It’s not a headache. Pretty sure it’s covid. Feel the same as i did last time I had it.
Ordered some rat tests to be delivered.
Laaaaaaaaame
Edit: I have an excuse to just zonk on the couch and play video games i guess.
Boo to Christmas covid!
I hope it’s mild at least.
Make sure you get a medical certificate so you can swap some of your leave for sick leave.
That is a damn good idea!
But yeah, hopefully it’s not too bad 🤞🏾
I hate to sound like a Grinch but I’ll be glad when Xmas is over. Now that I’m not working I’ve got plenty of time to feel how stressed out I am.
I hate how everything is up in the air, busy and then closed. It’s a really disruptive time of year
I have to admit, I feel like a bit of a ping pong. I’ve got unexpected time off, but I don’t know how to relax into a “time-off” mode.
There is always something to do. Even if I’m not doing something, my brain is.
Im exactly the same.

It truly doesn’t matter. An automated task would be out by a few seconds occasionally anyway.
If you are interested in playing with it, brisbot’s code is here.
Strap in for a pre Christmas round of gastro gang!
Oh no.
I mean I almost read that as strap on, LOL.
Sounds about 10x more appealing than gastro.
I’m back from shopping and gt everything on the list

one adventure ✅
butter ✅

Oooh a map. I better pack a 2nd breakfast
don’t forget a handkerchief
Ooh, fancy foreign butter. Many thanks.
that is my fave butter, it’s sweetish, creamy with little tasty salt crystals
Have you been able to buy it from a brick and mortar shop in Melbourne?
has anyone seen CEO, I have her box of puppies 🤪
Yay. Thank you.
I love that I was actually expecting a box of puppies. 😂
Last gym sesh for the year complete
I hope it was leg day! Leg day is the most fun day!
Phew bro and sil only staying one night this xmas.
It gon’ be frosty in those high temps though.
This is your periodic reminder to plot the kidnapping of butters from his undeserving humans.
I am looking forward to butters. Shame about the rest though heh.
Should be thinking about starting to prep the cooking for Christmas Day but I’m gonna read all day instead 😏
I should clean, but I’m going to read instead.
that sounds like heaven
Excellent choice. Cha readin?
Kids books from the 70s, because I have my finger on the pulse. Just starting The Dark is Rising.
I fucking love that series. Ideal read for this time of year - if I recall correctly, Will’s birthday (and thus the start of shenanigans) is today
I love those books. Jane annoys me a great deal of the time, but isn’t as cardboard as it first seems. Each book is very different. Cracking good fun, but Very very British.
I love this for you.
It’s family xmas day for me - and the longest day of the year. For a number of reasons. One good thing is the venue is Somers on Westernport Bay, where my brother has a house. It’s been my family’s go to spot for holidays since about 1966 and while it’s changed a lot I still love it there.
Taking a hot-smoked trout with cajun spices for my contribution to the feast, and some toum.May God give you strength.
Save me some trout 👀Oh that’s sounds nice. Where do you get the trout from?
The deli in Richmond Traders - the one near the doors out to Church Street. Exxy but looks verra verra nice. They also had marinated sardine fillets, so I grabbed some of those too. Strickly for my own consumption.
Happy Gravy Day guys.
Give my little be to Angus
And to Jack and Dolly
Frank and Dolly.
Fark, been a long day.
Hahaha.
Keen to hear how @just_kitten@aussie.zone is doing this morning :)
Completely hunky dory, woke up before 7 even and while I’ve been lolling around in bed I feel good and normal with zero headaches. Just about to roll out and make myself an omelette. Miraculous!
🫠 have you tried to walk yet?
I can report that I have not walled into any walks yet ;)
No, but she’s tried to wall.
RIP to anyone who had hoped to go to the Grampians over xmas/NY. It’s not looking great especially with the scorcher predicted on Boxing Day.
Today I need to go water two friends’ plants and sort out the crap I’ve left at one place. I’m loathe to face the small pile but I WILL do it! And then plan my cooking for Xmas lunch as I’m working Monday and Tuesday.
I’m almost wondering if it might be worth it to work from home on Sunday instead and cut short Tuesday so it’s less of a rush. Might just do that…

Oh no. ☹️ Fire related?

Gee. I don’t think I’ll try this insomnia tablet.
So does anyone else feel fucking terrified of “having sex” while being completely blacked out?
Making phone calls would be even more of a nightmare I reckon. More possible consequences and a pretty long tail of them.
I’ve never had blackout sex but I have tried to do deep fry dim sims whilst pretty much blacked out.
Not doing that again.
Sounds familiar. But have you tried sleep driving?
I mean how the fuck did this medicine pass testing?!?!
I got home after a graveyard shift one time many years ago and had a minor existential crisis because I truly didn’t remember the drive home. I read a couple of years ago that this phenomenon has a name: Highway Hypnosis. In theory, I shouldn’t have been fatigued that day, but that’s also a plausible explanation.
It took me a while to stop driving to an ex’s place. I’d find myself halfway there. I was driving safely, but my directions were by habit not intention.
Is it Ambien? Boyo has some terrifying and hilarious tales from taking that.
Haven’t had sex, but I’ve completely organically had entire conversations while blacked out
For like quite a while now I only have sex when I’m asleep

Day 1 of holiday:
Savage migraine.
No! That sucks!
Do you have meds?
Just paracetamol and ibuprofen. Its eased a bit now but still bad in the back of my head.
It’s your body rapidly getting rid of all the bullshit you’ve had to put up with lately, tomorrow will be a fresh start for holiday funs!
this is not far from the truth
Do you find caffeine helps?
I used to wash the painkillers down with a strong coffee hoping to constrict the blood vessels in my brain and shorten the migraine
