Hi everyone thanks for all the kind replies yesterday, I really appreciate them all ♥️
I'm okay, the reason the nurse on call (which is a fantastic service btw) wanted me to go to the ER was (I'll try and be brief, to spare you all the grossness), because they thought there might have been bile in my vomit. The ER confirmed I probably don't, and ruled out any appendicitis or serious bowel/stomach issues. They think I probably have gastro, which is shit, but I'll be right in a few days. They also gave me an anti emetic so I was able to have a rest
I'm back off to sleep, but I should be right. Thanks again everyone for your well wishes 🫂
- Thanks for updating us. Gastro is no fun at all, so make sure you look after yourself.
  
  Yeah, it's pretty miserable, but hopefully I'll be through the worst of it within a few days
- I am glad it is nothing serious, Baku, I was worried. Keep warm and take care, thinking of you 💜💜💜
  
  Thanks stud, you too 💜
- Nurse on call are great! I called them when I was having issues with a medication and they were super nice and chill. Glad to hear you're okay Baku! 💖💖💖
  
  Thanks landshark 💖💖. They are really good, even just having actually confirmation on whether there's any potential problems can help a lot
- Nice.
- Glad it wasn't anything that required a stay in hospital.
  Hope you feel better soon and thanks for letting us know how you went.

I've officially moved into my new place. It's so different and feels so normal. Like.. there's just (sharp) knives out in an unlocked area, that's not something I've experienced (save for maybe hotels and such) in about 5 years
It's so bittersweet, obviously it's more bitter than sweet at the moment and I'm a bit of a mess. But there's a lot to like about this house, and the freedoms that come with living here. I think the best part is just that the people I'm living with all seem respectful, and that's already leaps and bounds ahead of how things have been in my last place over the last few years
- Woohoo! Can't imagine making a big house move with gastro. You're a trooper!
  
  Yeah that part wasn't very fun, but I luckily didn't have to go grocery shopping today, and there were a few other people helping me out
- Where were you living before this?
  
  residential care
  (I also wrote a bit more info here, if that helps)
- hugs and congrats . This is wonderful, you will shine in your new position and home. 🤗🤗🤗
  
  🫂
- Hooray! You're finally in. Proud moment mate, we're all with you. You're going to be fine.
  
  Thanks hongo
- Gastro and moving are stressful enough individually, let alone together… hope you settle in well and enjoy your new surroundings
- I'm a bit late to the party but congratulations mate!
- Great to hear it’s good so far. Hope you settle in well and can start to feel like its your home.
- 🖤
- At least the moving day is over, and good news on the other people living there. It takes time for somewhere to feel like home, hopefully as you make the space your own it will start to feel cozier.

Here's something I never thought I'd get to say: I got to rescue Bluey. My neighbors have a Blue Heeler. They also have young kids so of course, she's named Bluey. Anyway somehow she got stuck out the front and no one was home, so I went over and helped her out. She was terrified till I reminded her we've met before and she was like "OH! You're a friend! Awesome!" and gave me lots of pats.
- Yay for rescuing Bluey. I hope she's okay.
  I'm trying to make friends with my neighbours German shepherd puppy so he remembers us and doesn't lose his shit every time he hears us moving around in the backyard.
- Well done on rescuing Bluey!

I said I wasn't going to diarise here anymore - but as an update, I have had a phone interview this morn, and have an in-person 3rd interview booked for Wednesday.
\ That's all.
\ Apologies for the interruption, please continue and mind me not. 🤷‍♀️ 🤷‍♀️ 🤷‍♀️
- Diarise as much as you want, stud. After all, if everyone stopped sharing their life updates, or even just day updates, the DT would be dead
- Please continue. I’ve actually been a bit worried because I haven’t seen you post much lately.
  I hope you’re ok and things are going well.
- It's allll coming up ~~Milhouse~~ StudSpud
- I knew you when you were Studcrud so don't forget me when you're rich and famous. ☺
  
  Studcrud
  😭😅
- I've kinda stopped journalling, cos I'm finally finished most of my planned stuffs. Move, transition, work out how I'll deal with transition, get sober, quit shit workplace and toxic industry, get new job, start exercising again. I'm still around and replying though and still read all your poems. Not going anywhere. Can't wait till I hear about you getting some work.
- Is it a job interview? I like hearing people getting interviews lined up. Gives me hope the job market isn't dead.
  
