I don't have anything to say that's important but I will say it's monday and that's an issue until friday.
Imagine, you're sitting on the couch watching the block, desperately pinning the pleats into the skirt you made too big and you go to fart, only to straight up shart. This is me currently.
The man bought me a chocolate self-saucing pudding. It says it serves 4-6. We'll see about that.
😂 No one should ever suggest pudding serving sizes to me.
4-6 minutes
4-6 large spoonfuls.
4-6 is a kid's size
10 days later and I've got my taste back! Oh yeah.
Kids got gastro. Has had it all weekend. We thought he was better, but I just ended up covered in puke so me thinks not better.
I just dropped a full carton of eggs. Fortunately they stayed in the carton so the mess is not too bad, but dinner tonight is now confirmed as quiche.
So I'm going to get tested for coeliac disease. If it turns out I do have it, it's gonna be a little tricky to navigate at first, but I'm happy to give up pasta and bread if it means I have a better quality of life.
Internet in this country is an absolute rip off.
It’s a drag on our productivity. Fucking joke.
Being in Singapore the past two weeks it honestly makes me feel embarrassed what I'll be going back to (putting aside the differences in scale and density)
Current state of Melbournians: sick or about to get sick
Yep! I was planning to be sick tomorrow, but now really am. Joy.
I'm still standin! Yeah Yeah Yeah!
does hayfever count
gah this is so hard, i think i need to see a psych. i'm international (no medicare). any idea where to start? how much do they cost? does insurance cover it? probably will need to talk to my gp & insurance provider?
Chat to your GP first, they should have a list of recommendations for psychs they can give you, or generate a referral.
Typically, it can be between $150 - $400 depending on the clinic/psych. Medicare wouldn't help much; mine is $275 and I get $80 back 😓
fkin hell that's expensive
Typed out something too personal and doxable and don’t want to get into it so I’m just gonna say society is fucked and I am suffering.
Life just shouldn’t be like this.
😞 hope things turn around for you. Sending good vibes your way.
Sending you many hugs.
Adding more good vibes to the vibes already sent.
Not me posting recipes like my stomach isn't wrecked and I haven't become intolerant to everything. And posting frugal tips like I didn't miss a big energy discount and am not still being charged for a non-working service I haven't got around to sorting out yet. 💸
But you know. It's better than doomscrolling, and if it helps someone else...
Sewing of covid masks continues
That wind is a bit Cray Cray innit?
winzzz howling
decided to try and write my daily affirmations out in a decorative circular pattern to have fun with it, maybe change the ink colours up
...and now I look like a crazy person.
It may be the (not-Covid, hooray!) anvils in my brain or just regular overthinking. All sealed, no nuts, and some stickers for the sugarless/food dye issues. Have I missed anything?
Oh that’s lovely. Nice work!
There’s also someone up my street with a giant inflatable black cat in the yard and the head moves back and forth. Dang I should’ve taken photos.
lunch, just peanut butter toast
I had weetbix and blueberries.
I'm having an English style pork pie with a pear & blue brie salad.
Since doing this diet thing, I've totally fallen in love with blueberries. They have almost zero kj, taste amazing and right now you can get a week's supply for $5 (two punnets).
My lunch is basically 15 blueberries, 4 strawberries and a banana. Most of the kilojoules of that come from the banana.
Wife has gastro. Last man standing!
Don't be bragging, you're next!
So watching my new dripper hose system fail in different parts (where I forgot to use the clips) is sparking joy. I took the pressure reducers off because it wasn't enough and now it's too much. It's so counter-intuitive. I need to break it to feel comfortable.

Has anyone seen Rat tests in chemists that also test for RSV? I have a feeling that may be what I have but I don't really want to deal with getting a PCR by going to a GP if I can avoid it.
sky pretty
cauliflower, coconut and chicken curry for dinner, was yumm :)
Watching the ABC 'chinese capitol of taipei" Hold your horses that comment isn't going to age well.
Such bad allergies, crappy sleep again. Going to need caffeine to get through today.
