Bleh, some people are just so unpleasant to talk to. Rude, arrogant, bossy and at times inadvertently mean.
Normally don't need to talk to them but had to today and it was unpleasant as predicted, thankfully I'm not the only one who has the same opinion but dealing with someone like that really sours the day.
I think it's just nudged me further into actually taking a sick day tomorrow.
Meh, morning. I have been royally itchy AF these past couple of days. Now my right eye feels a bit swollen/tender.
Allergies. The gift that keeps on giving. ๐
Plants have been acquired for next week's gardening bee. Now I need to do a rough plan of what goes where. I also got some mulch, but still need to get some fertiliser once I work out what type I want.
They are all native plants that are supposed to be ok with dry and full sun and I managed to keep them in the $10-$13 range , plus a few tubestock for $3.75.
Edit: They are all native plants except for a couple which were in the native plant section but Google tells me are actually from the Mediterranean.
-yawn-
i should probably get up
Edit: Iโm up
๐น i regot up at 11, at least now my months of nagging sore throat has gone too
tho i feel guilty taking it easy today. That's the thing when yer a "housewife", you never get a day off ever , even when crippled with sciatica i still looked after the cats
Day off, feeling shitty but also bored AF. Brains not working well enough to play games. Got some other suggestions to keep me occupied?
I popped up to Northland at about 2 because I needed a couple of things. I expected it to be dead as usual on a weekday arvo. It was total bedlam. I guess a combo of the sales and the heat, neither of which had really registered with me.
I survived, but I'll be trying not to enter a shopping centre again between now and at least mid-Jan.
I'm considering the logistics of a city bike more again. I was thinking of buying a cheap old bike off marketplace to ride between the station and work, but I couldn't figure out where to keep it locked up most of the week. I might be able to do it now if I can figure out that city spot now
On days like this I used to tell my kid it was an "all you can eat zooper doopers" day. ๐
I just bought BG3 and I didn't realise that my laptop doesn't have enough storage to run the thing. Thank goodness for the hard drive I bought five years ago that I just uncovered.

Fried/steamed dumplings please - any flavour - with a large kombucha to go with. I have a neeeeeeed for dumplings.
I ate a few rice crackers and my mouth started burningโฆ ? Alrighty then.
Iโve ordered some more seeds. Jack Be Little pumpkins, Tommy Toe cherry tomatoes and some cat grass seeds. Very cheap. I just wish the packets were a little smaller, I only have so many pots left.
The zucchini are growing a lot of adult leaves and already shaping up to be monsters. What have I done planting four of themโฆ I only had 30cm pots as well. I still havenโt got the stakes and the pipes might not be tall enough.
after much sleep my arm is now useable and I can stay awake. These vaccinations knock me out which makes me wonder how I would I cope with getting actual covid.
tho I think I may have had covid in the past six months, my memory is shot lately and that's a symptom of post viral covid.
Not Covid or the flu, so thatโs good. Still feels a bit like I been run over by a truck but hopefully day 3 itโll break.
Iโm going in day 6 with this thing I have.
Still donโt really know what it is but I hope it clears up soon.
Good night everyone. Sweet dreams. ๐๐๐
Thank you melba for making the thread! I was playing Stardew Valley and got very immersed in the game.
I'm being very unproductive at work today.
Apart from feeling under the weather got hooked playing the Google moon phase game for awhile.
