Midnight gnocci was great. I was a bit worried about having to cook the gnocci in the microwave, but it worked fine. I am now gnocciful and ready for the rest of the night.
It's nearly midnight gnocci time.
I've never really managed to get the hang of naps. Falling asleep during the day just doesn't happen.
The front bedroom was getting quite warm with the sun so I opened the windows to let some air through. Apparently ants were starting a nest in the corner of one of the windows, and few spiders had taken up residence as well. Windows that fully swing open to the inside are not such a good thing in this situation. Full barrier spray has now been applied around both windows and the dead ants vacuumed up.
The day has mostly been good though. I had a nice walk with Mr Woof and have done the weekly cleaning including a change of bed sheets, which are now on the line drying with another load of washing. And tomorrow is predicted to be sunny too.
I considered it a good sign that my REA looks to be an actual adult. He was also nice to Mr Woof, even though Mr Woof was being a bit hysterical about the home invasion (he did calm down a bit after I picked him up, being the same height gives a dog a lot more confidence).
What's everyone looking forward to this weekend?
I'm working nights, but am looking forward to a (hopefully) sunny afternoon dog walk and new sheets on the bed. Plus daytime snoozes with Mr Woof and Miss Meow are always cozy.
Life manages to be both fleeting and surprisingly long at the same time. Never put off things like travel plans because of that sort of fear, if you do you will find you've wasted your whole life fretting about things that don't happen. It's better to be prepared to cancel a plan if necessary than to never make plans at all.
In regards to the passport, your grandmother may be better off getting the full 10 years. She may not want to travel, but having identity documents can be very important and it can be a problem for older people when the documents have expired and they are not up to the trip to the post office to go through the renewal process. I've seen quite a few posts in the aged care groups I'm in from people struggling with bureaucracy because of this issue.
I've just spent hours researching the work related travel rules and setting up a spreadsheet as a travel logbook. It appears that with a second hand vehicle I can just do whatever I like for the depreciation timeframe. It seems a bit mean to be picking a time after which I think Todd will be worthless.
It showed my score as 4/8. Something went very wrong at question 7. It showed all the answers as being right and that's were the total score messed up too, it showed the total answered as 5 instead of 7 at that point. I went back and found if you answer it right it gives you two points for that question. So my second attempt I got 11/8
Traffic over the westgate was horrible this evening. Three and a half hours to get home. I was very happy to finally get to the toilet after that. The nice bit was that I got to see all the sky pretty today - sunrise over fog, hot air balloons and the lights of Melbourne this morning, sunset with both pretty colours and the light illuminating clouds from below on the way home.
