  It’s not a headache. Pretty sure it’s covid. Feel the same as i did last time I had it.

  Ordered some rat tests to be delivered.

    Boo to Christmas covid!

    I hope it’s mild at least.

    Make sure you get a medical certificate so you can swap some of your leave for sick leave.

    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I hate to sound like a Grinch but I’ll be glad when Xmas is over. Now that I’m not working I’ve got plenty of time to feel how stressed out I am.

    I have to admit, I feel like a bit of a ping pong. I’ve got unexpected time off, but I don’t know how to relax into a “time-off” mode.

    There is always something to do. Even if I’m not doing something, my brain is.

  It’s 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. It’s been my family’s go to spot for holidays since about 1966 and while it’s 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.

      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.

  RIP to anyone who had hoped to go to the Grampians over xmas/NY. It’s not looking great especially with the scorcher predicted on Boxing Day.

  Today I need to go water two friends’ plants and sort out the crap I’ve left at one place. I’m loathe to face the small pile but I WILL do it! And then plan my cooking for Xmas lunch as I’m working Monday and Tuesday.

  I’m almost wondering if it might be worth it to work from home on Sunday instead and cut short Tuesday so it’s less of a rush. Might just do that…

  Lol, just saw that Johnson & Johnson have a class action against them, because Phenylephrine does nothing for nasal congestion.

  I’m 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 I’ve 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 I’m 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 don’t know why it’s not considered basically a scam by the ACCC or whoever is in charge of that.

  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 I’d be gin and tonic and scotch finger biscuits — the kind with the chocolate on them.

  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 didn’t 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. I’ve 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 I’m 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 haven’t 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 I’ve got one that works, I’m mostly worried about energy efficiency
