Happy Hump Day, Team!
Doomscrolling, American politics, a second apology
I’m really sorry once again for my tasteless joke.
My doomscrolling had consisted of the wild suggestions that RFK junior had been kicking around for America’s health system. Such as removing fluoride from water and vaccine skepticism - but also the proposal of having “wellness farms” (labour camps) for people who used illegal or legal drugs including antidepressants or adhd meds.
I’m quite concerned about suggestions like that which slide easily into fascism. Hoping that none of the really crazy stuff actually happens over there - or filters down into Australia. As American culture or conspiracy theories can tend to do. I’m worried for the future. What happens to anyone outside the norm if that idea gets legs.
But even as dark humour and worry for the growing fascism in America and Australia, it was hurtful and not ok for me to say. I’m very sorry to survivors and relatives of people who did actually endure internment.
I just have to stop looking at or worrying about this stuff. And not smart off about painful serious things.
Fantastic day - finished it off with American ribs (I’ve never tried them) and tiramisu
The tiramisu is very alcoholic. The bottom sponge later is dripping with it. I thought it was meant to bake out, but it absolutely has not - super strong. But enjoyable besides that
One plethora of plants has now been ordered, and I have a rough planting plan drawn up. Now I need to add on another small fortune for mulch and fertilizer and I’ll be set.
I’ve got my harry potter paint book https://www.dymocks.com.au/harry-potter-watercolor-magic-by-tugce-audoire-9781647224622
I’ve got loads of brushes, good ones and cheaper ones, tube paints and a palette of colours in trays. I have spare paper for messing about and a big jar of water.
Now I will read the book carefully and follow instructions. Starting with doing a colour test of all the paints. :)
This is such a lovely way to spend an evening, enjoy!
I’ve already not done it right …lol. Start again, this time rule the paper into sections for each colour and use a different brush.
Tested negative but still congested and voice gone.
keep resting , hugs
Every now and then someone does a cover that is just exceptional… Stand By Me - Stephen Wilson Jr.
such a beautiful song 🙂
The kid and I are deciding what toiletries we need to take and are only allowed one 20cm × 20cm ziplock bag each and everything has to be 100ml or less. What!!! This skin needs a lot of before, during and after treatments if it wants to step outside in the elements.
When I did this I used to take a bar of Dove soap for my body and hair, a kid’s toothbrush (smaller) and a mini paste, a handbag sized tube of Nivea spf15 lotion and a folding travel brush. And a small roll on deodorant. Chapstick and a couple of hair ties.
That did well for me. I did find my face would get a bit dry though with the Dove and no separate moisturiser. And the tiny Nivea tube is now discontinued.
These all sound like good ideas.
Is this for plane travel? That’s only the limits for carry on. You can take any size toiletries liquids in your checked baggage.
We’re only taking carry on backpacks.
Can you not buy toiletries there?
Why, when I have everything here.
Because then you don’t have to carry it. Plus for some reason shopping in new places is more fun. And as a bonus you don’t have to deal with power-tripping airport security who make you throw out your stuff even though it is actually compliant so you end up having to buy more anyway.
We can comply with the 100ml each item it’s just the amount of tubes we have. Moisturiser, sunscreen, face sunscreen, toothpaste, hand sanitiser and that’s the bare minimum I’ll need. All the liquids have to be in this little bag. My zip lock bag is 17.5 × 20 so I’m ripping myself off. Must go and find bigger bag.
I complied with everything too. I just had an agent who decided that I could only have things in their original containers and made me throw everything out because I’d transferred things to smaller containers for travel.
Oh no. So that’s what you meant. Luckily everything is in their original tubes.
hehe I walked to the shops and survived.
I won that war.
But the neurologist long term neighbour rocked around to say g’day to mum and dad. Wasn’t a check up just hello. Fark me get two docs like that in the same room you are gonna get a lotta latin.
Ah yes, and how are the astroglia in your medulla oblongata on this fine day. Corpus callosum in good balance?
Corpus callosum in good balance?
heh I’m hoping hm.

Now that I’ve finished the planting in my Mum’s garden I’ve started to make some more serious decisions about mine. I’ve neglected it a bit because I’m not really sure what to do with it, and it’s mostly filled with vegies gone to seed. I’ve decided to pull up everything in the main beds and replace with a mix of basic shrubs, mostly natives, and just keep the two raised planters with vegies in them. That should keep everything neat and be low maintenance, without costing too much. I’ll get cheap tubestock that will hopefully grow a bit before the house goes up for sale and fill in the garden a bit and I’ll fill in all the gaps with mulch. It will probably be a few days of solid work, but at least I won’t have to cart soil or do anything too heavy.
First world problem : pizza or fish & chups? Cbf cooking tonite. And no meat in the fridge. Or freezer. Bad me. Must go shopping this weekend.
Boy that’s really hard. If there’s a potato cake involved I think I’d do fish and chips tonight.
Well… you’ve convinced me to have fush & chups! At home - eat through the freezer a bit. Have leftover slaw. Perfect summertime chow while watching more British cop shows
Pizza so U can have leftovers
To be honest a with a pizza there’d be nothing left over if I made one.
That’s why you get two!
That sounds like a solid plan!
You have convinced me.
Bleh, even after the roofer turned up today the rain that swept through has caused another leak from the skylight and an area close to it.
Turns out from what I was told that there was a broken tile up there and something related to the skylight had to be patched up, guess that didn’t work though or wasn’t fully fixed.
It’s possible that if caulk was used, it didn’t have time to dry and immediately carked it. Sticking a plastic sheet over it may have helped but then they would’ve had to come back to remove it. May have just risked it to save you the money of them returning. It was either a definite return to remove whatever was covering it, or a potential return if the fix carked it.
That’s just my two cents anyway, I’m just spitballing.
I’ve got no idea since I didn’t deal with the roofer.
It’s a new leak sure. No idea if the repairs today have caused this or not.
Now that it’s at least confirmed I’d like it to stop raining now
Ahhh time to relax finally. What a day.
That’s a wrap on a really intense work week. Who thought taking 4 hours off last week would be so hard to make up over 3 days. Some weeks are cruisey but it feels like I’ve done a week’s worth in 3 days. And then I’ve got to get cracking on uni tomoz. Have dinner at a friend’s and no time or energy to make anything. Then dinner out with another friend Friday. I hope to be able to get everything unpacked over the weekend and just blob out a bit. I sure will tonight after seeing the psych.
Hope you have fun tonight and are able to get some stuff down then finally relax over the weekend.

Can’t sleep, pineapple will eat me

There are other forms of hospitality. 😹🦩
GRRRRRRR the drainage I put in is draining, but it ain’t ocming out the hole.
If weather permits I’m gonna stick my endoscope on some yellowtongue and shove it up 'er
I have a task in my change this afternoon to execute a release pipeline called “Order 66”. The task has been worded as “Execute order 66”.
None of my colleagues thinks this is funny. 😞
I went bowling recently with work. My repeated loud calls of Over The Line! were neither appreciated or thought of as funny.
Mark it 8, Dude.
Love it! We looked at a product with a name from the halo franchise recently. I demanded if we go ahead it be called project SPARTAN. my boss looked at me like I’d grown a second head. Team leader loved it though.
