Feeling a bit suffocated under myself. I'm sleeping too late, spending way too much time on my phone and am struggling to vocalise what I need. Left work early because I realised I was just walking in circles and getting frustrated.

Yesterday was really tough.
Melbcat was quite uncomfortable still, crying and fussing, and needed an extra top up even with solid pain management. Really hoping her antibiotics kick in and offer some relief. I understand antibiotic stewardship but still wish she hadn’t been made to wait so long for treatment. (I was advocating the whole time and kept bringing her back because she wasn’t improving until they finally agreed.)
I spent most of the day sleeping outside of dispensing and picking up more meds because I have an infection too, plus really struggling in other ways.
There are some older people in my team that don't quite understand how a QR code works. They say 'this poster needs a QR code on it.' so you ask, 'where do you want it to go?' and they kind of get lost. Same with the concept you need to build the destination for a QR code before you just put one somewhere.

QR codes are a massive attack platform. Seriously man.
4
tombruzzo - 2mon
I get it, a sticker of another QR code over the top of another one can take you to a number of fun places. Not ideal but these are going on some farm equipment to access the maintenance manual so they won't be super public once bought

What's your favourite final form of potato for devouring? Roasted? Fried? Mashed? Baked?

Hmm. What's at the bottom of the pile then?!
5
CEOofmyhouse56 - 2mon
Honestly there's not one that I prefer over the others.
I can tell you I prefer using Spud Lite over all the other potatoes. That's about it.
Microwaved duh. With Heinz baked beans, sriracha, butter, and cheese

It's a toss up between roasted in duck or bacon fat, and mashed with garlic or spring onions. Really couldn't pick between these two formats. Chips don't speak to me in quite the same language.
5
SpinMeRound - 2mon
Huge fan of mash with garlic, really don't eat that enough!
4
Seagoon_ - 2mon
I love mashed on top of shepards pie,
I make mine with fine chopped parsley, lots of butter, pepper and milk, grated cheese and paprika on top, baked til crispy
4
CEOofmyhouse56 - 2mon
Load mashed potato is really good too. Add bacon, spring onion, garlic and cheese. Mix it all up and lay it flat in a shallow dish and add more cheese on top and bake. Yum.
5
SaneMartigan - 2mon
I used to make that for an ex's period complications. It was her comfort food.

In what form? And with what condiments? Do you like spiral potato sticks as well?

Did this in a bracket night. Hot chips won.
Roasted wins in my books. Scalloped potatoes I don't like
4
SpinMeRound - 2mon
I almost feel like hot chips is still too versatile. French fries? Fat cut? Beer battered? Skin on? Chicken salt? Condiments?
5
LowExperience2368 - 2mon
I think just the usual sort of hot chips that come from some sort of event. Like the really salty thick cut chips

Catfish - 2mon
Baked, stuffed ala my Winnie the Pooh cookbook (this means bacon, cheddar, and some form of allium)
4
SpinMeRound - 2mon
Oh yes that's an excellent choice! What other kind of recipes were in this book? I loved Winnie the Pooh growing up and dang near cried meeting Tigger at Disneyland.

Catfish - 2mon
Toad in the hole; raisin bread for eating with honey, Cottleston pie.
It's very British, and aimed for under 10s so pretty basic but fun
4
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
Air fried waffle fries. Unbeatable.

SpinMeRound - 2mon
Condiment of choice?

Found out Melbcat only got a little over a weeks worth of antibiotics so I managed to get the vet to bump it up to 3 weeks (against manufacturers advice). I hope that’s long enough that it does something. I’m getting her checked as soon as she finishes them to see if she needs it to continue.
A lot of things have been happening aside from this and I’m so stressed.
I’m spending so much of my life overwhelmed and fucking scared.

Unless I get this ADHD under wraps, Ps get degrees. I have decided I will be sticking with this course for the casual teaching opportunities whilst I figure out what I want to do. Could do a mix of casual, and TA work, until the regulatory people say I can't work anymore until I complete this big project that everyone has to do to be fully registered. I like being in the classroom, but the disrespect sometimes just puts me in fight-or-flight, even if they aren't intentionally disrespectful.
I think what I really want to do is help people like me sort their lives out. Could do careers, but most of the opportunities are part-time in a school and are given to teachers. I guess I'll have to suck it up

I've just started a cert 3 and it's so badly put together that I'm doing the bare minimum and seeing if they pass me.

2
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
Is there a way to transition to adult education? It sounds like it might be a better fit
3
LowExperience2368 - 2mon
It's kind of an option? I think a lot of adult ed focuses on TAFE quals so I'd need to have one of those plus industry experience.

I don’t know what time the wind is due, but I’ve put my most vulnerable pot plants into a more sheltered location. There a few houses with Halloween decorations around here, we might see some stray blow up pumpkins floating around the streets tomorrow! Also thoughts and prayers to anyone who has bin night.

I'm just looking forward to seeing how my neighbour's Diwali lights hold up to the wind - long strings of light hanging off the eaves at the front of the house, I'm predicting tangles will occur at the very least.
