Oh no. Feel free to vent. It's your right when you have covid. Speedy recovery 💜
Ugh. My condolences.
Omg noooooo 😭 I hope you feel better soon and it isn't too bad!! I know you know, but remember to drink heaps of water and rest, it can really knock you out and drain your body's resources
Sending you good vibes, my love, and wishing you a swift recovery.
Sorry Low, may you have a speedy recovery!
noo, take care, lots and lots of rest
Oh no. Take care.
Oh bugger. :(
Get plenty of rest and I hope you get better and get your sense of taste back again soon.
Ah fuck that really sucks. Sorry to hear it ❤️
The worst timing! Look after yourself, get lots of rest and get well soon...
Oh no, hoping for a quick recovery for you.

HOME FROM LAST LATE SHIFT FOR 2 MONTHS WOOOOOOOO 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Funny fuck up tonight. I was speaking to a client and had to put them on hold for a couple minutes to get help. I got the help, then called the client back. They didn't answer so I left a voicemail. 5 minutes later when I'm finished with the file, I noticed they're still on hold to me. I'd left them a voicemail while they were on hold to me. At least they thought it was funny when I said "so this is going to seem a bit silly, but I've just left you a voicemail"...

Yo 🍺
Well done!!!! That's awesome!!! You can get back to your normal hours!!

So, like, I don't shave my legs. I just don't care, even though the hair is dark and noticeable. I went to the shops in a sundress, and some middle ages white dude looked me up and down, saw my legs and made a very directed "UGH" at me.

Now I'm hot, I'm sweaty, I'm tired. So I whipped around and half yelled "ugh look at yourself you fat fuck!"

I'm in Brunswick, fuck off c-nt

Felt fucking good and I'm still not gonna shave lol

Wtf is wrong with people
Go you!
- Lol idk what he was thinking 🤣
wtf, it's Brunny, it's where we can be creative and ourselves
what a stupid dick that guy 🙄
- I know right lol prolly why I reacted so angrily. I haven't experienced that since I lived in the south-east lol.
  Hope he loses all of his body hair! 😂
That guy can get fucked.
- Mhm! I love the feeling of the wind in my leg hair and no one can take that from me! 😂
Fuck that piece of shit
I love that you turned it back on him!
Ugh. What a dickhead. You don’t exist to cater to this guy.

I would LOVE some insulation in my roof right now. I live on the top floor and the flat roof is a fucking oven for my place 😭 even with the aircon on.

All my quiz assessments are done. I have three pracs I need to catch up on 😭 I can do it I can do it

Ughhhhhh

- Thank youuuuu! 🙌🏼 I need the motivation from the lovely people here haha and you are so sweet for encouraging me! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You got this!!! The sun is going down, hopefully the air-conditioning wins the battle against the heat soon. I agree with Gibson's human, bribe yoself
- Thank you! I hope it cools down in here too as the sun sets!
  Yessss bribe myself with chocolate and fat steak 😂
I like to bribe myself lol
If I do X then I get Y as a reward
- I'm gonna have to! My brain is still mush but the reward pathways are firing 😂
You can do it. 👍👍👍
- Thank you 🙌🏼
You can do it!!! Thinking cool thoughts
- 💜💜💜 thank you!!! You're the best!!! 😭💜🙌🏼
YOU CAN DO IT!
- 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💜💜💜
  Thank you! It means so much to me!

Ordered a pizza because why the fuck not. It's been a hell of a day ☹️

You've reminded me I haven't treated myself to my post-move pizza! Might have some tomorrow night. Sussing out the local joints... found one that piques my interest. Ain't paying $8 for delivery if I can nip out and get it in 3 minutes though
- I'm embarrassed to admit how much I paid for a wood oven pizza to be delivered.
  Its a special treat lol
Why not?
Hope it’s yummy!
Oh, snap
Treat yo self

Sometimes I want to reach through my monitor and strangle the client.

