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.  

I saw this in the Green Shed, sorry Vinnies, sorry Goodies Junction a while back and snapped a photo of it - 101 Places to See Before You Die.  From the font on it I thought it might be pretty old - like maybe 80s or 90s, but the Millau Viaduct is on there and it didn't open til 2004.  

I went through the list recently (copied off here) and noted which ones I've actually been to/seen.  I also noted, for the ones I haven't, whether I want to see them, I'd be open to seeing them, or whether I don't really have an interest (or would be impossible with the current state of the world).

Here's my list!

So from the 101 entries:
Seen 45
Bucket List 15
Maybe 23
Shrug 18

Not a bad effort :)

Sunday.  7th.  Leftover lamb refried with some brisket jelly, and some Brussels sprouts with bacon and some garlic cauliflower for dinner then DS9 6.23 (dumb Ferengi episode).

Monday.  1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. .. don't always feel that.

Took ages to get to sleep, then woke up early. Bits and pieces day. NEIL again end of last week and beginning of this week. Also looking into our rule reordering incident and gathering more data. Leftover lamb, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower for dinner. DS9 6.24 (much nicer episode). Europe photo labelling.

Tuesday.  1 Corinthians 11:6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head. .. makes you wonder how much of the Bible's instructions are cultural.  Apparently I'm a disgrace at the moment.

Took a while to get to sleep, then awake from 4 for ages. Logged on to be NEIL briefly. Then off to get poisoned. Last round! Hurray!

You're meant to ring the bell on the way out, but I feel like it's a bit premature, you should really do it after a week or two once you've had a chance to recover somewhat.

Quiet afternoon. Started a new blog. Went for a little walk (to encourage the guts to keep moving).

Nearby phone tower with a whole new head (and extra reinforcing to support all the extra weight)

Stu had a very emotional day, with a farewell afternoon tea then a long HR meeting. He may have required ice cream. Cooked dinner. It looked nice. It apparently tasted nice. I didn't eat much, but it still felt like I ate too much. Had some of said ice cream. DS9 6.25. Then finished labelling my Europe 2016 photos!

Wednesday.  Somewhat restless sleep and awake from 5:30. Put on 2.4kg overnight. All fluid.  Slow quiet day. Stomach more off today than usual on first day post poisoning. The sweetie had his last day of work today. He was pretty emotional again. So we had pizza and ice cream. As you do. Not that I had much. DS9 6.26, end of season six. And All. The. Rain. today!!!

Thursday.  September 11.  Remember always.  Slept reasonably well. Lost 2kg overnight. Even felt a little hungry. Not so great during the morning though. Low level nausea all day, but didn't want to take the anti-nausea pills cause I don't want all my guts to stop moving.. hmmm.. Did some doco at work and helped look at a mail problem with Neil. Leftovers for dinner, DS9 7.1. 19:36 is bed time right?

Friday.  1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  I remember Joe Wiltshire once theorising that the tone of this passage is not the lovey-dovey tone you get at weddings but more like a dressing down.

Woke up around 4 needing to pee but also hungry, go figure. Then at 6:30 was hungry again, actually wanting breakfast. Go figure. Off to TCH for nuking prep. Home at lunch time. Feeling like crap although did stay online at work for the afternoon and got a few bits and pieces done. Zombie evening. Kievs for dinner. Oddly even though I don't feel like eating I feel a bit better when I do. Been having mostly "soft" food though.  DS9 7.2 then lots of watching of Anti-Chef.

Saturday.  Felt like utter trash all day, especially in the morning. Pretty much just watched Anti-Chef all day.

Made this lazy-ass mac and cheese for lunch - half a cup of water, boil half a cup of small macaroni for five minutes, then add a dollop of cream and a handful of shredded cheese at the end and melt.  I got Stu to taste it (since I can't judge anything at the moment) and he said it was decent enough.  

The sweetie dragged me out for a walk in the late afternoon which was probably good for my guts.

Dumpling Inn for dinner (even though I didn't really feel like eating I still ended up eating too much, whoops).

