Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Whats on for the weekend everyone? Tonight im heading to a party at Max Watts run by the Rainbow Serpent crew, should be massive!! Tomorrow night will be moving my current mead to secondary to age on oak!! Sunday i have an axe throwing marathon, its only 2 weeks till the Asia Pacific Champs and Sunday will have 10 or more of the current top 20 in Australia throwing so will be a really good warm up :)
I plan to put some manure on the garden in the morning tomorrow, followed by a dentist appointment. Sunday I will be working all day.
I don’t think I will be winning any best weekend ever awards this week 🤣
It has not been a good week. The weekend will be spent recovering from the week.
(Kid) Footy and Hockey seasons are finally over. This is the first weekend of not needing to up at 7am for various sports. I need to get my sleep cycle under control. Spent a day and a half sick/sleeping and I’m still not quite back to normal. My watch says I slept from 3am to 7am, but it isn’t counting the bit where I crashed at 8pm and slept to nearly midnight.
Also, a friend/workmate passed away this week. We’re gathering this evening for drinks and memories/tears. He was roughly my age, with kids a little over my kids’ ages. This feels too close to home, like that could have been me but for a roll of fate’s dice. It could be my kids facing life without their dad. Cancer sucks.
Belated, but sorry to hear about your mate. Reading that gave me chills, just imagining it happening to me or someone my siblings’ ages, though I have no children. That’s particularly rough when it’s someone you worked with. Hope you’ve got some good strategies for handling the grief at work.
