DTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!! After half a year the car search has ended, I have finally replaced my 4x4 that shit itself during covid. Ya boy is about to make up for years worth of missed camping and road-tripping.
I don't think so. I remember people nodding off on trams and trains. I remember the hari kristners begging, the odd dero who's pissed himself, the drunks. I don't ever remember the violence that commuters are experiencing today.
I remember people getting glasses smashed on them outside y&j. I remember drunk cunts getting very fucking rapey around flinders. I remember a lot of queer bashings.
I get that and things weren't reported like they are now but I don't remember cunts wanted to start fights because they've been up for 4 days straight.
Just went down a travelator behind a man who had jammed the trolley hard against the side of the travelator side, and it was making this horrid scraping noise as it was going , scraping a dent/scratch into the side of escalator. Man either totally unaware or could not give a fuck. I was thinking how sad it is how much the public just trash stuff and how much it must cost to be constantly fixing things, no wonder everything is expensive. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Allergies are calming down a bit today, the wind and rain has got rid of some of the pollen particles. This has been my worst year for rosacea for 15 years. Big hugs to everyone who is having difficulties with allergies and inflammation.
Eating Tiny teddies for the first time since I was a kid. There is something very moreish about them. It’s a bit dangerous, the whole box might get mindlessly consumed if I’m not careful!
Would it be out of line to ask what young man is dealing with symptoms wise?
I have an older cat and have been on the medical merry go round of working out what’s wrong. Perhaps there’s something that sounds similar to an issue we’ve solved, an idea of where to go next.
~ Obligatory ‘I am not a veterinarian’ disclaimer ~
We have had a little of that, it was a fissure from constipation. But not to the extreme. It was a tiny smear of bright fresh blood as an isolated incident.
It could be so many things so if you find this vet isn’t taking you seriously you are within your rights to see another vet or another practice for a second opinion. You’re around them more and see things the vets don’t. It took me a long time to be believed and figure out Melbcat’s nebulous pain but it turned out there were multiple genuine causes which are now being treated.
It could be an ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, eaten a foreign object, a grass seed worked its way into the anus, ingested a chemical, parasites, bacterial or viral infection, blood disorders, cancer, injury, severe irritation from food intolerances or allergy, polyps, colitis etc
It’s very hard when they can’t talk.
It’s worth looking at everything else surrounding it for clues. If there have been any changes like diarrhoea re the Bristol stool chart, presence and location of any pain, changes in appetite, nausea (lip smacking or reluctance to eat) vomiting or gas, when does it happen? Is the blood bright and fresh which may indicate the issue is down closer to the anus, or is it older and brown, or is it partially digested like coffee grounds? Is there any mucus which may indicate inflammation? Jelly like stool which is extreme inflammation? Weird colour like yellow or green which may indicate too fast transit, or a greasy appearance? Signs of worms?
It sounds overwhelming but maybe just jot down what/when he’s eaten and the time/details of him moving his bowels to see if there’s any patterns or anything unusual. Perhaps give them a sample.
And check if there’s been any warnings about baits or sicknesses like feline panleukopenia/parvovirus in your area. There have been Australian breakouts in recent months.
The more concrete info you have the more of an idea you can get and the harder it is to dismiss.
was out for a walk early this morning. after an hour, even with brisk walking, came home freezing cold, windblown and ever so slightly damp, wondering what I had been thinking.
am now reaping the benefits by working in trackies, my slippers, with a cuppa, feeling smug as my wife complains about having to leave the house while I have done my exercise and errands for the day and can remain toasty warm and comfy inside.
same here. Is it schadenfreude? why yes, but that makes it no less delicious. Enjoy your trudge in the rain sir, me and my 11k steps shall be playing Totk
I made baby cheesecakes last night. Very easy to do.
::: spoiler baby cheesecakes
:::
I used a block of philly cheese (Manhatten from aldi) at room temperature. Added a half a jar of lemon curd. A tiny bit of milk and a tablespoon of icing sugar. Gave it a stir until all combined. Put a butter nut biscuit in the muffin patty pan and top it with my mixture. Put them in the fridge to set.
You can make them with your choice of jam and biscuits.
That was a cold freaking walk back to the accom. 10C feels like 3, hectic winds, spattering rain - and now lots of wooshing and swooshing while I'm trying to settle down in bed. Pros and cons to getting accom with palms right out the window.
Absolutely fabulous day otherwise, was a bit nervous/overwhelmed at first but met heaps of good folks today. Weather aside, only downside was I think I had too much dairy in the dessert and got straight up liquid shits (scrambled to the toilet just in time). Or maybe it was the wine. I don't know but my gut definitely feels unsettled, still. I need a substantial breakfast tomorrow to make up for it. Ninight.
Gelato might be healthier than icecream? They might have coffee. Edit: Or coffee frozen yogurt.
And allowing the occasional scoop might mean less craving