DS9 7.3 then the last episode of Tokyo Trial.

Sunday.  Quiet day. Felt a little better. Did some photo stuff and some Dotz.

Sunday.  31st.  Baked a cake! Two cakes actually. A coconut cake done properly (in the oven!) and a plain vanilla butter cake from the Australian Women's Weekly Birthday Cake Book. Stu didn't want a numbered cake, but I decided I needed to practise cooking cakes (I never do it) so that one day I can make numbered cakes. And everything else. Used the top element only, which apparently doesn't work very well for baking cakes. The coconut cake was hot and crispy on top, but still soggy on the bottom (done in a silicone mould). The butter cake fared better because it was in a metal tin so the heat transferred better. It was a good experiment for testing out the oven, but next time I think I'll go back to my regular mode of rear element with fan (or at least top element with fan). I also may have made a batch of vanilla cream icing. With some very very very very old icing mixture. It had turned into little balls of hard icing sugar which needed persuading to go through the sifter. Dinner was pizzas, because, the sweetie. And birthday calories don't count right? DS9 6.17.

Monday.  1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 

All. The. Crap. kind of a day. Leftovers for dinner I think. DS9 6.18.

Tuesday.  Rinse and repeat of Monday. Had a bit of a tootle on the saxophone. Cooked up a batch of brussels sprouts and bacon and a cauliflower and pasta bake for dinner. DS9 6.19.

Wednesday.  Rinse and repeat of Monday and Tuesday. Including saxophone. And leftovers of above. DS9 6.20 which was a lot of fun.

Thursday.  Did some work on prod DC migration stuff. No time for tootling though because I wanted to label some photos. Pizzas and garlic bread for dinner. DS9 6.21 and more labelling.

Friday.  Bits and pieces day. Tried to replicate a problem with our virtual environment but couldn't do it. I did manage to copy paste 12 groups with the APIs in a few minutes that would have taken hours to do manually. Did my Saturday morning routine after work so my Saturday would be more freed up. Kievs for dinner, DS9 6.22, Tokyo Trial #3.

Saturday.  Somewhat restless sleep. Even though I did a lot of my Saturday routine last night, I still ended up doing a whole bunch of housework today. Other bits and pieces too. Luv-a-duck, zucchini and leftover pasta bake for dinner. Then watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which I'd never seen before.

This turd has been taught to eat the house by its turd parents

Sunday.  Slept okish I think. Another day of just trying to Get Things Done.

Sunday.  24th.  Cooked up some fish that Stu bought with a creamy lemon sauce, with some leftover veggies and some frozen veggies.

I've also been eating some lime jelly that I made up with some half price jelly from Chris's.

DS9 6.10.  We might have had a craving for coconut cake.  It would have taken nearly an hour to do it in the oven, so we tried David's method of doing it in the microwave.  It was ok, but hard in places and soggy in others.  Do not recommend.

Very tired.

Monday.  Slept okish maybe. Still feeling blah. I'm kinda over this crap. Another couple of days of blah for this cycle then only one to go at least.

Put on some brisket at lunch and roasted a bunch of veggies (cauliflower bake and brussels sprouts) and some garlic bread because I can actually still taste garlic.

DS9 6.11 then continued watching Anti-Chef from the beginning (up to video 10).

Also. A red-back spider took up residence in our letter box WTF?? All the nope. Normally I will evict spiders but this one didn't want to be caught and there's no way I'm going to keep sticking my hand in a letterbox with a venomous spider there. So she got spray-and-wiped.  Sorry.

Tuesday.  Felt somewhat better today. Back to DC migration stuff and helping Neil cut over to new mail servers. Cooked up the rest of the fish with some leftover veggies for dinner then DS9 6.12. More Ferengi dumbness.

Wednesday.  Felt normal enough to have food for breakfast today (in the first week I don't feel like much, usually will just have some milk). Spent way too long looking at a login problem that we should have been able to figure out and fix earlier hrmmm.

Stumpy gave me "the look" at one point today - the look that says, aight I'm done with my winter fast, give me food.  

