I have a confession to make. Sometimes when I'm cooking something in the oven/air fryer and it says to turn at half way... I don't. And it's fine.

Feels like I shouldn’t have woken up this morning. The state of the world at the moment is indeed grim.

With the Bondi incident yesterday Iran has launched a drone attack on Israel.

It’s bound to escalate ever further now.

Avocado, Basil, Goat cheese, Chili oil toast.

Okay, need to news detox. I usually stay away, but I have just gone down the rabbit hole. A bit too much to bear. That said, extra squeeze your loved ones.

Now, might be time to get a delicious brunch.

Why's it so quiet up in here. I wanna here y'all's thoughts.

I'll go: I like the Dixie Chicks, and I dislike that they were pressured into rebranding to 'The Chicks'

Ok so 20k steps and a big day at the gym requires more than 10 hours sleep.

I feel fuuuuuuucked.

Sat through new Bluey. Many feels

Rolling a roach out of the hard paper my Centrelink letter was printed on: true blue Aussie battler stuff right here, folks ✌️🤘

I feel like I have wasted this whole weekend. Been feeling flat and neauseus and have not been able to stop falling asleep. I know it's stress and a few digestion things I can't get right but I am sick of crashing when I finally have a day to myself. I looking around at the cleaning and washing and week prep I have to get done now and feeling anxious. Sometimes my body and mind are not my friends.

I really hate everything to do with education and careers. So much bullshit red tape on pretty much everything I want to do :/

took days of tweaking settings and programs and have finally gotten my overheating computer under control 🤞 I hope it stays that way

I wanted to sleep in. Brain says no.

I'll do tonight's new thread.

Oh yeah and my current stick vacuum is now having issues with clipping the canister back on after emptying so I did just order the vacuum cleaner I had my eye on. I'll possibly still use the crappy one til it dies. Maybe for when I drop the next jar of instant coffee or some kind of gross mess

A few drops of unscented dish soap in warm water did remove a little of the greasy/grimy ear drops residue from Melbcat's fur. I could see some dirt came off on the cloth, but not that much. I'll just keep making gentle attempts with it very well diluted in water on a facewasher. I could suds up more directly but don't want to do that near her eyes, it might dry her skin out, and she isn't going to let me pour water near her face to rinse it all properly.

I've put on earmuffs and done one room with the screamer vacuum. It's wobbly and coming apart a bit down the centre but the new one is coming soon. Maybe I can even use it more without worrying about burning it out. Melbcat was actually more chill with the noise than usual, coming past while it was on to have some water and approaching to let me know to scoop her box. I do have her on quite a high dose of Zylkene.

Quiz?

Pork hock is now stowed in the slow cooker with carrot/celery/onion base, a shit tonne of garlic and some spices. Looking forward to quality pork stock and some super tender meat by about 9 pm this evening.