Time for some r&r

"Ah, I think I understand the problem with your device. For our next troubleshooting step please pick up your mouse. Now just wrap that around your neck ever so gently... I understand it sounds silly but we're trying to align your bodies electrical field with your device to restore functionality... great, that's done? Now grab both ends of the cable, either side of your neck, and just pull as hard as you can. You might find it difficult to speak for this bit but don't worry. Also black dots appearing in your vision is perfectly normal... great... keep pulling..."
- 😂😂😂
- 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
  Thank you I needed that!

reminder to run around shut the blinds, get the AC running and all that jazz. Shes gonna be a warm one for a couple of days. More efficent to keep the place cool rather than try cool it down once it heats up. Even just a cardboard box on a west facing window can help HEAPS.

I ventured outside. It was a mistake.
Cranked the evap at 9 am today
Warmest part of the house is currently 22 degrees
Got the AC on here. Was pretty toasty when I went to get my bins but I think it’s now hit 36 outside.
Thank god for AC!
Blinds down, air con on
Popped by home about 20 minutes ago to grab something in between stuff, wasn't too hot yet but regret not turning the AC on pre-emptively. Blinds are all firmly shut though. It's crispy outside for sure. Really grateful for my very cool and breathable uniqlo airism top

I had an interview with a nearby university today. They have an arrangement with an ebike leasing company and onsite childcare, so I could see myself riding the boys to work in a cargobike on creek trails and dropping them off at childcare while I work. There were technical problems on my end with the interview though, so I hope that doesn't impact things too much

Good luck!
- I hope my technical problems don't ruin my chances too much, but they have similar roles open I can also apply for

What a bloody bonza day! Beautiful weather!

Had some pizza for lunch, then scored a free frozen coke off HJs, and I am absolutely loving this toasty weather. Takes a couple hours to acclimate, and gotta watch the water intake, but I am absolutely in my zone today!

I agree. I like the warm and don't even mind if I'm doing work outside. Feels alive to be challenged by the environment. 🙂
- Weather - the one thing humans want to control more than power and money

Dog sits beside me. I turn on the microphone. Dog runs away. I've been shamed.

Ted is on a diet. If he hasn't lost weight by his next vet visit in 3 months I am in trouble.

Ted is now attacking my bum again because he is cranky for dinner. I am going to need bum armour.

I suggest a culet
Poor bumbiter. Does he like vegetables? Maybe some of those mixed in might help feel fuller for longer

Off to the bellarine today. Bit of a hard time convincing mum to come with but got there (probably could've gone about that differently).

Taking her around the garden and showing the new side path yesterday was not a very good indication it's just not safe for her to be alone and it's making me wonder about how to go about exercise / physio. Have to pace this as it's already overload. Basically too many people telling her what do which is pissing her off and will lead to refusal.

Won't be much of a break for her but hoping the change will lift her mood (even though she's shitty she has to come down).

On the plus side dynamic b/w old man and I has completely changed. We're agreeing on everything and whilst more medical stuff, is very (very) new and a nice change.

The docs gave me some advice about my Mum when her health and cognitive processes started to go haywire - don't forbid anything, don't insist on anything except her pills. Let her drive the process of coming back to life, after a major shock to her system. I suspect your Mum is having a serious self-re-assessment from old healthy person who is essentially OK, to old not-so-healthy person who needs help. This is major major shift. Takes time.
- Thank you for this advice.
  old healthy person who is essentially OK, to old not-so-healthy person who needs help
  This is pretty much the case.
  I need to dial the insisting down a bit methinks.
Did she receive any PT/OT during her stay? They would usually give her some basic exercises and education.
Rehab in the home is an option, too, if concerned about the convenience of attending appointments.
- I was surprised how little info they gave her. Funnily enough she used to be an OT.
  But I think you're right in home rehab is a good idea it's just whether she'll be okay with it.

Beers, whiskey and weed.

