hey, fellow kids. Been a while. How are we all? I see we are all making serious food decisions…
Cherry tart update: The tart was transported in the tin, and was also successfully removed and held up well to being sliced. It was very yummy, my sister and I split the leftovers. I just had another piece as a pre-brdtime snack.
awesoooome
i have never made cherry pies or tarts with fresh cherries, you have inspired me 🙂
Contemplating having a drink tonight. Margaritas or Hard Solos. Hmm.
Margaritas. The salt will replace what you lose to sweat in the heat today. Plus hard solo is just expensive solo and vodka.
First up, I’m inside with the air con on. Still working hard but without the sweat.
Secondly, 30 pack of Solo + Smirnoff = Hard Solo or harder Solo if I choose to. Yeah pre-mixed Hard Solos are ok for travellers but I’m at home. And this is what I have chosen.
Why not both?!
Maybe. Let’s just see where the night leads to.🤷♀️
Mix it all together for a righteous jungle juice
Let’s see what the night brings.
The gym is kicking my ass big time.
Just had another 12 hour sleep. It’s great in a way because I know it’s working.
It’s just a bit intense.
About to have some vegemite toast and now I’m trying to count how many decisions I’m about to make.
300 decisions about food a day is wild
You decided to post about it which counts I’m pretty sure
The stupidly heavy antique drill press has been sold and is on it’s way to a new home. 😁
Decluttering is getting more and more complete every day - the prospect of moving house definitly help, it’s amazing how many “maybe” items turn into a hard no when faced with the prospect of packing and moving them.
When I’m decluttering and I come to a few maybe/maybe not decisions I know that’s when to stop altogether. When I come back to it, that decision is so much more clearer.
Are you ever going to use it?
Will you ever open this book or listen to this record?
Will you ever wear this again?
Have you used it in the last year?
Such a nice feeling when stuff moves on. I think I’m past the decluttering hump so things are getting easier, but it does seem never ending.
Finally found a gap in the packing/unpacking/cleaning schedule to redye my hair. Feel a zillion times better for not being a faded out drab! The grey eyebrow bits still have much to answer for.
that one time i decided to dye my eyebrows at the same time, just a gentle smear of dye , right?
half an hour later I looked like groucho marx
after I finished my hair I got to work on forehead and eyebrows, I got it all off but it was so red from all the rubbing ( stop laughing ), was so embarrassed to go out
i just pencil them in now
If you ever do decide to tint them again, the 1000 hour one has work well imo. I’ve used other dyes and they all turn out way too bold.
Thanks for reminding me, I do the 1000 hour one when I remember, I should get the black one tho
mickey 17 is a lot of fun
The ice cream van drove by 🥰🍦
Reminds me of Eddie Murphy.
There’s a few dozen decisions right there.
It’s funny how that music triggers an adrenaline rush in me after all these years. It’s an instant Pavlovian response.
there’s a place at qvc that sells yoghurt soft serve, maybe I can go halves or thirds
noooo, I must not , I had mousse yesterday
I eat ice cream every day and I’ve lost 10kg in 3 months. Portion control & prioritisation. You need some joyful food.
Living on cardboard isn’t sustainable for me, it needs to be a lifestyle change I can stick to long-term.
And frozen yogurt especially is pretty low in calories.
I’m not living on cardboard. I had guac and some corn chips for lunch and choc mousse yesterday!
Has anyone ever plugged their desktop pc into a large 4k TV for gaming?
If so, how was it?
Theres a game I want to play with friends but it’s only on pc and I don’t want to sit at my desk to play it.
Curious what other peoples experiences are.
Should be fine - https://i.imgur.com/6V69xZL.jpg
Holy crap lol
Cheers :)
I think it depends on your GPU being able to drive a 4k monitor. Might need to turn the graphics down on the game to get enough frame rate.
Oh my god that made me laugh
Yes.
We have a pc permanently slaved to the tv for media and gaming. It’s fucken awesome.
You do need to blow up the font sizes to be able to read system shit though.
I’ve ever only done it via a laptop with a direct hdmi connection.
With my pc I had to use steam link which went through the network. Sort of worked but crashed eventually after playing around with it for a couple of hours.
Thanks for the heads up :)
Had a beach day yesterday after barely going all summer. Sand, sun and ocean waves fix all problems. Also perfect temp yesterday and barely any breeze. And caught this amazing sunset. Followed by best sleep I’ve had in weeks.
I want to go again today. Wish ocean was closer.
That’s so beautiful. 🙂
Depressed/struggling
I am really struggling. I have a sink full of half washed dishes and am unable to complete (or really start) anything of any kind of hobby.
The idiots online are outweighing the couple of chill friends I have and one of them has actually got fed up and dipped, deleting a lot of their posts. IRL I’m surrounded by unstable dipshits. I no longer have the energy to draw.
Medication doesn’t help me (resistant) so all I can really do is keep pointlessly slogging on.
Getting back to yourself after depression or being knocked for a loop takes time. Remember: you can just stop anything you start, whenever and pick up whenever. Yes, even halfway through.
Do the dishes tomorrow. They can wait.
Log off and ignore the stupids. It’s hard but worth it.
Give melbcat a hug.
Give yourself a hug.
Find something comforting to watch or listen to and just sail of mentally.
You got this.
Thanks. I’m just plowing through them quickly so I can have clean dishes (cutlery went in the machine because no way) and will be buying more disposables.
The problem is logging off from the stupids leaves me with emptiness and the extra special stupids irl.
I’m feeding and medicating Melbcat and will probably have to just Restavit the crap out of myself tonight to get some sleep.
The emptiness can be filled. Just need other distractions. It’s not easy for sure.
So what’s best for yourself.
We appreciate you.
Yeah! I’ve got independent hobbies but brain no working for some reason
Thanks. I’ll do my best
Anyone seen the Me We campaign going around? I’m very glad to see campaigns like this, and the consent one going around. Yeah we can’t control other people’s behaviour, but if some of society get exposed to campaigns like this, hopefully one day it will diffuse to people who are harder to reach.
I think there should be a more aggressive campaign to do with sun safety. Plenty of people around me are still glamorising tanning, and I still have gotten a couple of sunburns from being outside and forgetting to apply sunscreen.
Just had a look at windy.com - there’s a nice little batch of rain headed our way. Which the garden sorely needs.
It makes me sad how much it shrinks the closer it gets to the bay 😭 but I’ll be grateful nonetheless.
It’s oppressive tonight! Help, help! I’m being oppressed!
Packing my reading books, I read a lot of autobiographies, I find them endlessly interesting.
so just a taste of what i buy/read, the dam busters ( husband loves this one too, he was a ballistics scientist ) , Storm over the land, The end of the beginning, we were the rats ( of tobruk )
why old books, i like to see where we came from so I can have some understanding of where we are now
4 boxes packed today so far, 6 to go