Europe photo labelling and Jamie Anti-Chef watching. Leftover brisket and veggies for dinner then DS9 6.13 which was kinda fun seeing what everyone looks like normally.

Thursday.  Woke up at like 2:30 for ages. Continuing to feel a bit better. Bit of DC work and dealing with crap.

Managed to label a day of photos. Pizzas for dinner (must be Thursday!)

Then DS9 6.14 which reminded me of the old Lost in Space episode where they go inside the giant robot (Trip Through the Robot - I only ever saw a couple of episodes of this show like ever, but happened to see that one twice).

Friday.  Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.  I remember having to learn that once when I was younger.  

Slept a little better. Got a bunch of my DC work done but also a bunch of XL's work and dealing with crap. Just missed getting hailed on getting supplies from Chris's.

Had a fake beer. Just doesn't cut it. Kievs for dinner then DS9 6.15. 

Went over to see Annie and the family after dinner so that was a nice catchup.  Mila was in town too which was nice.

Saturday.  Slept okish. Bit of Lego. Also got my brand-new-second-hand saxomaphone back all clean and shiny. So it seems low D/C notes are super tricky on a saxophone. But higher notes are a lot easier.

Leftover brisket for dinner then DS9 6.16 and Tokyo Trial episode 2.

Sunday.  Woke up at one point needing to pee, then didn't get back to sleep for ages. Mostly a Lego and photo and baking day.

Sunday.  17th.  Cooked up some creamy lemon and dill chicken with some curry powder cauliflower, brussels sprouts and bacon, and garlic for dinner. Yum yum.

DS9 6.3 then an early night.

Monday.  Slept okish. Spent much of the day working on a big rework of some rules so we can move some DCs from one environment to another. Cooked up some leftover beef with some cabbage, a shallot, garlic powder and all the beef juices. Nothing wrong with it, just not super spectacular, and the sweetie didn't go back for seconds heh.

DS9 6.4 then finished labelling Reformation Tour photos (up to day 17). Oh I noticed after patching this week everything on my task bar is just a bit smaller. No complaints from me, hopefully it means I can fit more on it before open windows scroll out of sight.

Tuesday.  Romans 8:8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death.

Poisoning round three.  Except this time they couldn't find a vein.  Tried four times on my right arm before giving up and going into my hand on my left.  Not ideal but at least they got there in the end. 

So that all took a lot longer to get through.  Ended up going straight to my doctor's appointment afterwards instead of going home first.  Had a little lie down with the sweetie when we got home, then it was time to cook dinner (cauliflower and broccoli bake, zucchini and capsicum with a bit of leftover lamb).

DS9 6.5 then bed.

Wednesday.  Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

Slept okish. Put on 1.7kg (mostly fluid I guess) overnight. Hurray. Nice quiet day, even made some Lego. Leftovers for dinner. DS9 6.6 which was pretty good.

Thursday.  Romans 9:15 For he says to Moses,
"I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."[f]

Okish sleep but not great. Back to work. Wanted to work on one thing. But All The People wanting All The Crap meant not getting anything done on it. After 16:30 to 18:00 had a good interrupted time on it though. Pizzas for dinner - one tomato, olive, spring onion and cheddar, and one pepperoni and blue cheese. Stu assures me they were good. I miss salt. 

DS9 6.7. 20:00 is bed time right?

Friday.  Romans 10:13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."[f]

Okish sleep, awake for chunks. Continued on the DC migration work.

Kievs and blue cheese cabbage bake for dinner (the sweetie ate most of it so must have been good!).

DS9 6.8. Earlyish night.

Saturday.  Okish sleep maybe. Feeling blah most of the day. Made a couple of sets of Lego. Labelled some Europe photos. That was about it.

Watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall in the afternoon cause didn't feel like anything much else, although did label Europe photos while doing that.  I hadn't noted seeing the movie in my blog, but it felt very familiar like maybe I had seen it.  Maybe it's just that cast, those movies are all the same (dumb).  The sweetie was feeling blah too, so we got Dumpling Inn (sadly they won't do duck pancakes for takeaway booo).

