Feeling a bit overwhelmed today. Kids, work, wife, nothing's 'bad' just feel like too many pieces in the air and something's about to come crashing down. At least it's almost the weekend though :)

Got an idea for next month's banner?
I can really relate to the 'constant feeling of vague impending doom.'
Yeah, that constant low grade anxiety is a bugger. But, it comes and goes so I can't complain. I've had the nasty version before at times so I'm thankful it's not that :)
I need to get up and go to the gym but it's raining outside and warm in my bed. At least it's Friday.
NZ movie night at mine. Deathgasm and The Breaker Upperers.
I made it to the bus on time. Bus driver let me on even though my card didn't have credit. It should have auto top but I guess it had my old debit card on it?
There should be an easier way to update your cards across the various websites when they expire. I don't want to have to login to onlyfans, hotmilfs, alienbabes and studmuffins etc to update my card details every couple years because I'm going to forget something somewhere.
It feels like it could be built in functionality with a password manager but not without some sort of standardisation across sites. Which maybe we don't want.
Just use the scream test. They'll let you know when they can't get payment from you.
Well, it's been working for me for the most part so far
Oh well, looks like we're going to have a good weekend, pretty nice morning weather in tamakimakaurau!
Feels shorter than last week, but still a bit of a slog. At least it is a short week, next week.
Going to be out of the country for a month and will miss Matariki, which feels kind of lame. It's such a great new celebration.
Currently filled with dread about our holiday, currently can't wait for for it to be over so I can stop worrying, and it hasn't even started yet. I'm sure I'll be fine once we get underway.
I'm not normally a worrier about this kind of thing but, the world just seems so shit lately and like something is begging to go wrong. Have a train transfer in Paris in a couple of weeks which may prove... exciting.
Try and be excited about it 🙂 overseas opportunities don't come around all that often (for the most of us) and it's completely normal to be a little nervous - but you probably know as well as well all do, that once you're back, you'll wish you were still on your trip!!
I know, I know. Thanks for the pep talk though.
I'm keeping myself busy by looking for something to do in London with my brother on Friday since he will never have celebrated Matariki before
The SO received a package from AliExpress that he'd ordered in February so maybe there's hope for the $2 earrings I ordered in March.
Happy Friday afternoon, people's!
I ordered something from Aliexpress. Tracking showed it got into NZ in 10 days.
It took a further 53 days to get from NZ post to me, and my delivery address is 4km away from the NZ Post mega setup in East Tamaki.
Don't give up hope.
NZ Post claim they delivered a parcel to me this morning, but no sign of it anywhere on my property.
Normally I’d just roll my eyes, but this one contains some medication.
Oh shit. Not at your neighbour's place?
Yup! He delivered it to my neighbour. NZ Post support were really good - they could see he’d parked up outside the wrong house.
That's actually superb! So many horror stories about NZ Post and deliveries etc, so great to hear a positive one
Phew!
