Small but significant things! I was starting to get worn down by the washing of dishes.

It turns out the blockage was in the actual connection to the kitchen sink pipe. So fixable at any time, just didn't spot it. ARGH.

Still really tired. Wondering if I should get a PCR to check my status. I wouldn't at all be surprised to find I have COVID and my only symptom is fatigue. (Wouldn't be at all surprised to find that I don't have COVID and I'm just exhausted either.)

Tattoo is feeling a bit 'sticky' today - I think that's mostly the bandage film over it. It's probably going to be really annoying tomorrow though. Four days to keep the bandage on (unless it comes off of its own accord, but it seems pretty stable right now).

Hockey is FINISHED, BABY! It was a hard year for the teams - so many absences, sicknesses, and unable-to-make-its, but we had fun playing together.

Independents' Day: ABC Four Corners did an episode on the new Independents who've been elected to Australian Federal Parliament, and after the introduction blurb, they opened with a worker scraping the window banner off the offices of the member for Kooyong, the former Federal Treasurer who got voted out in the election in May.

The former MP was once billed as 'the future of the Liberal Party' but is entirely out of parliament now (and, I believe, already promised a cushy little exec job somewhere).

The worker is working with what I'd say is a distinct enthusiasm.

I mean, I love the name - kudos to whoever came up with the clever title for the episode.

One of the interesting things about this episode is that everyone major in it is female. The interviewer is female and all the independents being highlighted - both House of Reps and Senate - are female. (9 new independents in the federal lower house, 8 of them female.)

I finished a work thing today. It was very simple, but I couldn't seem to get my brain around it ALL LAST WEEK. Ugh.
