    Today was a new record, woke up at 7:30 but didn’t leave the bed - not even to go to the bathroom - until 6pm. I have completely checked out of all my obligations and requirements today… wasn’t gonna make me feel better with no food or water, but I don’t feel substantially worse either.

    At least I’ve got dinner with me now - a nice hearty Moroccan tagine packed with veggies, and some pappadums - dragged the laptop back to the bedroom and gonna binge watch stuff until I fall asleep. Maybe I’ll start with the movie CODA since I’ve been on an apple+ run lately (🏴‍☠️, of course)

    I think this is my body just going “you sorted out the car and job. NOW RELAX”

      Wow. That’s impressive.

      Sometimes you have to listen to your body and let it rest when it needs it.

      Dinner sounds yummy!

      It’ll be even more impressive if you can get to sleep at a reasonable time tonight.

    It’s crazy how much power a dream can have on us.

    Had one with my old man in it and I was a kid.

    Felt the exact same terror I felt when I was that age. There’s this look he’d give me and I knew I was absolutely fucked.

    I woke up semi hyper ventilating.

    Even after all this time, even as a grown man, you never forget that stuff I guess.

    If I were Prime Minister, I would make it law that if a Public Holiday falls on a Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday, than the rest of the week is also a day off. Who has the motivation to work today?

    Good news: the auction place will take most of the furniture that can’t fit into the new place that I don’t want.
    Bad news: I have to take it myself.
    Good news: it should fit into the new car, and my lawn guy and occasional helper will drop by and help me load up the car.
    Bad news: trying to get my Google profile for the business verified and none of the methods work. This is frustrating as I’m using the practice room as a sorting hub after I cleared it yesterday.
    Good news: I stress cleared the pile of crap I scooped off the floor and slung into a very large bag and most of it is now in the bin.
    Bad news: I have a headache bordering on a migrane and I really can’t stop to indulge it.
    Good news: the old cooking chocolate seems to be helping. ;)

            They’re very brave until they get close enough to judge the size difference.

            Got a ‘Sorry mate, we’re alright’ from it.

    @Seagoon_ @melbourne So I stopped by Priceline while I was at the shops to pick up some foundation.

    On my way home, I noticed that I got the one that’s a shade darker than I normally get.

    Then when I got home, I realised that I had made the exact same mistake last time.

    The moral of the story? If you’re going to be a careless idiot, it pays to at least be consistent.

      I can’t help stupidity but I can tell you if you mix a little foundation with moisturiser it should be alright to use if you don’t want to return it.

        @CEOofmyhouse56 Thanks, that’s a really great tip 😊

        The good news is that the next shade up still works, and most days I only go for fairly light coverage.

        @Force_majeure123 @useless_modern_god @melbourne That fakenitis is very contagious. You’re doing the right thing by listening to Dr Howlong and staying home.

        Beverages or recreation are also a great remedy, I hear…

        @CEOofmyhouse56 @StudChud @melbourne Parmas, not parmis.

        And while where at it…

        It’s a pot of beer, not a schooner.

        It’s a potato cake, not a scallop (?!?!).

        It’s a freeway, not a motorway.

        They’re bathers, not toggs.

        The biggest city in Australia is called Melbourne, not Sydney.

        And if Teddy Whitten isn’t either playing or coaching, then it’s not really State of Origin.

      I saw a menu ad at a CBD pub recently that advertised a Chicken Parmi. I shuddered. This is how to lose customers.

      My personal view is that, given the spelling of parmigiana, parmi is the correct shortening of the word. But it sounds stupid. So the contraction of parma is a much better option, but should technically be written as parm’a. But that looks stupid. I blame the entire problem on the Italians, we wouldn’t be having this argument at all if they just did the sensible thing and called it a schnitzel pizza.