Happy Friday you beautiful people

Right there with you minus the alcohol 😂
- Yes girl!!!
  I've been puffin all day (kids at school and day off). Couple of vape hits now are taking me to outer space.
  The alcohol is a nice a grounder.
  Enjoy your night 😁
Cheers 🍺
- Onya
Cheers!
- Chin-chin
🤘🍺🤝🍺🍻👌🤘💪🍻👄

Oh that was a shite week full of shitefulness but it's DONE. Got some important stuff out the door today and I pre-booked myself a ticket to an art show tonight so I wouldn't just flop. Out I go 🌟

Gonna line up a swim tomorrow too. Have booked a car for chores and am aiming to be inside in time for cricket snooozes

- I did. I have saved all year and I bought some cool art. And this dude
Aw yeah! You smashed it Old Greg! Fantastic work! You deserve this night out AND the swim and all the great things! I'm proud of you for pulling through!
Edit: I know I've said it before but i love your username, always hear Noel Fielding as Old Greg.
"I have a mangina!"
- That is 100% what it is (and in the old place it made people think I was a he and not a non committed she/they so it felt safer...) but mainly Noel.
  Interesting story - he was on a talk show once and told this story about camping at Glastonbury and it was dead quiet at 3 am and he heard someone cry "I'm old greeeeeg" and he knew he made it.

Why yes, I think I will use the company uber account to go home after my client meeting.

Edit: client forgot goddamn it

Milk it hahha
- Damn straight!
one of my old jobs the boss had to threaten folks with naming and shaming where they were going at 3am on a sunday morning to stop folks using the corporate account on personal trips.
- 😂😂😂 Honestly I've considered it and thought I could say I got it mixed up with my personal.

Finallly!

Pakidge!

I like when I “make friends” with cars on my commute, begin to recognize the same cars/number plates… but then I feel sad for us because we’re stuck in the same shitty traffic.

Saying good bye to them after a long trip makes me sad.
Ditto fellow tram travellers. The same faces keep cropping up on the same tram.
- I ride past some regulars on the way to and from work. Same people walking, jogging, walking their dogs. I even recognise a couple of the cyclists. There's this big dofus of a dog that I kid you not has dreadlocks. I see the dog/owner most mornings and it always brightens my day.

Work complete. I'm going for a swim

I decided to pressure wash the deck this morning. Despite the water spraying everywhere it was very hot. And very dirty.

Here's to Bok Choy appreciation week

*Note: This maybe Pak Choy brother of Bok 🤷‍♀️ anyway cheers foragers 🍺

Meeting great success, churning through cases, will put cricket on later…today is okay

ad a coffee and it'll go to amazing!
- Coffee!! I forgot!

Yay. It's Friday, it's beer day, it's cricket day and it's not pissing down with rain. It's a good day. 🏏 🍺🙂

Just gotta wait a bit cos it's in Perth.

Oooh Perth Test day....that's the first day of the Christmas season in my book. When everything truely starts to feel like there's an end in sight 😎😎
- It's not Summer without cricket.
- Cricket is a fun topic in IT: I'm always outnumbered in my teams by Indian coworkers, and there's a weird dichotomy where I'm the only person in the office going for Australia while the game is being played a few km away.
My day is almost ready for it. I need to get the washing on now to put it away before the test starts and I need coffee and food.
Argh!

It’s only 9:30, but I’m going to bed. Nigh nighs

After taking a couple of days break from this community as I felt I was posting too much; coming back and skim reading some of the comments / threads:

