My dentist was late for the appointment. Her car was updating and she was left stranded for a bit. Both funny and sad.

I have a splitting headache. Had 2 Panadol and a coffee about an hour ago, has dulled it a bit, but itβs still there. Today will be unproductive.
Erin Patterson, a proven liar, sitting on the stand and claiming that everyone else is lying about her and what she said is actually wild.
My wife has been fascinated by this case and listens to the daily podcast about it. She's gone from "oh she definitely did it" to "maybe she's innocent, I can't be say beyond reasonable doubt" after this week's testimony. So Erin is clearly doing some good for her case on the stand.
I haven't been following the case closely, but I listened to one recap podcast a week ago where they describe the multiple phones, the missing phone seen on camera that wasn't provided, with the one provided to police being factory reset first, and taking her dehydrator on CCTV to the tip after telling police she didn't have one - it was all pretty damning.
but she didn't have a dehydrator, she used to have one
I would like to see the police questioning, I bet it wasn't very good

She keeps asserting her lies until she gets completely cornered by the evidence and then changes the story and comes up with some excuse for the lies. Excuses like, oh I was embarrassed, oh I got confused, etc. I think she did it.
She says 6 were made, one each for her guests, one for her and one that her child ate part of minus the toxic mushrooms which she scraped off.
3 people dead, one seriously ill, one made herself puke because she ate too much cake and one unscathed. Something doesn't add up.
There's a bloke in the US like that and he's currently the President.
If you believe your own lie, it'll manifest itself as truth.
Woof, well done.
Sometimes being right is a curse.

kinda busy day

Happy International Donut Day
Yesterday was International Sausage Roll Day
That was invigorating. I got to start my walk with a game of Pick Up the Rubbish Bin and Chase Down my Rubbish Strewn Down the Street. Just in time too, the truck was collecting it just as we got back.
My new laundry rack and remote control for the garage have both arrived. I think I'll need to move the van to access the controller to program the remote, I might wait until it's not so windy to do that, I'm likely to lose half the contents of the garage if I open the door.
Had a dream that guests arrived early and we didnβt have the cheese I planned to serve. And another absolutely awful dream (like fucking WHY brain. WHY did you show me that?!), but Iβll choose to think about the cheese.
I think the universe is telling you that you need to buy Emergency Cheese.
Emergency Cheese has a tendency to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. If I have emergency cheese in the fridge, I find I suddenly have an emergency that requires cheese.
Cheese shopping is on the cards for this evening!
Wind's howling
Edit: I'm going to brave the outdoors anyway. Feels like temp is still below zero out there, so if you don't here from me again assume I turned into an icicle.
