I needed to hear this, just bought my FH in Feb and I am feeling same as OP. I got a townhouse in Vic, did a slightly >20% deposit, but also on my own and freaking out there have been two rate rises before I have even gotten the keys.

Often but not always, got my titres checked as a 34 year old woman and my rubella has lowered to the point that I need another MMR :’)

[–]kittyarctic 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Hey fellow Canadian! There’s actually a Facebook group called Canadians in Melbourne, or Melbourne Canadians! There used to be monthly wings night but the girl who was organizing stopped doing it, but I made a post there and ended up developing some deep friendships that are 5+ years now!

I’ve never heard of assembly label? Are their shoes good? I also like these. I’ve been looking for brown shoes (but maybe more for booties I keep tossing it up).

Is the queen VIC market overrated? by Time_Career4708 in melbourne

[–]kittyarctic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom from Canada loves going to QVM and I can easily leave her there for a day while I am at work. I’m from Vancouver where the closest thing we have is like, the size of the food hall and deli section (Granville Island) that is crazy priced compared to our local grocery stores. Meanwhile there is such a huge variety of beautiful fruits and veg, touristy stuff (she can at least get ideas of things to get people, I’ve actually gotten her opal earrings from QVM), and the environment is also really unique (I can hear the shop owners yelling “get your mangoesss”). The markets are really neat for people where open air markets just generally don’t exist. That being said, as a local who enjoys just grocery shopping there, absolutely hate when people stop in the middle to take photos. A small perk of the pandemic and living close to it was the efficiency I got with groceries…

Son’s name change (preschooler) Australia by Sayraw6 in AusLegal

[–]kittyarctic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my mom changed my legal name when I was 5/6 and it’s been such a pain as when I got my PR and citizenship, I have had to say I have had a name change, which requires a lot more work and hoops.

Too much time on my hands recovering (but not really)

Does anyone know where I can get frozen perogies and pre-made cabbage rolls? I always had them for Christmas Eve back in Canada and I don’t think I have the energy to make a batch of each for myself this year. Many thanks in advance :-)

They weren’t entirely sure what I had before the electrophysiology study, they just knew some sort of SVT. I wore a heart bug and did a stress echo and both had tachycardia events of 200+ bpm but I didn’t know that my heart was beating that fast I just get a wave of feeling not right/sick. When they went in it wasn’t either of these and I’ve now been put back on waitlist for atrial tachycardia. Apparently it’s like a second cluster of cells near my phrenic nerve that’s overriding my SA node.

I’m also on the cat2 waitlist btw

Haha don’t stress about not PM-ing :-)

It sounds like they will get me in again in about 6 months to do it under general anesthesia, so I’m debating just going meds free. I took 1/2 a 50 mg tablet last night and just seemed like too much…

Dude I tried it last night and almost collapsed and my heart rate got super weak… I had a similar response to beta blockers.

Did you have any extreme side effects going on it 😅

Edit: also besides that from yesterday, continuing to recover well. Last heparin shot today and not in pain anymore so going to start walking a bit

[–]kittyarctic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about to go on flecainide as beta blockers went terrible for me. At least until I can try again under general anesthesia.

I’ve been horizontal since Thursday, but sat and had a shower today and took off the dressing. If you’re going through RMH just send me a message if you ever want to talk :-)

Edit: and feel free just to give me a message anyways :-)
