Today sucked for pain but I saw a skink in my house. Which was interesting. I’m glad Melbcat didn’t see it because even at her age she is a fantastic hunter.

No idea how it got in. Considered catching/shooing him out to avoid brutal murder by cat, but didn’t want to traumatise him or make him drop his tail. So I didn’t get any closer. Hoping he finds his way safely out.

Watching Terms of Endearment because it's supposedly famously melodramatic. Why is everyone in this movie so horrible/creepy. John Lithgow has such an innocent and smooth face though

E: how was this such a popular movie, so much schlock. I hate almost everyone in this. So manipulative! What a sign of changed morals...

I had this plunger thing I bought from Daiso that was great for making scrambled eggs. The MIL managed to break it and she couldn't find another one at Daiso recently.

It was already a cheap plastic French press, so I'll see if I can find an actual French press and replace it with that

This sounds ridiculously cute and now im on a mission

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

This is what it looks like. There are two discs at the bottom full of holes that mash and aerate the egg. It did a good job

I find the idea of using a plunger to scramble eggs way more repulsive than I should

It sounds odd using a French press. The cup from Daiso is this cute plastic thing with a little chicken on top of the plunger.

But damn, it scrambles the eggs well and is easy to clean

A fork in a glass works well too, but I found my little plastic plunger to be a bit more consistent

I don't even pre-scramble anymore, just bust em up in the pan 🤷‍♂️

I second this method.

Uni meeting didn't go as badly as i thought, but I've been feeling really out of it and congested most of the rest of the day. Brain really has taken a battering after the past few days and there's no rest in sight as I've got a major job ahead with cleaning up the house for inspection next week, and also starting to line up rental inspections myself (fuck that noise majorly, but I got no choice).

It's a real effort to try and relax and not constantly feel like I should be doing something
