Chocolate falls under the want, not need category ๐Ÿคฃ

I bought an excessively large bulk pack of dish detergent a while ago and definitely don't need more of that (and have dishwasher powder on the order already). I also have bulk delivery of toilet paper so should be right for those.

I'm putting together my shopping order and feel like there is something I wanted to get that I've forgotten. No idea what, I'll probably remember when I need whatever it was.

I just realised I'd forgotten about cancelling the insurance on my old car. Sorted now and a refund should be arriving shortly. Not exactly a windfall given the new insurance is nearly three times as much, but good to have back in my account anyway.

I know someone who jumped in a stranger's car thinking it was his Uber.

But really, mistaking someone's car for one available for sale is a bit of a compliment, considering all the cars for sale are freshly detailed. You'd never have mistaken my old car for one for sale as it's presentation was generally less than pristine.

The problem is that pedestrians often don't pay attention to where they are going, and if that involves stepping in front of a car without looking there is often not much the car driver can do. Although given how often people are wandering around oblivious with headphones in I'm not sure how helpful sound will be.

I just got back from dropping off my van at the auto electrician and will have to walk back in a few hours to pick it up. It's the last day wearing the fitness tracker for the study I am in, this week is going to have very different results from the last one, for which I barely moved from the couch because I had Covid. I guess that's the whole point of a control group though, to work out what normal variations occur so you can tell if your intervention is actually making a difference or just normal random variation.

It's good timing for the study to be over though, I want to use moving house to start incorporating some more activity in my general routine. It might mean shaking up Mr Woof's walking schedule, but as long as he gets to go out he should be happy. I'm hoping to get somewhere that has a few more longer walking options close to home, but moving away from Melbourne traffic means I will be more likely to drive places to walk too. I just need to get out of the habit of staying home as the standard.

When RTO = rostered time off it is absolutely fabulous.

When RTO = return to office it is absolutely shit.

Energy food please, I have lots of walking to do this morning.

Gosh, actually got 8/10. That was unexpected.

Given my previous performance in these quizes I'm going to guess I'll get 3/10. I will report back on the actual outcome shortly.

Having some colour is definitely good. Especially atfer looking too long at the modern grey look everything is done in these days. But there can be too much of a good thing.