Edit: Or you can make an iced coffee at home by dissolving sugar or Splenda with instant coffee in a little hot water (no need for special syrup) and adding your preferred milk
Horrible weather out there, it's actually getting colder. I stopped at Bunnings on the way home from work, they were closing off the garden entrance and had lost a few plants in the wind already. The staff were in remarkably good spirits considering how miserable it is outside today.
Morning dog walk has been cancelled because of excessive wind. Possibly the afternoon dog walk will be cancelled for the same reason. Definitely not nice out there today.
Hmmmm got the job (VPS) but it was never explained that it was a fixed term contract until I just got the offer letter, I was under the impression the whole time it was a full time contract, so it ends after a year and if they don't have the budget I'm out of a job potentially? Exactly the sort of thing I wanted to avoid and why I was willing to take a paycut otherwise why not just work as a contractor?
Is it a "contract" or "permanent fixed term"? The latter gives you leave entitlements and other benefits (that I can't currently think of) of a permanent employee
Don't tell Las Vegas but I'm pretty casino'd out. I'm not exactly sure who I am now but I've had zero urge to drink. Even when offered free booze I've been getting lemonade/soda or water.
Anyway it's 7:15pm and I've decided to lock myself in my room with some gummies, lemonade and a cup of donut balls while I watch Ahsoka.
Whats on for the weekend everyone?
Tonight im heading to a party at Max Watts run by the Rainbow Serpent crew, should be massive!!
Tomorrow night will be moving my current mead to secondary to age on oak!! Sunday i have an axe throwing marathon, its only 2 weeks till the Asia Pacific Champs and Sunday will have 10 or more of the current top 20 in Australia throwing so will be a really good warm up :)
I will be competing against the big guns yes, im currently ranked 6th in Australia in the ruleset the marathon is running in. There is essentially two rules sets, standard and premier, premier requires a much higher level of accuracy but anyone can compete in either rule set. The marathons are usually capped at 24 people, so there will be a pretty big range of skills.
The Asia Pacific Champs in 2 weeks is an invite only finals under the premier rule set, there were qualifiers around Australia early this year, the top 2 from each venue went straight into finals and then the rest of the spots went to the people with the highest averages in qualifying :)
Yeh everyone can throw really well, so consistency and doing well under pressure are really important. The mental part is definitely where i need to work on the most, the closer i can get in match play to the way i throw in practice the happier ill be :)
It has not been a good week. The weekend will be spent recovering from the week.
(Kid) Footy and Hockey seasons are finally over. This is the first weekend of not needing to up at 7am for various sports. I need to get my sleep cycle under control. Spent a day and a half sick/sleeping and I'm still not quite back to normal. My watch says I slept from 3am to 7am, but it isn't counting the bit where I crashed at 8pm and slept to nearly midnight.
Also, a friend/workmate passed away this week. We're gathering this evening for drinks and memories/tears. He was roughly my age, with kids a little over my kids' ages. This feels too close to home, like that could have been me but for a roll of fate's dice. It could be my kids facing life without their dad. Cancer sucks.
Belated, but sorry to hear about your mate. Reading that gave me chills, just imagining it happening to me or someone my siblings' ages, though I have no children. That's particularly rough when it's someone you worked with. Hope you've got some good strategies for handling the grief at work.
so I've figured out car wise what Im going to do. I've all but sold my car to pay for the mrs's car's loan. then im gonna get her car limping, sell it off and buy something brand new with a warranty. Its gonna cost a fortune, but given I stand to lose close to 20k on her car, and I'm having to sell mine to offset that I dont see we have a lot of other options. What do I do if I buy second hand and it blows up again?
But I hear back from the diagnostics (mid next week) I dont know how much its going to cost to fix (If even possible). So I dont know the financial damage so I cant really order anything. Stressful. I just want this done and buried so I can move on.
Bahaha, love it!
I had a similar thought tbh, but the dealer I'm looking to buy from is 100km away. Thats gonna be an expensive tow, and fair confident the cars not gonna make it under its own power.
I’m sure they are out there. Trouble is I don’t even know if it’s cost effective to fix mine. Mazda quoted like 20k in the worst case scenario. The cars worth maybe 17k? I’m not paying what it’s worth to sell it. I’ll just piss it off to a wreckers.
Of few things in this world I'm sure
Who knows what's behind each door?
But if one thing is always true
Is it the desert being red, or ocean blue?
No. But when I open up a tin of fish
It will always, always be delish!
It's very wimdy. 😲 The front door flew open unbeknownst to me, ( the lock mustn't have been snibbed ) so when I opened the back door a vacuum literally sucked a heavy vase off the window ledge which then smashed on the floor.
I've got that weird air thing at my place too. When you open the front door another door in the middle of the house slams shut. When I first moved there it used to freak me out👻
I dont feel too bad about it, solar is JUST generating enough to cover the heater so I may as well. But I suspect thats all the solar is gonna be good for today.
i'm sorry, but i don't care for finals talk. especially in an open plan office situation...can you take it to the break room please? i mean, i'm 20m away and can clearly understand everything you're saying

