Sunday. 20th. Stu cooked dinner - pumpkin and sage ravioli with burnt butter and salad. Delicious! Then watched random flashmob videos to keep me awake until something resembling bed time.
Monday. I actually had a shower Sunday night on account of getting all sweaty in the garden earlier. So I was actually fairly relaxed in bed. For the first hour. Where I still didn't get to sleep. At 22:30 the restless legs kicked in. At 23:00 I had a meltdown. How can you be so tired that you can't actually sleep. Sigh. Then woke up at 6, so was zombie tired. All day. Plus I had a sore ring finger. I thought I might have slept on it funny but I think I actually strained it (I bent the nail back on that finger weeding on Sunday). Struggled to concentrate all day. Music after work, leftovers for dinner then had on more flashmob videos to keep my brain awake enough to do photo culling.
Tuesday. Slept somewhat better, although it still took a while for me to get to sleep and then I woke up at 5am. More being Neil (in Cairns now!) and documenting cleanup work that needs doing. The backs of my legs still hurt from all the exertion on Sunday. Leftovers for dinner then lots of photo culling. Got frustrated at yet another barking dog in the neighbourhood. Sigh.
Really need to put Bambi away
Wednesday. Slept ok, but then a day of non stop messages and phone calls and meetings and stoopid so didn't really get anything useful done. Leftovers for dinner, then completed a first pass cull of all my Eurasia 2012 photos.
Thursday. Slept ok I think. Nothing much in the morning then went DND for a bit to get some work done in the afternoon which was super helpful. Got back into the swing of things with some doco.
This is the entire Disney behemoth stacked. Each of the ten sections is cut into four and layered on packing paper from our move in 2007. So it's forty layers thick.
Friday. Woke up at 1:40 with the start of hurty. Took some painkillers. An hour layer it was worse so maxed out on painkillers but they never fully helped and didn't get back to sleep til after 5. Sigh. So yet another zombie day. Did finish the cleanup doco though. The Chrises might have talked me into a Herbert's lunch.
This cider was pretty good - nice and strong and not sweet
Prawn and chorizo skewers, and brown sugar chicken skewers
Watched a couple of episodes of Autopsy in the evening. Well I did, the sweetie went and worked on his essay :)
Saturday. Slept relatively well, so alternated between house, photo culling and jigsaw after doing food shopping first thing. Late in the afternoon we headed out to the club (for the first time in four months!) for the Mexican night by M&M which was amazing as always. Although I did have flashbacks to earlier life when we couldn't find anyone to sit with and all the "cool kids" were sitting together and I had that epic feeling of rejection that was so familiar to me for such a long time and I might have had a small meltdown. But Rob came to the rescue so that was nice.
We finished off the last ever TRBC Tex Mex beer. I really hope they make some more, it was epic awesome!
Sunset was pretty too
So many yummy things to try!
Had a relatively early night, but still woke up at ~2am til well after 5 (there were still people partying in the shed when I went up to pee). Slept in a bit but today was pretty much zombie day. Sigh.
So today was struggling to get through house stuff and photo stuff (did get a few days fully culled though). In the afternoon setup to cook a whole bunch of the food I got yesterday. This should keep us going all week and then some. There's some tomatoes, plus some mince with garlic, eschallot and bacon, some bacon for having with salads, chicken thighs, some pork crackling (experimenting) and veggies.
You'll have to wait til next week to see the results of this - a whole heap of cherry tomatoes cut in half, drizzled with oil, salt, pepper and herbs and slow roasted for a couple of hours. So good!! 
I also somehow managed to end up with a completely clean kitchen, and photos downloaded and processed and a blog entry, all before 18:00! Although no music practise, oh well.
