I just want to give a quick shoutout to the unsung heroes of Easter: Thumbnails. As in the fingernails on your thumbs. Is there any other time of the year when it's more important to have a good thumbnail?
If you're unsure what I'm banging on about.. check out my half-price post-Easter haul for reference:
Damn you got some premiums eggs in there. Score
Historically, my magic price-point has been $1/100g. I had a quick look at the easter stock this morning, nothing is below $2/100g. I guess I'm just not that desperate.
I hope to have a nap when I get home and settle down. I think I only got one hour's sleep last night :(
Extra long weekend thanks to food poisoning. Work may not like the extra time off but I'm not in the mood to do them any favours right now
oh no, i hope you're feeling better soon
Is it oodie weather yet? ๐ค
Already Oodieโd this evening. Hehe.
I think part-time. Morning and night shifts.
Package has moved from Sunshine to Westmeadows. I don't think that brings it any closer to me, but at least it is still on the move and not lost or forgotten.
Second night of constant droning noise. No idea what it could be, but it's loud enough to be heard over the rain.
Apparently this morning's power outage was a just preparation for tonight. I think a transformer just blew up - there was a massive bang, a flash of light and the power is out to the whole area. I saw a few neighbours heading up the road to investigate, but as I'm already in my pjs I'm staying put. The emergency app is showing it as a tree down on the corner, and I expect that I will have sleep broken by the sound of workmen and chainsaws tonight. My new little emergency torch/radio is doing a pretty good job at least.