Going for a run today was a bad idea. I thought my calf had fully healed, but 2km in and it started seizing up again. Probably put me back a few days. Real shame too, as my pace was probably my best yet, and I didn't even feel tired, but will just have to wait and see next time.
Guess I'll just stick to swimming until after my work conference.

I just got back from the CBD, the incident would have occurred sometime between 6-7pm-ish. I didn’t see it becuase I was having dinner near the GPO, but walked up Bourke St about an hour ago. Lots of police, fire, ambulance, sirens and police tape.

ChatGPT says that could make a very interesting chicken pot pie.
::: spoiler Chicken pot pie recipe from ChatGPT
G'day! You've got some versatile ingredients there. How about making a Chicken and Vegetable Pot Pie with a twist? Here's a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
1 chicken breast
1/3 pack of pork mince
Bacon (a few slices, as much as you like)
1/4 pumpkin
2 parsnips
Red and yellow capsicum
1 sheet of pastry
Various spices from your cabinet (like salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and oregano)
Leftover salsa
Pantry basics (flour, butter, milk)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).
Dice the chicken breast and bacon. In a pan, cook the bacon until it's crispy. Remove it from the pan and set it aside.
In the same pan, cook the chicken until it's no longer pink. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add the pork mince and brown it. Drain any excess fat.
While the meat is cooking, chop your veggies (pumpkin, parsnips, and capsicums) into bite-sized pieces.
In a separate pot, make a basic white sauce. Melt some butter, stir in flour, and gradually add milk until you have a creamy consistency. Season it with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like from your spice cabinet.
Combine the cooked chicken, bacon, pork mince, and veggies in the pot with your white sauce. Add a few spoonfuls of leftover salsa for extra flavor.
Roll out your pastry sheet and place it over a baking dish. Pour the chicken and veggie mixture into the dish.
Fold the pastry over the top to make a pie crust. Brush it with a bit of milk to give it a nice golden color.
Pop the whole dish in the oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Enjoy your Aussie-style Chicken and Vegetable Pot Pie! Feel free to season it with your favorite spices for that extra kick.

