  • Bloody hell, most of last week was this morass of depression and bleakness and everything seemed doomed, but I'm all positive and light and energetic today despite being up till 4am? What gives, brain? Is it really just the sun??? (It can't just be vitamin D because I take seriously big doses)

    Sheets all being washed and dried, haven't started packing yet but have a bit of a list. Much easier packing for warm climates. Must get to Leo's this arvo to get some gifts, and use up what's left in the fridge tonight. Looks like it'll be kale pasta sauce.

    • Might be that today seems a little bit brighter.

      I somewhat do believe that we have ups and downs like a biorhythm as well so it could be something like that.

      • I just wish I could predict my biorhythms a little better! I think sun (actually seeing it outside and feeling it on me) definitely helps but sometimes it just seems to change out of nowhere.

  • My adhd diagnostic appointment has been moved from the 23rd of November to this Thursday the 19th if October!!! Work is accommodating me for it and I am so stoked!! Nervous cause what if somehow despite my research, and doing the DSM5 myself, they tell me I don't have ADHD but genuinely so keen to officially be diagnosed and take further steps to be the best me ever. Thanks to the bank of mum and dad for helping me with the fee a month sooner then expected.

  • I plated up a giant piece of cake for myself and MissGod walks into kitchen, pokes me in the stomach and says, “feeding the little one ?”

    I fucking died…

  • You know what? I'm about to say it.. I don't care what anybody thinks.. Woolworths store brand milk is better than Pura milk.

    • Farmhouse blue. You won’t look back after buying that milk. It’s creamy goodness.

    • I drink a lot of milk and I prefer the supermarket brands, they're the level of watered down I am accustomed to.

    • I haven’t had Pura milk in ages but theres definitely a difference between the different milk variations.

      Oh hey by the way did you decide on getting a PS5? Spider Man 2 is looking like a real fine game.

      • I was close to just buying one but then the price jumped $150, so now I'm even less inclined buy one now that'll cost $900+ to just play Spider-Man 2. I'll just put it off for now and live without it. I got onto the first 2 Spidey games late so I can maybe just get onto this one late too. Do you have one?

  • Wargh, when I have a good day it's like I live in another realm and don't need to eat till 11pm and am effortlessly up till way too late going over everything 2454952 times - but I think The Stupid Project With The Boss that's been dragging on for far too long is finally, well and truly, completely, DONE as far as my involvement goes - I can draw a line through that now.

    A really fun project I quoted before got accepted after months, but I'm no longer going to be able to do any of the work on it, most likely. Bittersweet but still for the best. Whoever ends up going better be effing grateful they get to hike in and out of a very beautiful part of the world (and even camp overnight!) to look at plants and record some simple things 🥲

    We're now down to the actual thing I stayed on to do. Chances are it won't get done for a while but if I can set up the bones before I go I can chip away at it when I'm sick of family and when I get back. I want to be done by the end of November. Eyes on the prize...

  • I'm in trouble from Ted Cat. Either late for bed or not enough of his favourite cat food. 😬

  • These American true crime stories all start out the same.

    Bumfuck is a small town. Middle of nowhere. Everybody knows everybody. Everybody knows everybody's business. Nobody locks their doors. Everybody owns a gun or 2. Nothing ever happens here. It's a sleepy town you know.

    Alright I added a line in there but it's true.

  • This week off is supposed to be me setting a normal sleep schedule, but boy howdy is it hard not to just stay in bed because I don't actually have to be anywhere. At least this morning I did wake up at 8am like I wanted to, even if I am still tucked up.

  • I am pooped. I just finished cleaning the car. Why is it, sometimes no matter how much you soap the car up when you rinse it, you seem to have missed a giant patch. Happens to me every time.

    Can’t believe I’m also up to Alone S9. You think I’d get over it given that the premise is essentially the same, but I really dig it. Still solidifies I’d die in the wilderness if left to my own devices. I’m going to have to brush up on my apocalyptic skills. Hehe.

  • A fair few steps closer to finishing this drip system. Installed the backflow / filter pressure things and the air release / flush valves. All strapped in not a single leak ominous synth noises so far. Timers aren't hallucinating all looking good.

  • Got all the sheets and stuff washed and dried, woot!

    And I cleared out my fridge!! It might not look the most appetising, but this pasta in kale sauce is WINNING - and extremely cheap! Uses a few different pots but not hard to do at all and can be quite quick. Great way to use up heaps of kale as well... And not get the bastard stuck between your newly cleaned teeth...

    I also finally gave my rather dusty and overgrown prostrate rosemary on the balcony a long overdue haircut - this is about 1/3 of the plant's bulk, it was pretty much poking into the downstairs neighbour's balcony... There's too many dead flowers and gunk in all that shit, I'll try to clean up a bit but I think most of it is going in the green bin sadly.

    Kitchen's tidied, now to head to Leo's, pick up all the good shit, and make my bed (ughhhhhhhhghhghh but I'll thank myself for it later).

    The things you can do when the sun's out...

  • Air fryer update:

    Diced potato at lunch browned quite well and quickly, did not maintain crunchiness long - but was not prepped, just diced and sprayed with a bit of oil. A reheated veggie slice worked very well, it tends to be a bit soggy with all the vegetables and a bit of extra crisping on the outside worked well.

    For dinner I cooked pork schnitzel and some fennel. Both worked well - the fennel was very tough, but I think that is the fault of the fennel, not the cooking.

    Currently in progress: pear crumble.
