    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Fucking cleaning took so long even with the help of a friend because there was still Stuff that took long rob to load. Wish I didn’t have overdue stuff to do at work this morning.

    But i am really, truly, for sure this time 99% done - every last thing has been cleaned except the kitchen and second bedroom floor, it was too late for a vacuum. Tomorrow lunchtime i shall mop, take exit photos, drop off the keys and be done with moving out.

    … next stage is moving in… I live in a fortress of bags and boxes. But first, my car is loaded up with shit that needs donating including a neglected bike (with good parts). Gonna try and temporarily store it at work so I don’t need to be driving around with a whole ass bike in the back for the next few days.

    Also, the check tyre pressure light came on even though I got a new tyre. More headaches! Rahhhh!

    Good night everyone…

    Had a massive day, just sat down to go through the happenings of the DT. Two days in a row not WFH is a shock to the system, I’ve become such a home working slob. Quick wind down then off to bed as I gotta do it all again tomorrow. 😴

    Had a really helpful session with the psych today. Talked a lot about why I am struggling to let go of stress and work and gave me some good exercises to help getting some structure back and some boundaries (for me). I picked out this time. She is kind but not afraid to suggest stuff - which is good. Practical.

    Step one. Back to decent bedtimes. Night all. ♥️

    Stupid packages haven’t been sent on the same day.

    I hope the one delayed arrives by Friday or else it’s going to get wet. :(

    Working from home feels like a rest after such a big weekend. I want to focus though so I can work on other things the rest of this week

    Finished work early and… just didn’t feel like going home straight away. So I’m having a cheeky can of alco ginger beer in a part of a local park not frequented by children and their company or youths (I dislike drinking around children and will actively avoid it). Might have an extra can too. Because fuck it, that’s why!

    Just want to say thank you all again for the support yesterday. Truly a supportive space here with great advice. After going into the eye and ear today for a follow up her schedule has reduced which means less refusal and it’s going to be a bit easier for her.

    “Today the children pretended to eat the vegetables and say “yumm!”” You know what daycare, I will give you 500 bucks if that was actually the case! Given i watched tinyest pick out a fleck of zucchini from a casserole and when I asked him if he was gonna eat it he looked me dead in the eyes and said “Nooo”.

      They will eat anything at daycare and love it. You could make exactly the same recipe at home and they hate it. Welcome to the art of hiding vegetables.

      I was really lucky, Miss Seagoon was pretty easy, only when older she developed likes and dislikes. No capsicum, no pumpkin and no no onion. I solved it by first, not making any drama at all if she didn’t want something, she could leave it on her plate. And then when older letting her serve herself, that way there were no arguments

        My kid was the same. Ate every vegetable. Still eats every vegetable except spring onion. From a very early age, around the table, we discussed the benefits of each veg (every veg is a Super food) and the fact vegetables give you good poo poos. Never had to hide them. Never separate meals.

        I had a more tough love approach. You don’t have to eat them but you’ll go to bed hungry. Was that bullying? Probably yes. Does my kid have a problem with food? Not in the slightest.

      Combine zucchini and bacon and you have food of the gods

      Edit: and chargrilled or bbqd after soaking in seasoned olive oil

      Yep. Feels. Inserting vegetables into small kids is a thankless task. Thank god(s) for meatloaf - and a food processor for pureeing suspicious items into unidentifiable goo. I am eternally grateful that homemade tomato sauce also contains an adequate quantity of vegetables.

      Both my boys went through a ‘vegetables are poisonous’ stage, which was mercifully brief but hoo boy it was hard to cope with at the time!

      I think the only reason my kid eats vegetables now is from peer group pressure at childcare, lol. No idea how they got the other kids there to eat them, though

      I also became an expert at hiding extra veggies in things like bolognaise sauce
