Life mostly mylotters So 13th of December. I got trial shifts awesome those are legal if theyre for a reasonable length of time... On my third (and final day) of my trials I brought it to attention that I was concerned I hadnt been given a break, nor had I been given a contract of employment. So I went in there to talk to the manager before I started work. Instead of going about easing my concerns and looking into the workers rights the manager acknowledged she wasnt familiar with I was personally attacked! Including things like I should go back to my previous job and Ill never find a job with my attitude. Yes sorry I forgot I shouldnt question my rights as a worker. I walked out and they ended up understaffed not my issue because I didnt have a contract of employment. (more on this later) 24th of December I was lucky enough to go to a celebration with my primary partner C and his family. They had even got me presents I was not aware of this happening so I was embarrassed I didnt have anything for them. 25th of December for the first time in my life I spent Christmas with just my mother. You see mylotters every other year I have spent christmas with my extended family... Well 2022 they all went to the river land with a toddler... The riverland that was flooding... The riverland that was reporting elevated risk of arborviruses such as JEV which they were not eligible to be vaccinated against... (more on this later) 31st of December, I sat at home and played videogames. I dont even remember if I was awake to bring in tbe new year. January 11th was my mums bday, we ended up going for coffee with an old family friend and then having lunch at a restaurant. January 21st my friends bday but we didnt end up doing anything. But, we do generally spend Valentines day together every year since Bones and I broke up (it's a great tradition what can I say?). Somewhere in here my father unblocked me to be able to wish me a happy birthday. My reaction: what do you want? January 22nd I spent the day with my lovely partner C. He took me out for the day and let me pick myself out a present (I chose a puzzle) we had lunch too at Ajisen Ramen. Then we went back to his place and his parents made me dinner and a birthday cake. January 25th Cs mothers bday. Unfortunately they also attended a memorial service. Later on that day I was over and I stayed over til Australia day. I dont celebrate Australia day but it is an excuse to have the day off to deal with the meat sweats from overindulging at the barbecue. Thats about it I will make a seperate discussion about the restaurant and Christmas debacles. Sorry it was so long thanks if you read it though.

Life does tend to happen to everybody once in a while. I'm glad you dropped in and felt like talking... You've been busy. I'm glad you seem to be in good health and your boyfriend and his family enjoy spending time with you. It was interesting knowing what you've been doing to keep yourself entertained. I hope you have a good day.
