Definite yay, welcome to the expensive dark side

Set up and connected my new vinyl player, the records sound sooo much better. Got this player half price during EOFY sales, it was a steal. Having fun re-listening to my records sounding the way they should have all along.

Not too windy here yet but I can hear it picking up. Barely any rain either.

Edit - just as I said it’s not that windy, out of nowhere it’s gone really blustery!

It’s an inside weekend this weekend, it gonna be wet.

Amazing! Worth all the hard work.

It’s fine cinema, highly recommend

I needed some comfort TV so I’m watching The Room. Been years since I’ve watched it and it still delivers.

Yeah the same amount of liquid, I had enough to fill the amount I was cooking. Light is watered down already, for regular I’d use maybe 1/3 water.

Full replacement, but I used light coconut milk. Don’t think it would have worked full with regular. It’s delicious.

I used my rice cooker to make coconut rice for the first time and I’m sitting here wondering why I’ve never done this before.

Day 4 of sickness, still a snotty horrible mess. Used tissues all over the place. Forcing myself to do some work as to-do list is piling up and no sick leave and all. But my brain says migrate to the couch and watch TV all day.

Edit - the tissues are now in the bin, that’s better.

Popped some codral original night tablets before bed last night and had a much needed good sleep. I’ve got the energy today to vacuum / mop and water the houseplants. I really struggle to just sit around all day long when I’m sick. That’ll be it though as I don’t want to push myself too much.

This triggers a past experience I had with neighbours and wind chimes. And it was hung on their side patio right next to my bedroom window. Let’s just say I took care of of the issue ✂️

I bought my iPhone outright but I wait for a deal (ozbargain is a great resource) and I have my phone for 3 - 4 years before I upgrade. I use it all the time. It’s worth the splurge for Apple for me. But I agree with pricing, everytime I upgrade the outright price has gone up a fair bit.

I’ve caught some virus, feeling crappy this morning. Couldn’t sleep more than a couple hours in a row last night. Had a birthday party to go to tonight which I was looking forward to, think I’ll have to cancel 😞 If there’s a bright side to being sick on the weekend, I’ve got a lot of TV to catch up on so going to do some binge watching.

I’m a chronic overpacker so I need generous baggage allowances. For my last trip I had 32kg allowance! And you better believe I used it, I don’t let precious allowance go to waste. Left some spare kg’s on the way there and new purchases filled up the rest for the way back.

I also found this nifty gadget on Amazon to weigh your bag by trying a strap around the handle and lifting, so I know exactly the weight before going to the airport. Honestly it is a game changer. Baggage stress eliminated.

I was giving death stares to a person taking a very long phone call in the open plan area at co-working, pacing around outside of their office so as to not bother their staff but instead bothering everyone in the open plan area including myself (make it make sense). Doesn’t use the phone / scream booths right in front of him. Anyway, he finally got the message from my death stares and said “sorry” and went back into his office to finish the call. That’s my win for the day.

My last job, mandatory Monday morning in-office meetings when the first 10 minutes was wasted hearing about everyone’s weekends and having to explain what I did for my weekend. It was a truly horrible way to start each week.

I wrote my work to-do list for the week and it’s depressing, I have really fallen behind. I really need to be productive this week. Hopefully the small thrill of crossing off items keeps me going but for the last few weeks I have been really lacking motivation.

Back from seeing the new Jurassic World movie. So much dinosaurs eating people. Easy watching action movie, they have their place. 3.5/5
