Dumbest thing I've done in a bit today.
I went to grab a snack from the lunchroom and ended up with a little biscuit and tried to eat it.
The texture strange and didn't break up like I thought so I chucked it in the bin.
Couple of hours later I look again at the box of snacks and see in light pen on the lid "Not Edible".
It now dawns on me that I tried to eat a biscuit made out of plasticine.
I was tired this morning :(
New earbuds are great!
Still suss that they're Bluetooth, but seems fine so far, plus I can charge my phone AND listen to music at the same time

This is the perfect weather to make health and fitness changes if you need to. Also getting rid of clutter. C'mon guys. You've got this!
Anyone want to work on their functional strength? It would be my honour to allow you to come over and mop my floors and scrub my bathroom.
Oh I do need to work out ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
Scrub? How long has it been, you filthy animal?
OK a bit of hyperbole on my part but I don't deny the filthy animal allegations.
You make it sound like throwing you in the trough at the Laird would be welcome

Here's a tip. Spray the shower with a cleaning product. Clean the basin, bath and floor then get in the shower and clean that, then yourself. You've got this!
I have this!!
You have!!

Food market was bountiful today. I've got a rolled chicken roast for dinner, and a bag of brussels sprouts to go with it. A random cheese turned out to be cheddar flavoured with salt and vinegar, so I'll have to be a bit judicious in how I use that. I also have tons of fruit of all varieties.
Replacing the pita bread kilojoules with iceberg and olive oil for lunch. Turning a salad wrap into a salad. Went okay.
I love doing that. Washing the lettuce leaves not so much. Cos lettuce works well too.
Ted is such a champ. Here he is enjoying the balcony. ๐
And I found Bill after much searching , grabbed him, put him in bathroom with food water and a tray. He is better n. He must have felt so uncomfortable, poor little guy.
I see part of the ol Mic's cistine chapel in there.
lol, his little paw reaching out
Bill and ted's (and yours) excellent adventure :)
Poor bill, he'll get the hang of it I'm sure.
Thank you ๐ Bill's getting better by the hour
but i have to be careful or anytime over the next two months as he could still do a runner. He gets scared and with no thought just runs
So I have a choice to make about this friday that I need to make today to ask for leave.
Friday's are usually a light work day 9 out 10 times.
Should I take it off this week or stick it out and just spend the day at work?
I reckon you need the day off.
If you really need a break, take the day off. If you have shit to do, take the day off. If you haven't had a day off for a while, take the day off.
Otherwise go in and plan your next day off.
I'm just tired and don't feel up to the drama of potential scammers. I'm just gonna buy from reliable big stores now or buy on sight.
oh, and I did some image searches, the items I were interested on ebay were not described correctly, they were great items but described ikea etc ๐
For new stuff sure. I've found facebook and marketplace pretty reliable. People are so happy to deal with a genuine seller/buyer.
I dont have fb and am loathe to join.
do you think it's safe, i'd use a new safe email and not give any other personal info
I have mowed the "lawn" and even got fancy and trimmed the edges. Now my arms are all shaky.
Its that damn fine motor control again - I have this problem too when using the whippersnapper to edge around the trees etc.
I know I keep saying tinyest's language is exploding. but hes now repeating almost all words said to him (or trying to anyway). He can now say "if you say so" and uses 2 words together pretty frequently. Sadly its "daddy, no" a lot of the time. But hes also become a lot less stingy with his hugs. And you best be prepared cause sometimes they are surprise hugs.
One of my boys is a real talker. He's at the same stage saying things like "this is mine", "See you later", and "see you tomorrow". My girlfriend asked him what I do at work and he said "Helping old people" because that's what she says to him when I go do my tech support sessions.
Once kids start talking, it's great!!! You're in for a good time.
A warning, kids have no filter. They say exactly what they see.
him being able to communicate needs (or wants) makes life so much easier!
Naw. That's beautiful! I for one would like to hear more tinyest milestones. โค๏ธ
can let you know more as he develops. Still remember the day I finally told the DT that we were pregnant. Feels like weeks ago, not years.
Tell me about it. My kid's 18 in 2 months. Time flies.
aw, that is so cute and awesome
and wow, I just love humans, we are really incredible. Language is what makes us. ๐ ( i must be super tired, i'm teary thinking how wonderful tinyest is )
yeah even his little "MINE!" is cute.
coffee, that was good
now for a shower and some clean clothes
