Devoured a book in one day like I used to as a kid. So that's cool.

Downside is it was I'm Glad My Mom Died and I related concerning amounts with it. Need to process that, I guess. Good book.

Also I'm an absolute fiend for burritos lately. I want nothing more than to order one but I've already had like.. Three fast food burritos over the last 5 days and that's not sustainable.

I'm watching I want my MTV 80s and there's a common theme in all the videos.

Hats.

Forgot there was wet washing in the machine still, so back to the Laundromat lol. All washed and dried and back home, took about an hour. Got a cheeky arvo coffee and had a wander around between Victoria St and Hope St.

I almost don't want to fix the washing machine, it's nice having this date time with my SO. No phones or anything, just hanging out.

I’ve been cleaning out our storage unit and every time we go there my OH jokes that’s it’s a β€˜date’.

How did you go with the wet carpet? Hope the landlord was helpful with all of that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

They haven't said anything about it or nothing. I'm drying it out and then I can assess any damage. It's drying okay. Just concerned that it has warped the skirting board a bit. Hard to close the bathroom door ugh.

But yeah, radio silence from them, so I think I may have the time to fix it up lol

You know how sometimes when you're hungry you can open your mouth and saliva fires out from your salivary glands under your tongue like a friggin venom spitting snake? Usually happens at the worst times and a loved one might catch a stray. I might be nuts but I think I can do that on command. Is that normal?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Nornal? Subjective. But it's a thing people can do

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Some of us can gleek at any time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I used to be able to do it on command as a kid for a while. Like Spiderman but with saliva. And from under my tongue

Just had an Uncle Tetsu's cheesecake tart. Holy shit. Bad idea. It was soooo damn good I'll have to go back frequently

I woke up okay but procrastinated on my phone in bed to the point of a throbbing headache once again. And now I'm nauseous and feel extremely yuck. Why did I do this to myself? I can barely think now. I'm sure I would've felt a lot better if I yoinked myself out of bed at 9 and ate and drank like a normal person. Then I saw the news headlines and my immune system probably decided to give up at that point.

I am doing my best not to keep thinking about how sick I feel and woe is me. I don't think I'm actually sick sick. Having some fancy shop bought minestrone soup to try and soothe the system. Need energy to do some meal prepping and then pick someone up from the airport tonight. I can do this...

I know its early, but I wish to access the wisdom of the DDT hive mind.

Do I :

    1. Make chicken & leek & potato soup, thus avoiding going outside in this shit weather, and generating leftovers for the forthcoming week, OR
    1. Purchase fish & chips, thus keeping small business afloat and ensuring that fish&chips will be available in the future when I really really need them.

Please be honest.

EDIT: Fish & Chips it is. Bless all of you, unto the seventh generation.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I'm making fish n chips tonight!.. that doesn't help you at all. Geez I'm a dickhead sorry lol.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

hey - I had fish and chips earlier too!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Get fish and chips for energy to cook, then cook the soup and freeze in portions

Oe Noe! What brought this on?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Overwhelmed by the amount of clothes I have.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Reflect on the fact that there is a limit to how many clothes one can wear at any one time. Then consult the weather forecast and realise that there is in fact NO limit.