Shredded beef Peking style, Chinese broccoli, 3 cup wine chicken

DS9 6.9 then the first episode of Tokyo Trial - William Webb! ha!

Sunday.  Okish sleep maybe. Feeling blah most of the day. Made a set of Lego. Labelled some Europe photos. That was about it.  Went out with the sweetie and waited around for him to do the shopping.  The other day I watched something on YouTube about McDonald's apple pies no longer being a thing in a lot of the world.  We still have them though!  Winning!

Sunday.  27th.  Made up a potato bake from some of the potato I'd sliced up for the club but ran out of space to use on the night.

DS9 5.12. Watched John Oliver's take on AI Slop. Early night.

Monday.  Happy birthday Dad! Got a bit of cleaning done and a bunch of networking stuff done for Jim. Leftovers for dinner then DS9 5.13. Europe photo culling, started Black Mirror 7.5 (but ran out of time to finish before bed).

Tuesday.  

Acts 17: 31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead. .. God raised Jesus from the dead and will return to judge the world.

Went to bed pretty early, but then woke up at 4 for at least an hour. Poisoning day 2.

Quiet afternoon mostly doing jigsaw and made a potato bake with the last of the potato leftover from the club, and also some tomatoes that were very old and needed using, and the last two mini capsicums.

Also finished Eulogy on Black Mirror. DS9 5.14. Earlyish night.

Wednesday.  

Acts 19:4 Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus." 

Got to sleep ok but awake from 4:30 for a while. Quiet day. Leftovers for dinner, DS9 5.15. Earlyish night.

Thursday.

Acts 20:24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace... Good news everyone!  

Slept mostly ok. Bit of crap day, morning just disappeared, got to do some cleaning, but then sunk into a hole of trying to clean up a mess that's been festering for ages.

I've seen my birds once since last winter.  They still came to see me today.

Pizzas for dinner. Made a nice potato, blue cheese and rosemary pizza. Well Stu said it was nice. I can't tell anymore, salty stuff doesn't taste salty.

Olive oil base with some herbs and garlic powder, bit of pizza cheese, some slices of potato bake, blue cheese, spring onion, rosemary and a bit more cheese. 

I'll have to make it again when my sense of taste comes back...

DS9 5.16.

Far out I hate Apple. It's utter trash. I've missed a couple of calls from the mother type person this week.  She left messages that I played, and then I replied via SMS. But because Apple mixes up the home phone and mobile phone into the one thread, when I reply it disappears into the ether and she never gets my messages. So I've had to split out her contact into two so that the mobile is not related to the home phone. Why is Apple so bad??? Why why why???

Cranky and bloated. And the trashy dog abusing neighbour's dog is barking again. Those people should be banned from owning dogs.

Friday.  Slept okish. Mostly staring at a big mess all day. Found some stuff to delete late in the afternoon. Kievs for dinner. Black Mirror 7.6.

Saturday.  Slept okish. Very quiet slo-mo day. I did get out after lunch to see my birds and try and stimulate the bowels. Started my next Diamond Dotz picture. Dumpling Inn delivery for dinner.

Then watched Return of the Jedi.

Sunday.  Slept okish. Another fairly quiet day although did get a few things done.  OMFG windows *and* chrome have remembered my blog image folder settings!!!

Sunday.  20th.  Heated up some lamb I found in the freezer and had it with a potato/onion/feta bake, cauliflower/onion/spring onion bake, and brussels sprouts, bacon and hazelnuts. Yum yum yum. We both may have had seconds.

Then watched DS9 5.6 with tribbles which was a lot of fun. So I watched the original Trouble with Tribbles to see what they did to integrate the footage. Fun stuff! Ooo new season of Black Mirror! Watched 7.1. You just know that a subscription model isn't going to end well.. and adverts.. had to happen.

Monday.  

Acts 11:18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, "So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life." .. hurray for us Gentiles!