Note I've given ChatGPT custom instructions that I'm in Australia and sometimes it goes overboard. But at least it uses Celsius by default.
You could ask the same thing and say "make it Mexican inspired" or "adjust this to make mini pies" or even something as simple as "tell me another idea".
Ok so you have a few different meals there. Fry up the mince and bacon. Add in some spice. Halve the capsicums and stuff them. Bake until soft. Top with grated cheese. Put them back in until cheese has melted. Any left over mixture make triangles with the pastry.
Roast pumpkin and parsnips. Poach/grill/Fry chicken boob.
Op1: Cook the chicken salami and capsicum, add in can or tomatoes or a red jar sauce if you have it, have with pasta.
Op2: pork mince and veg stir fry, using selection of spices.
Fry up a capsicum with the pork mince (and bacon?) Butterfly the chook titty, stuff with said mixture and roast until done with your choice of spices. Roast pumpkin cubes on the side, can cook while the chook does
Mr Peeler heard today that one of his cousins lost her short battle with MND today. It was only just over a couple of years ago she was fine, came over to our place for lunch. Here's hoping we can find a cure soon. I'm a bit of a stunned mullet, but Mr Peeler will be very upset as he was close to his cousins, having no siblings.
I've discovered a new hobby. When there's a crowd gathering around a street performer or in today's case, a chase the queen card hustler, brush by the back of people just enough that they feel you touch them but not hard enough for a bump. Just keep walking. They'll check their pockets, it's hilarious.
Also it's a sunny 36 degrees here. Flying home on Monday night (your Tuesday) and from what I'm reading it's going to be a bit of a change in weather. I'm actually going to miss this summery weather. Hopefully ours rolls around quickly.
The four motorcycle round trips today was unpleasant, could barely stay upright and it was freezing. Thankfully they were only 5km round trips on 40kmh roads.
One more tonight. Hopefully wind is calm by tonight, am only going to book a car for the trip if it is raining or is forecast to rain.
Putting in a little leave so I can spend a week at the end of the month enjoying my new (to me) car! Weather permitting, I might jump the border and hang around Port Mac, maybe even dig my wetsuit out and do some snorkelling at Ewens Ponds.
It's so silly, but finally having a 4x4 back has lifted my spirits insanely, I feel like a dog in front of his fully stacked toy box.
I'm catching up to 2016 with The Witcher 3. Finally got it downloaded, then spent as much time updating keybindings on the game pad and mouse as I did playing. 🤣 I'm still working on figuring out the whole combat system and what button does what, and have died three times so far due to flailing ineffectually while maddly pressing the wrong buttons.
Exercises completed except for one of the weird plank ones which started to hurt my neck and back so I abandoned it immediately. I guess it was all that shelf cleaning yesterday with myself at weird angles to get to hard to reach places.

We have had a little of that, it was a fissure from constipation. But not to the extreme. It was a tiny smear of bright fresh blood as an isolated incident.
It could be so many things so if you find this vet isn’t taking you seriously you are within your rights to see another vet or another practice for a second opinion. You’re around them more and see things the vets don’t. It took me a long time to be believed and figure out Melbcat’s nebulous pain but it turned out there were multiple genuine causes which are now being treated.
It could be an ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, eaten a foreign object, a grass seed worked its way into the anus, ingested a chemical, parasites, bacterial or viral infection, blood disorders, cancer, injury, severe irritation from food intolerances or allergy, polyps, colitis etc
It’s very hard when they can’t talk.
It’s worth looking at everything else surrounding it for clues. If there have been any changes like diarrhoea re the Bristol stool chart, presence and location of any pain, changes in appetite, nausea (lip smacking or reluctance to eat) vomiting or gas, when does it happen? Is the blood bright and fresh which may indicate the issue is down closer to the anus, or is it older and brown, or is it partially digested like coffee grounds? Is there any mucus which may indicate inflammation? Jelly like stool which is extreme inflammation? Weird colour like yellow or green which may indicate too fast transit, or a greasy appearance? Signs of worms?
It sounds overwhelming but maybe just jot down what/when he’s eaten and the time/details of him moving his bowels to see if there’s any patterns or anything unusual. Perhaps give them a sample.
And check if there’s been any warnings about baits or sicknesses like feline panleukopenia/parvovirus in your area. There have been Australian breakouts in recent months.
The more concrete info you have the more of an idea you can get and the harder it is to dismiss.

I made baby cheesecakes last night. Very easy to do.
::: spoiler baby cheesecakes
:::
I used a block of philly cheese (Manhatten from aldi) at room temperature. Added a half a jar of lemon curd. A tiny bit of milk and a tablespoon of icing sugar. Gave it a stir until all combined. Put a butter nut biscuit in the muffin patty pan and top it with my mixture. Put them in the fridge to set.
You can make them with your choice of jam and biscuits.