:(
- Welcome back Baku, nice to see your name here again! Sorry for being late to the party there, break n all :/
Aww, why? I don’t think anyone can ever post too much.
- I was checking way too often and had a broken sleep cycle which meant opening up the latest daily thread at like 4am rather than going back to sleep...
  Btw thank you again for the flowers info! I still can't get over how excited they (florist) were on the phone
Yeah, yesterday was..... Something.
- Some days it's all strawberries, other days are not so sweet. I put it down to the hot weather combined with the fear of upcoming Christmas shopping.
I don’t get how some of youse only ever post in the dailies.
You’re on the whole of Lemmy and you keep to one post. So weird.
- We're a family group here. We don't need to see the world, we only need to see each other
- I keep to Local and Subscribed. I used to explore wider around Lemmy, but the feed is full of US politics, and wars in Gaza and Ukraine. I don't find many kind people and reasoned discussions in those posts.
  I'd probably be up for wider content sometimes, but I also don't want to get to a point where I'm spending 5 hours a day on Lemmy. I'd rather spend those hours reading a book. Presently, that book is Farnsy's Autobiography and it's really tickling my nostalgia.
- I only came to Lemmy for this community
- I guess if you're looking for an answer to that, it's probably (like most things): because they want to.
  It's not that weird. This place has a different vibe to Lemmy as a whole, and most of /top is just memes and stuff. Some people don't care for memes. We have a good community here of regulars, so it's not that weird.
- I'm part of the Lemmy problem here as old.reddit has far more activity in niche communities that I enjoy so I stick over there, which then means the activity stays on old.reddit except other than with this beautiful community of local awesome people in this daily thread.
- Lol, I scroll Lemmy like I did with Reddit, I don't comment much because I don't think I have much to say. I do upvotes posts I see. But why come here and look down on us?

Back part of the house hitting that critical point where the cat boxes start vaporising 🤢

Poo pourri
- 😂😂

Just got home. Closing all the windows/curtains/roller shutters worked. Nice 25 deg in kitchen. The effing houseplants will just have to cope with low light conditions for today & termorrer. Fussy little buggers.

Time to defrost an emergency quiche for din dins. Cbf cooking anything.

Note to self : restock on cheap white plonk suitable for drinking over ice. The current cardboard box is getting a bit light and sloshy.

I’m so grateful I have aircon. Hope everyone can sleep ok in tonight’s heat.

The fluffy boyz are just laying there being fluffy and hot
Same seriously. This place would be awful without aircon.
Barely below 30 out there yeesh. I'm leaving the ac on but it's not cooling down the bedroom much. Good thing heatwaves aren't more than a couple days usually in Melbourne. This unit would be unliveable without ac tho

Melbcat does not like being brushed. Last night she tolerated gentle finger combing and the fine toothed side of my own comb, but I just lost her trust again by going in a bit enthusiastically with the slicker brush.

Does anyone know a mechanic they can trust? I just want to find one that's not going to take advantage.

I figure I should have one for down the track.

Google the closest ones to home. Pick 3 closest to 5 stars. Read the reviews. Pick one when you need them.
I'd start with check the reviews of places you can walk to.
- I'll do it.
  No guarantees though and you can pay me in beer.

Ginger beer's on special buy at Coles, 2 x 1.5L Kirk's brand for $3.50. I grabbed a couple and am going to enjoy the sunset from the patio

I've developed a bit of a taste for ginger beer/ale recently. Just goes so nicely with the warm weather. The Bundy ones are my favourite, followed by Schweppes. Keen to try the Kirks

Edit: ive tried it, it's not the best. It's a lot "spicier" tasting than shcweppes ginger ale, and it's been too long since I had a Bundy one to be sure, but I think it tastes spicier than that did too. I'm not really picking up on the ginger though. Plus the lack of a glass bottle makes it a lot less cool

