Things That Are on Your Mind

[Daku Rinku]

Hopefully things go well. I wish your parents the best. Hopefully they get better.

Thanks my friend, I am trying to look to the good and learn to navigate what I would call "new normals."

I’ve made the decision with my partner to start looking into the process of getting them a partner visa for Australia so that we can live together here now that we have been together for a few years and have spent a decent amount of time together both in Australia and the USA (plus some in Japan).

The visa alone looks to cost over $9000 plus any associated fees for getting a lawyer to help with the process which is a little crazy but at the end of the day it’ll certainly be worth it to get the chance to start the next stage of our life together which is an exciting prospect!

You obviously know I can relate to this on many levels haha so I am so excited for you! It's a huge step to take and undoubtedly a significant hassle, but every moment and every penny will be worth it in the end.

We're about 4 months off or so, I'm excited and nervous at the same time but mostly excited. Congrats on choosing to take this next big step in your relationship!

What is on my mind is that HOA over my Dad's house has parking spaces that are numbered and you must have tag in your window to park in guest parking. Well if you are in one space too long, they tag it with warning, then a fee, then a tow. I found out one day there is a lady of senior age that walking around checking all the cars and reports on people. Now I understand parking is scarce, but a lot of owners are not using their garages for their cars and instead use them as storage units, and that is exacerbating the parking situation. That and some of them have six cars a household. Its just a stressor because I usually move it every two days, but lately fatigue has set me behind.

The car thing annoys me too l.. half the time they go to the same place from the same place at yhe same time so its a convoy and then its like that was walking distance...

I use my garage as storage space, but I understand the limited parking, because there's always a lot of parties going on in my area.

We have a garage but its ancient so it wouldnt fit a car...

 

[Commander_Has]

We have too much stuff and too many cars.

That's badass man. I wish you and your partner the best.

Yeah, I know, I did the same at one apartment I lived in though I only had two cars, and I was paying for another space.

May be slightly tmi so I'll spoiler but the other day I spent 19 hours in the ER due to a rectal infection. Was told it would require surgery, but fortunately against all odds it somehow popped and started draining itself before the surgery was to take place.

So now, instead of just having it cut out and basically heal immediately, I have to instead simply ride out the extreme pain in that region. I truly hope the antibiotics I was prescribed do their job and this only lasts another day or two.

It's great that you don't have to do surgery anymore. I'm still dreading mine.

I'm slowly mentally complaining less. But as I'm getting older I'm noticing how my body reacts to it.

Lets all do our best and stay healthy everyone.

As I've been getting older, I've been noticing the exact opposite. Nowadays I've been growing resentment more frequently. I know it's unhealthy, but it's been harder to forgive and forget. I fear soon that I'll end up like Dracula and wanting to commit genocide.

I began reading the Mississippi Driver's License Manual pdf this morning and taking notes for the driver's license test! I should be able to wrap that up this week and take the test soon, then I'll be able to (legally) practice my driving skills out on the road. I'm determined to be an independent driver before my 18th birthday, and it'd be awesome if I can before the end of this year. Either way, this is a huge step towards that
