at all, but I've got very strange emotions about it. He was only 23 and died in a car crash (I don't think alcohol was involved and I don't think it was intentional). It might sound dumb or cliched, but we're all so young. It's so hard to think that when we have our tenth anniversary gathering in a couple of years that he won't be there. He'd married his high school sweetheart too, who I knew a little better (but not much) and she's obviously devastated. Like I say, I didn't really know them. Just knowing he's not still out there though... I've been so fortunate in my life that at 23 I've not really experienced death. I guess for the first time I'm confronting the fact that it really could happen at any time. Yeah... death sucks. I hear ya. On our last day of highschool way back in 1992 we found out a classmate was killed in a motorbike accident.. Fast forward to now, there is 3 that have been grandparents for a few years, 1 has an adult child who is currently battling the dreaded "C", about 30 children born between our school year, a couple have been widowed and about 1/2 a dozen divorced. 2 have had heart attack/strokes..1 became literally "Public Enemy #1" with the police and other "motorcycle enthusuiasts" by being all over the tv and newspapers (Think Sons Of Anarchy lifestyle).
That's why I try to keep in contact/semi contact with as many ppl as I can even if it's a simple facebook msg of "hello" how are you going?
Life happens when you are busy planning.

For weeks, I had been feeling dizzy and "under the weather" and because of that, I had been irritable and grumpy. I went to several doctors and had my blood pressure, heart and circulation as well as my ears checked out. Today I followed the advice from a colleague and went to a famous chiropactor working in the rehab clinic up the hill of my village. He is a supposed wonder healer and before COVID hit, there were always dozens of older folks sitting in the beer garden of the village restaurant telling the feats of the guy. Well, I went there, and one of my neck vertebrae was out. It took him 30 secs to put it back in. Oh wow. I can turn my head again. And a large part of my dizziness is gone. If I continue to have issues, I was told to come back for further re-alignment. But I can feel a definite improvement at least!

Normally, obituaries are gloomy things, but I was amused to see a twenty-five year-old copy of ITN's report on the death of Jon Pertwee was prsented by a journalist named.... Colin Baker!

NY State ended it's mask mandate. Businesses can still require customers to mask up or show proof of vaccination, but it is no longer mandated. And The NY State Renaissance Festival in August is officially a go! Woo! I go with my kids every year, and just because their grown now doesn't mean we didn't miss it last year. So happy! And LI Who is on in November as well! Woo Woo!!

Three tickets to a recording of 'The Goes Wrong Show' next Wednesday? Don't mind if I do Sadly, we got turned away (groups of four were, of course, the priority), so my evening started off on a pretty melancholic note... On our way home (a two-odd hour round trip) my father dropped the friend I invited along and I off at one of our local cinemas, which opened up today, to see 'My New York Year' (apparently originally known as 'My Salinger Year' in some territories), which certainly did help perk me back up somewhat. At the moment I'm starting to wind-down over the third three-part 'Chicago' crossover and, whilst I'm not going to say that I'm (quite) enjoying it as much as I did the second, it's it's an enjoyable way to start ending an evening....

Had an offer on our dream house accepted today. It’s far from finalised yet, and it’ll be another 3-4 months before we move in at least, but I’m chuffed. It’ll be our first home and the offer has been in for four weeks whilst the vendor deliberated, so I’m happy we’re making progress.
And from a selfish point of view, it’ll be nice to finally get the collection collated and a dedicated media room / office set up!

Had a conversation with someone at my work- external guest was brought in. He has a PHD in "Ethnic Studies" plus a few other University degrees along the way. He was an immigrant to Australia about 75 years ago, copped some horrible racism growing up- dedicated his life to the pursuit of "Ethnic Equality" which is very commendable. He has an OAM as well just to make him even more impressive en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_AustraliaI had a nice quick chat about my ethnic background and the issues my older family had when they moved to Australia, technically I am 1st generation Aussie born, all our parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles etc were born overseas. What an uplifting speech he gave.

Today's been a bit of a rollercoaster. I had a 3,000 word essay due this afternoon which I've been working on for the last couple of weeks. I'd done everything except the footnote formatting today, so I was feeling pretty confident about everything. Then, just after doing the footnote formatting, I double checked the word count on the assignment to discover I'd gone from around 3,100 to 1,850... I hadn't unchecked the "count footnote" box in Word's word count function. I was at least 850 words short! Cue the last couple of hours desperately trying to pad the stupid thing out to 2,700 (the +/-10% limit). I didn't have enough time to properly research anything new to add to it, so I picked one of my sources and just added some detail from it, then padded and padded and padded the word count... You know things are bad when you're actively searching for contractions to break up. Despite everything, I've just managed to push myself over the finish line with less than an hour until it's due. I think I'm going to spend the rest of the day in a state of mental exhaustion

Well, it's official. I've discovered I've been selected for a Writing Residency. What that means is that for the next two months, I'll have a dedicated space as part of a private organisation, where I can write out my novel. For as many days a week I can manage it. They love the idea, are willing to go for it and I'm already getting stuck into it. I've also got a contract renewed for work I've done for an author. They were very happy with the results and would like me to continue going forward. Today was also a day where the boss got a few moments free to sit down and take us all out for afternoon tea. As a thanks for all the work we've done over the past couple years. It gave me the opportunity to praise my team to the rafters as everyone else was being praised. I was delighted.
It was a good day.
