There wasn’t one yet.
First world problem: I thought I could get away with cooking up leftover rice and pairing it with a can of tuna but because my fridge is full of veg I have to cook some of them so I can fit my beer in there for Friday.
rice + tuna + random veg + cheese + microwave. Easy tuna melt solution?
I have some pork steaks so I’m thinking a stir fry with a runny egg on top.
Tomorrow maybe a zucchini lasagne.
Of course it may completely change getting towards dinner time.
Zucchini rice slice?
Might do a fried rice. Like I said things might change.
Leftover rice is arancini in potential.
The new sewing machine inspired me to finish a simple job I’ve been putting off for ages - I have sewn a zipper into a cardigan my Mum knitted for me ages ago. The machine sews beautifully, I’m very pleased with it.
Today’s replacement thing is a 5TB external hard drive that was stolen. I bought the first one not long before I moved out of the last place. The plan was for it to tide me over until I purchased the parts to build a custom NAS, which I was meant to do before I moved in here, but never did… I actually did buy a motherboard from overseas for it, but I never bought any of the other components lmao, so I just have a motherboard sitting in a drawer. I don’t even know if it’s functional, because I obviously don’t have the rest of the components to test it with.
Interestingly, the Australia Post app told me it was a 2.5kg 60x55x32cm parcel, and I was very confused because the only thing I was expecting from JB Hi-fi was the single hard drive. When it arrived it was more like a 20x15x10cm package, that the sticker says weighs 0.34kg (dimensions just a guess though, I don’t know how to eyeball measurements). They did post it in a toll (or “team express global” as they call themselves now) bag with an auspost sticker taped over it though, so maybe AP was just shitty at them 😂
But this is the last thing I think is coming this week, because interestingly both the program manager and my case manager have been MIA since Monday. No contact or out of office auto response on their emails. It’s odd. I think this is the last thing from my list they ordered, and they wanted to drag their feet on ordering things. Maybe I need to escalate this to the regional manager again
Soooo still haven’t heard back… Beginning to feel uncomfortable
🤞🏼
🤞
🤞🏻🤞🏻
Blargh. This is not the hour for cleaning of the cat trays. But my brain is dumb.
I forgot to mention, they are paying for 2 monitors, a dock and a keyboard and mouse and will have them couriered to my house so I can work from home.
That’s fucking crazy lol
Enjoy your day everyone ❤️
Hoping today I get my call 🤞
Fingers crossed mate!
Hoping to celebrate with lots of smoked fish?
Fish and beer, anyone would do the same right?
I would be fish and wine, close enough?
Acceptable
Preparing to break out the sardines for you… 🤞
I still have some smoked kippers in the cupboard for the occasion.
Oh wow, so how often do you need to work at home and go into the office for? Does it suit you?
Im in office 3 days which is fair I reckon.
Pretty standard these days.
That should be the bare minimum for a job that actively supports WFH. It’s a small expense for them to keep you working even if you’re sick, for example ;) Nice one getting the dock paid for, they’re so expensive and the cheap ones really can be useless
Goodnight everyone ❤️
Goodnight. 🤗
anyone else get a kick out of doing random tasks without their partner knowing and then seeing how long it takes them to notice? (if at all). Usually bigger jobs have to be scheduled between us with the toddler and all, but today I used my lunch break to do the lawn and i’m giddy with the prospect of her looking at it like a weeks time and going “wait… when the heck do you do that?!”
Yay: I didn’t lose my expensive but very good fingerless gloves, they’re at the doctor’s!
Nay: now I have to drive there and back. Meh. At least I’m not as incapacitated as the last two days. I really need those gloves though!
Also, reading that thread on the escaped cow in South Yarra on the other site, I have had that song in my head all morning. We will fight for, bovine freedom…
They came with a needle to stick in his thigh, he kicked for the groin, he pissed in their eye. Cow well hung.
gloves are good
Enough with the wind already, I’m sleepin’ here! I’M SLEEPIN’ HEEYA!
have you tried beano?
Punishment for cleaning the stove top… out of nowhere all the ignitors have started clicking. Turned it off at the source. Am supposed to wait 24-48 hours before trying again. I hope something hasn’t completely shorted because this is the worst possible timing to not have a stove available, I just finished up the last of my food in the fridge… guess it’s air fryer chips and fish and blanched greens for dinner tomorrow.
Mine did this a few days ago after a service!
Apparently it’s a safety measure.
I cleaned the ignighters with a pin, metho and isopropyl, waited for it to dry (then went again for good measure). It sometimes continually sparks but on my top simply re-ignighting solved it (thankfully).
Hope it gets resolved soon because that’s really annoying.
Looks like I should get around to cleaning those suckers. They probably haven’t ever been cleaned…
Where did you get isopropyl alcohol, isn’t it usually rather pricey in Australia? Reckon just metho would work?
Nah, isocol is just overpriced. Bosca, melbourne solvents or even just brown bottle it at a chemist.
Bunnings has some for cheap. Metho (and acetone) seem to work too.
You can turn the electricity off and use a match to them. Dries them out a bit quicker.
Gas stoves are the worst…my clickers are stuffed and a thermocouple needs replacing. Thermocouple part costs $3.20 but the work costs $250ish and will likely need.to be done in the others in quick succession. I bought a one pot induction panel to get us by and it’s soooo much better… Want induction now.
Maybe I’m finally out of this thing 🤞 Not much coughing, not quite as congested or lethargic, sinus tension is minor and mood feels positive. Was so fed up with being in one place that I’ve given the kitchen counters and sink a good clean (incl grotty stove top - not cleaned for a month), and vacuumed the place (nearly two weeks overdue).
Ah, cleanliness! Health! Healing! I feel much more deserving of dinner and a movie now ☺️ Just need to have a nice warm shower and pick something to watch… Been on a Robin Williams streak as I haven’t watched that many of his movies. Day before yesterday was The Birdcage and The World According to Garp. Last night I watched Awakenings, maybe I’ll watch The Fisher King tonight. Before anyone says it, I recall watching What Dreams May Come before he passed away and I am NOT watching it again for fear my entire sinus will come undone.
Fisher King… Right on.
o washing day o washing day, I’ve finished washing clothesies
I feel like I’m stuck in waiting mode in life right now. Next year is very up in the air - if I get a job, will I be able to return to study? Etc.
Trying to focus on the present.
make this a time to learn and heal and create
lots of hugs 🤗🤗🤗