  Yep. Looking for phone monkey work bc I hate myself. But yeah, both are for interesting companies in industries I haven't worked before, so I am curious to see how far I get with either of them.

Monday morning in the office is actually pleasant for once. The group of cackling hyenas is nowhere to be heard.
Blissful
- I've started going in Wednesdays since I basically have the place to myself. Its amazing.
  
  Our Wednesdays are very busy here. Bosses actually encourage more people to come in for socialising and shit. Hard pass from me.
  Today is deader than normal, I'll enjoy it before the inevitable return of the herd next week.
- I hate the Hyena's at my work. Very little self awareness and obsessed only with themselves.
  
  I'm fine with people being loud in the lunch room and such but having a loud chat at someone's desk and distracting others is a big no-no. One of our directors is on my side and has been sending reminders on proper office behaviour (as per our guidelines). Not sure if the hyena pack read them or not.
- I don't seem to have the rowdy crowd at my work either, today. It is rather pleasant. Hopefully tomorrow will be the same.
  👾
  
  We've got about 50% of normal Monday staff in today. I'm guessing people are getting hit with the flu and covid still

Fuck I love a British crime drama! 60% actual crime solving, 10% HR nightmare, 10% rain, 10% you recognising actors, 5% places that sound like they belong in a fairy story, 5% people talking really fast. It's just brilliant stuff, it's perfect turn your brain off telly even though that's not it's intended purpose.

Day 29 of exercises completed. I've got one day to go before I've completed the program! Woo! I've never stuck at any exercise program for this long in my whole life before, and I have you folks to thank for your ongoing encouragement and support! Now I've got to take a look at what my next step is..
- Well freakin' done, that's awesome! It's been great following along your fitness adventure! Looking forward to hearing what's next!
- 💪

Today I'm being introduced to the clients I'll be responsible for. It's starting to get serious now which is exciting!!!

Jesus Christ I'm tired. I didn't even do much over weekend.

In the past year I have donated/given away/sold about 20 big garbage bags worth of stuff. I'm always decluttering but amazed, in a bad way, how little impact it seems to have on the home.

You know when you collect books because a subject interests you. Well

Image of 2 stacks of cleaning and organising books
Ironically they're a little dusty and the one I'm looking for is hiding somewhere.
- Oh I forgot to add, 90% of my book collection are fantasy books.
  
  Mine are hard sci fi, it's ruined me. Whenever social issues come up my natural response is to suggest solutions likely more applicable several centuries in the future. Climate change/major extinction event? Move humanity to orbital habitats and minimise surface visits to required scientific study or biosphere maintenance! Preserve the only known cradle of life (Earth) as the unique resource in the universe that it is. I honestly struggle to think in any other mode lol
- Mine are definitely writing and editing books. Along with philosophy.
- Mine is art books. If I include all the books husband discarded when we moved I would have 3 complete art encyclopedias, one set in french. Maybe another 100 books on the different schools of art, art theory, technical aspects and artists
- Ooohhh I know what to get you for Christmas now!
  
  Why not? Always room for more.
- I have a couple of cook books, never used them before :/
  
  A couple? Really? There you go
  
  Image 2 shelves of cookbooks.

Holy hell the current 14 day forecast for Las Vegas does not dip below 40, and I believe it has been going like this for a while before now too. Bunch of 44's in there. Could you imagine the Melbourne power grid meltdown?
- It's going to be an interesting summer in NSW regardless, as they don't have as much spare generation capacity when compared to other states.
  Vales Point power station has just been given a few more years due to the power shortage there.
- So hot overnight too. I guess it's all a/c there, but jeez.
- Ouch. Vietnam was in that range when I first went there, I was drinking a ton and still got deyhydrated because my body just couldn't absorb the water fast enough. It's also an extra shock when you travel from a Melbourne winter. I assume the Las Vegas dry heat would feel different than the humid heat, but it's definitely way too hot for comfort.
- Mmmm. That's my kinda weather 😎

I know that I work 11-5 so it's only part time, but the time I wake up it feels like a full time 9-5 job. Gosh, I can't wait till my probation is over and ask to work from home one day. Mostly for my chronic pain but also going into work 5 days a week is tough.

Back into work after a week off.
I can do this.
- One week off is never enough,
  \ Going in you are so damn tough!
  \ Rock their worlds, make it rumble,
  \ When you arrive, there'll be no trouble
  \ You can do that, you got this!
  \ You are strong, cool, fantastisch!
  
