    Second cushion is complete. My aim is to finish the two back cusions today as well, but I might only get one done. I’m glad I decided to do the sofa with a single long cushion instead of the three seperate cushions it currently has, that would have taken a lot more time.

    Kitchen is a mess but worth it. First tempura zucchini flower which was exciting (weird looking thing in the middle). Sort of pointless but it looked nice.

    A friend in Queensland sent through this link: https://www.lifeblood.com.au/blood/blood-supply-levels

    Even though I figure they’re not sending blood from WA to Queensland, I saw that local supplies in my blood type were low. So I dusted off my old donor profile and made a booking.

    I fell out of the habit when kids and life stuff happened. I really should have gone back years ago. The process of donating blood is smooth and streamlined. I was in and out in under 30 minutes and back to my day.

      Thanks for donating on behalf of those who can’t :) What snacks did you get?

        A small bag of Kettle chips and a TimTam. They had a whole spread there, it was a lot fancier than the last time I donated.

      I have mine booked for the 22nd due to the low supply for A+!

      I got to wait another month before eligible again. It was also shown that firefighters who donated regularly had lower levels of the forever chemicals we’re being warned about these days. My pathology lecturer recommended men donate regularly as we don’t have a periods which allow the ladies to lose a little blood on a regular basis naturally.

        Last time I gave blood, I got my period the next day and I was absolutely wrecked! Had to get some iron tablets to feel normal again!

        Thanks for your donations bro! 😂💜

          I got my period the next day …

          For fairly obvious reasons, this is not a variable I’ve ever considered when donating. Does it take you out for long? My body doesn’t even notice the 500ml. I literally walked from the donation centre back the office, got changed and rode straight home.

            I was off colour for a few days before I got the iron tablets - severe lethargy and extreme brain fog. Couldn’t really formulate sentences quickly or coherently. Like I was laggy lol.

            I felt much better after taking the iron tablets - it was just poor timing!

            When Ive given blood before that, and it didn’t align with my period, I was fine too tbh

            I’m not sure how long it would have taken if I didn’t take the tablets though

    Got my replacement dishwasher in today, did one load successfully - here’s hoping it lasts me much longer than the previous one!! I felt such euphoria at clearing so many dishes in one go but had to check myself; don’t get attached to it just in case the dw craps out on you again…

    Cut up the packaging and dumped it in the recycling, finished the more annoying/tedious half of my desktop work, now doing a bit of laundry and vacuuming and once I get it all dried and am back I’ll feel like I truly deserve my week of tv :D

    I met one of the neighbours (well, the owner of one of the units) today who turned out to be super nice so that was a real pick-me-up

    I have made a start on the next lot of cushions, but decided to take a break instead and went to Resource Rescue (craft supplies) and ended up spending the last couple of hours sorting zippers and untangling elastic. Miss Meow tried to help, but her technique was a bit suspect and things went faster when she was diverted to a job as paperweight instead.

    Have been bed bound with migraine all day. Just now getting up to have breakfast and a shower.

    Crazy how a tiny bundle of nerves in my shoulder can absolutely ruin my life.

      I have 2 google homes. One in the kitchen and one in the lounge room. Sometimes the one in the kitchen that’s further away answers me but not what I’ve asked.

      The other day I got frustrated and replied “hey google shut the fuck up cunt”. Then I heard giggling from another room and realised I wasn’t home alone.

      Another one is:

      Me: Hey google. What’s the weather like today?

      Google: Would you like me tell you about your day…

      Me: NO. I asked for the weather. Fuck me.

    You know when you learn about something and then you notice it everywhere? Like when your date drives a red Corolla, and then you start seeing red Corollas everywhere?

    The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon / Frequency Illusion in action.

    Severance has Eagans.

    The olives in the fridge are Aegean brand.

    Now this?

    just another day of packing and cleaning

    at least it’s not hot

    but it’s also Severance day and severance reddit has been crazy

    It’s really taught me how people can be watching the same show and see completely different things. It seems to attract a bigger share of crazy conspiracy theorists than normal.

      Even when I watch a TV show that’s a few years old, I still like to google the show and the episode number after every episode because I love to see what other people are seeing/thinking/saying. I don’t know much about Severance besides what I’ve seen in here, but I can imagine it has people pitching the craziest of ideas!

        robots, clones, pregnancy and complete surveillance seem to be the most popular

        my fave nuts post so far has been the feminist saying no man could possibly understand the women signally to each other scene. It was men who wrote the scene.

    Playing a pre-alpha game I downloaded from itch.io (Voices of the Void), and my vehicle (ATV) just disappeared 😂 walked into a building, walked out and it was just gone lol

    I said out loud “I can’t be mad” and cackled as I ran back to my base lol

    Ah, the dulcet tones of f1 cars from a distance. Hooray, not…

    E: had a go with these hot and spicy chicken flavour (black packet) indomie noodles. Love the spices - cumin and some other stuff in there - but dear gods it’s fiery. Might put less of the chili oil next time. Or zhuzh it up with veg to offset the heat 🥵

        You’ll get used to the spice. Be brave.

        I grew up with much more spice than this and regularly cook/eat spicy food, but after nearly 15 years of living in Australia my chilli tolerance has gone down so much it’s not funny…

        E: I will also say this is nowhere near as mouth-rapingly hot as the black samyang noodles. That one is a biological weapon
