What have you done today? (Pt 2)

^ As someone who sorted through donations in the backroom of a Lifeline op shop once, I know exactly what you're talking about.

Today I went back to work.

Glad you get me. Today we had kids underwear that had been... used.

People seem to think that the magical laundry, sewing and repair fairy will transform their donations into saleable items.

The majority of people think we wash the clothes but we don't. How else does the op shop get that used clothes smell? A lot of the clothes we get are not quite up to standard (have a button missing, are pilled, a small stain, etc) and they get transported to third-world countries.

I've seen my case worker at Ruah (mental health service) and ended up telling her a lot about Kayleigh and me. I haven't spoken to anyone about what happened between us for a long time and it felt good.

Now I have to take Kayleigh to the doctor (she has fortnightly appointments).

Really happy to read this, Ren. That's a good, healthy choice and I'm glad it has helped by opening up.

Nothing of note.

Took the cub to the park with my mother. Got to leave tomorrow.

Got up in time to get ready for work... little did I know my phone was at 32% so I took one of my portable batteries to charge it.

Not a whole lot to clean today just was told to go to the manager's office, because apparently I had forgotten something.

Saw a psychologist for the first time in years, just went through family history today, will see her again in a month and not sooner because that's all the NDIS allows. She knows heaps about ASDs. This will be interesting.

Then I went with Kayleigh out for brunch with my aunt and cousin. It's the first time any of my family have met with Kayleigh since the start of her transition. It went really well, my cousin has a lot in common with Kayleigh.

Work stuff. Just put dinner in the crockpot. I like knowing dinner is cooking itself and it's one less thing to have to think about.

Doctors appointments, lunch with Dad, bought 3 books, and two movies from the thrift shop, went home, did some shopping (my version of grocery shopping)

Did an experimental fix on the broken wheel of our rolling trash bin.  I had a large roll of black electrical tape, that I found by the side of the road, and bought a decent sized washer.  So after I put the wheel back on, I put the washer on to provide a smooth surface for the wheel to pub on, then I wound a large wad of the tape on the end of the steel rod as a stop for the wheel falling off.  It seemed to work for a half ass improvised fix it solution.  Now to see how long it lasts.   

[rock hound]

Cleaned the filter of the front loading washer.

Cleaned cages, slept, woke up, had lunch, got a hair cut, made my bed, relaxed, now I'm going to watch some stuff on Netflix