  Oh Spud, you make me chuckle. Thanks.
  I work for myself, but I still appreciated this. It's all organising/order catch up/stocktaking stuff. It's fine. Not exciting, but fine. At least tomorrow I can get back into the fun stuff.
- How'd you go? You did it, I'm sure! Time for a sweet treat?
  
  I DID do it. I got through all the administrative stuff, reconciled a bunch of transactions in Xero, prepped a bunch of things for tomorrow, got orders ready to send out tomorrow. Tomorrow will be more fun than today, but today helped me get ready for the rest of the week.
  Time for sosig and potato gems.

Since I'm in a cleaning mood I thought I'd share some hints for you so let's talk about drains. Now people will tell you just "pour some bi carb and vinegar down there and it'll unblock it. It works for me" and I say no. There's more to it.
Blocked drains: Step 1. Go outside and locate your overflow relief gully (org). It's usually located outside the toilet. Make sure there's nothing blocking it like leaves and shit.
Step 2: Buy a plunger and plunge the hell out of ALL your drains not just the one that's blocked.
Step3: Now pour some bi-carb and vinegar down ALL your drains. You might as well do them all at once. But add a big squirt of dishwashing liquid down with the bi-carb and vinegar. Plug all your drains. Including your shower just put a scrunched up wet towel over the hole. Close lids on toilets. Step 4: Go and make a coffee. You've earned it.
Step 5: Go and fill up all the bathtubs, sinks, basins, troughs, etc with cold water.
Step 6: Release the biggest one (usually the bathtub) and all the other sinks and basins. Flush all the toilets. This causes pressure in all your pipes dislodging anything that might be blocking a pipe. I call this "El flusho" and it's quite fun. Please note: Keep the shower hole blocked with a wet towel otherwise you might have raw sewerage coming into your shower which ain't pretty.
Step 7: Do these steps on a regular basis (around every 6 months or so) to keep your pipes free. It'll save you time and money when your midnight shit doesn't go down and all of a sudden you've flooded the bathroom floor. Prevention is better than paying out $$$$$ for a plumber.
Smelly drains: The most underrated chemical you can use for this is Cloudy Ammonia. Found on the bottom shelf in the cleaning aisle of the supermarket it's cheap and pretty harmless. Pour a half a bottle down a stinky pipe hole and let it sit. Repeat if necessary. The most common reason for funky pipes is stagnant water. Cloudy Ammonia will help this.
You are welcome people. ☺
- Step 1. Go outside
  Bull immediately plummets 11 storeys to his death
  
  Well if Bull does, Bull needs help. Please proceed to step 2.
- Ammonia warning about mixing it with bleach. It produces Phosgene gas aka Mustard Gas which will totally ruin your souffle.
  
  Phosgene isn’t mustard gas. Phosgene is COCl₂ – it works by disrupting the blood-air barrier, eventually causing pulmonary edema. You won’t produce that by mixing ammonia with chlorine bleach.
  Mixing ammonia with chlorine bleach can potentially produce nitrogen mustards. These work by producing cyclic aminium ions, and are cytotoxic.
  Note that it’s an incredibly bad idea to mix ammonia and chlorine bleach, but it’s still better to avoid misconceptions about chemistry.
- NOTE: there are different types of plungers for sink drains, floor drains, and toilets. One size does not fit all.
  
  That's true. I have 3 of various sizes.
- Don’t bother with the sort of plunger that Rayman fires at things. Go straight to the accordion type.
- Thanks for the tip, particularly re ammonia. Whenever the kitchen drain gets stinky I’ve been pulling the pipes underneath apart and cleaning them. I like your method much better
- Would it be easier to just melt whatever is blocking your drain with lye?
  
  That’s what I was thinking. Draino works a treat. If it’s tree roots though causing it you are fucked.
  
  You could but I wouldn't use caustic soda in my pipes. A bit of overkill and it may not work everytime.

It's always fun when I get home from work and declare "it's time to de-drag" like I'm a drag queen who just saw their friend eliminated off of Drag Race.

Came back to work hoping past me had left some kind of chocolate treat in my desk drawers, but no such luck. A good thing given the half tube of Pringles I ate last night. However, it still makes me sad.
- I can so relate. Past-me is a bit of a prick!
  
