Sunday. 9th. Got home from the coast and spent some time doing Dotz, then closing off browser tabs. I really feel like I need to spend less time on the computer/internet/phone... hrmmmm. Downloaded photos from the week and blogged the last two weeks and some of the coast weekend. Leftover mince with cauliflower rice and cheese for dinner. Death in Paradise 14.1. Somehow managed to lose a BRAND NEW HAIR TIE!!! Had a slight meltdown because I'd been out of sorts all day, and this just sent me over the edge.
Monday. Went to bed early (like 20:30) but woke up at 12:45 and stayed awake for HOURS. Sigh. So not transfunctionating during the day. Mostly just did house stuff during the day, which all took a lot longer than normal because I wasn't transfunctionating. Finally finally got a bit of rain around 18:00 (even the weeds are dying at the moment!!). Need to bribe the little brother into visiting before daylight savings finishes so I can see what I'm cooking. Had lamb chops from Chris's and cabbage for dinner. I never used to like lamb chops growing up because they were just too damned fiddly with all the fat and bones. After forty years (and almost never having eaten them in the meantime) I have to say my opinion hasn't changed much. Sure they're tasty, but just too annoying.
Tried to watch Stranger Things but nothing would connect to the Chromecast, even after rebooting it, the wifi and Stu's phone. Did a bit of a Google and found everyone on the internet complaining about it. Enshittification much?? We ended up watching a bit of Hard Quiz. I think I could answer ONE question - football, meat pies, <what> and Holden cars?
Tuesday. Slightly early night. Actually slept quite well. Hurray. NEIL at work, who was off getting bits of him chopped out. Chromecast still down. Turns out an intermediate certificate expired so stuff couldn't authenticate. I wonder if Google are debating whether or not to fix it or let the generation 2 devices all just die and force people to buy new ones. I imagine that would piss off enough people that they would refuse to buy anything Google again. I also got my quarterly reminder at work to check for expiring certificates coming up in the next quarter. If only Google had done that.
Wednesday. The brother type person called me while I was at lunch. He could come TONIGHT. Except I didn't have a new light to install yet. He suggested Bunnings. I walked up to Project Lighting instead. They had a record of what we bought last time and I got something similar. Not the same of course. No no no. Maybe that's a good thing though because turns out Mercator Franklin lights are TRASH!!! Seriously LED lights should last years and years and years. Not SIX years!! And it's not like you can just replace a bulb, now you have to REPLACE THE WHOLE DAMNED FITTING!!! #hate Anyways, so David picked me up after work and installed the new light! Hurray!! Bestest brother ever.
Had a few drinks and chatted then he got a bee in his bonnet to setup the PS3 to be able to use Netflix and Amazon Prime. Did I mention I have the bestest brother ever?? :)
Thursday. Woke up around 2:45 for several hours. Sigh. Although surprisingly unzombielike.
NEIL again for the day. Julian's farewell at drinks which was nice (I called the Japanese whisky, but not Lego Himeji Castle :) ). Pizza with blue cheese for dinner!
DS9 1.13. Another dumb episode.
Friday. Slept fairly well. NEIL at work. Brown Food Friday!!!
DS9 1.14 and Death in Paradise 14.2.
Saturday. Went to bed at 21:30 but didn't get to sleep til after 00:30. Sigh. Then meh sleep. So twice this week I've had crap sleep the night before a day off. Sigh. Zombie morning, mostly house stuff. Did some Dotz and even did a jigsaw in the late afternoon - 500 pieces in an hour and a quarter flat! I asked the sweetie what's for dinner? His response:
Google fixed the Chromecast issue. Haven't looked up what they did. Watched DS9 1.14. Another meh episode. Does DS9 actually get any better? Most of season 1 is lame. Stranger Things 1.5. They finally banded together after all attackings things separately. Reminded me in one place of E.T. :)
Sunday. Slept mostly ok. Got a bee in my bonnet to write a script to swap out Picasa database directories. And spent a chunk of the day tagging people in photos. Whoops. Also gave Neil a lift to the hospital for antibiotics (did you know "hospital at home" is a thing? You stay home but have to pop into the hospital every day for treatment. Advantages and disadvantages - nice that you can hang out in your own house but a pain to have to trek into the hospital every day).
Also. Why TF does windoze reset the sort order of my directories EVERY DAMNED TIME IT REBOOTS??? Far out it pisses me off.
Have had like three drops of rain this afternoon. So much for showers.
