On the one hand, it's great to feel useful and to be doing stuff for family.

On the other, I totally forgot how easily drained I can get by being around loud people all the time. @_@

As much as I want to wean myself off screens, I am also glad I brought my devices...

Very early night. Goodnight everyone ❤️

Windy.

My security camera alerted me to a cardboard box crossing my driveway, and on our walk we followed a couch cushion blowing down the footpath. I also have a new collection of rubbish blown into the corner of my yard where it tends to gather (fortuitously it is the corner I keep the rubbish bins in).

12 bucks for a rump steak. Gotta love a country pub.

I have yet to find out if I am lucky or it's just really bad...

Too Good To Go app is actually damn good. Basically you can place an order at participating places to get a "surprise" bag of any food that's still good but they haven't sold. It's pick-up only as far as I can tell.

Got all this, and more that's in the oven heating up (this is two surprise bags) for $15.

At what point do I get worried my neighbour (whose name I don't even know) isn't on a long holiday and make a welfare call?

farken google sheets keeps shitting up my work screen suggesting I add pizzaz with tables!

Why don’t they take some of that AI they keep stuffing everywhere, get it to look at the data, realise it’s not table data and then shove it up their arseholes sideways

Back in Melbourne 😭 I love this city but 😭

Slept better again! So maybe taking the pill at 5am is a winner.

Fingers crossed

Had a vet house call. Apparently Ms Gibson is starting to get a little too "fluffy".

The patient was not amused lol

Melbcat’s kidney disease is progressing, probably because she can’t eat the medical food, doesn’t want to eat the home cooked medical diet or food with phosphate binder in it, and doesn’t like the low phosphate food I found. She only wants high protein food that are bad for her kidneys and my options for her intolerances are limited.

But there’s hope. I’m going to get her phosphate binders compounded so either they taste better or it’s a format I can directly dose her with. And there’s a different flavour of low phosphate non-chicken food she likes!!!

Expensive but this is why I pinch pennies so hard. I’m going to buy her this food

I've been noticing a lot of billboard ads from banks about scam and fraud prevention. I wonder if there's a new wave of paranoia about these things from AI because there seems to be more than usual

So fun to draw

O Yarrabyte, Yarrabyte, whence art thou Yarrabyte?
Denied thy Briongloid and refused thy calling.
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my request
And I’ll no longer be a Spudtato.

Bubs has a uti and is having sneezing fits. Back to the vet! I also need to get one of her meds compounded so I can make her take it.

I drink my coffee too slow while working so it always end up cold before I finish it and have to microwave it to be warm again. It's a shameful habit but I can't seem to drink it faster. I remember at my last job, others would guzzle their coffee like it was water. I'm a sip, forget and sip again type person.

Whenever I have a joint, I don't get the munchies. I can see how you can, I just don't feel the need to. Is there something wrong with me?

this milk allergy is making me utterly miserable, the meal replacement shakes , while so good for dieting just do not agree with me so I stopped , and then I had bread which had milk in it, the olive spread had milk, so that made me flare up again

I am going to have read labels carefully

in the meantime, to cheer myself up I;m going to make some olive bread, it's delicious and I know it will have no dairy 😸

Something I didn't anticipate when I stopped taking suboxone, was that there would be days where I was neither happy nor sad.

Just.. Neutral.

It's an alien feeling.

I didn't pay enough attention to the recipe for the last meal kit item I was going to make for dinner and just assumed it would be in the typical 30-60 mins timeframe. But it is slow cooked for at least 2 hours. So beef stew has now been reschedulted for tomorrow night and I've got some sausages and bread rolls defrosting for tonight instead.

olive bread is in oven , sausages will go in oven once the bread is done

that's bread and dinner for tomorrow too, tomorrow will be a busy run around day for me 😊

Movie review

Aguirre Wrath of God. Werner Herzog. Rewatch also read an essay about it.

Very beautiful movie. Filmed on location in the Amazon jungle. Compelling story of violence and survival. Werner survived Klaus.

Nihilist to the extreme. What was the point, success is nothing , failure is nothing.

The point is if there is no point then live well and see the beauty,

Book reports. 😊 Two little books about New Zealand I bought on holiday. Kiwis and Moas and New Zealand Tress and Ferns. Who knew kiwis were so aggressive! Moas are huge. Both were tasty. The trees and ferns are all very pretty. Opinion that NZ is to Australia what Australia is to the world confirmed, it's a very weird and pretty place with unique plants and animals.
