Kazza the Blank One

Sunday.  16th.  After blogging we had leftover lamb I dug out of the freezer and cabbage.  DS9 1.16 then finished Stranger Things season 1.  

Extra Hard Rated!

Monday.  Slept mostly ok. 

Had to stake the capsicum plant because it was falling over underneath its own weight

NEIL at work.  Spent some time deleting old spam addresses that Neil put in, but aren't in use anymore.  DS9 1.17 - Lwaxana Troi! heh.  Then watched Labyrinth - 35 years to the day that I first watched it.  Oh, and was going through Adelaide photos and found the ones of the odometer on the car - we did 106km on it.. and put a whole $6 worth of petrol in it.  !!

Tuesday.  Took ages to get to sleep - was actually cold!  NEIL again at work.  They're talking about doing some fundamental changes to the way we do things with mail.  May or may not be a bad thing.  Finished off the last of the pulled pork from the freezer with some cabbage.  DS9 1.14.  Had to do some stuff for oncall.  Tried to find where I took a photo in like 2010.  The mother called for an hour.  Then it was bed time.  Annoyingly I've been feeling a day out all week - like Tuesday felt like Wednesday.

Wednesday.  Took a little while to get to sleep.  NEIL again.  But also so fricken busy with All The People wanting All The Things.  Also found out I'd split my jeans right across my butt.  Hurray.  Wonder if anyone noticed.  Stu had had a day, so we had KFC for dinner.  hmmm.  The mother messaged.  She'd had a fall (probably fainted from her heart condition) and broken her collar bone.  !!

Thursday.  Had just gone to bed when got an alert.  So had to get back up again to check it out.  Everything seemed fine and even Jim didn't know what it alerted.  But it was like midnight before I got to sleep.  NEIL again, and another busy day of All The Things.  Deleted lots of spam list entries.  After drinks was trivia night.  Except it was ANOTHER one of THOSE trivia nights.  Where there were so many words on the slides that they went so low as to not be readable.  Where they read through the questions so damned fast I literally couldn't keep up with writing answers.  Where they asked questions about work that even people that worked there wouldn't know, let alone friends and family.  Where questions had an answer, with bonus points for fleshing out the answer, never mind that they didn't consider all possibilities so their answers were actually wrong.  Where answers were in fact wrong (we Googled afterwards).  Where they didn't mark things centrally, but got us to mark each others, which meant all the nonsense with the multipart and incorrect answers made it impossible to score properly.  I delegated marking because it would have made me too angry otherwise.  So, me being me, I started complaining loudly.  I could hear myself doing it and knew I should stop, but I just couldn't.  DC threatened to leave at one point.  Hell *I* almost left at one point.  Things did pick up a bit after the first couple of rounds and it did get more fun.  We were even winning at one point.  Ended up coming equal third, two points behind the winner.

Friday.  Awake for several hours in the middle of the night.  Partly stressing about the fact I'm such a Karen.  Sigh.  I should probably not go to trivia nights anymore - they bring out the worst in me.  NEIL again, but hardly anyone bothered me most of the day, so had quite a peaceful day Getting Things Done.  Got a dump of all the domains we'd had email from in the past six months, and used that to cross reference addresses in our spam lists.  Anything not used in the past six months could be deleted.  Also wrote up a change to do more mail policy rearranging next week.  Sorry Neil! ;)  Pizzas for dinner since we didn't get them last night.  Tried to watch DS9 but it was like double zoomed in - worse than even pan and scan that we had to watch Mash in.  It was literally unwatchable.  So watched Death in Paradise 14.3.

Saturday.  Early night and slept well hurray! 

House stuff mostly, and some tagging of travel photos in Picasa.  Quicker to find photos of Mum that way - software does all the hard work.  Cooked an epic feast for dinner - creamy lemon pepper dill chicken, cauliflower blue cheese bake, brussels sprouts with bacon and hazelnuts, capsicum and garlic.

