Melbourne

This weekend we've been purging. I can't even think of the right words. I'm tired. I'm very overwhelmed by the shit that came out of my daughter's room. It's all good just overwhelming.

I finally quit call centre work and am starting a TAFE course that will lead me to working in an industry that I've wanted to be in since I was in HS.

Am getting back on the therapy wagon after a hiatus.

Seeing my dad more often, as he's the only parent I talk to and I love him, involving overcoming my own feelings of failure and not being good enough

Things feel very 'one step forward, two steps back'.

But I'm making progress on having my health taken seriously and hoping for some positive changes (or at least further appointments) by the end of the year. I've at least sharpened a bunch of charcoal and graphite pencils in case energy for art hits.

Other than that I'm basically just taking care of myself and my cat.

All of my plans/goals have been completely changed around by my father's illness, so I probably less achieved than I would have otherwise.

I have managed to max out my concessional super contributions this financial year and have gotten my clutter problem under control to the extent that moving house now seems like a real possibility. I was doing well with my garden & growing lots of vegies over summer, but the focus on that has now changed to keeping it tidy for future sale so my enthusiasm levels for that have dissipated a lot.

My goal for the end of year is mostly just to move house, which will involves selling two houses and consolidating households with myself and my mother, so is a big enough thing to focus on without adding anything else.

Finding a role lol

Oh and either joining a band again, or performing solo.

Hmm.... ticked some big items off so far out of necessity:

• work out whether I'm staying or going re: Melbourne ✅
• find workplaces that are healthier and happier than my last place ✅
• get a cheap enough car ✅
• travel more - ✅ (partly)

But still a fair more to work through.

• increase my earning potential at least a tad - tbc but partly ✅
• finalise finishing my degree - tbc (partly ✅)
• restore my savings used when unemployed - tbc
• make new friends - tbc...
• try going camping solo - tbc
• find sustainable pathway to never working FT again - tbc
• figure out a regular fitness routine that I like - very much tbc
• cat??? 🐱😸😺 - 🤔

Goals?

still working on mine,
