@Glisten @AuntGlow @Shaz51 @Oaktree dating dillema 

so…….. iv had a rough time yesterday but half of it is my fault. 
you all know I decided to help this lady out who lives in where I live. Her story is horrible why she lives in public housing and after a few months, I wrote a letter to member of parliament, she was being swallowed up by these two volunteer's who were showing off they had university degrees and because they are so rich they wanted to help the poor. It’s been 5 months since I wrote that letter. The attacks from these two volunteers that I wrote to the head of parliament  was very weird. And she recovered. Anyway one of the volunteers just did something quite awful to her and I didn’t think she will continue being a head of the volunteers etc in our complex. Her drinking is getting very bad because she enjoys her alcohol. 

atvthis interview with these two volunteers plus other residents :: she wasn’t even told where the meeting was. Illegal !! 

All by herself, she found the meeting that the two volunteers had previously arranged to be hidden from her. She turned up with all information from all work done for the units. She had correct answers. 
one of the volunteers who was on zoom, hung up on her. 
last night she was crying with joy. I felt this letting go of anything I had supported her with and focused on my issues. 
I have never done this before, I don’t mean to show off or anything but I felt that usually ode been very affected by this issue. IDE still be in bed. Crying  over all the verbal and written attacks.

@AuntGlow mum and I go to Bali just to relax normally. We enjoy shopping, seeing sights and a few cocktails.

I am not confident I got the position, the recruitment agent called yesterday wanting to know why I had been unemployed for the past year and he didn't seem impressed (I said I had a career break and yes, I did claim centrelink) so I will be surprised if I hear back. Oh well.

My garden is more a bunch of plants in pots under the patio. I don't know why I don't want to plant anything in the garden, it's my house and I'm not likely to move any time soon lol!

[AuntGlow]

That sounds divine! @ENKELI 

I would love to do a solo bali trip (I think we discussed this in your dream trip thread!). I have friends who are thinking of Thailand next year though, which would be incredible too. 

That would have been a vulnerable conversation for you to have... I like to think that employers will understand that life isn't simple for many people, and that we need to take breaks depending on our situation. I have a feeling this would come under discrimination law @ENKELI.

But have you heard anything else? 🫶

hahah well, the potted plants sound really lovely. What's your favourite plant that you own?

[ENKELI]

@AuntGlow I am waiting until tomorrow to contact the recruitment agency and advise how their agent made me feel.

I don't have a favourite plant really, I love all of them! Some have special meaning as they are named after significant people in my life.

I hope your week goes well, it's a bit of a dreary day here in the 'Vegas so I will probably just do my job search and then watch some TV. Exciting stuff lol!!

[AuntGlow]

Okay, please let me know how this conversation goes @ENKELI 🫶

Aw, that's really lovely. 🥹🍃

haha sometimes slow days like that are a much-needed break for our very overstimulated nervous systems! (Saying this as someone who is needing a slow week, month... maybe year. 😂)

I hope you're feeling rested today. 💛

@PeppyPatti, How are you lovely? Thinking of you! 💖

[ENKELI]

@AuntGlow I haven't contacted the recruitment agency yet as I'm not having the best day.

I sent my dad several emails over the past week and today he called my brother (who lives with me) and chatted merrily for a while. He was talking about my sister and how wonderful she is because she visits him and helps with his computer.

Meanwhile he doesn't bother to respond to my emails and he conveniently forgets that I had packed up my life in preparation to move to NSW from Perth when he changed his mind. I lost money from cancelling my flight and he didn't give a crap.

Then again I suggested I come over to visit with him now he's in aged care and he's all excited then changes his mind and tells me not to bother coming over.

As I said in another post, I feel like I'm a dog who's been kicked but still wags its tail in hope of a pat.

And I hate that while I know that he's let me down ever since I was 5, I still cry about it.

Tomorrow I'm sure I'll feel better and can email the recruitment agency. I'll let you know 🫂 xx

Good evening @ENKELI, 

Oh, gosh... I wish I could give you a big hug. This is so, so painful to experience from such a young age. That dismissive, hot and cold behaviour from a parent isn't easy to move on from - even as an adult. 🥺

It sounds like your inner child is needing lots of love and nurturing this evening. I wonder how you could bring out your inner parent for them? 💛
