Here's a thing for worried ppl, esp those feeling they need to do SOMETHING, but unsure what. I wrote it with Māori comms advice (thx!) . I linked to @drbex.bsky.social re 'don't comply in advance!'. I forgot: display symbols & give your fam H. E.'s "Aroha" for Christmas. awc.org.nz/things-you-c...

Day 2 of new job & oof the mental/emotional hoops are a lot eh. As is that good old shit-head imposter syndrome.

I now have the hiccups. # Better living Wednesdays e hoa ma.

Have had a few mid-week/work friend farewell drinks and where is my LBS for drunken ramblings huh?

We’re using Duro-Tuss, bottle says strawberry flavor but B reckons it tastes like honey! Using both the day & the night versions. Does seem to help but one cough sets off a chain, particularly like you say, in the evening & morning.

Oof we have the same here. Daily cough medicine & ‘puffer’, debating whether to go back to dr for a 4th time. 🫠

Watching the election results with my parents for the first time since 2011 when I spent the whole night trying to build up the nerve to tell them I was getting divorced. Similar sense of throat tightness tonight (to be clear, for very different reasons)

Of all days to wear a bright pink dress to work. 🤦‍♀️ Didn’t leave the office during the day & glad to have a full length coat for the commute home.

A leaders' debate should have all parties who have a likely chance of getting in per current polling. This "major"/"minor" party stuff is nonsense in MMP. Especially this election, with the way polls are looking.

Shifted this app to the front screen of my phone, so I’m committed now.

First time…what am I doing here? Posting? Ok, let’s figure this thing out.
