    can I just say your food becoming like poison is not a good way to lose weight

    I would stand in my pantry surrounded by food and nearly everything that I could eat I would have had to cook .

    the fridge is a lost cause unless there is jelly or coconut ice treats

    sometimes I might eat a cookie and it goes straight through me but not before making my lips and tongue hurt

    I have become reaccustomed to fruit as a snack food

    Walk a blockie for mental health and bone density… detour to avoid crazy neighbour… spy a familiar voidish form in the alley. Should not have walked there. Sure enough when I get home and shut the door he saunters past and hangs out a bit.

    Tough love is hard. I’ve stopped feeding or interacting with the cat and try to avoid him now I know he has owners. Trying to encourage him to stay at home and get cared for by his people.

    But I am keeping an eye on his condition. 🫩

    Almost stepped on a tiny skink. Managed to hover my foot mid step as it ran away. So glad I didn’t kill it! I would have been so sad.

    Friend in Japan sent me a postcard with the sentence, “Hope to see you soon beautiful woman” written in Japanese. I sure hope to see her soon.

    Hmm… Carpet shampooer can’t exactly clean the cat tree and I don’t want to throw it out. I found a multi steamer that does carpet on Amazon for $150. It could be useful for this plus the next plague this cursed realm sends me. (There’s been quite a few.)

    I’m wondering if I should sell some of my existing stuff to declutter a bit and recoup some money. The budget is… looking very sad. But that means dealing with the public. And I would have to fix some stuff (particularly the low solar panel output which could be due to the crappy connections) which I don’t have the energy to do.

    Decisions can wait until I’m feeling less stressed

    Oh my poor kitties. The auto feeder is not dispensing what it should. No wonder they have been total cupboard goblins!

    Holy crap. Oil in the wok was a bit too hot/water content in food a bit to high and oil splattered onto the gas burner - whoosh. got it stopped but not before it made a mess of the range hood. Holy crap that was close. Gonna need a new rangehood (from whom does one even buy a rangehood?). Excuse me while I go freak out in the corner for a bit

      Scary. Is there any chance fire could have spread up the ducting in the rangehood? If so you might want the brigade to check the roof as a precaution - and you many need to get a report for an insurance claim too.

        that first kind of cough medicine gave me weird arse dreams. In one I was being chased by a mean Ricky Gervais. I like Ricky and was so confused. Another I met a childhood friend.

    Okay so I may have stayed up a bit too late watching Mentour Pilot on yt. This is satiating my aircraft investigations craving.

    I have never felt safer on a plane now, honestly.

    just under an hour ago about five fire engines and multiple ambulances / MICA just went flying up Chesterville road. Anyone seen any news on what happened?

      Most emergencies get sent more cars than you might expect, so it’s likely not as serious or newsworthy as all the action seems to indicate.

      Here’s the pager callout for 10.30 this morning:

        nope, that one isn’t it. I live near that corner, they were coming out of it and heading up towards the opposite end of chesty - southland end.

          It probably was the same job, they got an updated address after the inital page, it was actually further south. Turned out to not be anything dramatic, just a standard run of the mill accident which got a big initial response due to the initial description.

      Nothing I can see out that way now. Probably a report of a car accident, that always gets lots of trucks hurtling and most of the time turns out to not be as bad as initial reports indicated and they all turn around and go home again.

        yeah we’re kinda a thoroughfare for emergency vehicles, but this was a BIG lot. Like last time I saw that many was the battery fire. Usually we get a couple going through, but this was like GONDOR CALLS FOR AID

    I’m addicted to this game called Triple Match City. It’s like a Where’s Wally where you gotta beat the clock. Such fun.
