Todayâs weather forecast (Melbourne CBD, 3000): min - 16°C, max - 21°C. 25% chance of at least 1mm rain
Itâs not a headache. Pretty sure itâs covid. Feel the same as i did last time I had it.
Ordered some rat tests to be delivered.
Laaaaaaaaame
Boo to Christmas covid!
I hope itâs mild at least.
Make sure you get a medical certificate so you can swap some of your leave for sick leave.
That is a damn good idea!
But yeah, hopefully itâs not too bad đ¤đž
I hate to sound like a Grinch but Iâll be glad when Xmas is over. Now that Iâm not working Iâve got plenty of time to feel how stressed out I am.
I hate how everything is up in the air, busy and then closed. Itâs a really disruptive time of year
I have to admit, I feel like a bit of a ping pong. Iâve got unexpected time off, but I donât know how to relax into a âtime-offâ mode.
There is always something to do. Even if Iâm not doing something, my brain is.
Im exactly the same.
NOOOOO I broke the 00:00:00 streak :(
Happy solstice day guys :)
It truly doesnât matter. An automated task would be out by a few seconds occasionally anyway.
If you are interested in playing with it, brisbotâs code is here. (Iâll edit this comment in a sec after I dig it up)
Oooh a map. I better pack a 2nd breakfast
donât forget a handkerchief
Ooh, fancy foreign butter. Many thanks.
that is my fave butter, I used to buy that one when i lived in Bru.
Yay. Thank you.
I love that I was actually expecting a box of puppies. đ
has anyone seen CEO, I have her box of puppies đ¤Ş
Strap in for a pre Christmas round of gastro gang!
Oh no.
I mean I almost read that as strap on, LOL.
Sounds about 10x more appealing than gastro.
Last gym sesh for the year complete
I hope it was leg day! Leg day is the most fun day!
Phew bro and sil only staying one night this xmas.
It gonâ be frosty in those high temps though.
This is your periodic reminder to plot the kidnapping of butters from his undeserving humans.
I am looking forward to butters. Shame about the rest though heh.
Should be thinking about starting to prep the cooking for Christmas Day but Iâm gonna read all day instead đ
I should clean, but Iâm going to read instead.
that sounds like heaven
Excellent choice. Cha readin?
I love this for you.
Itâs family xmas day for me - and the longest day of the year. For a number of reasons. One good thing is the venue is Somers on Westernport Bay, where my brother has a house. Itâs been my familyâs go to spot for holidays since about 1966 and while itâs changed a lot I still love it there.
Taking a hot-smoked trout with cajun spices for my contribution to the feast, and some toum.
May God give you strength.
Save me some trout đ
Oh thatâs sounds nice. Where do you get the trout from?
The deli in Richmond Traders - the one near the doors out to Church Street. Exxy but looks verra verra nice. They also had marinated sardine fillets, so I grabbed some of those too. Strickly for my own consumption.
Happy Gravy Day guys.
Keen to hear how @just_kitten@aussie.zone is doing this morning :)
Completely hunky dory, woke up before 7 even and while Iâve been lolling around in bed I feel good and normal with zero headaches. Just about to roll out and make myself an omelette. Miraculous!
đŤ have you tried to walk yet?
RIP to anyone who had hoped to go to the Grampians over xmas/NY. Itâs not looking great especially with the scorcher predicted on Boxing Day.
Today I need to go water two friendsâ plants and sort out the crap Iâve left at one place. Iâm loathe to face the small pile but I WILL do it! And then plan my cooking for Xmas lunch as Iâm working Monday and Tuesday.
Iâm almost wondering if it might be worth it to work from home on Sunday instead and cut short Tuesday so itâs less of a rush. Might just do thatâŚ
Hallâs gap is under an evacuation now as well :/
I wonder what happens to all the animals in the zoo they have there. Poor babies
Oh no. âšď¸ Fire related?
Making phone calls would be even more of a nightmare I reckon. More possible consequences and a pretty long tail of them.
Havenât had sex, but Iâve completely organically had entire conversations while blacked out
Is it Ambien? Boyo has some terrifying and hilarious tales from taking that.
Iâve never had blackout sex but I have tried to do deep fry dim sims whilst pretty much blacked out.
Not doing that again.
Sounds familiar. But have you tried sleep driving?
For like quite a while now I only have sex when Iâm asleep
Day 1 of holiday:
Savage migraine.
No! That sucks!
Do you have meds?
Just paracetamol and ibuprofen. Its eased a bit now but still bad in the back of my head.
If youâre wondering how much the 59g eggs at Vic Market weigh, wonder no longer. They are 65g each.
Lol, just saw that Johnson & Johnson have a class action against them, because Phenylephrine does nothing for nasal congestion.
Iâm like, we all knew that, so yay someone is holding them accountable. I did see people complaining how hard it is to get the proper stuff OTC, Pseudoephedrine, but Iâve never had a problem getting it from my little local pharmacy - though that may be because they know me by name now and they ping Iâm not a drug maker lol.
But yes, Phenylephrine does nothing for colds and flus.
There are some interesting YouTube videos about the history of PE. It really needs to be pulled from the shelves. I donât know why itâs not considered basically a scam by the ACCC or whoever is in charge of that.
The TGA (Australiaâs version of FDA) is the body that approves medication for sale in Australia. They should be all over this, but seem to be staying very silent.
Johnson & Johnson
Arseholes also lied about talc.
Yup!!! Disgusting ass company!
Iâm on holidays. đ
Feels good. Now to scramble for the remaining presents.
You know how in the Catholic/orthodox church you take communion by eating a cracker and drinking some port wine that represents the body and blood of Christ?
What are your two communion items that represent your body and blood?
I think Iâd be gin and tonic and scotch finger biscuits â the kind with the chocolate on them.
Gravy is made. Now awaiting my chook.
All the windows are washed and the back deck is pressure washed. Both fridges are cleaned inside and out. I might need something for a hard earned thirst.
Day #18 of 7 day gardening project. 16 more pots have been purchased. More soil may be required.
On the home stretch now.
ok guys Iâm going to the shops, including the big pet shop, an adventure store and miniso. Is there anything you want?
Quirks of moving I forgot about: getting confused, disoriented, and muscle memory breaking down. Got absorbed into a video early on my computer, and got really confused when I heard the blind on the small window behind me clank, because I didnât have a window behind me in the last place
Then I forgot where the door was and almost walked into the wall. Brain tried to autofill the space with what was normal a week ago I suppose
I think part of the reason this is affecting me more than when I moved into the last place is that this time the furniture and layout is very similar, but windows and doors are in different spots. It even looks similar to the last place in my peripheral vision, besides the lower roof. Iâve even got the same bed and desk just about in the same spots they were relative in the last place
On a more positive note Iâm excited about the possibilities of a gigantic floor to ceiling pantry! I could store so much stuff. After unloading what was about a 3 quarter full pantry from the last place into here, it looks like I havenât gone shopping in weeks and barely have anything. I do, however, have a much smaller fridge/freezer. It came with the house (along with the washing machine). I might ask for funding to get a larger or more energy efficient fridge before I turn 18 and it officially becomes my problem. Or failing that I might set up a saved search on guntree until something suitable comes along at the right price. Since Iâve got one that works, Iâm mostly worried about energy efficiency
I thought a bunch of cheese on my mini pizza hadnât melted yet. Turned out to be pineapple.
Bleh. Woken up with a headache today. Not a good start to the break.
Today is for cleaning and wrapping presents
