Bit rough out there.
So jumping in soon for the sunset swim. I believe this might be the arse end of the weather system / swell that hit the east coast a few days ago. Sometimes goes over that wall but like that not often.
That’s so cool and totally different to where I am. There’s a coral reef off the beach and rocks here and the water is always very calm.
My biggest client decided to call for a Friday late afternoon pow-wow which has properly fried my brain. Ready to check out mentally for the weekend. This week felt like a lot for some reason, but not as shitty as last week so we’re on the up.
Woke up in the middle of the night last night and wasn’t asleep after 15 minutes due to thoughts, so I put on an audiobook. Two hours later, I was asleep again but brain did not work. I collected worksheets from a couple of students and then two minutes later, I went over to them again asking for their worksheets. Boo
Work complete. Onward to babysitting
Well, first week is over.
Pretty tired but not in a bad way necessarily. Will be nice to have some time to just relax tonight and not be on a timer.
Have a few errands to run then it’s home sweet home.
How did it all go at work?
So far so good. Exhausted. Just staying awake long enough to eat dinner pretty much.
MissGod has completed the work experience week at the police station and courthouse. None of it super exciting but has made quite a few acquaintances with the local constabulary.
That’s probably the single most useful thing anyone can do on work experience. That is, learning that cops are people too (off duty). Police stations and courthouses is where the rubber meets the road in terms of peopleology too.
That’s so cool!
sounds good 👍
Mystery pakidge… details went to my work email, but had attempted delivery at home… very strange. Waiting for it to land at the post office so I can collect. Also waiting on delivery of new keyboard which will make life easier as this one is playing some wonderful tricks while dying.
Pakidge was iHerb delivery of Catalina Crunch goodies, mmmm!!!
Test patch says you will soon develop muscular elbows. Grey be gone.

Product review.
smitten natural plant based cat litter
when the cats use it it smells like evil rice bubbles made not with hot milk but cat pee 🤢🤢🤢🤮
I am never buying this again. 💩💩💩💩😷
Agreed. I buy it as an emergency bag. It’s good for not getting kicked everywhere, but has strong odour and isn’t cheap.
I think I’ll steer clear of that.
At the moment I’m using “World’s Best” cat litter which is made from corn and very low odour and Miss Meow seems happy with. I tried a tofu based one but Mr Woof thought it was a great snack.
Ew. I like the pine pellets, they turn into sawdust when they get wet and absorb smells well. Bit noisy but that’s ok.
include a shifting litter tray and you can reduce your litter usage as well.
Just like a chocolate milkshake only crunchy? 🤢
there is not much heating in this house 🥶
good air conditioning tho
Wool lined trackies and jumpers.
Get cozy on a personal level
yup, I put a long sleeve tee on under my jumper
Electric blankets are like $30 at Kmart and so worth it. There are also heated throws if you want it on a chair but they’re less warm.
Warning: There is a risk of having the heat source commandeered by furry overlords
heated throws are SO worth it!
we will survive 🙂
Mount Dishmore is getting impressive again… it’s all “soaking”.
I just remembered something though. You can’t use normal dishwashing liquid in a dishwasher (especially a mini one) because excessive foam can damage the machine. But somewhere recommended putting baking soda in the dispenser with 2 drops of dish soap. Maybe I could get away with using one drop with the bicarb.
I also know that vinegar reduces foaming (with a risk of damaging rubber pipes or seals if it sits).
It’s worth a shot. I already know I’m not getting a refund and the extra work of trying to manually scrub and rinse the strong soap off everything afterwards means it’s sitting unused.
Um, don’t know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but … Read the manual carefully. Check to see if there’s an outlet valve that’s not working properly. Clean any outlet points/valves/tubes with a pipe cleaner (the coloured ones for craft work well) or straw size bottlebrush. Even a small blockage may mean that rinse/wash water is re-circulating when it shouldn’t be. Also air bubbles in the intake valve may prevent proper water circulation so poke a pipe cleaner in them too (gently).
It fills from the tank but I have some pipe cleaners and can check it over
Rinse dishes immediately after use. Use half liquid or powder in the dispenser. Use the 1 hour or 3 hour function. Clean the filter with a children’s toothbrush and a small amount of dishwashing liquid. Don’t use dishwashing liquid in the machine. If you can see excessive amounts of foam then something is wrong. There should be very little foam or none at all. Don’t use rinse aid. Open the door after use.
Done it all, I just can’t hack the soap residue
Run the machine with nothing in it. No dishes, no detergent. When it empties at the end, see if water runs clear. Put a bit in a glass and check that too.
Will do
After you’ve collected a sample, leave it on the bench to cool and then give it a vigorous stir with a spoon. If there is the tiniest bit of soap you will see it.
just use a tiny bit of dishwasher powder, a tsp
keep the filter clean
and you should be ok
I have used barely any before and can still smell and taste it even after a rinse cycle. Baffling
ask someone else if they can taste it
or ignore it