  "Dear Homer: I.O.U one emergency doughnut. Signed, Homer." D'oh!

Tasmania now has a Minister for Stadia. Leave your best Google Stadia jokes here.
Here's mine: I wonder when this'll show up on killedbygoogle.com.

Went to make a cuppa in the work kitchen and found a tray of arnotts biscuits on the table. The kingstons had already been raided, the SOBs. Got a Monte Carlo and a Nice, though 👌
- Nice. Nice? Nice...

Spent a while this morning learning how to send myself emails within the google ecosystem with hotel reservation details so it auto-adds into my calendar properly, for when hotels don't send email confirmations with the correct markups or in my case, when I wasn't the one who did the booking. Was a fair bit more involved than I initially thought but eventually nailed it. If anybody needs or wants to know how it's done let me know and I'll write it up. Can do it for a bunch of different booking types: flights, events, car hire, restaurants, etc.
It's all hidden data that gmail can grab: ::: spoiler image is an example of a hotel booking
:::
- That's incredible, a lot different than the old "ring up a hotel, get a verbal confirmation, they send a paper booking in the mail, you put it in a deadtree diary/schedule. "
  It must have been different again when there was only postal service. Before that messengers or just turn up at the inn!!

Walking past the soon to be reborn Clifton Hotel in Kew Junction and they were putting in a big woodfired (I think / hope) pizza oven which is very dangerous as it's so close to where I am.
It's good to see someone's picked it up and restoring it. Will be disappointed if they're pushing $15 pints though.
- Yoooo I think I might've driven past you (not that I have any idea what you look like). What do you think of the Skinny Dog Hotel upgrade (they haven't finished yet. I've never been)
  
  I'm hoping it's going to be this sort of roof top terrace thing overpopulated with heaps of plants. Current little beer garden they have out the back overlooking the leos carpark doesn't really cut it heh.
  Their chips are amaze though.
- The danger factor is how much the pizzas cost. Hopefully they do a cheap weekday special if they are crazy expensive.

I kind of made this tonight
Chinese broccoli and mushroom stir-fry

Image of a bowl of spicy thick noodles with vegetables.
- Looks nice, funny as I was thinking about how to make hokkien noodles for dinner one day.
  Minus the spice and I’d be all over that.
  
  It was really easy and adaptable.
- Beautiful!
  
  Thank you. It was really simple but delicious.

Extremely intense and draining day. I've stopped by at mine to wait for western suburbs traffic to die down before making the trek back out to the house because I refuse to join in that mess (also I get to water my plants!). I'd be happy not to touch my steering wheel for the next 4 days. Absolutely sore and knackered from all the trudging around today as well.
Finished Mad Men s6 last night. Possibly the weakest season just above s5, but those last two episodes were absolute corkers and had that classic impact from s2-s4
- Hope you manage to get some rest.
  How is your neck and shoulder doing? Has it gotten any better since you were having bad pains with it?
  
  Just got back to the place I'm housesitting. All showered and clean, cat fed, rice cooking, I'll be out like a light by 10. The neck and shoulder are definitely better than before but there's a residual ache/tension that comes up when I'm stressed out or in one position for too long. I am not postponing that therapeutic massage this week...

I think the monster 👾 found where I work. Things got hectic here for a bit, and I'm pretty sure it was involved. I would very much like dull monotony back please.

Ugh I just want to hibernate from everything right now until it becomes warmer. Have zero motivation for anything unless its over 21 degrees outside.

Lemmy is great! Oh no, Lemmy.world is down again, I’ll just use my Aussie.zone account and I can post here. Way better than reddit outages.
- Oh no. I think that was my fault. I was looking at a sub over there and I think my monster might have got into their system.
  👾 👾
  
  Haha. I had my own Lemmy server until 2 days ago but the database got to 40GB and I realised that if I wanted to keep it going I would have to pay $60/month for a dedicated server and even then in a year it would get worse. Considering it was just for me I went back to public servers.
  The funny part is I used the domain I purchased which was Lemmy.fail
  It lived up to expectations.
- I'll have you know: I've broken Aussie.zone twice!
  
  Haha! How is the db size going? It seems to grow really fast.

:)
- (:

I still have not watched The Great Escape, The Castle, Casablanca, Love Actually, Reservoir Dogs, Wall-E, Schindler's List, The Green Mile, etc etc
- Just out of interest, why? Just have no interest or haven’t got around to it etc…?
  
