Went to the maxfax yesterday for the wisdom teeth and it costed $190 for a five minute conversation with the surgeon. At least he could tell me that one side of my jaw is shorter than the other, and that's what's causing pressure in my jaw and my subsequent sad resting bitch face. He said to do stretches and get botox in my jaw, so maybe the injections are something I can do when I have stable employment!

Dog sits beside me. I turn on the microphone. Dog runs away. I've been shamed.

Just got home. Closing all the windows/curtains/roller shutters worked. Nice 25 deg in kitchen. The effing houseplants will just have to cope with low light conditions for today & termorrer. Fussy little buggers.

Time to defrost an emergency quiche for din dins. Cbf cooking anything.

Note to self : restock on cheap white plonk suitable for drinking over ice. The current cardboard box is getting a bit light and sloshy.

I am now 100% outdoor cupboard free! The last two were collected off the naturestrip after a couple of hours. I pressure cleaned the deck they used to sit on this morning - it looks a bit shabby and it is very obvious where the cupboards were sitting and protecting the wood. Next step is to put a new coat of decking oil onto it, which is a few years overdue.

Sometimes I want to reach through my monitor and strangle the client.

Time for some r&r

Work complete. I'm going for a swim

Melbcat does not like being brushed. Last night she tolerated gentle finger combing and the fine toothed side of my own comb, but I just lost her trust again by going in a bit enthusiastically with the slicker brush.

audio visual cabinet has been sorted , I so want to reboot and reset all the devices so they at least sync but my husband would have conniptions

What a bloody bonza day! Beautiful weather!

Had some pizza for lunch, then scored a free frozen coke off HJs, and I am absolutely loving this toasty weather. Takes a couple hours to acclimate, and gotta watch the water intake, but I am absolutely in my zone today!

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I agree. I like the warm and don't even mind if I'm doing work outside. Feels alive to be challenged by the environment. ๐Ÿ™‚