Stu had a fiddle with Amazon Prime on the Chromecast, but it was still doubly zoomed in and he couldn't figure out how to change it.  After Googling he found it's just a "thing" that Amazon Prime does.  So we watched DS9 1.20 on Netflix.  Screw you Jeff.  Then watched Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, so slightly late night.

Sunday.  Awake from before 2 til after 4.  Sigh.  Not too zombie though.  Mostly photo tagging/picking.  While David was here last week we discussed our backup strategies for our phones.  Lately I've only been backing up MOV files using iMazing.  It will download the HDR versions from the phone.  Since I first started using iMazing they've (dunno who) made it so the HDR videos will play *ok* on Windows, not completely washed out like they used to.  But they're still a bit over exposed.  So tonight I decided to try and grab them again in Windows.  Some time in the last year or so Apple has stopped messing with the timestamps on the files that it presents to windows, so all the timestamps are correct which is nice.  I guess enough people complained about it.  So grabbing everything I've still got on this phone.

But I am still PISSED that Windoze resets the sort order and view settings on my folders EVERY DAMEND TIME IT REBOOTS.  #hate #grunt

I got this email during the week from Google about the Chromecast issue.  What cracked me up is that Gmail thought it was spam!!! bwahahaah

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.  

Was reading a r/pettyrevenge story about someone that changed the Solitaire icon to their work app, and was reminded of the time my brother and I changed the default beep on the family's windoze computer to Yosemite Sam screaming Noo that's not it! Try it again!.  My brother and I got years of laughs out of that!

Back in 2020 I used Picasa to do a face slideshow for Ryan's 21st.  

Afterwards I put that install aside and used it on my old computer to tag work people.  This worked really well and I tagged the faces in thousands of photos.

But I never got around to migrating the install to my new computer.  I still had the database directories backed up, just had never used them.

The problem with Picasa is that it's only setup to run one database per user.  But I don't want the several hundred people in my work database mixed up with people in my friends and family directories.

So recently I fired up Picasa on my new computer.  Because I hadn't run it before (as a bonus you don't need to "install" it, you can just run it) it started a fresh database.  I pointed it at my family and friends folder and let it do its thing for a while.  Then I shut it down and moved aside the two Picasa folders in my user directory.  I copied across the work database folders and fired up Picasa again.  This worked beautifully and loaded straight into my work database.

So switching between Picasa databases is as simple is swapping out the two folders - 

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Google\Picasa2
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Google\Picasa2Albums

Apparently there's utilities out there that will swap them around for you.

And this dude even figured out you can just run Picasa as a different user, so the <user> directory will be different, but there's no fussing around moving directories around.

This is what I've currently got setup.  I've created a folder for each database I want to use, and move the Picasa2 and Picasa2Albums in and out.  You could keep these anywhere, but I keep them in the same place for convenience.  

If I could be bothered I could write a script to move them around automatically, but this will do for now.

It's such a shame Google is utter trash at maintaining support for their products.  Some of them were awesome (Google Reader, Chromecast come to mind).  They might fix Chromecast. 

To find Picasa nowadays you have to find it on old repositories.  I'd lay a flower on its grave if that page was still being maintained...

Edit 16.3.25.  I wrote a script. 
It's pretty trash, I'm very much a novice coder.  Sue me.  ;)
Also sorry about the lack of indents, the copy paste didn't work so well.

