Family are all sick with viruses and one with tonsillitis. There are also other health related issues with certain family members which have been dragging on for a while now. I’m the sort of person who rarely gets sick, so I have to be the nurse while working my 5 days a week. It’s hard and I’m not the best nurse if the truth be told, so I’m getting sick of the attitudes from people I’m trying to help. People aren’t really themselves when they’re sick so I’m just trying to be patient and tell myself that it won’t always be like this.

Hi fellow Aussie! Does your username by any chance come from this picture ?

My daughter has a new best friend and I haven’t met her mum yet, so the girls have organised a get together for us at a local cafe so we can meet and get to know each other. It’s kind of a blind playdate for the mums, lol. The cafe they’ve chosen is between where we both live and the food and coffee are excellent there. Apart from that I’ll be making my weekly assault on Mount Washmore in the laundry, and continuing with my only occasionally successful attempts to declutter the house.

On Beehaw I’m grateful for the positive vibe of the place in general. There’s a lack of nastiness and negativity here which feels very comfortable. Others in this thread have mentioned the no downvotes and I have to agree to the extent that when I drop by other instances it kind of unsettled me to see it, I prefer life without it.

In life I’m grateful for the love of my kids, which makes me feel like I belong in the world. Also my job because I enjoy it and it gives me the means to support my family.

One thing I definitely won’t miss is being downvoted for just asking a question!