  Haven't got around to.
- Casablanca is so good
- Oooh you'd probably lose your mind if I told you everything I haven't watched... (I don't really like movies, generally, so most popular things everyone raves about I've never seen)
- I still refuse to watch Titanic or read Dan Brown novels just because I believe that heterogeneity in human meme exposure might be important. This is easily the weirdest belief I maintain but I'm sticking to it. 😉
  
  I haven't watched Titanic either. All I have seen is a clip where she tries to whistle while in cold water. Saw it on a survivalist show.

Can't sleep -_-
- clowns?
  
  That'd be novel if they could keep me up.

Yay.
The 2 Apple TV subs stacked so now I have 8 months of it for free!
- For all mankind is a lot of fun.
  
  I didn’t get around to watching that last time and I see there’s a few new things and also new seasons of things coming soon that I’d like to watch.
  Shrinking is on my list of things to watch and waiting for more Morning Wars.
- Severance and Foundation were great.

I've been looking at my meter readings and surprisingly I seem to have managed to use less power for the last couple of months than the same time last year. It has been so cold I expected it to be more. The heating definitely chews through the power though, there are major spikes on cold days. Hopefully if I can get reverse cycle systems put in I'll be able to save some money, and actually be warm.

Seagoon movies. Mortal Engines. I just could not get into this Steam Punk Vernian /Howl's Moving Castle pastiche but if you love steam punk post apocalyptic stories you will love this a lot. It looks glorious , has an original idea and some good characters. Trailer; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRsFc2gguEg
And that's it for daily movies , I've been watching so much telly and movies the past few years I am filled up. I also notice that for me it's consumption of another person's whole vision. There is no room for my own creative thought. To have a fresh mind I need my own real experience and if I can't have that then books and music.
So movies and telly only on the weekends from now on. I still love movies so much 💗💗💗, just need to regulate my watching.
- Oh God that movie. I just couldn’t. No hobbitses. You have stamina
  
  I give it 2.5 hobbits for it's lush visuals and costuming and it really does embody the spirit of steam punk. An Orwellian future dystopia with 19th C antiques and a bit of grunge.
  also, I can still talk movies all day, just keep the new stuff for weekends.
  Another thing I noticed about watching so many movies is that I don't have time to reflect on the art and meaning of what I see. Never went past short term memory. Movies are worthy of thought and should be watched in a good way.
- I do the same. I don't listen to other peoples music when I'm creating my own. Makes total sense.
  
  Really? This makes me very happy. 😊🤗

Any other parents here use a pocket money app? Recommendations? My current system of marking it on the fridge has some drawbacks....
- How old are the kids? I have used Spriggy since my kid was in about grade 5 or 6, and that’s worked fine. He has a card to use for spending and I can update it when funds get low.
  
  7 and 10. I think Spriggy is the one.
- Just use bank transfers.
- I can't think of what I'd need an app for? Do you pay them per job or something? If so, we do have a sort-of currency with Garmin Junior stars for chores.
  They get $2 cash each week (We pick up coin rolls and dispense them) and $10 cash they take into the branch to deposit each month.
  They can do whatever they like with the coins, but they never really see the deposits again. Hopefully will be a couple of grand when they're 18ish.

A surprise early Strange New Worlds was a welcome addition to my Sunday night. As was the surprisingly good Beef Madras from coles.
- I was massively confused when I queued up SNW and Lower Decks started playing.

🤨 Big W cat litter has increased from $19 to $25 a bag

Listening to an interview with John Waters. 💗

Hello brains trust, I’m seeking appliance advice.
Thinking of getting a split system for heating/cooling as gas heating costs are nuts and we also don’t have aircon, so combining the two seems like a good idea.
Could anyone suggest brands to check out or avoid, please?
So far, I’ve heard Mitsubishi and Panasonic are good, but am a bit unsure about where to start
- I'm looking in to them too. I don't know whether to try to choose a brand first, then try to find a decent installerr, or pick an installer and choose from the brands they sell. I really just want to wave a magic wand and have it done.
  
  So many options! I didn’t think of going through an installer - will check that out
- Apparently there's a difference between Mitsubishi heavy industy and Mitsubishi electric. You want the former.
  
  Mitsubishi Electric are still decent. Mine is around 10 years old and I let it get dirty and never serviced it. It was full of cat fur and mould. I paid someone to do a full clean and now it works like new.
  