My Nan and Opa brew their own. They would use old coke/lemonade bottles and store them in the bathtub for fermenting.
Many many times have they literally exploded (I was their for one and it's louder than a gunshot)and rained ginger beer all over their bathroom 😂 but no commercial brand has ever ever been as good as theirs lol
Was meant to add, Bundaberg is the best commercial brand tho lol
- Ooh, I might have to give that a go next year! I've gotten super into mead making tiktoks recently, and ended up purchasing a 1 gallon jug and air lock off Amazon, as well as yeast. Haven't used them yet, but I reckon next year I might give that a go
  I've also been interested in making kimchi and Kombucha (even though I don't really like Kombucha) which I think are similar processes. Might need to add ginger beer to the list lol
- My mum tried to brew her own and had the same result, so had to put it all outside. I remember being very entertained by the explosions as a kid, lol
Soon bundaberg will have their spiced one out for Christmas. It is beautiful!
Kirks ginger beer is a mixer - that is, it is intended to be diluted a bit. Usually by putting alcohol in it, but any liquid will do. 1 part extra liquid to 4 parts Kirks ginger beer.
- The Schweppes is too, but that doesn't stop me from drinking it straight :D

I am now 100% outdoor cupboard free! The last two were collected off the naturestrip after a couple of hours. I pressure cleaned the deck they used to sit on this morning - it looks a bit shabby and it is very obvious where the cupboards were sitting and protecting the wood. Next step is to put a new coat of decking oil onto it, which is a few years overdue.

Will you be using Schaeffer's?
- Oh dear. I don't think my deck could handle that 🤣

Massive bowl of crunchy green for lunch

pb toast here 🤷‍♀️
- I’ve had peanut butter toast today as well.
Plate of absolutely deliciousness from the Malaysian place around the corner from work. So so so tasty!

Picked up giant heavy box from post office, I had to bring a trolley and drag it home. 5 loads of rubbish taken down to the rubbish room so far, 2 to go. Then washing to hang out on the clothes rack ( I washed the rack, it gets grimy from city smog ) , vacuuming, more washing. It's getting warm here.

one more load to rubbish room, washing has been hung out and another load put in the machine

it's a warm day

last load, an old chopped down pot plant that I can't remove from pot is just too heavy for me to carry, might use a trolley later

Not much uni work done today but at least I've ticked off a few more items - dropped off flattened boxes at work, picked up old bike temporarily stored there, printed out pathology referral, dropped off friend's forgotten item northside, grabbed a bit of potting mix to take back, dropped off the old bike at CERES, rushed back home as I'd left lunch there, back at uni, then popped out again to have my tyres looked at again because of the check tyre pressure light - turns out it just needed resetting.

Back now for about two hours before I just go have drinks at work or something and choof off home. Pretty chuffed that there is movement and progress

Wow. That’s a lot of stuff done in a day.
Well done.
Hope the weather isn’t wearing you down and drinks at the end will definitely help wind things down today.
- I'm definitely a bit dusty but it hasn't been too bad as I did most of the physical stuff before 11am and been enjoying A/C either at uni or in the car most of the rest of the time. Found good shaded paths to walk for the most part.
  I've had breakfast and lunch and am starting to feel hungry again though, damn. Will be having a big serving of dinner tonight. How are you holding up in this heat?
You definitely deserve a wind-down - have a lovely evening:-)
- I'm pretty glad i got my TV set up last night, don't need to do anything tonight and can just blob out listening to tunes, maybe start a TV show

India all out for 150. Nothing makes me laugh more than r/cricket when India are losing.

BTW 150 is a shit score

Hopefully our batting is a lot better than that.
After seeing the ODI we better not replicate that.
- I hope so.🤞

I feel very much improved by my swim

Boob sweat

Good night everyone 😘 sleep cool

Sweet dreams x

ta da, just finished reading a general text book on modern handwriting and calligraphy. I have learned much. One thing is that it is near impossible to have nice Modern Round English script, the script I was taught at school. It looks crap for nearly everyone and is hard to get to look right with thick and thin lines with a pointy pen.

Books on Italic handwriting scripts have been ordered. 🙂

Today I also watched Young Fronkensteen. I think comedians often make movies with their friends so they can make jokes. Which is great too. 😸 3.5 hobbits .

Dr. Frankenstein: You must be Igor.
\ Igor: No, it's pronounced "eye-gor."
\ Dr. Frankenstein: But they told me it was "ee-gor."
\ Igor: Well, they were wrong then, weren't they?
Slays me everytime, one of my favorite movies

Completely forgot that the Queenscliffe music fest. is on over the w/e.

