How is it fair that I eat healthy for a week and feel like utter shit? Tempted to buy a cheesy crust pepperoni pizza from dominos…
Also another 35 applications done today.
Oh no, hopefully that’s not discouraging. Maybe there’s an adjustment period? Sugar withdrawal? (is that a thing?). I know that guts can go through some adjustment if diet changes to include more veg and fibre, but it will settle down fairly quickly. It’s just a bit of a shock to the microbiome.
Definitely going to stick to it. The positive mental health impacts have been unbelievable. Once the physical subsides, all will be well hopefully
Just reminded me, many years ago (around 2010 maybe), I ordered a pizza from dominos. It was awful, tasted weird and tangy.
A few years afterwards, I swear I saw a TV ad for dominos saying “now with real cheese”. Turns out they were using cream cheese or something beforehand. Never ordered from them again lol.
Not saying they’re bad now ofc lol
processed cheese product, it’s a common thing in the US. Aged “real” cheese is very expensive there.
🤮
It’s good healthy cheap food that has good shelf and fridge stability. It’s an excellent choice for people with not much money to spend. It’s also very high in protein. iow, it’s good food.
I used to buy processed pepper jack cheese to make nachos, it was so yummy and melted very well. I grew up on kraft too. Walnut cheese from Germany is also processed.
up and at em…! getting ready for work and planning to finally give my notice of resignation. I’m nervous but I’ve been feeling awful here for a long time.
People keep expecting good behavior from AFL players. Why? Young men that have been put up on a pedestal for probably most of their lives, then given a lot of money, plus the celebrity status they now have.
Money and power doesn’t usually equate to good behavior and yet people are shocked when they don’t play nice. What do you honestly expect? They are just football players and perhaps if folks stop giving the game more importance than it warrants them maybe you won’t create such big egos.
Cause for some stupid reason, we put them on a pedestal. Society glorifies sporting success rather than academic achievement or anything actually beneficial to society. Just cause kids look up to them doesn’t make them role models. They are barely more than teenagers who are either thinking about their next root or their next bag. And you know what? Thats perfectly fine so long as no ones getting hurt.
Very true. These 18 year olds aren’t selected because they are into politics, social issues, emotional intelligence. They are good at kicking balls and that’s great, let’s cheer them for their athleticism. But nah, I wouldn’t be looking to them for any kind of advanced social awareness. And they are at an age where they want to be doing all the stuff regular young adults do. Bit unrealistic to think they won’t.
You nailed it.
It’s also not newsworthy. Sports isn’t that important that I need to hear about some football guy every hour (radio on for the dog)
Still attempting to negotiate an agreement between my brain, the cats, and the clock.
Definitely time to reinstall the electric blanket…
Watching the cat snoozing under the heater while I force myself to go outside for an hour of lunch break exercise in the cold.
I am in a love hate relationship with my electric blanket. Love the warmth in winter, but it’s a bit lumpy and stiff. The warmth wins out though. Can someone invent a soft breathable electric blanket please. Agree it’s almost time to put it back on, nights are getting chilly!
I wonder if I should buy one of those electric throws from K-mart when I can afford one.
I haven’t owned any soert of electric blanket before but I figure it’d be nice to be on the couch with one.
Oof. Walking to find the ginger ninja cut into my physical energy so badly I crashed and woke up at 11pm, extremely dehydrated and very late with Melbcat’s supper and meds.
It might be that I can’t afford the energy, just don’t have the capacity to keep pursuing a cat I might not be able to catch. And I don’t have the comfort level to engage with rescue groups. (This would involve using Facebook, speaking to strangers, doxing my location, and perhaps being asked to meet or cooperate with them.) Currently it’s really difficult to even care for my own pet and myself.
There’s also online friend group drama which I didn’t cause and was not involved in… but am still stressed out by, and if I’m not careful I could be pulled into. I’m in an awkward position. (I absolutely have a side and am quietly distancing myself from someone due to their behaviour, but don’t want to feed into any escalation). I really hope I’m making the right moves to classily bow out.
Sounds like lots of signs to pull back and take care of yourself and melbcat. Rebuild yourself and let the universe find another way to care for orange cat and the conflict take care of itself. Hope you can get some good rest and cat cuddles
Thanks, the signs have been there for a while (and there’s bigger shit I don’t post) but like a numbskull I keep pushing.
I’m hoping orange cat gets picked up by someone else or recovers. I’d help if I was able but those orange buns are elusive.
Really don’t feel like gym tonight but it’s my second last training session before I’m on holidays for a couple of weeks so I’m telling myself to STFU and stop complaining.
I had the beginning of a root canal today and it was the first time I was in pain even with anaesthetic. Poor dentist had to squirt the stuff straight onto my tooth.
So afraid to bite anything using that tooth…
Can we go back to the golden age of appliances where they sung a song when finished and then shut up pretty please
We have a washing machine from 2009 and it’s very nice and respectful. It does its job, then it sings a lovely little song and then you won’t hear from it again until you start pushing buttons. The dryer is much newer because the last one conked out. This one will make a long beeeeep that ascends in tone 3 times every 5 second until you go and open the door AND turn it off (just doing one of those isn’t enough)
The air fryer makes an annoying sound, but isn’t obnoxious about it like the dryer
Everything should have a “mute” and “lights on/off” button.
Agreed. How dare a machine beep at me. Impatience is not a good look on a machine.
My washing machine makes 3 too many beeps for my liking.
My microwave beeps at me every minute when it’s finished to let me know to open it and yell “Are you happy now?”.
Those beeps are useful for things that you’re supposed to microwave and then ‘rest’ for x minutes
If I want it to time my resting period I just set the timer to run after the main cooking time.
Did you know the Wombat from Diary of a Wombat is called Mothball? It’s in the dedications at the start I think
Today is my day
How are you gonna spend your day?
I’m going to:
- finish my coffee
- get dressed
- get a cafe coffee
- walk around Savers
- cuddle the cat
- colonise Mars
Morning all
At the p’s clearing out their rain tank filters from on top about 2.5m up.
Reminded me when I was a teen scaling them (wasted) at night without a ladder full ninja to sneak in when I forgot my keys as the laundry window which was never locked is directly above one. Used to get in so much shit for doing that.
Now it’s sanctioned, with a ladder, sober and far less exciting.
I remember being accidentally locked out as a kid, and having no trouble breaking in through the aluminium-framed bathroom window. Bit of a worry in hindsight, and lucky there weren’t more crims around at the time.
Ahead full…
But sir - we’re being hailed by the Romulans!
I made a turtle coaster. I think he needs eyes.
make it biblically accurate
How?
Eyes as far as the eyes can see?
