Minecraft

Posted on August 24, 2020 by Detrecto

It’s a good job this blog is anonymous because I’ve suddenly developed a bit of a thing about Minecraft. Initially this started because mini-Detrecto and I started messing around in creative mode. Just putting blocks on top of one another and then building pens for various animals. Fun stuff. But then a bad thing happened….

The Happy Broadcast

Posted on August 24, 2020August 24, 2020 by Detrecto

Someone reminded me today to look for the happy in life and having recently reviewed all of my posts I realise I can seem quite negative. Maybe I’m more likely to blog when feeling dispirited but most of the time I’m upbeat and reasonably chipper. And that brings me onto The Happy Broadcast. Give them…

Sometimes…

Posted on August 17, 2020 by Detrecto

Two entries in one day. I must be working from home again. I love my job. I love being a peer worker. I love the values of peer work. I love everything it stands for and how different the relationships that are build through it can look compared to other types of mental health support….

Fuck Covid

Posted on August 16, 2020 by Detrecto

Covid can go fuck itself. It’s been a pretty shit week. I’ve needed some time off work as I’m suffering from a certain level of burnout and I was planning to speak to my GP this week about the possibility of some mental health related sick leave. A bout of suspected mild pneumonia put pay…

Passion

Posted on August 15, 2020 by Detrecto

When you go to training you inevitably go around the room and people introduce themselves and say what they are passionate about. I’m passionate about a few things in life but I can honestly say that I’d love to be as passionate about something in my life as my daughter is about blowing things up…

Disclosure Anxiety

Posted on August 12, 2020 by Detrecto

I gave the address of this blog to a co-worker today. On one hand, I’m pretty comfortable with that. There’s nothing inherently bad or deep in here that I wouldn’t be comfortable sharing with this particular person. But…! What if I forgot about the entry where I disclose about the time I beat a baby…

I Am Inevitable

Posted on August 10, 2020 by Detrecto

Back working from home as a result of a lot of rain and a small spike in Covid cases locally. In reality, what this looks like: Me getting some shitty flu like symptoms, having a day time sleep for the first time in ages and rocking up for a 3rd Covid test in the space…

Grant Imahara

Posted on July 14, 2020July 14, 2020 by Detrecto

Grant Imahara died today. I won’t pretend to know everything he’d done or been a part of as an engineer, presenter, builder etc. But I do know that him and the rest of the Mythbusters crew have been a steady and comforting hand during a long period of recovery in my life. As someone with…

Back To The Future

Posted on July 12, 2020 by Detrecto

And so another week starts of being a cross between Mr Freeze and Jesse Pinkman – stuck in a caravan but freezing cold. On the plus side I have managed to snag a tiny plug-in heater so my feet are warm. Today’s a weird day. I have all of the thoughts but none of the…

Winter in Australia

Posted on July 5, 2020 by Detrecto

“Morning.” “How ya goin?” “Good thanks, you?” “Good thanks. Cold isn’t it?” “Yeah, bit fresh.” “…” “Was there a frost at your place this morning?” “Yep. You?” “Little bit.” “Yep, bit fresh.” “…” “…”