  Thanks for the info!
- Choice magazine placed mitsubishi heavy industries just above Daikin, which are kind of the BMW of split systems. Might be worth seeing if you can find a choice review, but I think you'd need to be a subscriber. My mate is a subscriber and that's where we looked them up, last year sometime. I moved out of the place I was looking to install one in and my new place already had this one installed. It's been on almost every day since I moved in in May. I have one here, it's great though a touch underpowered for my whole flat but it smashes one room if I close the door to the bedroom.
  
  Currently have Panasonic and seems fine so far, but it’s not very old so don’t know how good the longer term reliability is. Don’t be tempted to get a smaller unit that needed for the space, the sweet spot for efficiency and function is having a right sized unit. Check the cost of installation before you buy a unit. Installation can be expensive, and if you have an older house and switchboard is not to current standards there may be a requirement to update it.
  Edit: oops replied to wrong comment in thread.
  
  Thanks for the tip, I’ll check out choice reviews. I’ve been thinking of getting one for years but am the queen of procrastination, so keep putting it off

Today I learnt about the sport Extreme Ironing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ironing
Now it makes sense, cue Divine , "Can't you see I'm ironing in here"
- Ironing is very zen.
  
  Could you turn that racket down, I'm trying to iron in here ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FcIgV49-Vw
  ( I used to say that to Miss Seagoon all the time. We'd totes crack up laughing. )

TIL that the 3M Part number for the aluminium tape that goes on airplanes, is 420.

A very up and down day. Mostly down. Terrible sleep made for a moody office day. An afternoon pick up in energy came, then got a job application rejection email to end the work day after a good interview on Friday. My experience didn’t align apparently. Fair enough but still stings. Never going to leave my current job at this rate. Finished with a good gym session to process all of today’s emotions. Ready for a deep sleep.
- I'm hoping for deep sleep myself as well so fingers crossed for us! Hope it's a better day tomorrow for you.

Not sure if this is allowed but if anyone has Apple TV and doesn't have a current subscription, you can get 2 free months via this promotional link.
https://redeem.services.apple/en-au/stephencurry-pty-tv-2m-social-2023?itscg=80121&itsct=UND_SC_social_2M_23&rt=social
Don't forget to cancel the sub after redeeming it so you don't ger charged.
- I hate apple tv with a passion
  their app sucks so bad, if you switch it on all the other apps are subsumed and you lose a lot of functions
  If you search in their app they will always give the most expensive option or say what you want doesn't exist.
  the controller also sucks
  
  I’d rather use Apple TV than Stan any day of the week.
  
  the controller also sucks
  You can train another remote to work. There's an option in the settings.
- Also works if you've had Apple TV before. Thanks for this!
  
  There's also another promotion if you own a ps4 or ps5, assuming you haven't used it in the past for an extra subscription by using the Apple TV app on said console.
  I'm going to test it out when I get home to see if it works and if it can stack on top of this promotion.
- Amazing thank you we were just discussing getting Apple TV last night

Indonesia should have spam laws.
My Telkomsel SIM card gets multiple offers and promo messages daily from the carrier with a few different numbers. They're all legitimate links but it's getting really annoying lol.

Ok, 8hrs of Scott & Bailey last night probably wasn't a good idea, my dreams today were mostly just made up episodes Lmao

It's not what's said, what's implied, read between the fucking lines
- okay

YouTube had static posts now...? When did that happen... I keep waiting for the video to autoplay then realise it's just a screen cap or something.

I found another Bluey on r/place . 🤗
- I FOUND SNOOPY ♥
  
  💗

About to try a method of scrambling eggs in the shell before boiling them. Wish me luck!
- what what what is there a recipe to follow? instructions? ma'am! pls. tell me your secret egg ways 🥺 🥚
  
  I tried to follow a YouTube video but I did not spin it a dozen times. Haha. So no scrambled boiled eggs. I might try one more egg this afternoon. I used a stocking sock.

Lmao there's two huge bugs ripping right through my section right now, people either have a cold or having it coming out both ends. Who'd have thunk bringing people in full time suddenly would create a cesspit of germs.

🥔
- 👾

God I’m ranking season two of The Bear as the most entertaining and intense series of tv I’ve seen this year
- It’s so good. So frantic but wow. I see awards in their future. The actors and writers nailed it.
