Men rule the world

Sunday.  14th.  Vive la France.  All the roast veggies with leftover lamb.

Then Mash, then I watched the second half of the Pretty Baby documentary on Brooke Shields.  Although I was a little disturbed that Disney suggested watching The Kardashians next.. 

Monday.  Awake from some time after 2 to some time after 5.  Hurray.  Zombie day.  Cooked lemon pepper chicken for dinner which was quite nice, but too tired to do anything useful in the evening.

Totally winged it with the lemon pepper chicken.  Some leftover chicken, some mushrooms and cabbage that I fried up first, an eschallot, lemon juice, chicken jelly, cream, salt, pepper and shallots.

Tuesday.  Even though I was super tired and went to bed early, didn't get to sleep til like 11.  Sigh.  Feet too cold, too restless, too TIRED to go to sleep.  Busy day.  Pondering a problem with our migration work.  Did some music after work.  Leftovers for dinner.  Queensland photo culling.

Wednesday.  Slept mostly ok.  So two weeks ago when I was staring at my NRMA crap, they were wanting extra info about the car, which I filled in.  It was supposed to reduce our premium by $100.  Except whatever I did never actually saved.  I never got any confirmation of the change or an updated premium notice.  Today I went back to it to pay.  Sure enough, nothing had been saved, so answered all the questions AGAIN, then paid on the spot.  *Eventually* they sent through email confirmation this time.  Another busy day.  Leftovers again for dinner.  

Thursday.  Slept mostly ok.  Another busy day.  Another day pondering problems.  Ramen-O for lunch!

Ramen-O cheese ramen

Quiet drinks.  Pizzas then Death in Paradise 10.2.

Friday.  Had an early night, but then an early wakeup.  Busy day.  Again.  Leftovers.  Again.  Mash, then Lego Masters.

Saturday.  Slept mostly ok.  Busy day doing All The Projects.  I have about five of my most urgent projects going at the moment, which means I get about an hour each on them each day of the weekend.  I don't have time to go to work.  Windy and rainy and sunny all day.

Before dinner watched The Movies that Made Us, on Friday the 13th.  I was utterly traumatised by this movie when I was about 11.  I honestly thought someone was going to come and murder me in my sleep.  Well as it turns out, it was actually Friday the 13th Part 3 that I saw at a sleepover that night back in ~1984.  I looked up the methods of murder, and it was actually part 3 that matched what I remembered.  The Lawrences should be ashamed of themselves letting a bunch of little kids watch this.  

TV dinners for dinner (trying to clear out the freezer), then we watched Barbie.  I had no idea what to make of it, it was utterly absurd for most of it.  

Sunday.  Slept mostly ok until 4:30 then never got back to sleep.  Busy day doing All The Projects.  As well as some food shopping for next weekend.  Coles used to have additive-free turkey roasts.  But now all they have is "marinated" ones that contain milk and soy - no good for people with allergies!!  So bought them from Woolworths - which at least only contain soy and not milk.  Pissed that I can't get a plain turkey roast anymore.  Three trips in and out of the mall for three different shops.  And didn't even get booze.  Probably got covid though.  Sigh.

In other news, yesterday I watched the "launch" and naming ceremony for Spirit of Tasmania V.  I did have to wonder what happened to III (since we've been on I and seen II, and the new ones are IV and V).  Turns out III was only in service for a few years before being sold back to Europe.  It was kinda cool but a bit amatuer hour on the cameras!
