Going to see David Byrne tonight. It was my Christmas present from my daughter. Very excited. It should be a good night.

I have been a tired, grumpy mess all week for some reason. Going to take tomorrow off I think. Made my first 'significant' mistake at work in 6 months on Wednesday - giving someone completely incorrect information about their account. It was noticed today and I had to fix it up. It's not like me to do that often. All the more reason to take tomorrow off. Boss already knows I've been feeling off this week so I think it's fair, especially given this error I've made.
Owning and fixing a mistake is all good. It's when people try to hide their mistakes that there is any real issue. Take the day. Hopefully your nervous system relaxes, resets, and you feel better.
Mistakes happen, theyโll understand. Itโs more about not making the same mistake often. Rest up and go back fresh after the long weekend.
Definitely rest up and regroup, so far it feels like this year has been all Mondays
Got wokened up by rain on the garage roof. Not much, not really enough but very welcome.
My plans to not do much today didn't really work out. I've washed a load of sheets and of towels, vaccumed and mopped the floors, put away all the groceries that were delivered, cut up and vacuum packed three chickens for the freezer and made up 12 breakfast muffins, and made a batch of yoghurt.
I successfully distracted Mr Woof by eating a vegemite sandwich so he didn't even notice the groceries being delivered.
I've had a crumby afternoon. I turned all of the random bread crusts in the freezer into breadcrumbs. Some is drying to be used later, some has been turned into stuffing. I used some of the stuffing to make three mini rolled chicken roasts and have used some for dinner.

Dumplings & marmalade please chef, and some coffee if it's not too much trouble.
Slide of toast, slice of cheese, fried egg, chilli oil ๐
Whatever it is I'm craving but can't figure out please
Spaghetti Bolognese please! Instead of beef though, can you make the sauce out of tuna? Change accompanying flavours accordingly
Usually in the office we have a Spotify playlist on but today we have a commercial radio station and oh my fucking god I am so happy to be out in the warehouse most of the day. Every time I need to come up stairs my ears want to bleed at the screeching of the hosts.
Ran into this dog breed at the shops and had a chat to the lovely owner. It was very cute:

Apparently they protected monks.
To my eyes the only thing it could do is yap and at worst nip your ankle.
Combined alarm system and protection from the cold, most likely. The original self-heating blanket.
So dramatic, I love it!! It'd be so cool to meet one!
I saw a puppy shiba inu on my drive home last night and positively squealed with delight. I hope it's in my area and I get to see it again!
and here's a photo of an antique frame I fixed up this morning. I put in a small print by Charles Condor.
It's a scallop bevel edged glass frame with chrome plated clips.

Such a mood! Love it.
I love it too. ๐ Condor is one of my fave Australian artists.
small frame, 20 x 25 cm, very thick glass and in perfect nick, the chrome clips took a bit of work, had to polish with steel wool then use rust killer.
It kinda looks like a postage stamp
Giving a shit about someone's choice of phone is wanker behaviour. I'm amazed at the dickhead Aussies I meet traveling. I forget there are people who voted for Scomo and Dutton.
Turns out Iโm a teenage girl as well. Also who says that to someone trying to offer help? Oof hope they werenโt that rude to the locals.
Sunscreen & wilful barenness FTW. Though if somebody mistakes me for 17 they need a new optometrist

Be careful with anti aging products, they can irritate your skin or age you prematurely if not used very carefully (and at the time you need them).
Edit: if you use them you will need to be extra vigilant on sunscreen especially, as they can make your skin more vulnerable to sun damage. And itโs probably better to wait until at least your 30s. Or when your skin starts to need more help turning over and need the strong exfoliants. Please consult a dermatologist rather than just buy from Sephora.
What helped me most is sunscreen, moisturiser and genetics. What aged me most was poor nutrition, poor sleep, brief smoking and long years of stress.
New nail polished night!! Which colour should I go with? I've just taken off dark plum topped with blue/purple sparkles.
green and pink is what I'm going with tonight
Envy. I've not broken my long enough to paint in ages. Vote for electric blue ๐บ
Gold. Sparkles optional.
I don't understand some people. There was content gold at the end of this very expensive video part of work got made. I chopped 2 and a half minutes of other stuff off the start and made it vertical and it already started getting results before the end of the day.
just doing some chores tonight as I'm spending tomorrow looking after Ted. He has a visit to Lort Smith and will hopefully get his sedative so I can groom him. His nervous system is so sensitive I can't brush him, he can't bear it. So that means knots. ๐ฅบ
the excitement never ends
delivery order for cat litter done
Cat litter orders can be very exciting. I managed to set up two different accounts with cat litter subscriptions, one of which I couldn't access so I didn't realise existed. So I was getting bags of cat litter being randomly delivered that I wasn't expecting and couldn't stop. I finally twigged that I was getting emails to a different email address and managed to stop the ghost account, but I now have about 6 months worth of cat litter stashed.
Iโm expecting a silly package today. Delivery via Aust Post. Usually they would have delivered by now. Where package!?
Edit: Itโs here!