Been hearing them do sound checks all day.

Brought up the line up.. only name I recognise is the wiggles sound system.

Not exactly slammin' Drum and Bass but I hope they play this Certified banger with none other than DJ DOROTHY

Dorothy could do with a tip from Heavysaurus I love that there's heavy metal for children in Germany!
- hehe.
  Shame these guys aren't on the bill

Seen it on tv if that counts.
Isn't that PTSD, or is there a difference????? I'm asking cos I just don't know.
- There's a difference. OCD is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The most well known symptom is being compelled to do a certain thing over and over until it is "right", such as turn off a light switch multiple times until you get it "right", or washing your hands until they bleed because you can see "germs" still.
  PTSD is when a person experiences and extremely traumatic event, such as war zone combat, victim of an assault, etc. the brain will rewire and enact pathways to "protect" you from the event/memory. This leads to the brain not storing the memory in long term memory, but always in short term, so flashbacks (essentially being teleported back to the traumatic event) occur frequently as the brain thinks the short term memory is a new event that is happening.
  CPTSD is similar, but it's Chronic or Complex. This means a person has experienced trauma over a long period of time, or multiple times. I have this. This can be caused by being stuck in an extremely abusive relationship (be it romantic or familial), and the brain has a plethora of short term memories not stored correctly, so the triggers for a flashback are numerous and esoteric. The flashback won't just be one event, it could be multiple different events.
  That's a simplified explanation.
Haven't heard that term. Boyo has CPTSD and needs rewiring for neuroplastic pain. Some of the external signs are what pop culture calls OCD.
no sorry

I wish I could play video games longer than an hour. Goddamn adhd.

In other news, Fluffball is content in front of the aircon

Ikr. I just want to get to that flow state I used to have lol
Gibson looking as sweet as ever! 😻
- Same!!! I have it with music which I'm super grateful for. Even have it with work and the gym. Just can't maintain it with games :(
  Fluffy bum is very happy that I convinced the landlord to install an aircon lol

Last chance day for cupboard sales, all the leftovers are going out on the naturestrip. There should be a buyer picking up one this morning which means only two left over. It's been a bit tedious getting rid of them. but it is good to get the space back. Now I just need to move the tent - I've sold it three times already to people who never showed up.

Edit: plus a bonus typo for the day: just got asked if the cupboards are lovable (instead of lockable)

I guess if they were loveable you wouldn't be abandoning them on the side of the road
- Very true.

I have to visit a sort of lecherous client today (long story).

Then that's basically it. Just free roam around lol

Any ideas on where to go out tomorrow night for drinks? Usually I'd go to a bar or live music but wondering if anyone has summer evening suggestions

in this heat? arbory afloat or pony fish.
- Excellent!
- Yeah in this heat those sound like decent suggestions other than Arbory being stupidly priced, I'd only add Riverland or maybe Boat Builders but more of a walk for something even more casual.
  Otherwise you're looking out for well cooled rooftop bars that are further out. There are some in the CBD like the rooftop cinema but others are a specific vibe.
I think you are East? Possibly a bit too far but I'm fond of Hail Lilith
- Will suss it out. There's nothing here so I'm used to travelling
Replied to another comment but also if CBD is an option you could try Cigalo. Cigars on the rooftop terrace with cocktails is fun.
I remember that you vape(d), and so I hope you remember that I'm a bad influence.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-22/weekly-news-quiz-november-22-arias-matildas-space-x/104632138

We have a quiz, people. This is not a drill.

5/10 - a couple of lucky guesses, but more unlucky ones. Story of my life.
6/10
7/10. That's it, I've peaked for the day, time to pack it all up and go home.
5/10 can’t just blame lack of coffee, sadly
- I only managed 4/10, and that was largely guessing
4 / 10 today
Half asleep and still crap. 4.
- same

Late night wine fueled brain thoughts.

