    Probably an overshare, but I'm angry

    My grandma is too far gone with the religion and political stuff, and I think it’s time for me to stonewall her. She lives next door, which will make it a bit hard, but I don’t want to put up with her bullshit anymore. During COVID, she got so into religion that she tells us we’re going to hell for not believing. All day, everyday, she sits on her butt, watching YouTube videos about religion and people converting to her religion. She has not many friends, only goes to church and the supermarket, likes my aunt’s dogs more than she likes her own grandchildren and refuses to put in any effort with my younger cousins because their mother chose to keep in contact with her cheating father after my grandma and him got divorced. She doesn’t believe the priests or other clergy members could do anything wrong. Called Kamala a demon and said that she would make the US a communist country. And America will be saved, Trump is Christian yada yada yada. Absolutely no critical thinking skills whatsoever.

      Brutal. When they get that deep it’s practically impossible to pull them out; they don’t believe they need saving. My mum is the same, though non-denominational

      she sounds lonely and in need of guidance from someone as intelligent and kind as you

      maybe you can share non political yts with her, like nature yts or something . Don’t react to her provocations.

        goons, I know you mean well and radical empathy is a thing, but no one makes the choice of stonewall or going NC without trying everything possible first. And I mean everything, including eating decades of shit.

      If we’re nearby we’ll do the Dandy Market. It’s not cost effective for us to drive there just to go to the market but if we’re out and about we’ll go. Are you Paky way? I’ve heard good things about Garfield fruit and veg, and I think they’re online too. I’m more Cranbourne way so I go to what they call Market on the main street and I’m pretty happy with price and quality.

      Look, feel free to ignore this, but have you had your glasses prescription (if any) updated recently? I’ve had headaches that were made worse by tension/stress but magically vanished when I got new glasses.

        adding to the possibles - do you have allergies? Because 'tis the season and sinuses. And if you take a lot of sudafed, it dries them out and will absolutely smash your head in when they get angry

    I just did a ticket at the new job and this is it. This is the sort of work I’ve been missing for the last couple of years. I don’t know if it’s because I was working with clunky software or what, but I just didn’t enjoy my last couple of roles.

    This should have the same issues of finiky work that requires high attention to detail, but there’s something about this where I can get into a workflow to just get the work done and check it as well.

    I’m not diagnosed with anything but it’s like this work tickles a part of my brain the way factorio or one of those games does for some people

      That’s really great that your new job is sounding like a better fit for you - makes it much easier to move on from the old job and know that you’re not the problem, there is a place for you :D

    Got a call back from CAV today about my application to have the rent increase reviewed, seems like it’s about a 30 day turnaround. Well since shit has changed so much I said it’s no longer necessary and to close the case but they were very helpful about checking that I knew my rights around vacating with 14 day notice etc.

    I sent my intention of notice to vacate to the LL yesterday morning, no response so far, and CAV themselves advised that while the LL doesn’t have to respond, if they don’t specify how to return possession (i.e., keys) then really all I need to do is tell them how I’ve done it and then it’s the LL’s problem as to whether the property is secure or otherwise 🤷

    Missed the opportunity to ask how exactly I can report LL if she starts listing the property for rent within 6 months of the vacate notice, but I guess I’ll find a way to call again if it comes up.

    I’m cleaning up and I found a cover that goes on the battery compartment. I have no idea what it’s from. I’ve kept it for a reason and I’ll continue to keep it but it’s gonna do my head in for the rest of the day.
