Waiting on more self watering pots so I can plant round little carrots and leafy greens. They were pricey but I know standard ones would probably be forgotten and dry out. If I donโ€™t wreck them I can just keep planting short lived herbs or veg.

The grass isnโ€™t up but itโ€™s only had a few days of light.

I wish I had the space, money and physical capacity for a real vegie garden. And a catio so the furry puddin could sit outside with me without doing a runner

Usually this time of year birds wake me up. Hasn't happened yet.

Sort of an eerie lack of bird noise in the morning and I don't know if I'm imagining things.

They must be all outside my window then... Been woken up by stupid early rising birds almost every morning all winter.

butters probably scared them off.

Butters has an interesting relationship with birds.

He knows he's supposed to do something, but he's not sure what that is.

Half falling asleep on the couch at 5:30pm on a Monday, guess I'm the dad now.

Hereโ€™s my dinner for tonight.

It was so yummy and it was nice that I was able to have a cheapish cauliflower today.

I present hash browns with tempura t-rex chicken and some cauliflower with some soy sauce.

I really wish you'd set out the dinosaurs and trees a little better like a diorama. Now I feel like t-Rex's.

More largesse has come my way today - a local food cupboard had a donation of bbq food that needed to be taken ASAP, so I grabbed a packet of burgers and some coleslaw. They are catering packs, so that's 20 burgers! I just had one for lunch, the rest are in the freezer. I'm going to have some awesome toasties over the next few weeks.

A big flat white, and the house cat to come sit on my lap and receive pats while I drink it.

Need to go into the city for an event that starts at 530pm on a weekday and goes into the evening.

Canโ€™t drive in - car too big for car parks (had to sell the small car due to cost of living and my OG struggles with the city car parks so I have no chance), canโ€™t get dropped off as OH is away on work, not sure if train station will have any car parks free at 4pm? Bus to train station would be a 4km walk each way, and not safe in the dark on the way home. A taxi/car service cost me $150 last time I had to go into the city (one way). Estranged from family, no help there.

Fml. Itโ€™s a job related event, not for fun. Itโ€™s not run by my employer.

[โ€“] oztrin@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Uber or taxi to the station and back?

I've been working out hard the last month - maybe there's results I'm not seeing but my weight is around the same range. I snack too much! What are some healthy snacks? I need to cut out on chips ๐Ÿฅฒ
