Yes, connection problems.

Seems like it’s more of an issue once it hits 4,000 and over visitors

More crab dancing in the caravan due to an extreme hot weather event. Today I am only able to use half of the caravan due to keeping the caravan cool. Still got those disco moves.

I am really tired. I am also really grateful to be able look after PB's best friend. K is 91 years old. Their families have a friendship that goes back over 90 years. I am getting his routines.

I am pretty lucky to know some of the folks that I know. Feeling gratitude.

It shouldn't be a surprise to find someone dead when you realise you never told that person you ever wanted them to live. In fact it just makes sense. Telling someone their life is worthwhile only takes a few seconds and they'll have all the time in the world to accomplish something that makes a difference and you choose not to. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

When I see that there's a new comment or thread by @parrotthepolly I think to myself "@parrotthepolly is nice. I like @parrotthepolly. I wonder what's new with @parrotthepolly".

Even if it's crap news, it's good to be shared with.

I am doing much better. I had a break away from the extreme weather consequences and our really bat ship crazy Insurance Company.

I also wish a burning pestilence on the gonads of the people who work for corrupt Insurance Companies and building companies.

And I wish to complain.

I am involved with a long and protracted interaction, because these folks are not competent to have an argument, discussion or battle.

The fence guy came to do a report about the root ball of a 25 metre gum tree that literally had a fence picket sticking out of it and he cropped out the picket fence and submitted a report saying the root ball was 2 metres away from the fence. It is insanity. Of course a complaint had another Insurance Company employee come out, who could clearly see the root ball sticking out of the neighbour's fence (she let us go in her yard). So he said it is clearly breaching the fence and has literally a fence picket sticking out of it. Yes it has to be fixed. But that was a lot of stress with that one little complaint.

Then the fence guy who put in the fradulent report in with the cropped out fence turned up to be an assessor for a mould job, where the subcontractor, came and screamed at me (without introducing himself) and demanded to know why the plumber hadn't done his job. He then plastered over our phone line, denied it was there, even though it had been there for 25 years and the socket was at his feet, and then he left black uncontained mould in house as well as leaning the black mould up against the new gyprock. So no mould containment.

Anyway the Fence Guy suggested B and I buy some sealant and caulk and finish the job. Like this is their job - it's not rocket science. So he was being incredibly rude, mocking and antagonistic. So I wrote another complaint.

Then the mould remediation company came and sealed off the doors to the garage and the kitchen and put some time of air scrubbers in and then left it for three weeks with a back of the black mould unsealed. Which the assessor pulled out and said all that sealed room, and air scrubbers has achieved exactly nothing for the three weeks.

I have four claims, with multiple tradies, sometimes up to four tradies came in a day. The Insurance Company tried to set up a pretence of site management but mostly everyone turned up saying can you please tell what I am meant to do as X Insurance Company has really bad scopes of work and very poor instructions.

I have been putting up with too much crap.

Whilst this has been going on I have been learning not to fawn as much. Trying to do therapy whilst this disaster circus has been going on has been hard but I have made progress with less dissociation and much less fragmenting.

I will finish this complaint and then I will have a decent break.

Today I am amusing myself with insults whilst writing a comprehensive complaint to the Insurance Company.

I wish a burning pestilence on the gonads of corrupt Insurance Companies and anyone associated with them.

So I am a bit more stable and managing better. And trying not to in that PTSD kid state. It is not useful.

I want to connect with folks but I don't really want to go into folk's diaries as I am not wanting to trigger myself. Just chatting about simple things like photos and daily stuff.
