Yeah so here’s a piece of advice:
Dont increase your protein intake to the point where it accidentally becomes your only fuel source.
Ask me how I know :(

Farts that can wake the dead?
Eagle@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Cards make you happy. Had gestational diabetes some years ago. Went very low carb to control sugars. Was very cranky bitch for the entire pregnancy.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Yeah I have to say, I’m prone to the occasional low mood, but I don’t think I’ve ever been as angry and tired as I have the last few days. Lesson learned
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Lipids / Fat is also an important macronutrient, particularly for hormones. Unless medically directed I think we should all be getting our kilojoules from all three sources.

Today’s been really hard. I might go to bed
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
May your evening be nice and calm!
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Have a good rest. Hopefully tomorrow sucks less
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
rest up, seems more than a few people are having a hard time
I fell asleep at my desk just before
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Got some good news regarding my car but there’s still a month for which the rug could be pulled. Crossing fingers and toes!! Here’s to another month with Moaning Myrtle and then a new red zoomie car.

mental health and sleep
My sleep has been fragmented ever since Saturday’s meeting. I’m trying not to read into it too much and not beat myself up for being silly after one date. It’s really easy for me to feel something off in my body and wonder if it means something is wrong. Of course my brain is catastrophising, telling me that I’m in a lose-lose situation that’s going to end badly and I should run before I get hurt. I might actually go for a run today. It’s about time I start, it’s been a goal for ages. I spent a lot of time in the past ignoring when my body telling me something was off. I think I’m scared of doing that again. Just because I feel a certain way, doesn’t mean things are that way.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
hugs
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Thanks Seagoon ❤️
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
That sucks. Sounds really stressful. Was there anything that stood out as making you feel uneasy?
Good friends or a therapist could be useful here or even a journal can help see any patterns of behaviour.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
There wasn’t really anything in particular that made me feel uneasy, but my body is just having this visceral reaction. I think it’s the uncertainty and the expectations I’ve subconsciously placed on the situation. I think I might get in touch with my therapist again. Or at least visit the GP to get a mental health care plan for a different one. Don’t want to have to go through the whole thing of having to introduce myself again and go through the formulation process but if that’s what it takes…
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Ok it’s my turn to start no sleep club for tonight. Wide awake for no reason.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago

I catnapped but didn’t make it the whole way through.

Chiming in. I slept like shit

I slept weird because of cats being adorvs, today’s gonna be a harsh one
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Kiss from a rose is a normal song, but it’s so weird how it git included in the Batman Forever soundtrack. The music video is Seal walking around a rooftop in an open shirt with the bat signal behind it.
I need to do some reading if there’s anything out there about it, because why is it a batman song?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Whilst not fighting crime batman was a rosarian.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Seal was in line to play a villain in the movie, but the writers/directors/producers couldn’t find a way to fit him into it. Since he had a contract, the parties agreed that one of his songs would be the main feature on the soundtrack. He had the song recorded for another album, but this would have given him more exposure. So they shot the video as Batman themed, and I’m completely making this shit up.
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
needed a love song
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Still wrecked. All that’s different is that I had a couple of hard gym sessions Friday and Saturday.
Went for a walk around the block this morning to feed the cats and by the time I got back I was fucked.
Annoying.
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Check yo iron levels. They’ve been repurposing that mountain of covid casettes for things like FE tests and fun stuff so you can get a basic normal / abnormal test at the chemist cheap as
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I might do this, thanks for sharing!!
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It is beautiful outside!! Sitting outside under the fairy lights, enjoying the beautiful evening. Here’s wishing for a restful night for you lovely peoples! 💤

bread turned out well
housework mostly done
just mostly relaxing here
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It’s time to throw out my frypan. Shit went down hill when YL tried to recreate a butter chicken dish using frozen crumbed chicken tenders. It hasn’t been the same since.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Don’t touch hexclad. I made that mistake and ditched the pan after just a couple of uses. EVERYTHING sticks to it and it’s a bugger to clean. Don’t believe the advertising.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
For non-stick I have a tefal one and a esteele one. The esteele I like much better. When the tefal carks it I’ll replace with esteele. More expensive but they regularly go on sale at Myer or DJs.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Tefal is what I normally buy. I buy when they’re half price at Coles. They last about 5 - 6 years for me.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
A+ for innovation…but umm…yeah
Any idea on what kind you’re buying next?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Coles have a promo right now. I looked at the frypan and it looks alright to me. I believe it’s Kitchenaid.
I look for 3 things. Light weight, easy to clean and non stick.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I wonder if I’d get in trouble for starting a Go Fund Me to buy more cutlery for the kitchen at work.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
you can get cutlery for 20c a piece at op shops
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
With the rate cutlery disapears around here that could still be expensive. And the increased demand would probably wipe out the op-shop supply and lead to higher prices. Unless they take trade-ins, we have something like 100 knives and only one solitary spoon.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Unkaos. I managed to fill two paper shopping bags with stuff that won’t be worn or no longer fits.
But the downside is I have to find some new clothes that are comfortable
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
got a decent look at the small squeaky beast that’s been investigating my compost heap and look. I’ve had pet mice and I’ve had pet rats, and that thing actually looks like a dunnart!
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
In the right area, and lots of reserves nearby for the White footed Dunnart - it just might be! Long nose, notched ears, furry tail all present?
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
couldn’t see the notch, but the excessive tail length, extended snout and rotundness were all very present.
Another reason it can’t be mice: We know for a fact there are rats in the area. And mice are fucking terrified of rats
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Today felt like an autumn morning. I know we’re not there yet, and tomorrow’s gonna be warm…but definitely has that crisp autumn feel.
tone212_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I saw a tree (a single tree) changing colour too, this with the gloomy cloud and cool added to the autumn vibes.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I love autumn, but not ready for it yet. Also, need more rain to be autumn. My lawn is essentially straw.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
yeah, i better get back to sleep
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Urgh. I feel like crap. Body aching, oily hair, can’t seem to shift myself to do anything.
Melbcat seemed to be wheezing or dry retching which is a concern. I’ll keep an eye on it.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
power is back on 👍
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I found a really cool/tacky pair of jeans. Still fit (if rather tight) but way too banging to wear around the scrubs in this area.
I’ll keep them in the cupboard for when I join a Guns ‘N Roses cover band…

I just need to find them homes now and I’ll have done my part.
