Facebook's AI search suggestions are crazy. Just saw one suggesting I might want to look for "mayo related customer service stories".

Procrastinating watching my uni lectures by trying to play Sweet Child O' Mine on the ukulele. I don't know how to read tabs.

@LowExperience2368 @Seagoon_
Tabs are great to learn finger picking.
Not all arrangements great.
Solo Ukulele für Einsteiger by Winifred Von Welti free ebook is good and all on YouTube, if you like classics.

I’m trying to force myself to sort out everything that’s been allowed to slide, take care of myself better, but am getting really anxious in the process. I keep running out of energy after doing something.

Also spending even on essentials is stressing me out. I’m still doing alright (touch wood) but it feels like another financial hit is always right around the corner and it induces a kind of panic. At this point I think it’s just ingrained. If you’re not aggressively saving you might regret it.

Oh no. While constructing my mega mousse I think the chocolate cooled down too much and it looks spotty. It tastes delicious though. Ah well. You live and learn and laugh.

*shitty mood COVID rant

Still no smell or taste. Busied myself with laundry and mopping to try and stop being angry. Can't go out in the backyard for too long because MIL had a dude over to cut down the bottlebrush tree and rip half the garden out. She hasn't got a plan really, just felt like replacing half the garden beds with more bloody lawn 🤦🏼‍♀️. It wasn't necessary and looks shithouse, just like the barren wasteland of a front garden I try not to look at. Still strongly positive test, looks like I'm out of work until at least Wednesday. As a casual worker this isn't good.

I generally despise lawn. It’s boring, water hungry, and itchy. Use clover or chamomile or something instead.

The sunny sky today has given me a lighter mood. And is going to be 20C the next few days!
