    Today was a new record, woke up at 7:30 but didn’t leave the bed - not even to go to the bathroom - until 6pm. I have completely checked out of all my obligations and requirements today… wasn’t gonna make me feel better with no food or water, but I don’t feel substantially worse either.

    At least I’ve got dinner with me now - a nice hearty Moroccan tagine packed with veggies, and some pappadums - dragged the laptop back to the bedroom and gonna binge watch stuff until I fall asleep. Maybe I’ll start with the movie CODA since I’ve been on an apple+ run lately (🏴‍☠️, of course)

    I think this is my body just going “you sorted out the car and job. NOW RELAX”

      Wow. That’s impressive.

      Sometimes you have to listen to your body and let it rest when it needs it.

      Dinner sounds yummy!

      It’ll be even more impressive if you can get to sleep at a reasonable time tonight.

    It’s crazy how much power a dream can have on us.

    Had one with my old man in it and I was a kid.

    Felt the exact same terror I felt when I was that age. There’s this look he’d give me and I knew I was absolutely fucked.

    I woke up semi hyper ventilating.

    Even after all this time, even as a grown man, you never forget that stuff I guess.

    If I were Prime Minister, I would make it law that if a Public Holiday falls on a Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday, than the rest of the week is also a day off. Who has the motivation to work today?

    Good news: the auction place will take most of the furniture that can’t fit into the new place that I don’t want.
    Bad news: I have to take it myself.
    Good news: it should fit into the new car, and my lawn guy and occasional helper will drop by and help me load up the car.
    Bad news: trying to get my Google profile for the business verified and none of the methods work. This is frustrating as I’m using the practice room as a sorting hub after I cleared it yesterday.
    Good news: I stress cleared the pile of crap I scooped off the floor and slung into a very large bag and most of it is now in the bin.
    Bad news: I have a headache bordering on a migrane and I really can’t stop to indulge it.
    Good news: the old cooking chocolate seems to be helping. ;)

            I’m okay with boganese.

            They’re very brave until they get close enough to judge the size difference.

            Got a ‘Sorry mate, we’re alright’ from it.

            The dude looked genuinely worried that his arse was mine.

    @Seagoon_ @melbourne So I stopped by Priceline while I was at the shops to pick up some foundation.

    On my way home, I noticed that I got the one that’s a shade darker than I normally get.

    Then when I got home, I realised that I had made the exact same mistake last time.

    The moral of the story? If you’re going to be a careless idiot, it pays to at least be consistent.

      I can’t help stupidity but I can tell you if you mix a little foundation with moisturiser it should be alright to use if you don’t want to return it.

        @CEOofmyhouse56 Thanks, that’s a really great tip 😊

        The good news is that the next shade up still works, and most days I only go for fairly light coverage.

    Someone has jettisoned the motivation module. I have notified Mission Control and initiated a strong cappuccino procedure.

      Caffeine procedure failed; now wired but still unmotivated. Please advise…

        @anotherspringchicken @useless_modern_god @melbourne If it’s any consolation, I’m feeling much the same way.

        Meanwhile, wifey is in the other room tapping away at her keyboard. At least someone in this house is being somewhat productive…

    When my husband and I started going out together, sometime last century, we would grab some f&cs and sit in a park somewhere. We’d declare it “International Fish & Chip Saturday Day”. So my question of the day is what would your International celebration day be and when?

      I read that ampersand as censorship and wondered how you could grab some fucks and sit in a park.

      If I could go it it’d be every Friday and I’d definitely do a stacked burger to my liking.

      Double Patties, lots of cheese, bacon and various sauces.

          @CEOofmyhouse56 @Duenan @melbourne For wifey and I, it’s wine and pizza night every Friday.

          (Except tonight of all nights — we’re having Korean food for take away.)

              @Duenan @melbourne I usually go for margherita, and wifey (ironically) gets the bacon cheeseburger.

              We’ve got a really good local Italian, but it’s pricey. So whether we go there or Domino’s depends on whether it’s pay week or not.

                @Duenan @melbourne Also, Korean take away has been pushed back until tomorrow.

                So it’s a wine and pizza night 🍕🍷

                And we’re getting it from the good Italian place

        I like that idea! Ps don’t wear white pants or be prepared to sit unladylike.
