Chicken tenders cut up, spinach, onion, capsicum. Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepperberry, mixed herbs (lol), sesame seeds.
To be added: pasta and cheeeeeeese
This rain noises sleep track isn’t working. It just makes me want to pee a lot.
And a lightening bolt to the dick of your imaginary garden gnome.
You, me and the apocalypse marathon. I regret nothing
There was a fly lol
Went to a barbie tonight. Had a few drinks. Cleaning Sunday maybe compromised.
Fridays are for cleaning, then you have weekend feee
This brings me joy.
4 day weekend, you’ve got time baby.
We cleaned today in anticipation.
True.
I do not lie Habibi
Back in one piece and now the process of operation de-bug guts begin…
They just love going kamikaze on me. Just me. ‘Cause I fully look like I love massive amounts of bug guts smeared across my line of sight.
What’s the plan to get rid of them?
Oh, it’s just cleaning my gear. Little bit of soapy water and elbow grease is usually sufficient for my gear. Bit gentler for my visor.
Still have to wash my bike at some point, so there’s that.
Onions and mushrooms cut and fried. Massive bowl of it that should last a good few days.
Air frying chicken tenders to be all assembled with Turkish bread and some sauce.
Bon appetite!
I think that looks bloody good!
Yumm.
Ended up making a shit tonne of food, in addition to the dal and the slow cooked jackfruit, made a massive broccoli and pea and cashew curry that is bloody delicious if I say so myself. Not much progress with the jars and haven’t started pantry cull yet. But I don’t mind because I have momentum and a plan… and had a few nice family chats today so that was worth it.
Downside is I’ve picked up a nasty headache out of nowhere this arvo. I’m going to dish out this food, chuck everything in the dishwasher (I will fucking miss this dishwasher), finish the leftovers and call it a day. Gotta love winding down to Fresh Produce on PBS
Your food sounds awesome! Sometimes I get a mid afternoon headache from standing at a prep bench all day. It’s something to do with the angle of your neck. I hope you feel better soon!
Oh, I hadn’t thought about neck angle at all! That’s something to keep in mind. I’m really glad to read that you’re feeling better too despite the Dr being unhelpful the other day. Here’s to a restful and healing night for us both.
I hope you feel better soon.
Give yourself a gentle shoulder shrug or three and see if you can feel any points of tension.
Pop some nurofen or panadol if you have any with your meal and that might make you feel better.
Thanks. Had some Nurofen earlier which did nothing. I am gonna have some again, plus extra water as I think I’m dehydrated. I suspect it’ll be better once I wake up. Feels like it was a reaction to something. So tired! I’m going to take it easy when I get back tomorrow.
Things feel pretty hopeless lately but I’ve got a furry baby asleep on my chest so I stick it out
I’m glad you two have each other <3
House got cleaned. Cars have been washed and detailed. Nap has been had. Time for some Pho!!!
Perhaps a movie later.
Mmm, Pho! What movie are you thinking?
Settled on Blues Brothers.
Watched it last night (favourite of all time), and kids haven’t seen it l, so watching it again.
Went for a walk down at Point Nepean and checked out some of the old structures. Fascinating stuff. So bloody thankful to live here! Now time for some drinks, music and chilling out!
Ahh i fucking love fort Nepean. Fun fact: first allies shots of both world wars were fired from down there
That link literally says people who think the wwi shot was fired from queenscliff are wrong
Yeah but we called it. Point Nepean missed though not our fault.
Yeah the command and barracks were (and still are) in Queenscliff, who the fuck would want to live on point nepean. There’s a reason they put the quarantine station out there.
From this side (bellarine) we call that “the dark side”.
I will wave at you from across the bay :)
But… like… do you have cookies?
Yeah I’m definitely finding it hard to relax. There’s always this nagging in the back of my mind “you’re wasting time, do something more productive”.
It sucks and I don’t know how to stop.
I often feel like I’m “not allowed” to do nothing, especially when there is housework or similar I “should” be doing. I feel enormous guilt at the “wasted time,” even though it’s actually really important. My parents especially would have frowned at the periodic inactivity, but they aren’t living my life.
Yeah, and I was so antsy I couldn’t even focus to be productive. Make it make sense.
That’s the exact feeling. So i end up walking laps around the park near my house.
I don’t even go for walks anymore because my block has ferals
It’s self care. It’s okay to have leisure time, in fact it’s normal and human and healthy. Do your best to quell those self sabotaging thoughts and enjoy! You’re allowed to enjoy things guilt-free, but if you require permission then it is granted 😂
Permission accepted :)
I think you’ve just got to come to terms with that it’s not a waste of time and just gradually change your viewpoint on things.
You’re having some recreational time to yourself, would you feel any different if you read a book, listened to a podcast, movie or watched tv or did something socially?
I think this is left over from when I wasn’t working. It’s left an imprint on both my space and my state of mind.
Going to have dinner and try to settle into some gaming :)
my hooooooles
we ran out of gravel and fucks. off for more tomorry
Ooh that’s looking good.
Very impressive!
So what actually is going on here? What’s the pipe?
drainage. Our land slopes, the previous owners put in a brick retaining wall for a level garden bed. It had zero drainage, so was essentially a bathtub. The pipe is socked 65mm AGI, the arms slope down to the centre line, except the last one that the centre slopes into, and then goes out a drilled hole that will hook into further drainage. Finish gravelling over the pipe, fold the geotextile over like a fat sausage, kick the dirt back and then later putting in decorative dividers that will mimic what used to be a pile of concrete and brick bed dividers I painstakingly dug out.
previous hole pics
Aha! Yes I get it now. Very impressive. That’s a lot of work 🍻
Art supplies have been obtained . I got 4 tombow calligraphy pens in classic ink colours
I haven’t seen you post up your calligraphy in awhile now that I think about it.
I haven’t done any in a while. Just spent too much time sick in bed this year, at least 4 months 😔, and the rest of the year was doing big house cleaning and sorting
Took the Minipeelers out for an ice-cream and walked along the local creek. It’s a windy, polleny kind of day but it wasn’t unpleasant, not along the creek path anyway. Cut some of a plant outside that had keeled over for some reason. Did a couple of loads of washing and cleaned the bathroom. Am procrastinating on the kitchen.
How are you feeling today?
Feeling a lot better thankyou! Just keeping up with the cortisone and calmoseptine and the rash has almost completely disappeared on my arms. How’s your day going?
good to hear you’re getting better 😘
Thankyou!
Apart from the late wake up I’m doing well.
Done some chores, washing is on and I’m fully stuffed from a meal and drinking coffee on the couch with the women’s cricket on at the moment while I chill with my ps5 today.
I’m glad to hear you’re doing better and that the rash is doing a lot better. It’s a great feeling as it gets less and less painful.
Hmm 🤔 coffee 🤔 I think I might have to have me one of those!
