Brains are amazing at recovering and reconfiguring. It will get easier. You’ve done so many hard things, and come through it. We are here for the vents any time you need it!
Congratulations!!
Effigies of your enemies to toss into the fire? Arrange some stones into a henge?
Book review. Have just finished listening to the audio book The Wager. It’s a naval history book, not something I’d never normally select but it came strongly recommended. It is a WILD story. 1700s journey from Britain to South America. Shipwrecked, stranded, scurvy, starvation. Human behaviour and choices in the face of these extreme circumstances. And somehow a few barely alive survivors made it back after several years. Their story was a public sensation in its time. Early in the book I had to pause a few times to look up various naval terms, but was pretty easy listening otherwise. Very engaging.
Visiting Northland is a game of roulette - will I be stabbed, suffer smoke inhalation, or get run over by a rampaging car? Maybe all 3 if visiting on the same day?
Thornbury Witch has given some very good advice. Also be aware, that if you don’t currently meet the deposit/income criteria for a mortgage from a regular bank, you will certainly not be getting a better deal elsewhere. Because of the high risk to the lender they will charge higher interest, fees etc. It will cost you a lot more. Best to save more deposit. There is nothing wrong with renting if means you can live comfortably and not be mortgaged to the eyeballs stressing over every dollar. I’ve never built new so I don’t know anything about finance + build schemes, but I would be too uncomfortable. Are there kickbacks to the builder? What’s the fine print? What recourse do you have if there’s problems with the build? I would feel much safer with a regular bank loan.
I have brunched, I have shopped, I have put on a load of washing, and I have bought Whitlams tickets. So far so good today.
I have no option on mesh vs upholstery, but have strong opinion that any desk chair needs to be fully adjustable in seat height, tilt, back support, arm rest height. Because everybody’s body is different and getting it set up right is what’s gonna make it comfortable for you.
Happy Birthday! Hope the workday is not too awful!
So sorry. These people sound obnoxious.
So windy all day. This house rattles and creeks when it’s windy.
