Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 58: A tad down ... so I ate Flipz

Had a meeting with my Centrelink-appointed jobs provider today and while it went well as always - Chloe is very friendly and supportive of my job hunting efforts - I left there in a very dark, my life is f**ked mood and snapped at a person collecting funds for WSPA or something.

I just suddenly felt SO HOPELESS and tweeted this ...

I don't think anyone on Twitter took me seriously because while the tweet was favourited not a single person responded in any meaningful fashion. Sigh ...

So I came home, ate the last of my white fudge-covered pretzels and started work on getting my novel ready to send to the editor Cathie Tasker, an exciting development that has been a long time coming ...

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 57: Sunrise and GAYTMs

Walking with Waz and had to take a shot of the GAYTM on King Street ... and the sunrise ...

And Kat from my writing group was bored in her accounting lecture so I suggested she could spice it up a tad ...

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 56: SO MUCH DONE

BUSY DAY!

Got a ton done - 3 blog posts, jobs searched for, cleaning, reading, exercising. felt good to really nail a lot of things on my To Do  List.

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 55: Off to Nebraska!

Not the place, the movie Nebraska, at Dendy Newtown and it was good, very, very good.

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 54: Chilling, reading ... and #lightthedark

Steve had to work again so spent the day at his place reading (Existence by David Brin) and blogging ...

and then Steve cooked up a delicious Nigella Lawson recipe of chicken and vegetables on brown rice ... YUM!!

And then we lit candles for #lightthedark, a way to remember Reza Berati who died in the hell of the detention centre riots on Manus Island. There were physical demonstrations around Australia but we lit our candles at Steve's place, and I tweeted and Facebooked our participation in this vitally important event.

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 53: More Helix Twitter fun

Meegwun Fairbrother plays Daniel Avaro, the security guy and stolen/adopted son of Dr Hatake and has proven himself more than happy to interact with Helix fans.

He's favourited my tweets before but this time a response. Yes!
