Melbourne

Most work I’ve ever done for a bunch of flowers 😜

How are we doing no snacks after dinner gang?

Remember it doesn't have to go perfectly all the time. If you're hungry eat. If not, leave those snacks for when you are hungry. You've got this!

Kooka's Country Cookies are the best cookies. No other compares to the greatness of Kooka's.

Back home and defrosted after a lot of cold, cold, cold, and cold. It was good to have a solid weekend away and with different people doing stuff I never would've done myself, partly because it makes me redevelop an appreciation for being at home again. I definitely feel like I got away properly and cleared some of the cobwebs in my head.

Gentle house cleaning and chin tucks. Multivitamin.

I really need to start doing a small amount of dumbbell rows each day again, wtf is this posture

I hate when I come across shit like calculators. They still work, can't give them away, can't throw them out, already have 4 scientific calculators kicking around. I have no problem throwing broken shit out but when they still work I just can't do it as easy.

I'm making kofta for dinner.

I can no longer tolerate tuna pasta. I can eat the same thing for months, but it does eventually get old lol

Kofta is a success!

There's my dinner for the next 4 nights. Fuck yeah!

Shortly after I took this photo I said "hey, what are you upto chunky?"

And the incredibly angry meow I got back in return put me in my place lol

that’s a proper winter day

We just went to the La Trobe market. You can't best a good old school market with the guy at the fruit and vegetable stall constantly shouting

Trying to get used to Affinity products and getting a little frustrated. Adobe is the devil but boy-howdy do I know my way around those apps.

The last dose was given last night. No more horrible narnies! 🍌 Hopefully no more wrestling Melbcat either. Fingers crossed her tummy will settle down soon.

Edit: Switched up the food a little. Springwater tuna and tuna juice has been eaten! So she’s had her regular meds without a fight. Little legend.

I’ve been buying the fragrance free Coles laundry sauce and it’s okay (finding an unscented generic product is kind of like finding a unicorn) but I still prefer the Aldi version because it has enzymes. I hope I can get the chance to stock up.

Oh damn. Just woke up from a nap.

Dam, the new cafe has shitty snack packs. e: They're simple things to make well enough. Yet most places near me stuff them up in one way or another.

Watching Spy but randomly skipping parts of the start because i want o love melissa mccarthy but there's only so much 'woman does stupid clumsy things and accepts being treated as lesser by overtly misogynistic farps' i can stand before i try to leap through the tv and attack her and i'm already close to the limit because miranda hart is in this too. Also still running a fever so relaity is trnous.

Maybe i should watch llama face instead

I can feel my eyeballs pulsing

I’m remembering how I was working hard on skincare and health before the lockdowns… it feels like I lost all that and now have to start again from the bottom.

The Melb city ebook library is a bit lacking. I’d love to get physical books but they are too heavy to carry home ( hot desk - have to bring my entire life back and forth)

quiz

15/50 - candy - who knew?

Joining the Odd Sleep club - kept on stirring awake every hour or so, with weird dreams the last couple of times.
The one that did me in the end was dreaming I went to a once off client (I work in aged care) and first of all the car wouldn't move and I was somehow blocking both lanes, then when I got there the client thought he was having heart problems and we agreed we'd wait and see what happened and yeah, if he wanted to finish his electronics project go for it, it'd soothe him whereas I know damned well from first aid training and personal experience that when in doubt you Call The Fucking Ambulance. So basically I couldn't get back to sleep for going WTAF, plus the cats both using my shoulders as pillows.
Eventually got up and turned on the heater because my face was freezing - took a while for the cats to figure it out but now Zooks is on my lap on the couch. Sammi is probably being a mini-potat in the bed

i should’ve gotten up two hours ago but now im up and that is good

Vinyl finds today are a recording of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, the guys Bugs Bunny plays with. I have 4 of their records now, it's just like famous tunes and greatest classical hits but nicely done and a box set of Rusalka by Dvorak too. Last week I got a box set of The Merchant of Venice and over the next week I'll be playing all my Shakespeare records. :)

But mainly I took another bag of stuff to the opshop. 👍
