Sunday. 28th. Reheated some mince that I cooked on Friday with some cream cheese and had that with salad for dinner. DS9 7.16. Early night.
Monday. Slept mostly ok.
Prepped some complicated comms rules for another section. Went to put the lamb shoulder into the slow cooker at lunch but it didn't fit. Sigh. This is what happens when you let someone else do the shopping for you. So put it in the oven in a baking tray with some stock and covered it in foil and roasted at 110C all afternoon. I couldn't tell how much power we were using because SolarEdge is trash and lost contact with the battery before lunch (and still hadn't gotten it back by the evening). A bit after 5 took it out to look at it. The garlic wasn't cooked and the lamb wasn't falling apart, so put the temp up a bit and freed the garlic and cooked at a higher temperature for like twenty minutes, then put in some brussels sprouts. So turns out the lamb was super tender, really well cooked, although it was a battle to get at the meat past all the fat.
Put on DS9 7.17, but when I went to turn the lounge lights off it hadn't made contact yet and popped up the menu to do stuff, but I hit the wrong button - instead of cancel to try again, I hit dismiss group, and then it was GONE. It's not the first time I've done this, but last time I was able to recreate the group (somehow, NFI how). This time no such luck. The Mirabella Genio app is one of the WORST apps out there. I was trying everything to get the group back but the app is utter TRASH and I was getting more and more stressed and eventually somehow deleted the actual light devices and two of them started flashing. I literally ended up having a meltdown because life is too damned HARD at the moment. Couldn't finish the episode and our lights are still stuffed up.
Tuesday. Took ages to get to sleep, then restless sleep thereafter. Hurray.
Busy day. Took the sweetie off to get an MRI on his back.
KFC on the way home. Oops. Neighbours have a visitor from Victoria who's parked partly in our driveway even with the extra space. #grunt. Finished DS9 7.17. Still haven't fixed the lights (actually managed to get one of them to pair last night, but not the other).
Wednesday. Galations 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance (patience!), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. I was going to print these out in emoji and stick them to my monitor to remind myself, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Con asked me to work on the new proxy policy. But first I had to get my persistent machine setup so I could actually *work* on it (rather than trying to switch between the two). So that took most of the morning. Then documenting and asking questions about what's been done so far and trying to wrap my head around this thing again. Off in the afternoon to get nuked (1/15). Two and a half hours out of the house later. Sigh.
Then needed to cook dinner, DS9 7.18, go comet hunting, then it was practically bed time. Sigh. I did download comet photos and post them though.
Thursday. Busy day. Conflicting priorities. Hurrah. Off to get nuked (2/15). I got there early and they were running early and it went quickly so I was out of there by the time I was meant to start. Winning!
Dominos for dinner. Whoops. DS9 7.19. Finished htmlifying Europe food photos.
Friday.
Busy day. Mostly proxy stuff. Nuking 3/15. Kievs for dinner.
DS9 7.20 then the first episode of Trainwreck: Storm Area 51, which was pretty hilarious.
Saturday. Busy day. And yet with all the running around and scanning taking longer than it should (hurray perfectionism) I didn't get nearly enough done.
Cooked a lasagna and blue cheese potato bake and roast tomatoes for dinner.
DS9 7.21 then the other episode of Storm Area 51.
Sunday. Bit of a late night (fighting with my backup drive). Woke up 6:00. Except actually 7:00. Another busy day of trying to do All The Things and only doing about A Quarter Of The Things. Blerf.
We still haven't fixed the last Mirabella light. I've tried a few times to get them into pairing mode but nothing happens. When we get around to it we might try taking out all the "good" lights and leaving just the unpaired one so we can fiddle.
Must be Sunday. Windoze has forgotten all my folder settings again.
