Oh no. The VPN is stuffed. What a tragedy.

Enthroned, I wear this crown of pain,
Nightmares filled my head again.
Grind my teeth to mask the fear,
All my demons dance and jeer.
Cloaked in stars, I shine so bright,
But I cannot see my own light.
Close my eyes and breathe in deep,
And feel the stars begin to weep.
All my demons dance and jeer,
Grind my teeth to mask the fear.
Nightmares filled my head again,
Enthroned, I wear this crown of pain.
YAY: day off - sneaky four day weekend BOO: no sleep from massive headache.
Might potter around and see if I can go get a massage to fix whatever has got caught up in my shoulder/neck.

Coffee, and a lightly toasted wholemeal muffin with smoked salmon, poached eggs and a rich fruity chutney.
Pavlova for me, and fish cake for Miss Meow please. Big servings, as Mr Woof would like to eat the leftovers.

Itโs a croissant sort of day I think
๐ฅ
Steak and eggs please !

550g of steak for breakfast is... Ambitious. I did my best
How is it that in every multipack of something, drinks/icy poles/yoghurt etc., there is always one flavour that sucks arse and nobody in the house wants? Carefully constructed awfulness.
I note you have chosen not to name the specific offending flavours. Go on, be brave.
Banana, mango, bubble gum, fairy floss, Blueberry. And strawberry. The real fruit is fine, flavouring is not.

No one would buy the awful flavour otherwise. All part of the great "I know what I want to make and you just have to buy it anyway" conspiracy. God forbid that we should actually buy what WE want. Case in point - bath soap. Every supermarket in Aust stocks one million brands of liquid soap, but only (at most) 3 different kinds of bar soap. I prefer to use bar soap in the shower - and the brand I prefer is only available occasionally. It appears that other folk also prefer this brand as it sells out in approximately 3 nanoseconds when it's in stock. Then there's a wait of months before it's in stock again. So when I see it I buy up several months worth. As do the other buyers. You would think the supermarkets would keep more of it in stock more regularly, but no. They want us to buy the liquid soap instead.
@Thornburywitch @Catfish liquid soap is waaaay more profitable. And worse for the environment. I guess maybe time to see if you can source your preferred brand direct from the manufacturer?

I bought a new keyboard. It's delightfully clicky and styled after the Famicom.
I should have stayed a night or two in hospital but I didnโt wanna. ๐
Now I swear doc thought I was faking and wouldnโt give me a script for anything stronger than nurofen.
I have terrible pain but limited loss in joint and muscle mobility and strength
this is what happens when youโre a fitter than most people your age ( which is pathetic considering Iโm unfit ) and diligently do sciatica exercises all the time
@Seagoon_ @CEOofmyhouse56 I am new to the chronic pain merry-go-round, but it seems doctors who don't know you well will pretty much assume this by default. It's exhausting. I even had the rural GP who ordered my MRI which showed clearly there was signal behave like there wasn't really anything more he could do. I think he was a bit grumpy that his diagnosis of "likely tennis elbow" was incorrect.