That was a cold freaking walk back to the accom. 10C feels like 3, hectic winds, spattering rain - and now lots of wooshing and swooshing while I'm trying to settle down in bed. Pros and cons to getting accom with palms right out the window.
Absolutely fabulous day otherwise, was a bit nervous/overwhelmed at first but met heaps of good folks today. Weather aside, only downside was I think I had too much dairy in the dessert and got straight up liquid shits (scrambled to the toilet just in time). Or maybe it was the wine. I don't know but my gut definitely feels unsettled, still. I need a substantial breakfast tomorrow to make up for it. Ninight.

Hmmmm got the job (VPS) but it was never explained that it was a fixed term contract until I just got the offer letter, I was under the impression the whole time it was a full time contract, so it ends after a year and if they don't have the budget I'm out of a job potentially? Exactly the sort of thing I wanted to avoid and why I was willing to take a paycut otherwise why not just work as a contractor?

Being in VPS on a fixed term carries over all your leave and progression through any other VPS job and department.

Whats on for the weekend everyone? Tonight im heading to a party at Max Watts run by the Rainbow Serpent crew, should be massive!! Tomorrow night will be moving my current mead to secondary to age on oak!! Sunday i have an axe throwing marathon, its only 2 weeks till the Asia Pacific Champs and Sunday will have 10 or more of the current top 20 in Australia throwing so will be a really good warm up :)
phant@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
That sounds like an awesome weekend! Will you be competing against the big guns? Are there amateur/novice divisions, or is it all or nothing?
00Steve@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 2y
I will be competing against the big guns yes, im currently ranked 6th in Australia in the ruleset the marathon is running in. There is essentially two rules sets, standard and premier, premier requires a much higher level of accuracy but anyone can compete in either rule set. The marathons are usually capped at 24 people, so there will be a pretty big range of skills. The Asia Pacific Champs in 2 weeks is an invite only finals under the premier rule set, there were qualifiers around Australia early this year, the top 2 from each venue went straight into finals and then the rest of the spots went to the people with the highest averages in qualifying :)
phant@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
That's awesome! Congrats on qualifying and good luck this weekend!
I've got a disc golf comp on Sunday. Teams match play format, so a bit different to usual and should be fun.
Another question. At your level in axe throwing, is it largely mental game that decides the winner, or other factors?
00Steve@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 2y
Yeh everyone can throw really well, so consistency and doing well under pressure are really important. The mental part is definitely where i need to work on the most, the closer i can get in match play to the way i throw in practice the happier ill be :)

It has not been a good week. The weekend will be spent recovering from the week.
(Kid) Footy and Hockey seasons are finally over. This is the first weekend of not needing to up at 7am for various sports. I need to get my sleep cycle under control. Spent a day and a half sick/sleeping and I'm still not quite back to normal. My watch says I slept from 3am to 7am, but it isn't counting the bit where I crashed at 8pm and slept to nearly midnight.
Also, a friend/workmate passed away this week. We're gathering this evening for drinks and memories/tears. He was roughly my age, with kids a little over my kids' ages. This feels too close to home, like that could have been me but for a roll of fate's dice. It could be my kids facing life without their dad. Cancer sucks.

so I've figured out car wise what Im going to do. I've all but sold my car to pay for the mrs's car's loan. then im gonna get her car limping, sell it off and buy something brand new with a warranty. Its gonna cost a fortune, but given I stand to lose close to 20k on her car, and I'm having to sell mine to offset that I dont see we have a lot of other options. What do I do if I buy second hand and it blows up again? But I hear back from the diagnostics (mid next week) I dont know how much its going to cost to fix (If even possible). So I dont know the financial damage so I cant really order anything. Stressful. I just want this done and buried so I can move on.

