Low carb day today. Which is code for "oops, I forgot to pack the bread".

Breadless Breakfast

Coles texted me that my delivery couldn’t be made and to contact them. Gave me a small credit for it but they’ve still got hold of the main payment. /facepalm

Googled to double check it was the legit customer service number, talked to a robot on the phone who sent a chat link…

Clicked it and it did seem legit but the whole thing skeeved me out. Exited and used the online form which I should have done in the first place. I really don’t like texts about ‘issues’ with deliveries and being asked to click links to external sites. Even after asking a friend if it was safe Coles could really have gone about that in a less sus way. 😬

Thankfully I have enough to cover an urgent Woolies shop but I would rather they have just cancelled the order and refunded the money.

Ducked out early and picked up some chicken drumsticks. Not pleased that they went up on price amoungst other things.

Now I have to think about how to cook them and if I should combine them into a pasta sauce and eat it with pasta.

In other news the sun is glorious and nice and warm and I’m about to get some toast and make a real coffee

I'm big in Japan, tonight!

Yay, my first ever penalty rate shift at new jerb starts at 7. I'm physically a but stiff and sore, so the 5 minute warm up routine will be a must today. I also need to quit vaping. Now I'm fitter I can notice the crap way it makes me feel. I'll take my own advice I gave spud last night and use those nicotine lozenges. Probably just switch my addiction over, but at least my lungs can have a break. Vapes are waaaay to addictive and I was born a freaking addict which is good to finally understand and know I have to accept it.

nterestingly, people are proud of me for taking positive steps and doing actual work on my substance abuse problems. Also, thanks to realising I'm trans, I really love my body now and only want it to grow and change with quality new parts. I don't even care I have a slowly re-growing bald dome. It's going to be interesting to see how much hair I re-grow so I'm growing it out and it looks crap as. Wigs and hats fix that.

EDIT: happy saturday everyone.

Had to do the old fasting blood test before, swung by the hot bread shop on the way home and there wasn't anything in the pie warmer. :(

I settled for a pizza roll and am having a chai latte at home.

I've been to paradise, but I've...never been to me....

Couldn't sleep so I watched Babylon.

I fell asleep happy thereafter.

I have no idea why middle america got offended, it's what they want, it's what they vote for, it's who they are. Exploitation and amorality with no judgement . Reality is not pretty.

The dwarf on a cock pogo stick was inspired.

I give it 4.5 hobbitses.

Sorry I know it feels like I've talked about nothing but the same thing all day but I just came back from dinner and I will need a BIG sleep.

I'm up dancing and drinking wine
I don't care, care, I'm feelin' fine
This is me and if you don't like it
I don't know what to tell ya
This is all that I am, this is it
What more do you want from me?
The world is ending, we have front row seats
I'm dancin' dancin' and this is it
Sing with me
Love you

I'm treating my family to some tipsy karaoke.

My kids are impressed with the lyrical delivery but not so much the execution.

I present to you Dinner tonight.

Pasta with chicken from drumsticks in bolognaise sauce.

Will freeze the drumstick bones and then make stock out of them after I’ve cooked them all.

All of a sudden I’m prompted to sign in to this instance every time I open it. ?? Why it be like that?

Woolies powdered milk has gone from $7 to $10. That's an increase of over 40%.

So…apparently there are four missing people in a Defence chopper crash. Their families have woken up to something fucking horrible.