Slept mostly ok although did get woken up by my alarm which is rare. Decom work planning/writing up at work. Leftovers for dinner, DS9 5.7, photo culling, Black Mirror 7.2.

Tuesday.  Slept mostly ok but awake quite early. Deleting day!! Deleted heaps of crap which always makes me happy. Creamy cheesy mince with leftover for veggies, then DS9 5.8, photo culling, Black Mirror 7.3.

I have no notes from Wednesday to Friday.  It was that kind of week.  Distracted by my hair situation, long meetings, waiting on people for things, medical appointments.  Didn't get nearly as much done at work as I would have liked.  There would have been a few episodes of DS9 in there.  

Thursday I made cheesy vegemite scrolls for lunch - haven't had those in ages!

There was a nice sunrise on Friday

We may have also tried McGriddles.  For some reason they weren't as good as I remember them from Japan and Hong Kong.  Edit:  this is likely because I've lost a lot of my sense of taste at the moment.  Sigh.

Christmas in July prep started after work Friday (the sweetie did the shopping).  

I made the apple sauce, cooked all the sweet potato, and made a peppermint slice.

It's times like this I really miss the little brother...

And there may have been kievs and cauliflower bake for dinner

Saturday.  

Acts 16:31 They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household." .. interesting that all the household would be saved if one member is.. how would that work?

Finished prepping as much as I could (sliced All The Potato, made gravy, toasted pumpkin seeds, washed fruit, printed out All The Instructions) then headed out to the club.  When we go there the shed was full of people which was super stressful and annoying. Usually it's pretty much empty during the day. Turned on the oven then went through everything with Stu. Got the pork into the oven then really left the sweetie and a small team of helpers to do all the putting and taking of stuff in ovens.

I had mulled wine by the fire.

Apparently everything went fairly well.  Except the crackling.  I really should try pouring boiling water over to begin with...

I also made up the pavlovas and took them up

Sunday.  Didn't sleep very well.  Not too much to clean up, and not a vast amount of leftovers. Came home. Got clippered. Fiona came over for a while in afternoon which was nice.

Sunday.  6th.  Had all four stove elements going tonight cooking all the food.

I cooked up a bunch of mince/onion/garlic/bacon for use whenever. I also cooked some salmon, some broccolini, and a very nice sauce of double cream, 2 ice cubes of lemon juice, a bit of salt, pepper and a bunch of dill. Turned out quite well.

Then watched DS9 4.20.

Monday.  Slept mostly ok. Busy day of crap and meetings and not getting any time for cleaning. Redo of the salmon (with the other *huge* piece of salmon we got the other that I had to cut in two) with creamy lemon pepper and dill dressing, this time with cabbage and spring onions with kewpie sesame dressing. DS9 4.21.

Tuesday.  

Acts 5:30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead--whom you killed by hanging him on a cross. 31 God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins... as Peter and the apostles are being questioned by the high priest.  God did it.

Didn't get to sleep til after 3. Stoopid restless legs. Hurray. Off to ICON to get poisoned.

Feeling fine until after dinner when the guts started reacting. Hurray. The sweetie cooked sausages with a cabbage bake and brussels sprouts and bacon and hazelnuts. DS9 4.22.

Wednesday.  Got to sleep ok, but then awake from before 3 til after 5 hurray. Nice quiet day, catching up, getting crap under control, just taking it easy. The sweetie reheated the sausages and veggies with some extra tomatoes and shallots which was all very nice, then DS9 4.23.

Thursday.  Slept fairly well til around 4:30 then awake for at least an hour or so, but then some more sleep til 7:30. Hid out and did dev cleaning today which was nice. Pizzas for dinner then DS9 4.24 which was pretty tedious.

Friday.  Slept okish I think. Another cleaning day. Went and got hair chopped. Looks like a mop.  Tony brought us kebabs for lunch which was sweet of him. Kievs for dinner.

Death in Paradise 14.8 (end of season 14) and the end of the Bomb and the Cold War. Achy evening.

