I just picked up an overtime shift and my inner accountant is thrilled. The rest of me is not so pleased with the addition of another early morning wakeup to my week โ˜น๏ธ

I know they get a lot of hate, but I actually like the new short Coles paper bags. They have about the same effective carrying capacity (unless you are buying something really light like a bulk purchase of marshmallows) but are much less likely to end up torn. They also seem more stable, things don't end up rolling around inside the bag as much. The larger bags almost always ended up torn during delivery when they had cans of cat food and similar in them, it hasn't happened once with the shorter ones.

I have not had the same experience. I find they all rip in no time. The plastic ones lasted 10-15 uses. The paper ones are lucky to last 2.

Done the last of the repotting and prepared 3 big pots for jalapeno seedlings. Sewed up the outdoor toy penguin and put it out. Done daiso shopping, bought gloves, no one had fingerless gloves so imma just cut the fingers off myself. Got all the sewing haberdashery I need to do some french embroidery on my jumper. All the tapestry fabric for recovering the chairs is cut out and ready. Pizza is being done. Cats are brushed and fed.

I refuse to listen to the news, the whining from the dems is driving me crazy. Just fricking use power and do something.
