JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I STARTED SMELLING THAT SMELL AND CHECKED AND THERE WAS A DEAD RAT UNDER MY BED UGGGHHH
God knows when it got there but a) I only just started smelling That Smell an hour back (and I crashed for a couple of hours this afternoon) and b) I'm pretty sure it wasn't there yesterday because I hauled the old suitcase out from under the other side of the bed to take to the op shop and I didn't spot anything.
But ugggghhhhhh.

๐Ÿ˜– Zooks decided because I woke up early yesterday that 3:30 is now wake up time and head-butted me awake.
Admittedly she woke me out of one of those annoying dreams, but still.

Someone likes to run across my legs for no reason at about 4am.

Admittedly I was dreaming about being assassinated, so no harm done.

T minus 12 minutes to find out if the kid did a good job of dyeing my hair. Ok let's face it I don't really care as long as it's not patchy.

Update: It looks good. Just need to see it in daylight now.

I dyed my own hair (when I had hair....๐Ÿ˜ณ) once whilst camping in a national park, used a whole can of sun-in. I didn't go into town for about a week, and when I did, I legit did a spit-take when I saw my reflection in a shopfront window. On reflection, I didn't need the whole can.

Couldn't sleep so I took off from Albury at 5:30. Just got home when my alarm was due to go off.

I was fine until maybe 45 minutes out and my eyes started getting a little stingy but I pushed through and everything is a-o-k.

Actually pretty glad to have avoided the "coming home from a long weekend" Hume Hwy crowd. It was a quiet and good run.

Good night everyone. ๐Ÿ˜˜

I've gotta go and buy a dress today. Looking on line and I discovered I'm more picky about clothing than I am about food. I don't want black, prints, lace, too much polyester, bright colours. I don't want to look like a bridesmaid or someone who came from the set of The Handmaids Tale. I like jumpsuits but don't wanna get half naked just to have a piss.

I need something I can wear with my ankle boots because I don't wear scrappy shoes. And I'm gonna need a handbag. I'll probably come out with 3 handbags and no outfit. Pray for me.

The man needs a shirt and he doesn't give a shit what colour it is. Urgh.

I don't want to sound dramatic, but I'm a man, and I have a cold. Now, we all know that means I'm dying a slow, painful death.

No one has ever felt this bad in the history of humanity lol

Woe is me ๐Ÿคง

Also this is Gibson's Imgur thingy https://imgur.com/gallery/AtAIjpO

Nup, today was not as good as yesterday. Bad sleep, got some shit done but starting to feel some kind of second wave of Bleah coming on. Just like the last time I got covid... I'll do a test tonight (although a negative doesn't mean it isn't something else).

Swear to god I'll cry if I feel sick tomorrow morning. I will not go in sick but it suuuucks to miss another day of pay (doubt they'd let me take my first day off on sick leave)

Nice things for today though:

positivity!!!1 โœจ

  • GLORIOUS sun
  • scored a $2 bacopa at Bunnings
  • stocked up on Bonsoy at $3.90 this week
  • cheap fennel bulbs ๐Ÿ˜‹
  • found my beetroot seeds
  • my new daily planner is here!!! Designed for scattered minds - undated, has a "most important things" sublist, and a "brain dump" page every 7 days for planning out the week. Can't wait to use this on Monday!

Time to do gardening pt 2 real quick now that the sun is off my plants, then get into the kitchen. Think I can only make the arroz verde and then I'm done.

@Seagoon_ @melbourne Ugh. It's Monday tomorrow. Why do weekends have to be so short? ๐Ÿ˜”

There's a huge workload to get through, and I'm stressing about it already.

On the upside, I'm taking Thursday and Friday off.

And there's a concert that wifey and I are going to on Tuesday night ๐Ÿ˜Š

I gave her the tickets for Valentine's Day. I haven't been to a concert since the pandemic.

Also, I have a song by HER stuck in my head: https://youtu.be/_iKxR-daLCo?si=X7mcQHhCZHoN2UWn

Had some friends come over. Because of where I live it doesn't happen as often as I'd like, but it's really nice to have some more humans to talk to lol

Too warm for trackie dacks, too cold for shorts.

The eternal struggle.

I can hear a rave/dance party going on from my apartment in Fitzroy North and I can't figure out where it's come from.

Not that I would go anyway as I'm a boring adult who has a job to go to tomorrow โ˜น๏ธ

More cleaning today, job made way harder by biodegradable bags exploding into a billion pieces of confetti and getting on everything and breaking down at a touch when picking them up.

Looking forward to some chicken that I seasoned last night and let sit in the fridge overnight, going to see if that makes a difference in flavour.

Anyway more spaces cleaned up for the moment, will resume tomorrow and hopefully I can start to move some furniture around pending vacuuming of stupid left over bag confetti.

Box icream sandwich review: Fuck these are too sweet! Aldo, no presentation points for me.

mint icecream sandwich

Nothing much to say about the biscuit bit. Maybe use the half frozen log trick for a neater result? The icecream part makes way more than necessary and the chips tend to sink. Not awful but even Boyo thinks the sugar is excessive. Coat in 80% bitter for crunch & flavour correction?

@Force_majeure123@aussie.zone

Thank you for your sacrifice

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

they look delicious, I might add some chocolate ripple biscuits

would definitely eat

turn the freezer colder and it will taste less sweet

Did I ever tell you how much I dislike cleaning barbecue gas ports? Should be a Jimโ€™s franchise for this shit.

I was just reading that the cost of a passport is going up about $50 on 1 July, so anyone planning on getting a passport soon would be advised to do it before then.

Laid up in bed all day with a cold. Urghhh I'm a giant sook when I'm sick ๐Ÿคง

I'm trying Chook on a new pellet mix. He's rolling in it rather than eating it

Weekend highlight: Finding a Philippino take away/burger place that does an ube (purple yam) flavoured dessert.

Incredibly sweet, but delicious.

Is there a website that I can put in a hallmark number and it would tell me more about an object?