Saturday.  Slept okish I think. Achy day. Mostly jigsaw. The sweetie cooked up some mince and a bunch of veggies for dinner (including a blue cheese cauliflower bake) and we watched Star Wars (A New Hope).

Sunday.  Okish sleep. Achy day. Mostly jigsaw.

Sunday.  29th.  Dinner was leftovers I brought home from the club. DS9 4.18 then Lego Masters 7.9.

Monday.  Early night, but took ages to get to sleep then woke up at like 3:30 for ages. Did eventually get a bit more sleep but not much.

Spent the day staring at the rules in a dev environment that are a mishmash of several versions of things including imports of prod. It's a complete mess. I've been wanting to clean it up for literally seven years and finally had a good excuse because I need to do it to prep for a project that will require us to actually do real work in there (and I can't see anything in there at the moment). Andor 2.10 then Lego Masters 7.10 (semi final - a Harry Potter build which was a heap of fun!).

Tuesday. 

Acts 2:21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved... Originally from Joel 2:28-32. After the apostles receive the Holy Spirit.  Just a reminder.

Slept mostly ok. Definitely had energy this morning more so than other mornings recently. Had my morning routine done by like 7:40 instead of after 8. Not quite the whole day cleaning up dev (too many people wanting things) but I did delete nearly 1360 policies that weren't in use - winning!!

It was perfect soup weather on Tuesday

Cooked a tuna bake (forgot the dill) with brussels sprouts and broccolini for dinner.

Andor 2.11. The second half of this series has definitely picked up quite a bit, I'm enjoying it a lot more. Then it was sorting out Mum's photos, removing some duplicates and getting a "definitive" version for picking later.

Wednesday.  

Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out .. after God heals a lame man through Peter, and Peter is telling the onlookers about Jesus.  What he said.

Slept mostly ok. Deleted more crap today. Went into the city after work to get a filter for a new lens I'm hoping to get because Ted's said it wouldn't be available til like September. Turns out it was the lens not available not the filter.. which makes more sense but FFS now I have two filters and no lens. Sigh.

Leftovers for dinner. Andor 2.12 (season finale) then Lego Grand Masters of the Galaxy 7.11 (season finale). **spoilers** .. I reckon Trent and Alex's build was totally win-worthy, but obviously Brickman preferred the art of Henry and Cade's.

Thursday.  Slept okish. More deleting crap and tidying and documenting what's left in the dev environment I'm working on.

Good Games vending machine!! 

Good drinks although not many people. Pizzas then DS9 4.19 then the Bomb and the Cold War episode 8. Before it started I was telling Stu that I'd really like to watch a documentary on some thing I was thinking about.. but we started watching the show and forgot about it. And then for the life of me I couldn't remember what it was that we were talking about. And neither could Stu. All we could remember was it was some engineering thing, because I remember telling him that I liked engineering stuff like dams, bridges and towers, but I never could have been an engineer cause I'm dumb and no good at advanced maths. Oh well.

Friday.  

Acts 4:12 - Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved .. Peter talking about Jesus to the High Priest, elders and the teachers of the law in Jerusalem after he was arrested for talking about the resurrection.

Slept relatively ok. Did a bit of tidying/documenting but not as much as I'd have liked. Found this video by Kurzgesagt quite depressing.  Chris didn't have Kievs so we had some chicken pieces but they were a bit too spicy for me. I did make a nice dipping sauce of yoghurt, garlic powder, lemon juice and dill though.

Death in Paradise 14.7 then Flying High because I needed something light.

Saturday.  Awake from like 1:30 til after 5 or so. Stressing about All The Things. Hurray. Surprisingly unzombielike though. Mostly Lego filing all day. Annie came over for a while in the afternoon which was nice and she brought some nice peanut butter and choc chip cookies she made. Dumpling Inn for dinner then we watched Rogue One, which worked well after just finishing Andor.

Sunday. 

Acts 4:32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.... oof yeah that doesn't happen much anymore!

Slept through til ~4 before waking up and never getting back to sleep. Stressing about All The Things. Got some stuff done during the day but not nearly enough.

Food shopping in the afternoon.
