Jay Herself

@henderfarmer @RobSuisted Also I just realised it says he wants someone to catch him one 😂 I haven’t actually seen any since moving to the city, but saw heaps in the Hutt

@RobSuisted @jayherself you love finding spiders dont you?

Help. Can anyone near #Wellington catch me an adult sized whitetail spider for a photo assignment I’m working on? Haven’t been able to find one anywhere. #CrowdsourceaCritter

@henderfarmer @RobSuisted I do! Unfortunately my photos are never that great, but here’s a couple + a teeny tiny baby which was very cute - they look like they’re wearing stripy pajamas.

FamilyBoost! We qualify annually for an estimated $1,462. What we actually received is $84.66 😂 The extra $7 a week isn’t worth the hassle submitting the invoices and following up with IRD was, so enjoy your extra money landlords.

Doctor: And no exercising, running etc for at least a week, longer if you’re still feeling unwell Me: No exercise or running?? Well, whatever you think is best 👀

@henderfarmer @indie_pixel That was a particularly good one. She might end up being a comedian.

@indie_pixel @jayherself We'll keep her around for the cute niece stories. E.g "come Mr Tally man, tally me muesli bar"

Shout out to the neuro diverse people who thrive in a WFH sitch coz they aren’t being overstimmed into an anxiety collapse they constantly have to mask.

@indie_pixel Idk but I rotate between knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch, embroidery and now I’m trying my hand at a latch hook rug. I have no finished projects at all, so you could just give up and try a new thing like me! 😂

@jayherself Omfg why can’t I do this

Tried 3 times to cast on this evening. Still can’t knit. It’s like I’m stuck in my 14 year old hands.

Been on Amitriptyline for a year - absolutely obliterated my headaches/migraines, a miracle. Started Sertraline a week ago and woke up this morning with a killer headache that has not eased all day 🙃 But at least I’m not anxious about it 😅

*sad borat voice*: my wife

@its_not_lupus I’ll never be prised from my black jeans and teeshirt 🤷🏻‍♀️

@its_not_lupus I think this child belongs to you

@indie_pixel Potentially, prior to the kid getting sick out of literally nowhere. But to do that now would mean Charlie taking time off work which he can’t do, or getting someone in to watch the kid, which they won’t because *sick* (which is fair enough). May have to be a plan for future Jay

@jayherself It’s ok to need space to literally decompress. Maybe could that be organised? Also come stay I have spare beds.

I don’t really post much anymore, mainly because all I do is complain about being a parent, but also because literally no one interacts with my tweets so seems pretty fruitless. Nonetheless, here comes another complainy post.

@indie_pixel I have just had *enough*. If it’s not one thing, it’s another and I just want to go somewhere quiet and peaceful with no people* * Said while acknowledging that the people I have in my life are lovely (for the most part) and I’m lucky to have them

@jayherself I think being complainy is like the new thing coz we are all doing it lol

@indie_pixel Hahaha no 😅

@jayherself Did you see my tweet today about how all my tweets are complainy?

Then to top things off, a spider dropped onto my head while I was desperately sorting the washing before she got home, and there is a mouse terrorising the house that seems immune to our PB baited (live) traps. The temptation to just walk away has never been higher.

It COULD be worse. Get a call from Z’s educator saying she’s thrown up. That’s 48 hours of relaxing leave down the drain, assuming she doesn’t throw up again. And I’ve lost todays cleaning time because although she’s napping now, she will need near constant attention upon waking

Ok, one day of leave forgone because of cleaning, and tomorrow not the best because who knows what time he’ll show up, meaning relaxing is off the cards. Still got 3 more days. Could be worse.
