I'm officially half way through the A2 milk study. Just filled in the mid-point survey, where I got to update the on the exciting gassy digestive developments as a result of the milk change. This week is better than last week, but I am looking forward to going back to standard milk.
Diagnostics have come back on the crap car: No fault. So that's a bit odd. They are hopeful a cleaning has resolved the issues. I'm unconvinced. But hey, if its still faulting after this I'm telling them they are buying it off me.

I am now on my third rabbit hole for the day (gonna cut this short in a second to go walk 4km to get the keys cut and walk back for some badly needed exercise). Which is about liver enzymes and psychotropic substances. Caffeine, antidepressants, even hormones (progesterone and estrogen/estradiol).
All I can say is - I am NEVER touching grapefruit ever again. Gonna have to look at earl grey with some suspicion too (I know one aunt has very bad reactions to bergamot).
The mornings are so nice. Mild , quiet, still a few stars around and the air is full of oxygen and the smell of nature ๐ค๐ ( plus little Bill Cat snores )
Does anyone get medical certificates from the chemist? Not feeling great today so called in sick, boss wants a certificate which is fair. But my doctor doesn't have any appointments today, and a $20 cert from the chemist will cost me less than going to a new clinic (no where around me bulk bills anymore or has appointments today).... My boss can't reject a chemist one right?
That, or you can get one for $19 from Instant Scripts. Helped me heaps when doctors stopped bulk-billing. They also offer one-off scripts as well, I sometimes get my anti-sads from them as I often forget to go to the doc for a new script lol.
So, I was looking up the actor of Tim Kono in Only Murders In The Building cos he looked kind of cute. Turns out the actor is half Japanese in real life, his sister Frances was on the first season of Terrace House. But reading through the Japanese websites... Boy oh boy the family drama!!!
wall of text
His mum, Aki Mizusawa is an actress/former sexpot known for stirring up a bit of drama: aside from various financial schemes and reported flings, she was apparently abusive to the kids - Frances left home at 15 due to feeling put down next to her more talented brother, and Julian apparently went to Brown Uni out of fear of his mum (who claimed her strict parenting was what made him successful).
Both claim that she beat them, kicked them, spat at them... but they seem to have reconciled in a weird way. I think Julian and Aki actually publicly made their allegations on Japanese TV back in 2011, and years later, Frances, who was estranged for a long time (her mother only got back in touch after seeing her on Terrace House, natch) and had created her own career as a visual artist, acted with her mother on a show - although again her claim that she wouldn't forget her mother beating her was publicly aired on TV... Luckily she's stayed with her visual career.
And if that wasn't enough, their dad Guy Cihi (who their mother divorced after 7 years presumably because he wanted her in the house more rather than going out acting) is an ex English language teacher (they always are!) who was the original voice of James in Silent Hill... and famously turned out to go from being a bit of a self aggrandising dick who fans loved or hated, to a very vocal batshit Trumpian anti-vax QAnon conspiracy nut who even thinks AIDS is a hoax???
That was your rabbit hole for the day.
Ugh, worst part about the weather warming up is sleeping for night shift is horrible, woke up sweaty with a big fat headache.
Ahhhh and the trams are backed up and late.
