Dad called me upset that someone had stolen his delivery. Congrats arseholes, you have yourselves a month's supply of doggie insulin. It's totally useless to you.
Except that it cost dad $530, and it needs to be chilled. So even if you return it tomorrow, it's no good for the dog.
(It'll probably be covered by contents insurance because the delivery driver left a photo of it on the doorstep, but even $200 excess is not a trivial amount for a pensioner in his 80s)
Surely if life saving meds are being delivered it's up to the company to make sure they are actually safely delivered into people's hands. Doorstep is not good enough.
Am highly amused by Bob Katter Streisanding himself today. I didn’t know he had Lebanese heritage until now, although I reckon all the Lebanese aussies will be thinking oh god, no
I just wanna put it on record that the thick, curly, shower drain clogging head of hair my daughter inherited did not come from me. Pulling what looks like dead rodents out is gut churning. I need a strong mind altering drink.
In all honesty she does have beautiful envious hair.
I don't give it a name but I do give myself a pep talk as I'm digging in there. puppies and kittens and sunshine and rainbows and roses and I hope it fits through the hole and keep your mouth closed and try not to puke.
Had a nice catch up with some old friends after work. Very cold out. Decided to try a new dish, hand pulled dry noodles with lamb tripe, chilli, garlic, capsicum etc. way better than I thought it would be. The tripe was really clean tasting and really chewy and springy. Pleasantly spicy. Company was a lot of fun. Had some good laughs, serotonin went boing.
Tempers flaring around the office today, can we just not? Furthermore, I'm putting a ban on all "heyyyy, I've got a weird one for you" requests until my successor comes in next week.
adulting has been done, visited a physio to get an appt/program to get pt for strength building in my legs because of my sciatica. I'm great at walking, not so great at anything else, Hard to get appts, they are so booked out!
With days getting warmer I've been thinking of getting cheap fishing shirts to wear on the bike. They're full sleeved and made of sun resistant material. Get ones with sensible colours on them and you could even get away with wearing them in the office.
It’s been a miserable news week. Porpunkah, bus crash, Iranian religious attacks in Australia, shooting in US. And the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Palestine, and everything else. I like to keep informed but sometimes it’s better to just switch off for awhile.
there's one woman at work who drives one of those small MGs. It looks like a Suzuki Swift from a distance, which is fitting, because she is like the most Suzuki Swift driver coded person I've seen since a teacher from my highschool
Was that one of those 4wd style ones? They've been quite popular. This is one of those more modern, rounded looking mini style cars that brands do every now and then.

Alrighty. First song completely memorized no issue.
Taking a break for an hour then hitting the 2nd song. It's not that hard just has some tricky right hand rhythm parts.
Then rehearsal tonight. I want to walk in there completely confident in my playing!

Yeah I can hear both the songs in my head now without looking at the guitar.
Success!
2 and a half fucking hours repeating the same 2 songs until they're locked into muscle memory.
This is what happens when you don't practice every day like you promised yourself you would lol

I wear rubber gloves and have a disposal bag at the ready. Only see it for a brief moment and then it's gone from eyesight.
For the smell, when cleaning bathrooms, I'll wear a facemask or buff (leftover from lockdown days)

Gloves are a must for me too. I use paper towel to extract it off the wand and into the bag.
