Guy next to me in the laundromat just discovered his airpods in the dryer while taking his nice, dry clothes out. RIP.

Fuck yeah YarraByte rocking up with the goods. Nice one Brion.

Woke up with a raging headache. Had a lil spew, some ibuprofen, my anti-sads, and some plain bread.

I slept from like ~8pm to ~11am, and I must have slept like an crooked croissant again.

I'm starting to feel normal again.

And hello Yarrabyte! Love the name! And I look forward to your basking in you bot-presence!

What did I miss, we have a bot now? Awesome stuff! Thankyou to whoever used their clever know how! Today was a bit of a nothing day for me. Have lots of chores to do this weekend but have done none so far. I guess I’ll have to cram it in tomorrow, but yeah that’s probably just wishful thinking. Then I’ll feel annoyed at myself and sad for not planning better and being more motivated. In the evening I have dinner at partners friends place, not super keen on going but feel obligated, which will round off my bleh feelings for the day. So that’s my Sunday sorted.

Just finished watching adolescence. Faark. That was amazing but ... Faark.

I have to start thinking about dinner - do I do finches & chimps or unfreeze something?

I don’t care for Lord of the Rings. I said it. I’m a pariah with a capital P.😔

Forgive me DT & especially Bottom_racer for I have apparently lied to you all.

It turns out that when putting my shoes on, I do in fact go left first when sitting down. It's only when standing up do I go right first.

Please accept this apology and I appreciate your understanding.

Parkrun PB in sunny Lalor this morning. Quite happy with that actually. Now at the stage where I'm enjoying running rather than feeling like it's a punishment.

Good morning YarraByte. Are you here to supervise?

Oh my bedroom was dusty 🫣 but now de-feraled, clothes away. Floors done. Dusted. Bathroom spruced. Gonna have a shower and give that a wipe down while I am in there. Not perfect but feel like I am back on an even keel cleaning wise.

Nearly time to crack a beer I reckon

Brunch chess and coffee with friend soon, then nothing else all weekend. PERFECT!

it is noon

i should get up and go to work

Hey hey, I’m off to the gym

I crashed out after my walk. Now I must arise again.

🔋

Gym accomplished.

I require sustenance, and then will embark on a day of domesticity. I have

• washing to do
• dishwasher to unstack, then reload and run as needed through day
• mushroom risotto to make. Some for the week, some for the freezer
• Thai basil chicken stir fry to make. Some for the week, some for the freezer
• pots, airfryer components, knives chopping boards etc to scrub, disinfect and give suitable TLC.
• Chook’s cage to clean and rearrange
• Cockroach baits to put down. I do not, as far as I know, have cockroaches…but someone else on my floor does. Proactive de-roaching?

It will be productive, but the nice/chill kind of productive

Car hunting is not going well. I tried to make an enquiry and the car sales website decided to block me for "suspicious behaviour". There does not seem to be any options to get around it. WTF sort of business does that?

Sky dark. Pavement wet.

Washing done ✅

Risotto made and ready to be portioned ✅

Dishwasher unstacked ✅

Whatever shoe is closest, I reckon, but it’s always sock sock shoe shoe

Nice, the bot is working. I was trying to make one but got stuck in permissions hell with Docker

Bunnings trip accomplished. The snags at Fairfield were particularly good today - tender and juicy and full flavoured. Bunnings was, well, Bunnings. I have a feeling that that store is running down it's stock - or maybe is waiting on delivery from China etc. Distinctly empty shelves. Does anyone know when it's closing down in favor of the East Preston/Reservoir one?

Stir fry made and portioned ✅

Roach traps down ✅

I have Andouille sausage, smoked Kransky, and eye fillet. I guess it’s meat night.

There were a lot of pumpkin blossoms this morning. I’ve pollinated the open female flowers and have a total of four potential pumpkins now.

I need to look more carefully though. Was moving a flower aside to see if any more females were budding underneath and then realised my hand was like an inch away from a bee inside it. 😨Luckily I didn’t end up needing the epi pen.

It's matcha time 🍻

I have arisen. Wattle birds are fighting over prime spot in the big gum tree. Might go walk down to the water before Marge gets here

My migraines occur due to a shoulder imbalance. My right shoulder raises up (like a shrug that's stuck) and rolls forwards.

I asked chatgpt to give me some ideas on how to deal with it.

It gave me some exercises. I did 2 of them. The pain reduced significantly.
