Monday. 27th. Slept ok, and an ok day, more playing with proxies. The magpie chicks have hatched. Managed 48 photos before dinner (last of the san choy bow mince with brisket rice and shredded cabbage). Into season 16 of The Simpons and day 39 of Eurasia labelling.
Also, I truly hate people. Some low life bastard stole the ruffled tulip bulbs!
Tuesday. Much the same really, started looking at some more cleanup work. Leftover pork and veggies for dinner (fried in jelly). Got 182 photos labelled.
Wednesday. Awake in the middle of the night for an hour because I was hot. Hrmmm. More documenting of things that need cleaning up. Creamy fettuccini for dinner. Finished day 39 labelling, into day 40. Stopped when I couldn't decide how to label Miniatur Wunderland - should I do a quick summary of the scene, or just label it all "Miniatur Wunderland". hrmm. Finished watching Love on the Spectrum. I reckon rather than one-on-one dates, they should have double dates, with or without "normal" people to add conversation direction. One of the problems with aspergers/autism is difficulty socialising, and I myself find it a lot easier in a small group situation (three to four is ideal) than one-on-one. I wonder if these guys would have any more luck like that. My favourite guy in the series was Andrew - into jigsaws and K'nex connector toys, and not a tea-totaller :) (another side note: dopamine makes it a helluva lot easier to relate to people, ask me how I know).
Thursday. Updated my doco on change management for the new system, and some people who hadn't seen it before were very excited that there was a nice document they could pass round/follow. Had virtual drinks in the afternoon which was a bit fun. Had about eleven people connect in. Watched the third episode of Connected - Dust. And I watched the pilot of Lie to Me. We'd seen a bunch of episodes of this like ten years ago, but there's plenty I still haven't seen, and because I have dementia I won't remember the ones I have seen heh.
Friday. Made pretty tables in Splunk for our firewall logs which are pretty hard to read in it. OMFG what a crazy news day though! 52 covid cases recorded - highest ever in Canberra for one day. ScoMo announced opening of international borders a lot sooner than we first thought. Gladys resigned.
From ABC News:
I was pretty impressed with the distribution of chocolates in the Favourites box I won for best dressed individual back in July for work Christmas in July.
And how pretty are thyme flowers?
Leftover pork and veggies fried in jelly for dinner. Watched Ocean Waves in the evening. This wasn't even in the list of Ghibli movies on Wikipedia when we were going through them last year, and not sure if it was online at the time either. It was a bit lame, and the girl in it was actually pretty horrible.
Saturday. Awake for hours in the middle of the night :(:( Talked to Zac for a little bit of it. Total zombie in the morning. Then the mother type person called which took out another half an hour, so it took all morning to get through my Saturday morning routine (that I usually have done by about 9am). So it was pretty much a write off of a day. Did get some jigsaw done though, and some music practise (I've been practising most days and learning new notes and getting better at blowing).
Put on American Pie while I blogged last week. Never seen it before, wouldn't have missed anything if I'd never seen it. But I knew that going in, hence why I wasn't really watching it. Chicken Kiev and veggies for dinner (Stu needed to go to the chemist, so he did some veggie shopping as well).
In the evening watched The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. It started off very silly, with unnecessary love triangles all round, but it did improve a lot in the second half.
Sunday. Slept somewhat better. Got a bit more done during the day. Feeling anxious about our cruise next year. Even though we might be able to travel in time for it, I really don't want to be going on a cruise out of Florida early next year. I still don't think they're going to be at herd immunity status by the time we get there, even if all the idiots that aren't getting vaccinated actually get covid. And if we get exposed and get it, we could miss out on the cruise entirely, or worse, could be hospitalised (can happen, even for the fully vaccinated). And insurance certainly wouldn't cover that. And there's no way in hell I'd ever want to be hospitalised in America without insurance.
Arribbiata bake and roasted tomatoes for dinner (photos to be added next week). I watched The Color of Money in the evening because I'd never actually seen it. It was pretty meh actually.
Monday. Today. I might have photos to add to this later, dunno. Feeling out of sorts all day that I just don't have enough time to get everything done. I mean it's not unreasonable that I want to finish the Disney jigsaw, finish scanning and processing all Dad's slides, file all this year's photos, file all my club photos, label my Eurasia 2012 trip, get through the backlog of This Day in History posts, and get all images for next years' posts set aside.. all by Christmas.. is it .. ?? And that's not even mentioning finishing the paint by numbers before the paint dries up, doing daily music practise, trying to stay on top of housework and the jungle that is our garden (and let's not forget being the sole chef and waitress), and who even knows where I'd fit in exercise into that punishing schedule. I'm just depressed that work takes so much time out of my life that I could be doing other things. And it's not like I don't like work, I actually do, it just takes up too much damned *time*. *sigh*
