I have now officially spent too much on Temu. I am completely out of money so will be stopping now. π¬ I was suckered in to buying a tool to make meatballs, so I guess meatballs will be on the menu soon.
Puzzles coffee review: solid "Meh". Hate the lid too. 5/10.
I was rooting around in the cupboard and came across these.
I have no idea what they are used for. Obviously one is a jug, one a glass and the other lid/saucer. I tried google search photo thing but they come up separately. What are they? Who gave them to me? Why are they a set? It's got me stumped.
Hard to tell from photo - what is the capacity of the jug? Cos you might might might be looking at an absinthe set without the strainer. Which would be a rarity as absinthe was illegal for a long time.
It's a teacup size so maybe 180-200 ml ish
Would not rule out the absinthe option as the size is about right. The saucer would be the spoon rest for the strainer after use.
Alternatively, the saucer thingy may be a spoon rest to go with the milk/sugar bowl as mentioned in the other comments.
Cream and sugar set? With the saucer to catch drips under the cream pourer?
Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. The "lid" fits perfectly on the "sugar bowl" but there's a lip on the top which must have a purpose. If it's used under the jug then there's no lid for the sugar. Maybe I keep digging in the cupboard. Maybe there's more I'm unaware of but doubt it.
Maybe the jug sits on top of the lid on top of the sugar bowl?
beautiful!
I'll have to find a purpose for it now.
I have a trolley that is one of those wire rack shelving dealies. I am trying to put a new top on. The new top will screw into four holes on the top of the unit. I cannot get these fucking cunts to line up, no matter how many times I template. I am enraged.
Put top upside down on floor. Put trolley upside down on top. Drill/screw into place from underneath. If screws are to go in from the top, then put them in before positioning the trolley. Blu tack is your friend here. I can never get templates right either.

I have no idea what HRV status is but in my old bed it was unbalanced. Every night since the new bed and mattress it's been balanced so I assume that is a good thing.
I definitely feel like I sleep better.
Heart Rate Variability. I'm not convinced of it's value as a health metric but I haven't read the research. e: I first heard about it on the Joe Rogan podcast over ten years ago when he still had interesting guests. I'm skeptical of anything I hear about on a podcast.
A low HRV is usually an indication of illness, back when I was tracking it I could tell when I was on certain medications by looking at the graph. Not 100% sure how scientifically robust it is but interesting to follow along for sure.
About to go at some gutters. Neighbours' big tree is overhanging the shed so they're always full. I like the tree and I'm fine cleaning it up (usually compost it) but he refused to pay for half the recently rebuilt fence so fuck him he's going get a lot of leaves on his side of the boundary. His leaves, my problem, soon to be his problem. He also has a pool so we're aiming there.
Yeah, fuck him. I'd be doing the same.
So far so good! Lots of induction and training to do. Will take up the rest of the week pretty much.
It's so nice to be back at work π

Man, that Rikodeine really throws a brick at your brain and knocks you out but not in a good way... I've only taken medication with codeine one other time in my life (panadeine forte after a wisdom tooth extraction) - and I hated how woozy and half-conscious it made me. Same with this. Where's the euphoria?? Ugh. It did help me stop coughing all night but I've been straight up unable to get out of bed for hours. I guess that's what I needed, but it feels like crap.
It's so perfect outside, I want to go for a walk and soak up the sun on a nice patch of grass, but I feel too weak to right now. Yet staying in bed all day will feel gross too. I don't feel like watching anything either. ...maybe I'll sit at the entrance to my balcony for a bit and just do nothing. What a crazy idea!
That all sounds par for the course with opiates. Doing nothing in the sun is probably perfect.
So I received a response from the bus company about the other night when the bus left without me. Apparently the bus driver was on break which is why he was parked past the bus stop. Apparently he checked his mirrors before he left but didn't see me.
The whole situation was fucking confusing. There were 2 buses parked after the bus stop: 1 was completely turned off with nobody inside, the other had a driver marked inside but was marked as not in service. A bus turned around the corner and I thought that was mine, but it was marked special and didn't stop. Then after it passed, the not in service bus changed its desto to my route and left without me. Something like this:
Also, the complaint was apparently filed under "failure to collect", and the email they sent me includes a link to an extranet page with guidance on how to respond to such complaints, but unfortunately PTVs IT department knows how to secure internal documents. This makes me sad, as someone who likes to read internal documents though. Interestingly they don't use a username and password, they just block unauthorised IP addresses from accessing the page at all through CloudFlare. beta.ptv.vic.gov.au does the same, which I only know because for some reason, some of their public facing links link to the beta page, which obviously doesn't work
I'm gonna make this tonight for tea tonight and I'm so freakin excited.

ooh that looks good.
I'm gonna pair it with lebanese rice, cucumbers and dolmades. And of course fresh lebanese bread.
Oh that looks amazing.
that looks delicious
I know right! I've made these components a million times and never thought to put them together on the same plate.
Started watching a K Drama last night and feel utterly sucked it. Might also just be bored at work, but I wanna go home and watch it! Also, my mofusand plushie has been delivered so I wanna see that! Feeling like a petulant child today!
Sitting at my desk and being blinded by the sun. This is wonderful.
