    day 487 of The Snottening

    I no longer feel hunger. My stomach is full of snot. I subsist now entirely upon my own mucus. All drains are clogged. Bins overflow with tissues.

    My terry molloy davros impression is fucking spot on tho.

      Ensure and small amounts of protein you can easily eat - whether that be small tins of tuna, soup, of Slim Jims kept by the bed.

      I find protein is really important for the immune system. Heaps of fluid and Panadol.

      Marmite toast is another good one (B12 really helps as does vitamin C tablets)

        food is no longer required. All is snot.

      Have you considered that you may have whooping cough

      the first month or so of it is just more snot than you have ever seen in your life

    Feeling grumpy, sad and defeated right now. It seems like just when I’m getting things in order, other things just fall apart.

    Just in a low mood this morning. It’ll get better.

    I now have a giant pot of stew on the stove. 2.5kg of meat, there will be many serves to go in the freezer. One nice thing about doing such a large batch, it makes it worth the effort of using the food processor to dice the vegetables.

    I have also organised breakfast and lunch for the next two days at work (salad & ham/lamb rolls for lunches, bacon, egg & cheese muffins for breakfasts)

    I am currently contemplating making a cake. There is a risk if i do that I could eat the whole thing.

    • SaneMartigan@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I love my food processor for chopping in batch cooking.

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Discovering I could get a dicing attachment was a game changer. Being able to chop everything into perfect evenly sized cubes is fabulous.

    Got back from the beach yesterday. Looks like the wind has done me a favour:

    Image

    Already in another dispute w/ the dude next door so this will force his hand lol. they’re doing renos and not there (nor do they respond to emails) so fuck knows how long that’ll take to fix.

    Also the cherry blossom is very much indicating it’s spring:

    Would be 40+ yrs old.

      That cherry blossom is so beautiful!! I hope the fence issue doesn’t take toooo long to sort!

      source
      • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Would have to be my fave tree. Couple of weeks until it’ll be full tilt, then one gust of wind aaaand… it’s gone. :(

        Fence will probably take ages. Other dispute is already 3yrs old and counting lol.

    Oooh, finally got to try the hot food at the Japanese Canteen I’ve heard getting hyped up and OH MY GAWWWD it was not being overhyped at all. Pork katsu, amazing curry sauce and the best veggie stuffed potato salad I’ve had,. Yum yum yum!!

    Lovely morning with the niece. We played Uno Junior (which she won of course! I’ve never in my life player Uno 👀😂), we did some colouring, and played fetch with the dog.

    Now I have to go out and get green nail polish - I have every other colour EXCEPT HER FAVOURITE COLOUR WHICH IS GREEN 😭😂

    source
    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Uno is so fun - Uno flip is even more fun!

      Good luck with the nail polish hunt - what shade of green does she lean towards? Forest? Neon? Aussie Aussie Aussie Oy Oy Oy green?

      I sowed nasturtiums, California poppies and alyssum in the pots to attract and feed them.

      Ideally it would have been Australian natives but I used the annuals I had

      source
      • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        it will be beautiful 😊

        maybe I should grab a pack of Cali poppies and sow them around here

        on the west coast of US they are a wild flower and grow every where like a weed, so pretty, in cracks in pavements, vacant lots, they pop up in gardens

    I thought Miss Meow was just exploring the spare room yesterday, but apparently it was sabotage - she switched off my chest freezer! Fortunately I discovered it before much damage was done. There was some meat which was starting to thaw out, but as I was pulling it out to defrost that’s actually a positive!

      She was hoping the meat would be thrown out for her to get at

    My step counter app says I’ve made my target of at least 6,000 steps 3 days in a row! 💪🏼 Did a quickie abs workout, which is one I’ve done before a couple of times and it’s tough (for me) but I like it. I found that my step counter app has some exercise routines on it, and I tried one out but stopped halfway through because I needed more room for it than I anticipated. My room doesn’t have much room 😆

    So pissed off. I found a youtube artist that has members only videos if you join but that would require having a youtube account. Which isn’t worth identity theft or getting doxed.
