The new sleep mask was a definite success. I have done much sleeping.

Surely tomorrow needs to be 🐎
I’d like a super-deluxe American style hot dog with all the toppings, please.
Cheers ☕️
I hope it’s ok to do cheers with a hot Milo.
Pakidge! It must be my new doorbell camera. I stuffed up when I made my initial order and accidentally got the model which does not have a changeable battery, I have to take the whole thing down and have no doorbell while it recharges. So I’ve bought another of the same model, so I can just swap the whole doorbell over.
Erin Patterson’s appeal went well 🤣
There is something very satisfying about someone appealing their sentence and getting a harsher one.
It’s the same colour as the blue conditioners. I think that actually makes it worse, it feels wrong to have it in my mouth!
I did that for something from Officeworks once. It worked out well and no one batted an eyelid when I picked it up. But I’ve done a free delivery order for 30c before, so maybe ITA
I bought some new whitening toothpaste. It is dark blue. It is very weird brushing with a mouthful of blue foam.
Mr Woof’s dinner was not defrosted, so I had to open an emergency tin of sardines. He seems quite happy with that.

3·7 天前I have now ordered new headlight bulbs. Hard decision between brightness and longevity, but I’ve gone for brighter bulbs given the amount of night driving on unlit roads I’m doing now. Reportedly lifespan is often only around 8 months though, so I’ll have plenty of practice in changing them!

2·7 天前You have inspired me. I have my own compressor and my tyres were well overdue for checking, I went out and did that just after reading your post!
Then I got on a bit of a roll, I’ve now cleaned the windscreen (which had way too much bug residue) topped up the wiper spray fluid and checked what sort of headlight bulbs I need so I can replace those. The manual is useless and just tells you to replace the bulbs with the same type, but doesn’t tell you what that is. And it turns out to get to the bulb is a bit of a pain in the butt - it looked like it should be easy, but where it is positioned is jammed against other parts which make it really hard to manoeuvre, so that took way longer then I anticipated. But at least now I can find out what sort of bulbs to order. I don’t really want to wait for one to burn out, given I’m regularly doing night drives along the freeway now, only having one working headlight would be pretty nasty.

6·7 天前I hate it when packages get delivered to my letter box instead of being brought to the door. It means I have to venture outside.
The package has been collected now anyway, and I have restocked my supply of bandaids (I had some so old they had lost their stick), have aquired a couple more tubes of toothpaste, and I have also obtained an eye mask for sleeping, which should help when Mr Woof decides to push open the blind and let in lots of glaring sunlight while I am trying to sleep during the day.

5·7 天前We have uniforms at work so what we wear isn’t generally an issue, but if someone ‘important’ is coming we get instructions to tidy up our desks. Usually they don’t end up coming anywhere near us, at best we see them on the other side of the room.

7·7 天前I’d forgotten about the whole long weekend thing - the joys of shift work!
Technically I guess mine’s going to be really long, because I have 60 hours of work scheduled between Friday and next Thursday, so it’s going to be long in all the wrong ways.
It’s good you’ve got the shopping done already, people seem to love crowding the shops at the start of a long weekend.
I have recieved some good news for once - RACV were apparently overcharging me for an insurance policy and will be refunding me nearly $100.
My shower shelf has suffered a catastrophic failure. Shampoo and friends are all in a jimble on the ahower floor.
You only got the first comment because I was too busy eating dinner. Pork casserole with apple, it was rather yummy.
