Good news man :)
I'd been warning my man he needs new work pants because of the holes in the crotch area. Today he was bending over to wrap a pallet and wondered why there was a cool breeze. Forgot he was wearing boxers, has a look and one of his nads was hanging out.
I reinforced the crotch of my work pants with old rainbow thermals. Externally it looks a bit like a rainbow vagina.

He usually wears briefs so you really can't tell. I got a re-enactment when he got home. I'm not complaining.

omg, lol
Doing a photoshoot for the council today to show off the trailer pram and promote active transport.
Apparently I'm super duper ultra low in iron, B12, and vitamin D. Gotta go to a compound pharmacy for the B12, so I get can some big phat pills made up to take once a fortnight.
Doc reckons it explains the weird muscle aches, super bad depression times, and uber-lethargy. But everything else is fine, all my other vitamins and minerals are noice, no indications of diabeetus or anything, phew ๐
Once I've been taking supplements for like 2 months, I have to get another test to check if I'm uptaking it well. If I am, then I'll ask about perimenopause and getting my uterus yeeted.
did they warn you about Nexium / esopramazole (the antacid)? Also blocks iron absorption, so be careful on that.
It also causes issues with bone density.
Can you start taking vitamin D even though you haven't seen a doctor but you think you might be low because you don't get outside much because the sun hates you?
I believe so. The ones to watch out for are Vitamin A and Vitamin E for overdoses which can kill you or make you very sick. Excess quantities of most other vitamins just get pissed out and don't do too much damage en route. Vitamin C in particular gets pissed out if taken in large quantities.
Unless you have an identified need (ie low on a pathology report) its just gonna give you expensive wee.
I already have expensive wee. Lol.
I'll try and get 10 minutes a day and go from there. Thanks. Much appreciated โค๏ธ
They used to say that 10 minutes of forearm exposure was enough.
I think I can manage that.

You can get B12 vitamins by injection from a doctor. Cost might be a factor. I haaaaated taking Maltofer. If you can source stinging nettles these are one of the richest sources of easily digestible iron after meat. But they gotta be steamed/wilted or they sting. If you want to go on a forage for nettles up and down Merri Creek this coming weekend - I'm up for that. Its prime nettle season right now.
I find iron supplements a little digestivly challenging. Maltopher was better than Ferrograd-C. Syrup was better than any pills, but way more expensive.
Seconding Maltofer as the gold standard, though it is priced accordingly!
When I need it, I pick up Wagner Ferro-Sustain (cheap and relatively kind to the gut) and Cenovis Kids Vitamin C (250mg is enough to complement the iron without causing much further upset on an empty stomach).
Sweet thank you!!
The supplements work great. Get the 10000 vit D and take it daily. Don't bother with the lower ones.

Ugh. Two days left of my twelve week deficit. Got back to my pre-xmas weight and hopefully avoided my annual, compounding, winter weight gain.
Porridge, protein powder and peanut butter pls.

Thx chef, the end of the marathon is dragging and I feel flat. Flat emotionally (boo) and a flat physically (woo) as the belly bump has gone down too. I had an xmas in July party lined up but events might've changed. I still think I'm buying and eating an Aviv Babka if the party happens or not.

I salute you dude. I'm about to cut for maybe 2 months and I'm smashing as much pizza and kebab type foods till the end of the week lol
Grilled cheese and tomato soup please

Some of the best jams I have by myself are not recorded and I kinda like it that way.
It's like this thing that lives only once then back to the ether.
For me it's the choons made and then there's a HDD / hardware failure / reinstall but you've mixed down 50+ versions of it..
You're like "yep guess err hmm.. that one's done".
Good cooking gives something of the same vibe. Enjoy the moment knowing it will never come again.
New jeans have been attained. I have gone down 2 sizes in the past year. ๐ญ
I also got this cardigan. I had to. https://dangerfield.com.au/products/official-portrait-cardi?variant=47657396175066
shout out to the awesome assistant at Brunnie store, she was so helpful ๐ฝ
That cardigan is so stinkin' cute!! I love it! Congrats on the jean sizes!!
Thank you ๐ฝ
jeans too big, jeans falling apart, need new jeans, must go to dangerfield
Doing some computer stuff. I like the computer. You can get into shenanigans territory if you donโt treat it like a potential mess though.
I am in water pump shenanigans mode. Just ordered a new starter capacitor hoping for a $16 fix rather than a new pump. Everything else looks fine. Even the capacitor looks fine but it's a cheap replace/test, cheaper than a good enough multimeter to test it with.
Aw nice Iโm sure it will work out. One time I replaced a water valve in a washing machine for like $12 when my housemate wanted us to all pony up for $600 for a new one. I still feel pride. Hope you get that satisfaction.
Woohoo impromptu 4 day weekend! Our systems are struggling so rather than risk us sitting there twiddling our thumbs much of the day they are letting us burn annual leave instead - I am ok with this.
The latest Windows build fixes the details view in File Explorer, filenames show proper units (KB, MB, GB) instead of it all being in KB. They must be digging into some ancient code for that.
Work kicked my ass today, but I still managed to knock out an awesome chicken satay dish for dins. No nail painting tonight as I still have half a container of plastic to unload tomorrow. Tomorrow night shall be nail painting and maybe some wine.
Ugh tried to play cyberpunk 2077 and it crashes. Tried to play Sacred 2 and it freezes.
Can a game just run, I just want to play a game as a big titty lady ffs
