The kid now has a cold. She walked in and said “I hate you” before going back to bed.

Last of work 🎉 !!

Pretty much managed to finish everything that needed finishing yesterday. Have a team meeting late this morning and my manager told me to piss off after lunch (he’ll cover for me if anyone asks).

I am very much looking forward to doing fuck all for a few weeks.

can’t stop thinking about googly eyes

where can I get some big ones, where are all the good statues that need googlies , where can I wreak mischief without getting in trouble

And work is done!!!

Last emails sent. Out of Office message set. Time to make some dinner, get some beers and stick my dick out the window so I can fuck the world!!!

Okay that last one is optional and probably won’t happen but the day is young!!!

morning teefs

Good night everyone 😘

I have a random deposit in my bank account this morning of $45.67 as Direct Credit ATO 🤔 feels incredibly scammy

I’m 10 days into one meal a day with no carbs, and I feel amazing. Today I feel like my mood was better than its been in months. Not hungry at all between meals, really enjoying what I’m eatin, which recently has been a 250g steak, a zucchini, an avocado and one other random veg, sometimes eggs sometimes not. One black coffee, one serve electrolyte drink, and lots of water

Huh, TIL that annoying classical hold music song that sounds truly dreadful, and has that high pitched bit that ALWAYS crackles out is an actual song that was released on CD as part of an album in the 90s. It’s actually not as annoying as it is on the phone. If it wasn’t hold music and I still stumbled across it, I would probably actually put it on for a bit of a chill vibe. As it stands, I think I’d just get war 6 hour hold time flashbacks from it

(High pitched bit that sounds like it’s melting the phone lines starts at 2:50)

I was just about to check my email for the estimated time for my grocery delivery today when they delivered it. Faboulous timing, they most often deliver around 11am for this time window. Mr Woof Is not happy about someone encroaching on our territory though.

Outside has descended to 30, and inside has climbed to 28.7. I reckon it’ll be cooler outside than in soon, so I might put one fan at one end of the house sucking in air, and the other at the other end blowing it out once it gets there

It is currently 31° outside, and 27.8 inside

I’m gonna turn on the high velocity fan I got from Kmart and hope that saves me today and tomorrow

I am kinda blessed to have a library in walking distance though. If it gets above 35 inside, I’m gonna bail and go spend the day there

E: oh, and the house is fine besides that. No complaints

I have decided to bake some biscuits for Christmas. I have narrowed my selection down to 8, lets see how many I end up doing! The current shortlist is:

• pfeffenusse
• Scottish shortbread
• coconut macaroons
• cranberry-coconut oatmeal
• embossed lemon shortbread
• Pizzelle (wafers)
• Chocolate Brownie Cookies
• “Oma’s biscuits” - another shortbread variation

I’m focusing on recipes that are not too complicated to make, keep fairly well, with at least a few that can be dunked in a cup of tea. I’ll give a few as gift boxes and take some to work, with the bulk of them to be a gift to my Mum - she has been making her own biscuits for years, but recently has started to find the effort a bit much, so I’d like to fill her biscuit jar with home made biscuits for a while.

I spent the morning browsing biscuit packaging ideas and printing some bags. So I didn’t actually start on biscuits until after lunch. I have made the cranberry coconut oatmeal biscuits & have the pfeffenusse dough chilling in the fridge.

Edit: I’ve also realised two of my biscuits are almost identical, just shaped differently. So Oma’s biscuits are being swapped out for jam drops.

Four out of eight biscuit batches have been made. Dough for two more chilling in the fridge for baking tomorrow.
