Cloudy with a chance of Swedish meatballs.
Waited until the afternoon when it was nice and clear, and turns out we're having meatballs for dinner
See predictions were almost correct.
The weekend begins with Boyo wriggling his butt and declaring himself to be a pizza bagpipe. While asleep in case that wasn't obvious
What kind of pizza?
I shall assume pepperoni since that's what the giant plush snake was named
I have questions.
strange

Sphinx pose.
yay, I am wearing some old jeans that used to be too tight. I even have to wear a belt. It's nice to wear clothes that are not hanging off me. I must have lost 10 kgs this year . Another 10-15 to go. โบ๏ธ
Well done ๐
thank you โบ๏ธ
it's been tough, had to cut dairy, have halved my coffee intake, am on day 12 of no lollies , losing weight was not intentional
I thought that was the case. As long as you're feeling better, the weightloss is a bonus.
impressive!
Well done. Its no mean feat to change habits even if forced to by health needs.
dairy has literally become poison โน๏ธ
That is very sad. Hugs
the positive is I am not losing from illness, as you say it's forced change of habit
Why don't pizza cutters come with a sleeve? Rotary cutters do and so they should but a pizza cutter not always. I want one that doesn't want to bite me when I'm rooting around in my drawer.
I'm a tightarse and just use a chefs knife. One less thing to clean I guess.
My rotary pizza cutter comes with a cover. The one I actually use for cutting pizza is a rocker cutter, which is long and straight and sits neatly (and safely) along the side of the drawer between the drawer edge and divider tray.
Too dangerous to keep in a drawer, mine is on a shelf along with the mandolin.
Found my 4L sistema food storage tub so doing the next chilli ferment in that today. Hopefully the ones down the beach haven't sploded.
By the end of all this I'm guessing (hoping) I'll have a fair bit to give away if all goes well which is nice.
Iโm puttering along okay today
I'm off shopping again, anyone need anything?
Get yourself a tracksuit set from Aldi, I am routinely impressed by the quality and price of their clothes and today's travel trackies set is no exception.
Fruit juice and healthy snacks please
Hello. Was in the real world with some amazing people for a break last weekend then back in a work hole this week. Now chilling with some rave choons and a lil bubbly and about to make tea. How's this winter start treating us all?
Saturdays are always a bit grim for me, as it's the osteoporosis pill day. Which comes with very inconvenient side effects but it's only one day of the week and the pills are working so I persist with them. Tomorrow is my best weekend day. Will update this time tomorrow.
Bless. Bring on Sunday!!

Hot flushes have died right down which is a relief. Have upgraded to wearing a t-shirt to bed. Still no pants but it is early days.
Ah I have the amazing combo of a dodgy thyroid and peri menopause....last night I needed a snuggly long sleeve shirt..tonight I think will be a singlet. Stay strong Sista ๐ฅ
We're in it together Sista โค๏ธ

rave choons
!!
I went to Footscray yesterday for a little shopping
I saw a woman sleeping rough on a bench, wearing the same oodie I have now, the cute panda one
it's warm, it's comfortable, practical
hers was already getting grubby, I suppose I would get grubby too if I slept on benches
and cute, she chose it because it's cute. She could be us, we could be her. ๐ญ
I can't help everyone, I try to help one person a week .

I'm having a YouTube comments "dialogue" with the creator of the Fallout franchise (and also outer worlds).
Kinda cool.
it is definitely cool
doing computer and phone stuff continues
just watching lots of youtubes and reading user manual/instructions
does everyone do this, it seems i'm the only one who has no idea what I'm doing ( also, I don't use icloud, so don't suggest it )
