I ' M F R E E

I can nearly stand straight!! I'm getting better. ( explanation, sciatica puts pressure on the nerves leaving the spine , if you lean forward it relieves pressure and pain. Standing straight means the spine is ok ))

Kinda actually proud of this shot from yesterday! Stunning sky!

Note to self. Induction hot plates work MUCH better if you plug them in. No, don't ask. I might have to kill you if I tell you.

Chef is undergoing vaccine fever. Please help yourself.

Haven't felt nearly as bad with the latest jab as I did the last booster, but I've been sleeping quite a bit.
Also my arm is sore, as I found out when Zooks was snuggling up to me and stomping on it with her little floofy pawses. Owwww.

There is a cruel lack of chips in this house.

Well it finally happened. Stepped on a kids toy, slid and went down like a sack of shit. Hip and back did not appreciate the ride.

I had a cup of tea that had off milk in it. I drank half of it before I realised. Let's see how this goes.

Medical cannabis appointment today. Wooo. Already passed the screening, so now it's just discussing with the doctor, and then managing to afford it.

Really looking forward to not being in pain all the time.

Edit to add: Whole process was very smooth. Concession discount is huge on the concession products. The doctor was a full hour and a half late, but apparently he was trying to call me directly instead of using the linked telehealth waiting room thing. Didn't get any missed calls though lol.

Enjoy your day!

I’m not sure a word exists that adequately describes how I feel about ironing.

This week's featured song playing around and around in my head is Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal.

Does anyone know if Annie was, in fact, ok?

Didn't make it to the fishmongers but I cooked up the defrosted tempeh I bought from the Indonesian joint on Glenferrie Road earlier this week. Ugh yessss. So much better than the plastic shit at colesworth.

Having grown up with fresh tempeh wrapped in banana leaves I really miss easy access to good, properly made tempeh that isn't some homogenised health food.

Might even indulge in deep-frying some one of these days 🤭

e: Finished watching Prosper. Eh... thoroughly mediocre. Typical soap opera plot. When can we have something on the calibre of Mr Inbetween again?

Who’s the dummy who offered to work today? And who’s the dummy that couldn’t tear themselves away from watching Der Pass S2?

It wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t keep waking up to this wretched humidity.

Neighbours have forgotten not everyone in the block wants to feel like they live in a night club....

Truly can't wait to move in May, between party house central and the REA not disclosing they would be our neighbours until after signing the lease (still can't believe there are no laws around disclosing something like that prior to signing the lease) I just want to get out.

1h 30mins to go until I'm done with work.

Then:
Sunday off
Monday, Tuesday on
Wednesday off
Thursday on
Friday off

Wonder if I can request a last minute annual leave day for Thursday....

I have watched so much television 😵‍💫

Bloody scammers. Not only do I not own a car to put my non existent e-tag on, last time I delt with Centrelink it was a different Millenium and anything sent at 3am is guaranteed to be bullshit anyway.

Has anyone else watched Fight Club?

I get it's about a paranoid schizophrenic.

What I don't get is it's supposed to be a funny comedy. ( this is what the makers say in the dvd commentaries ) True it has some funny moments.

But to me I see the world in the movie as absurd not funny. There's a lot of events in the movie that are extreme and barely believable but since it's a movie and we are supposed to suspend disbelief anyway I just shrug them off.

Went to QVM with the Minipeelers and came home with some hand made soaps, dishwashing liquid (can take bottle back for discount refills, which I've been meaning to get started doing) and castanets 💃The soaps were good value and smell devine, especially the lemon myrtle one.

The TikTok baked oats thing was a huge success, but apparently I’ve hit my threshold of healthy food again cause my stomach hurts. Curse this crappy digestive system. On the bright side this means I can eat white bread and come chips tomorrow.

Craving a nice big juicy fish fillet at a most inconvenient time. I haven't bought fresh/defrosted fish in a while, might womble over to the nice fishmongers when I wake up for a treat. NZ King Salmon if they have it.

bloody cats woke me up fighting

so I fed em so much crunchies they will shut up and leave me alone