Cat is a lot and I miss the dog. Games are great but so damn frustrating. Collecting supplies but my creativity seems empty. What is easy is not satisfying, what is difficult just makes me cry. I'm tired.

Sleeping in and cat breakfast time are not compatible concepts

Goodnight from the purple room 💜

"this is my leg now, see you at 4am".
- 🤣🤣🤣

Why is it so hard to do stuff

It is hot and you have few spoons. You are doing enough. Pronise
- But why brain no art

Tomorrow was not a great choice to book a chemical peel. I think I better buy a hat.

definitely wear a hat
https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/chemical-peel/about/pac-20393473
- Absolutely, they do coat you in sunscreen after too thankfully.

audio visual cabinet has been sorted , I so want to reboot and reset all the devices so they at least sync but my husband would have conniptions

Yet another wrong address food delivery drop. Yell out for the guy but he dgaf. Next door heard and claimed it. Now I get to be judgy about his Maccas arvo snack

You ordered and it went to the wrong place?
- No, I ordered nothing, other people's stuff on my doorstep.

It looks like my gardening bee is going to be wetter than originally expected. Great for the plants, but I might end up going through a few changes of clothes. At least it is still going to be warm.

I’m stupid. I thought you had a pet companion bee for a moment there.

I dunno if DJ dorothy the dino is tearing up the decks tonight at the queenscliff musik fest. but the neighbours dogs are having none of it.

Must be a fair rig though can hear it from 2.5km away.

Reminds me of approaching park parties, slightly muffled bass.. getting louder.. louder.. then you made it! And then after a few hrs you realise oh shit now I have to try and make it back home.

the first time I've seen that emoji being used the intended way lmao

Or it’s not finding your gpu assuming you have one other than your onboard one.
Dang it!!! That's the worst! 😭

This Tropical meat is thriving.

I'm dying 😭 I'm not tropical meat. Just a cool potato baking away
- 🧊

If no-one's done tomorrows thread, I'll do it.

We’re 5/38.

This isn’t looking good

My current state
- HAHAHAHAHHA!
  I forgot that scene 😂😂😂 the noises Patty and Selma make when they melt has slayed meeee 😂💀

I'm watching Based On a True Story and its so good. It's funny, shocking, you don't know what's coming up and it has a really good storyline. I'm addicted now.

I have another 2 weeks of meal replacement shakes. I can do that. Then after that will buy some more. I bought a cute skirt that I could only get a size too small as motivation.

Ted's diet is going well, he is getting cranky.

What shakes are you using and how is it working out so far?
- They are super easy to use and taste good. I have some fruit or salad with it. It's only been two weeks and they are aldi shakes. I'm not sure if I'm losing weight yet but it's also a good way to reinforce good eating habits and eating fewer calories has to work, right
  am also sleeping earlier and doing other stuff too 👍

$190 for a five minute conversation with the surgeon
Ouch. Some of them charge like wounded bulls.
- They earn so much, that $190 may as well be $1.90 to them

I'm trying to think of an American show in the 80s that featured a red headed dude in a brown leather jacket. He was either a detective or a private eye and I think the theme song was Saturday In The Park but I could be wrong. It was on late at night. I've googled and nothing comes close. If you could help, most appreciated.

I'll find it. Early or late 80s? What American accent did they have? Any particular city or was it rural?
- I reckon mid to late 80s early 90s. City, maybe New York or Chicago.
I have a few leads.
Wise Guy.
Spenser for Hire
Jake and the Fatman
Downton ( 1986 )
Booker (1989)
Greatest American Hero ( ???)
- Omg. Thanks for this but it just came to me. It was Minder. Not even the the same country. I'm sorry.

Otrivin (or xylometazoline) is a miracle drug, if you haven't tried it already. Highly effective, I'd spray about 30 minutes before going to bed, but check r/QuitAfrin if you need motivation to avoid taking it more than 3 days.
