Sunday. 6th. Finished the leftover pork from the club for dinner with a bit of char siu sauce which made it very nice. Early night.
Monday. Slept ok. Stu was still feeling uneasy in his bowels. Had a not so insane morning which let me catch up on some tickets. Spent an hour after work doing house cleaning. Leftovers for dinner. Did some culling but still didn't finish Verona/Venice. Watched War on Waste 2.2 (saw third episode another night this week, don't remember which night though).
Tuesday. Took til like 1am to get to sleep - itchy and restless legs. Still woke up before 6 though. First thing in the morning they came by to dig holes for the new trees, then a little while later they came by to plant the trees. Which look decidedly like bottlebrushes not English hawthorns. Not that I'm complaining, just different to what they said. Another day of non stop interruptions and all the stoopid. Chicken kiev for dinner. Because I didn't feel like leftovers.
Wednesday. Got to sleep ok but then woke up at like 4 for like an hour an a half. Stressing about All The Things. Stu was somewhat back to normal with his bowels. Very unpleasant week for him. They came by to mulch in the trees. Lots of being hassled again. Made some pasta with some mince I dug out of the freezer. Then I finished culling down the Italy trip!!! And culled down the food and hotel photos as well. 1303 photos in the main section and a couple of hundred each extra for food and hotels. Wondering if I had a scratchy throat...
Thursday. Definitely feeling like I had a scratchy throat. hmmm. Decided to work from home. Craziness in the afternoon. Sigh. Still not actually feeling sick, just a slight scratchy throat and an infrequent cough. Took a RAT at some point today, I think. Negative. Pizza for dinner, Futurama, Death in Paradise 5.3.
Friday. Throat still a bit scratchy. The plan was to take an RDO and clean the house. But at this point I didn't even know if I'd be going ahead with the party. So I worked in the morning. Did another RAT. Still negative. Finished up around 2 then did a quick bit of house cleaning, then went and did the food shopping for the party. Tv dinners for dinner. Just because. 5.4 of Death in Paradise.
Saturday. Went to be early but then woke up at midnight for over three hours. Stressing about All The Things. Sigh.
Spent all day cleaning. All of this should have been done yesterday and Saturday was meant to be completely chilled with just the food prep to do. Sigh. Just before Kit left the coast I did a third RAT. Still negative. But messaged everyone anyway to let them know the situation and they didn't have to come if they didn't want to risk getting sick. A few people did pull out and I don't blame them.
I'll save the party for another post.
Sunday. Woke up at 6:30. Because that's what I do. No matter how late I go to bed. Saw Kit off at 8. Tried to get more sleep but failed. Slow day just doing a big cleanup - two loads of washing up, sorting the rubbish and recycling and vacuuming the lounge room. Not much else. Did start a jigsaw in the afternoon because didn't feel like doing anything else. Cooked up some of the leftover party food for dinner with some brussells sprouts.
Saw a cool video on sesquizygotic twins this week, in which twins share all of their maternal DNA, but only about half their paternal DNA. They're stoopidly rare and they're not quite sure how it happens. One theory is that an egg gets two sperm, and somehow they still manage to divide up the chromosomes successfully so as to not get duplicates. Cool stuff!
