Friday Coffee and Chat -- 1st May 2026

Hello @creative_writer

We have the aircon on here this afternoon

Muggy when it stops raining 🌧

Thank you for the tag @Shaz51

I’m tired. How are you feeling Shazzy?

I ate three giant chocolate chip cookies - that behaviour is not going to help me.

🫤😆

Have you done something to make you tired @Glisten xx

Chocolate chip cookies sounds great but it woul put my diabetes up high

@Shaz51 Two main things:

Housing - I have got to get out of here. There’s not enough privacy and being here makes me anxious.

Vehicle - Driving 66kms to buy a car from the guy that I bought my last car from.

But so busy looking for housing or work opportunities, I’m overwhelmed and exhausted.

Sending you lots of tender hugs my friend 🧡 @Glisten

Just watching YouTube videos @creative_writer , how about you

@Jynx I got an email from the International Study Funding Grants lead person from my university that they currently have a limited number of spots available for a special networking event (Funding and Opportunities Event). This event is to basically learn more about the semester grants for one of the asian countries they've listed available & hearing students' past experiences of studying overseas with this grant (it looks like only some students will be selected to attend the event though from what I understand? if so, then thats no problem at all with me 😎 but I will be absolutely disappointed if I didn't get approved for the grant if I get to apply for that like in next semester or next year)

Ok, at first I got carried away when I filled in the form that they attached because I initially thought it was about applying for the grant, but now I realise it was about attending that event which is gonna be held next Thursday at 6-8pm. But still, I'm interested in potentially wanting to get the grant and studying in one of the Asian countries they've listed.

Also, I've written a letter about my worries/concerns about the new NDIS reforms to my local MP and have sent it. If it wasn't for today's session with my social worker I wouldn't be able to do this.

Sitting with you ❤️ @creative_writer and sending you hugs 🫂 my friend

Trying to get my NDIS forms done @Jynx , @Blackcloud , very slow 🐌
