    So, I have an interview today, and the HR rep said she’d email me a calendar invite confirming it. I have not received one, so I have sent an email to confirm it.

    I’m stressed that it isn’t actually booked in, and I’ll be travelling across the city for nada. Ugh.

    Edit: all good it’s confirmed 🤗

    It’s getting worse. I think it’s time. I’m leaving work early.

    I know this is a fact of life, but it’s a terrible fact and I hate it! Hug your animals for me and tell them landsharkkidd loves them very much.

    Meet Petunia. She is served as a 14oz prime rib, medium rare (which actually was more rare). Accompanying her is a creamy garlic mash, broccoli and a garlic sauce. To the side (not pictured) is a smoked Gouda mac and cheese and to drink, a Distinguished Gentleman consisting of bourbon, cherry liqueur and garnished with a cherry and orange peel served over an ice sphere.

    Coming shortly is a creme brulee to close out the evening.

          Hey HEY!! Petunia lived in the west wing (The Petunia Wing) of the famous chef’s villa. She had custom made Cow Nikes to make walking on the marble floors squishy and was potty trained. She will be SORELY missed by her family and friends.

      Home for the nice weather. And it’s such a nice feeling to get home and there’s no housework waiting.😊

        I’ve now made it a habit to tidy up the house as much as I can for a trip 5 or more days long - even if it means I’m up till 2am or am in a sweaty mess. First priority is packing of course, then dishes (including putting them away), overall tidying, bins, vacuum, laundry, and if I have time, new sheets. It’s so depressing coming back esp after a longer trip and realising you have so many chores to do…

    I’m still learning things on my watch and the other day I discovered that it wanted to record 10 minutes of non stop walking. No problems I’ll do it on a nice day. Well today is that day so I start doing laps around the house with little dog, the kid comes out to see what I’m doing. I explain. Surely it’s been 10 minutes now. Head over to her. She pushes a button and then the timer starts. I don’t swear in front of my kid but today I did which brought a huge smile to her tonsillitis face.

      When I meditate to a timer, I take a few seconds to make sure the timer’s running because otherwise that’s all I think about while meditating.

        I thought it was going but not showing. It said “ready set go”. The confusion happened when it congratulated me for achieving my moving goal but the whole time I’m thinking this better be working. Now I know what to do in future.

    So 2 weeks ago I saw a car I wanted. THE car I wanted. Well, not the colour, but the rest of it was perfect. This was the one I had been told would take 6-8 months to get. I figured “Cool, but Im not ready yet, and it’ll be gone by the time I am ready”. had a look Friday and guess what was still there? Called them, asked if they could hold it till October. They could. Took it for a spin, loved it. Chucked down a deposit. Job done. I need to figure out the money because we still dont know how bigger loss the stupid Mazda is gonna take. But its nice having a plan and a path out of this bullshit situation. Im wayyyy less stressed because I may not be at the finish line, but I can see it in sight.

      Must have been happy and exhausting after today.

      Maybe do something simple but satisfying if you’re feeling the way you are now.

          That sounds wonderful.

          I haven’t had a pizza pocket in ages.

          I hope it was nice and tasty and those combinations of flavours I agree with totally!

    I just sent a donation to the wonderful artisan in Mexico who designed the pattern for the masks I make. 😷😀

    I don’t normally dream much, now I’ve dreamt twice in 24 hours. This virus is literally messing with my mind. Once about Ed Sheeran. I’m not even a fan of his stuff. Once about cleaning some woman’s kitchen so I could help her study law. I don’t know about law.

    Do people really dream about stuff like this every day? How do you not get distracted thinking about your dreams all the time?