ChatGPT says that could make a very interesting chicken pot pie.
::: spoiler Chicken pot pie recipe from ChatGPT G'day! You've got some versatile ingredients there. How about making a Chicken and Vegetable Pot Pie with a twist? Here's a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).
Dice the chicken breast and bacon. In a pan, cook the bacon until it's crispy. Remove it from the pan and set it aside.
In the same pan, cook the chicken until it's no longer pink. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add the pork mince and brown it. Drain any excess fat.
While the meat is cooking, chop your veggies (pumpkin, parsnips, and capsicums) into bite-sized pieces.
In a separate pot, make a basic white sauce. Melt some butter, stir in flour, and gradually add milk until you have a creamy consistency. Season it with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like from your spice cabinet.
Combine the cooked chicken, bacon, pork mince, and veggies in the pot with your white sauce. Add a few spoonfuls of leftover salsa for extra flavor.
Roll out your pastry sheet and place it over a baking dish. Pour the chicken and veggie mixture into the dish.
Fold the pastry over the top to make a pie crust. Brush it with a bit of milk to give it a nice golden color.
Pop the whole dish in the oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Enjoy your Aussie-style Chicken and Vegetable Pot Pie! Feel free to season it with your favorite spices for that extra kick. :::
Note I've given ChatGPT custom instructions that I'm in Australia and sometimes it goes overboard. But at least it uses Celsius by default.

Ok so you have a few different meals there. Fry up the mince and bacon. Add in some spice. Halve the capsicums and stuff them. Bake until soft. Top with grated cheese. Put them back in until cheese has melted. Any left over mixture make triangles with the pastry.
Roast pumpkin and parsnips. Poach/grill/Fry chicken boob.
Salami, cheese, bread = jaffle.
Salsa will go with all 3

Op1: Cook the chicken salami and capsicum, add in can or tomatoes or a red jar sauce if you have it, have with pasta. Op2: pork mince and veg stir fry, using selection of spices.

Fry up a capsicum with the pork mince (and bacon?) Butterfly the chook titty, stuff with said mixture and roast until done with your choice of spices. Roast pumpkin cubes on the side, can cook while the chook does

What's the tipple for tonight?
MeanElevator@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 2y
Tomatin Legacy whiskey with a Pirate Bay pale ale chaser.
And a large glass of iced water, of course.

Neat or on the rocks?
MeanElevator@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 2y
Neat in a glencairn glass.
My snobby whiskey attitude is that if you need rocks....you need a better whiskey.
But in reality I think the best whiskey in the world is the one you like, drank how you like it.
Enjoy whatever you got.

Rocks just get in the way although nice on a hot day or when you need to take it easy and "sip it" slowly.

Bailey's makes sense. I like a jumbo ice cube in my cocktails.

Mr Peeler heard today that one of his cousins lost her short battle with MND today. It was only just over a couple of years ago she was fine, came over to our place for lunch. Here's hoping we can find a cure soon. I'm a bit of a stunned mullet, but Mr Peeler will be very upset as he was close to his cousins, having no siblings.

I've discovered a new hobby. When there's a crowd gathering around a street performer or in today's case, a chase the queen card hustler, brush by the back of people just enough that they feel you touch them but not hard enough for a bump. Just keep walking. They'll check their pockets, it's hilarious.
Also it's a sunny 36 degrees here. Flying home on Monday night (your Tuesday) and from what I'm reading it's going to be a bit of a change in weather. I'm actually going to miss this summery weather. Hopefully ours rolls around quickly.

The four motorcycle round trips today was unpleasant, could barely stay upright and it was freezing. Thankfully they were only 5km round trips on 40kmh roads.
One more tonight. Hopefully wind is calm by tonight, am only going to book a car for the trip if it is raining or is forecast to rain.

Putting in a little leave so I can spend a week at the end of the month enjoying my new (to me) car! Weather permitting, I might jump the border and hang around Port Mac, maybe even dig my wetsuit out and do some snorkelling at Ewens Ponds.
It's so silly, but finally having a 4x4 back has lifted my spirits insanely, I feel like a dog in front of his fully stacked toy box.

I'm catching up to 2016 with The Witcher 3. Finally got it downloaded, then spent as much time updating keybindings on the game pad and mouse as I did playing. 🤣 I'm still working on figuring out the whole combat system and what button does what, and have died three times so far due to flailing ineffectually while maddly pressing the wrong buttons.

Exercises completed except for one of the weird plank ones which started to hurt my neck and back so I abandoned it immediately. I guess it was all that shelf cleaning yesterday with myself at weird angles to get to hard to reach places.
