Happy Tuesday! One day closer to Friday.

Question - what's your go-to breakfast? Mine is nothing at the moment, or just a protein shake.

I usually skip brekky and just have a larger lunch, but if I have a full day planned, I'll have either weetbix or jam toast

I discovered https://locationhistoryvisualizer.com/heatmap/ and I'm kind of amazed at how much I've travelled. It's certainly a lot more than I would've thought I would have 6 years ago

I do really need to get out to Albury, but unfortunately everyone else has the same idea and it's basically impossible to get a damn ticket now, unless I leave at 5am or go via coaches/the XPT

Time to return to the grind, parents are here to relieve me of my nursing duties so it's off to work for me tonight. Not going to lie I would rather be doing the nursing, I don't like people, but I do enjoy playing the role of Nightingale (after all I did study to be a nurse until I discovered my weak stomach for certain bodily fluids).

So occasionally I'll throw a bunch of white shirts into a bucket with sard oxy wonder + or whatever it's called these days for 36 hours.

That's not colour run..

I had spaghetti on the menu for dinner tonight. The sauce is already made, I literally just had to heat it and boil pasta, but it seemed like way too much effort. So I made Pad Thai instead. My brain is seriously weird.

I've been re-watching next gen for the third time and I can't see how people say the first season is inconsistent. It's great. Okay the black oil blob person thing was a bit silly, but the tribute to Natasha at the end was quite sweet. Cooking chicken drumsticks in the air fryer tonight, random seasoning. Hope it goes ok. They were $3.60 for a kilo, seemed legit.

I think the tradies fixing the heater at work are here early, because I swear the notice said they'd be here Wednesday and Thursday...

Luckily Critical Role is keeping the noise out, but during my lunch break It is so loud.

Completed some of the exercises but soon realised I'd run out of time and have to rush, and I hate rushing. Miniest felt ready to go back to school but her brother still not well enough. Struggled to get my shit together this morning. Got woken up at 3ish in the morning by someone rummaging around the kitchen for food, and I couldn't get back to sleep 😒

No bueno regarding the 3am wake-up, but you did some exercises! Big accomplishment!! 💜💜💜

All of my skin is so itchy right now, I can't stand it, but wont do anything to sort it other than scratching the itches.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago

hugs, it's spring, the season of itchy
