A huntsman has taken up residence. My husband has called them Hermes. Hermes has taken their name to heart. I’m not okay with this.
Things I never expected to do before I took up powerlifting: Complain to my dietician that I’ve lost weight 💪 😂

When a mate from Canberra rings to say she’s got a spare bed on the Gold Coast over the weekend you jump on the train 😍 Thanks @MeganLOMara for letting me take the arvo off at the last minute!!!

Got it back, broke a sandal, locked myself out of the apartment complex. Next door neighbour let me in. Debating whether it’s safe to leave or whether I build a fort and wait this day out. – at Brisbane, Queensland
This is so embarrassing. I left my phone in the Uber I took to get the bike helmet I left at the gym. Happy Hump Day?

Shaved 10 minutes off my cycle commute just from raising the bike seat and using panniers. 🚴 This is like the time I realised I’d cycled 50 km with my back brakes stuck on. – at Brisbane, Queensland

For a bit of perspective of what it's like to have COVID and a co-morbidity. Or, as I like to call it COVID when you are “young, fit, and sick”. 1/5 – at Brisbane, Queensland

If I get any gastro symptoms or my blood ketones get higher, I'll need to go straight to ED as my blood will quickly become "acidic" and I'll risk going into a coma 4/5 – at Brisbane, Queensland

Point is, please don’t assume you are only protecting yourself. If you are at all sick ask yourself whether you really need to be in the office to do your job, and if you do (unlikely, let's be honest) wear a mask and wash your hands regularly. Soap box over! 5/5 – at Brisbane, Queensland
