Thought I’d get caught in heavy rain on the way home, thankfully it was on little spits of rain though it got dark very quickly.
Really could do without the wind blowing so strong.
Took the day off. If I feel better later I'll jump back online.
Fuck this.
Totally bizarre online Doc appointment this morning. If I pay the extra for out of hours I expect the call to be then, eh? Missing a course I actually really wanted to do. Bollocks.
I have had an obsession with 'toasted' wraps this week. 'Toasted' meaning I am too lazy to get the sandwich press out and clean it so I put a bit of cholesterol spread margarine in a small frying pan.
It came about after I learnt a sandwich shop in Richmond were charging $16 for a tuna melt. I tried making a tuna melt myself. Wasn't the best, but maybe that was because I didn't add lemon juice or celery.
Today was Vegemite and cheese, with a side of vegetables so I could feel better about my choices after consuming potentially too much salt. Cheese and tomato also good despite the water content of tomatoes. I wanna try mushrooms next, but I feel as though they might be too watery. Maybe some chicken.
Place near my work does an amazing cheese and mushroom toastie. They add in pesto and use WAY too much marg, but it's fucking delicious. I might need to go and get one for lunch...
For mushroom and tomatoes, fry/grill them first before putting them into the wrap.
If cleaning is an issue wrap it up in foil and put into the sandwich press assuming it's flat style type of press.
26 years ago, when I was in prep/grade 1, our dance/music teacher had us sing and dance to Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In
26 years later, having never heard the song since, I can still remember how it goes.
Time to play the song and see if you can remember the dance too
I reckon every Aussie school kid starts tapping their foot out when they hear Nutbush.
I wish Tina Turner had come to Australia and done the dance lol
Trying and failing to turn off the sun
Woke up with migraine at 4am.
Pray for mojo.
My turn to be out on the Bellarine today for work. Ccccold. Wimdy
Also wish I could just hop over the bay it would be so much faster. Not looking forward to the 1.5hr drive back.
On a related note, why the fuck does a modern SUV (2022) with all the driver assist shit not have automatic lights, with the lit-up display I nearly started driving without my lights on while it was dark out. Idiotic
Been > a month since I've been down. Miss the place but not (!) looking forward to the weeds. Chilli patch is probably 90% oxalis by now :(
Yeah looking like prime weed weather these days. I am also traipsing through rows of rubbishy windbreaks dodging African boxthorn and mats of trad.
I thought all new cars had an auto light setting? I imagine it's something you'd have to select, no?
That's what I thought, hell, even my old 2011 hatchback has auto lights but this damn car does not have it as an option. Behold:
Why??!! And you'd think the solution is to then leave it set to on all the time (as the lights switch off when the car is turned off anyway), but some fool at work keeps changing it back to off grrr
Okay that's kind of funny. I guess old mate at work thinks that if you leave it on, the lights will be on all the time and the battery will drain?
In my subaru the lights went off with the car. In my toyota the lights stay on.
My old work Ranger would have light stay on, my current Toyota they turn off. I prefer the off option.
No idea. Maybe he's just used to doing it with his own car (which is much older, presumably like my old car - has no auto lights and lights don't switch off when the ignition is off). But really, bad design to begin with. Just have an auto lights option, Subaru!
cheesemares again
Hugs! I had weird dreams about moving house but my work was organising it and they wouldn't let me put my coats into a cupboard, the director kept insisting it should be a reading room instead. It was a cupboard!
ah yes, the reaction of people when you show up with The Cane. grrrrrr.
god dammit I was going to start on the garage this week
The prices on everything have gone up… Feeling guilty about spending ‘unnecessarily’ even though items weren’t bought for no reason.
spoiler
Melbcat’s calming supplement has gone up an eye watering amount and I’m wondering if she needs it every day. I could have just given her extra of a different medication but this was safer for her.
The ‘large’ litterboxes for senior cats also arrived and they are absolutely tiny. Even with the low side she’s not going to be able to use them properly much less step comfortably in.
I should have just cut down the sides of her existing ones but the thinner smaller ones tend to overly crack and have sharp edges, and the plastic of the large nursery trays is too thick unless I use a mini hacksaw. Which could be challenging.
I got a tub of Cerave cream because my face is being extra angry (despite me treating it better than I was?) and found one without niacinimide… Hope it at least is tolerable to use, not irritating or too heavy. I really wish I could use sorbolene or cheap vitamin e cream but there’s something in those that burns my skin.
I have some food grade glycerin that can be diluted 50/50 but that might still sting at this point. I’m thinking seriously about what else to try. My skin doesn’t react well to oil at all otherwise it’d just be the cheapest coconut oil.
Good night everyone. Sweet dreams. 😘
