Seriously the man keeps shitting himself and it's putrid. Even the dog left the room in a huff and left me in the dust cloud. I have succumbed to tying a hanky around my head cowboy style with a little eucalyptus on it so I don't vomit.

I'm starting to get alarmed by how desperately I need my coffee to function.

I think I need to have a day off where I just don't have any caffeine at all and writhe around like a junkie in the throes of withdrawal.

I skipped having a coffee on Saturday morning, but had one after dinner. Day was fine.

Yesterday skipped coffee altogether with no ill side effects.

And I'm a frigging coffee junkie most of the time.

And of course I had trouble falling asleep last night.

Stupid body

Finally!

I got onto my payroll officer today and found out that the end of year financial data upload had failed and they had no idea until I emailed them about it.

If I hadn't said anything, who knows how long I would have had to have waited for the pre fill information to be up.

bloody cold last night/this morning.

My BOM app has snowflakes tonight? I feel like that's a pretty good indicator it's fucking cold...

(Thought it's only going to be 3°, and I'm not near the mountains, so why snowflake?)

So I finally got off my butt to get a hideous photo of myself for my passport renewal of which I had to pay handsomely for a rapid renewal, and… my mug was too big.

So I had to pay for an AusPost mugshot. Like, truly, a mugshot. The only thing missing was an orange jumpsuit.

If I didn’t like photos before, now I truly detest them. 😂

Rapid renewal is a fraud.

I did normal and got mine in business 5 days. The lady doing the mugshot (mines not great either heh) / renewal for me was very naughty in trying to upsell the express imo.

I need to slow down. I've eaten about a third of a bucket of rice noodles. Not a mini bucket. A regular sized bucket.

Phew. Day done, dinner eaten, tax return lodged.

Time to kick the feet up and relax for the night!

Kidcalhoon2 is pretty keen to give skating a go after they had a session on a board I found in hard rubbish. I'm not a skater in any way, any tips on the type of board I could get them? I guess they just want to cruise, turn a bit, and maybe have a shot at the local skate park....
