Monday. 8th. Backdating because spent too much time last week blogging the week before. Took a while to get to sleep Sunday night, woke up a bit early. Ok day I guess. Cooked creamy mushroom fettuccini for dinner, but it took over an hour. Sigh. Not enough TIME. Cruise photo culling and Lego Grandmasters.
We caught this in the lounge room on the weekend
There's snow on them thar hills!
Tuesday. Slept ok. Started off fresh and getting things done, then the hassling started, one thing after another after another. I never did get item 2 of my todo list done. Such a busy day. Logged off, then five minutes later Con messaged me that work that had originally been planned for the night and had since been cancelled, had been uncancelled but noone bothered to tell me. Brisket for dinner (the thing was making me hungry all afternoon.
Wednesday. Slept ok. Well other than waking up from a traumatic dream where I couldn't get my Subway lunch. The dude serving me was speaking jibberish and also couldn't understand me. I begged for someone else to help. The manager tried but he made a footlong sub that also had seafood in it. And I'm like, I'm not paying for a footlong with seafood because it'll be soggy and disgusting by the time I get to the second half later. So he went to start a new one but then wandered off half way through and I'm getting super upset because I'm hungry and just want my lunch and noone else would help either and I was trying to come around to make it myself. Silly really. Another day of people coming to me with problems and not able to get my own work done. But did have a good documentation session while waiting for the sweetie. Leftover curry for dinner and photo culling.
This is a fun pic - the count of blog entries I've made per month over the past twenty years. I used to blog more frequently back in the day, but didn't include photos nearly as much. It's the downloading and processing of the photos that takes the most time and energy and was always the barrier to posting them more often. And why I mostly only blog weekly now, so I only have to download and process my photos once a week.
Thursday. Slept ok. Woke up to the news that Heather Armstrong of dooce.com had died. Literally the first thing I saw on Instagram, and somehow I just knew it would be suicide.. the Black Dog finally caught up with her. I feel bad for Leta, Marlo, Pete and all her family and friends, pretty awful thing for them to go through. Rest in Peace. Work/drinks, then mostly reading about Heather and some of the comments on her last post.
Friday. Slept ok other than waking up a bit early. I think. Ok day. I think. Sigh.
Saturday. Did a few things at home before we went out for breakfast and food shopping.
This overpass in Gungahlin wasn't here last time
Coffee Club brekkie burger
I'm a sweet pickle? what?
Of course it was nearly midday by the time we got home. Then it was mostly cleaning the house all afternoon. Sigh. Had Nick and Tab over for butt beef cheeks for dinner which was nice.
Sunday. Slept ok. Did a bottle/tip/Green Shed run. At least it didn't take too long. But then spent the entire rest of the day sorting out Dad's photos of various Queensland and northern NSW trips. He'd mixed up like four entirely separate holidays all together into ten boxes of slides. Oddly he'd also included some from a 1978 trip, but not all, and he'd also put some of the slides from one of the earlier trips into the 1978 trip. Such a mess. But think I got it all sorted out in the end.
But by the time I'd done that it was after 15:00 and I hadn't done anything else on the todo list and then I started freaking out how short weekends are and I how much I have to do. I did some music, then photo downloading and processing. But it takes like an hour to blog each week and I still hadn't blogged last week. Sigh. And I also think I might have accidentally found out the winners of Lego Grandmasters. hrmm. Stu cooked some mince for dinner, then Futurama/Crown.
