Having a couch day after way to much driving yesterday so I'm filling my time rewatching old Outnumbered eps, and man I forgot how un-pc the first few seasons are due to the time period. Also I usually dont pay any attention to this stuff but it came up when I IMDB'd the show, Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner ended up going for it after the shows end, wild!

:/ one of the housemates has got covid... I'm negative and feel fine at the moment, but we were in the loungeroom together last night for about 3 hours, so I'm not confident it'll stay that way

You might have a sore throat for a week 🤷‍♂️ you should eat some tinned fish (not related to the sore throat l, just a general suggestion)

I’m stuffed after a meat pie with veggies and some French fries.

Dare I make an after dinner perculator coffee?

Exercises have been done after having eaten my vege dahl and rice and homemade chicken nugs, and I wish I'd done them this morning.. I got caught up in laundry and kitchen things, and then realised we were out of Miniest Peeler's fave cheese (Great Ocean Road Extra Tasty. She won't eat any other cheese 🤷🏻‍♀️). So off we went on an adventure of sorts to buy cheese and ended up also buying a gigantic bear from Vinnies, I mean this thing is taller than Eldest Minipeeler. So we had to carry it home on the bus; it was cumbersome so I ended up with it's legs over my shoulders and it's head bumping my bottom as I walked. I bought new shower curtains which liven the bathroom up a bit, and also a long roll of non slip stuff to put under the hallway runner as it's always moving around and annoying me because I have to fix it, or trip over the bumps. Now I'm tired and just want to go to bed but Eldest wants to play a game and cracked the shits that I don't feel like it 🤦🏻‍♀️ so now I feel bad!

My brain: Here, have an illogical anxiety flare right at bedtime.

Anyone know where I can purchase 1 small (~5mL) travel amber glass spray/atomiser bottle at a retail store anywhere either close to Highpoint or the inner city?

Exactly like this, unfortunately any that are available are like 50mLs or so but I just need a tiny one

Thanks!

Work prompted us to start thinking about taking leave over the xmas/ny break (same as every year) and it seems like a good idea to start planning for it now rather than leave it until the last minute like I did last year. Every year before last year I was in a position at work where I could justify being essential support staff while others went off on leave, then I'd take my leave when they got back from school holidays. Last year and now this year I'm no longer in a support role so I had to and have to take some leave.

Last year I ended up paying a fortune in hotels doing a road trip up to the gold coast and back because it's the most popular time of the year to travel and hotels do be gouging. I was lucky enough to win it all back gambling but you can't bank on that happening.

The last thing I want is to be sitting here alone in my apartment as the new year rings in, as I have a few times before, so what to doooo... drop some coin and go on a cruise? Another road trip?

If you had a couple of weeks to fill and money isn't really a consideration, what would you do?
