Back in January I was still really struggling with my mental health, and while I was doing ok with adapting to the anti-depressants, I was not noticeably getting anywhere. I was also still struggling with

So, I haven't managed to get back to posting regularly, or even looking at my list of posts to make. Slowly getting sources of stress sorted out or pushed into the future to help with the mental health

So, it's been over 3 weeks since I posted. I will firstly report that I am still here, still alive and (mostly) well. With that said, I've been doing a lot of work getting my health back on track over

Some of you probably have noticed my absence, others probably haven't. I've been struggling for a little while, and a bit over a week ago I was helped to make the decision to call the doctor and get help.

As my recent updates have shown, life has been a bit of a turmoil lately, and that's not about to change with centrelink's decision today (despite their decisions as recently as last month) that my fiancee

Just a short post to let you all know that It is also to let you know that I am thankful for the support that those of you who have interacted with me over the last month and a half have provided. I'm

My Mother As some of you would have noticed from my previous posts, my mother's health hasn't been good. We thought that she was getting better, but the improvements were only temporary. On Monday 20th

Following on from my previous post, I'm currently in Adelaide. I arrived mid morning on Saturday to the news that while mum wasn't in renal failure as previously diagnosed, she wasn't in a good way at

I expect that my next week or 2 will probably not contain much in the way of posts, and it may take a while for me to get back into the swing of things. I had the phone call tonight and fly off tomorrow

Asides from being a new father, and spending what time I can over at my partner's place visiting her and our baby, I've been sick. So sick I've spent more than half of every day last week in bed sleeping,

Way back towards the end of last year, I had a couple of announcements that were made, and this week saw the end of one of those phases. On Monday morning we got up early and we headed to the hospital.

While I was in Adelaide recently, I had a couple of fitness excursions with my sister. I've already written about our exploration of the Hallett Cove Boardwalk, and a bit over a week later, we went off

After the rest and recuperation of Melbourne (as well as all the fun that was had), Rustle and I hit the road again on Tuesday with Sydney as our destination. The day's planed journey, with endpoints marked

Having arrived in Melbourne with my travelling companion and rested for the night, we had an afternoon meetup in the city to get to. Because I have awesome friends though, my host had arranged for another

So I'll be getting back to my schedule later this week, but first, what I've been doing for the last few days. Back towards the end of March I met Rustle (along with a bunch of other great people) and

I'm sure I'll get back to cooking at some point soon. I'm starting to run down the remaining stocks in the freezer. Today I did make myself a cheats burger. Toasted a burger bun on the hotplate of the

While today is a scheduled 'cooking' post day, I don't actually have any cooking posts to make due to various reasons. I did make a 2 minute noodle based dish last night for a snack, and have had a bunch

For the past few weeks I've noticed my inability to consistently get a daily post done, and as a result of this I've made the decision that daily posting isn't something I can do long term, especially

Just a short post with a few things of not in it. I'm on my way from Sydney to Adelaide for the next couple of days. Tonight I'm in Canberra with friends. Tomorrow I'll be in Melbourne. The Path of Exile

Before These are the photos of me that you haven't been getting while I've been using the photo from my proposal. This is what I looked like at 9 am this morning, ready for my first haircut in about 18
