I try to be a good person ... but I wasn't very forgiving of the 9 noisy renters from Covid Central, living next door over the last 4 weeks ..... thank GOD they've gone!!

Stop letting people upset you.

This lady Cassie Leatham is amazing. She is a breast cancer warrior well worth following her endeavours for inspirationThe great cycling challenge has started.. 1000km and the ride for suicide prevention and awareness is 1500km and the ride for bowel cancer awareness is 1500km and 15,000 elevation climbing metres so it’s a huge month plus for me, donations have been made to beyond blue and lifeline
thank you to those who did this in support and also the big donation for the fight for kids cancer 
being a survivor and overcoming many operations it’s riding that has given me my strength and builds my body up for what ever I have to face physically but mentally as well so get a bike and start riding! It’s great to see how you can achieve goals and build yourself up! I’m the fittest I’ve ever been and have muscles I never knew existed lol!!

Thought
for the dayIf you feel like there’s something out there that you’re
supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just
do it.1 -
Stuff it .... it it works for you ... just put the dishwasher thru 2 or 3 times .....
Do what is right for YOU!!RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE.When I was at one of my lowest (mental) points in life, I couldn’t get out of bed some days. I had no energy or motivation and was barely getting by.I had therapy once per week, and on this particular week I didn’t have much to ‘bring’ to the session. He asked how my week was and I really had nothing to say.“What are you struggling with?” he asked.I gestured around me and said “I dunno man. Life.”Not satisfied with my answer, he said “No, what exactly are you worried about right now? What feels overwhelming? When you go home after this session, what issue will be staring at you?”I knew the answer, but it was so ridiculous that I didn’t want to say it.I wanted to have something more substantial.Something more profound.But I didn’t.So I told him, “Honestly? The dishes. It’s stupid, I know, but the more I look at them the more I CAN’T do them because I’ll have to scrub them before I put them in the dishwasher, because the dishwasher sucks, and I just can’t stand and scrub the dishes.”I felt like an idiot even saying it.What kind of grown ass woman is undone by a stack of dishes? There are people out there with *actual* problems, and I’m whining to my therapist about dishes?But my therapist nodded in understanding and then said:“RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE.”I began to tell him that you’re not supposed to, but he stopped me.“Why the hell aren’t you supposed to? If you don’t want to scrub the dishes and your dishwasher sucks, run it twice. Run it three times, who cares?! Rules do not exist, so stop giving yourself rules.”It blew my mind in a way that I don’t think I can properly express.That day, I went home and tossed my smelly dishes haphazardly into the dishwasher and ran it three times.I felt like I had conquered a dragon.The next day, I took a shower lying down.A few days later, I folded my laundry and put them wherever the heck they fit.There were no longer arbitrary rules I had to follow, and it gave me the freedom to make accomplishments again.Now that I’m in a healthier place, I rinse off my dishes and put them in the dishwasher properly. I shower standing up. I sort my laundry.But at a time when living was a struggle instead of a blessing, I learned an incredibly important lesson:THERE ARE NO RULES.So .... RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE!!!7 -
