    how goods a new phone case. Makes it feel like a whole new phone. Clear cases are great and all, but that yellowing effect in time makes them look pretty crap. Black is where its at, no border on the screen.

    Hilarity with the Menulog order - poor bugger was circling around for 15 minutes. I finally went out to meet him when it looked like he was on the corner and he was just coming up the driveway, apologetic because he was 'having trouble with his GPS. Seemed quite surprised when I said I could see his progress.
    The cheesy garlic bread was cool but the Nasi Goreng was piping hot and delicious - could only fit in half and one piece of the bread, so I’m well sorted!

    IRL cakeday.

    Getting to work was crazy today - I somehow hit the link on my work app for the second client instead of the first, and only discovered the mistake when I was almost there - partly because a friend phoned to wish me happy birthday and proceeded to grizzle about how she’d lost something she’d bought yesterday at her local shopping centre. So has to phone the office and tell them to tell the client I’d be late. At least, given their recent track record, they were… reasonable.

    Both clients treated me very well - part of the reason I agreed to work today - and the (other) papou gave me four frozen meals from Greek meals on wheels that his wife hadn’t liked, so score. But I think next year I’ll take the day off.

    Anyway I got the notification that my click and collect from Kmart was ready so I went to pick it up and of course was behind someone who was having trouble with his order and had to return half the store. Finally got out of there and got a bahn mi and some cakey things from my favourite local bakery, as well as a bottle of pear cider.

    Now relaxing with the cats after a shower, and planning on ordering whatever looks appealing from Menulog.

    Poor Melbcat has another uti (or more likely the last one didn’t clear and complicated). So she’s getting put on the savage antibiotic that’s bitter as hell and risks eye issues. (Enrofloxacin.)

    It would be so nice if we could just catch a break.

    The meeting went meh, but I’ll share more later/tomorrow.

    In the meantime though, I have news that makes me happy. I installed the new RAM and didn’t break anything! I also bought the new GPU finally after being advised by the computer shop it would be compatible (I’d already checked, but I don’t feel super confident in these things so would rather have them tell me it will work. At least then if it doesn’t I can be like “hey, this GPU isn’t fit for purpose. Gonna need to return it thanks”). But $455… Fucking oof. It better make my games happier. Now to eagerly check the order page every hour until they ship it :D

    Edit: fucking of course right after I paid for it I’ve seen it elsewhere for 40 bucks cheaper. Ugh.

    Well one good thing about being officially sick is giving myself permission to do things at my own pace which is really nice. I had breakfast (!), and I haven’t taken any notice of the time or what I’ve “done” for the day.

    Which of course means I have actually gotten a couple of simple things done (long overdue life admin emails). It’s kind of nice feeling like I exist a bit outside of the usual bounds of time…

    PBS FM also just finished playing the most awesome remix of You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) I mean, that song has to improve anybody’s day, really. What a banger, especially when you get to the main chord trio after minutes and minutes of buildup.

    Also, MIFF tickets are online! They are so expensive. There’s an unimelb 15% discount code going around that is cheaper than the multipass tickets…