# A script to swap out Picasa3 database folders
# Kazza the Blank One, March 2025

#### Section 1 - Getting Started ####

# Set the Google Picasa local directory
$GoogleDir = "$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\Google"

# Define folder options
$PicasaFolderList = @{
"1" = "Work"
"2" = "Friends and Family"
"3" = "Church"
"4" = "Europe 2016"
}

# Check if Picasa is running first - we don't want to be moving folders around while it's running!
if (Get-Process Picasa3) {
write-host "Error: Picasa3 is running, exiting"
sleep 5 # So you can see the error message before it closes the window
exit
}
else {
write-host "Picasa3 is not running - this is a good thing! Don't worry about that scary error above!"
}

#### Section 2 - Select which folder you want to use ####

# This bit from https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/1cu8e62/multiple_choice_for_readhost_input/

# Display the list of folders to choose from
Write-Host "Enter the number for the folder you wish to select:"
foreach ($folder in ($PicasaFolderList.GetEnumerator() | Sort-Object Name)) {
Write-Host "[$($folder.Name)] $($folder.Value)"
}

# Prompt the user to enter the number of the folder
$folderNumber = Read-Host "Enter the number of the folder you wish to select"

# Get the selected folder based on the number entered by the user
$folderPath = $PicasaFolderList[$folderNumber]

# Check if the path was found
if (-not $folderPath) {
Write-Host "Path not found. Please enter a valid number. Exiting."
sleep 5 # So you can see the error message before it closes the window
exit
}

# Display the selected folder path
Write-Host "You selected $folderPath"

#### Section 3 - Check for preexisting runs ####

# Check to see if you've left folders lying around from a previous run of Picasa
# Assume that if any of the database folder directories are empty, then put the database folders back in them
# If none of those folders are empty, exit (haven't done code for that heh)

# Check for the existence of Picasa2 or Picasa2Albums folders
if ((Test-Path "$GoogleDir\Picasa2") -or (Test-Path "$GoogleDir\Picasa2Albums")) {
write-host "Picasa database directories exist, checking for an empty folder to move them to"

# Check the list of folders provided for an empty one. It'll stop after the first one and move the folders there.
foreach ($folder in ($PicasaFolderList.GetEnumerator() | Sort-Object Name)) {
$databasedir = "$GoogleDir\Picasa - $($folder.Value)"

# If a directory is empty we'll use that
if (-Not (Test-Path "$databasedir\*")) {
$emptydir = $databasedir
write-host "Found empty directory - $emptydir"
# Move the database folders to the empty directory
Move-Item -Path "$GoogleDir\Picasa2" -Destination $emptydir
Move-Item -Path "$GoogleDir\Picasa2Albums" -Destination $emptydir
# Wait five seconds to make sure the folders have moved
write-host "Waiting 5 seconds to make sure folders have moved"
sleep 5
# Stop after the first empty directory
continue
}
# You really should have some code here to exit out if none of the folders are empty.
# Although it doesn't matter too much, as the next check will fail out if the directories exist in the root
}
}

#### Section 4 - Move folders around ####

# Check again to make sure the folders are gone before moving things around
if ((Test-Path "$GoogleDir\Picasa2") -or (Test-Path "$GoogleDir\Picasa2Albums")) {
write-host "Error: Picasa database directories still exist, something has gone wrong, exiting"
sleep 5 # So you can see the error message before it closes the window
exit
}

# Set the full working directory path based on the user selected folder
# Note the "Picasa - " prefix on the directory names. The $folderPath should match your actual folder paths.
$databasedir = "$GoogleDir\Picasa - $folderPath"

# Check the database directories exist within the working directory, then move them
# yeah yeah you could probably do this with a try/catch, I never said my code was any good
if (Test-Path "$databasedir\Picasa2") {
Move-Item -Path "$databasedir\Picasa2" -Destination $GoogleDir
}
else { write-host "$databasedir\Picasa2 didn't exist, exit"; exit}

#### Section 5 - Start Picasa ####

# Launch Picasa
Start-Process "C:\PROGRAMMES\Graphics\Picasa3\Picasa3.exe"

The first time I made Lachie's Breakfast Lasagna was back in 2016!

Last month I did keto again, so made another couple of these.

But Lachie's recipe is slightly insane and makes way way way too much food.  And there's way way way too many eggs.

So I revised it a little and I would consider this my "final" recipe.

I used maybe 250g mince - you can add bacon/onion/mushrooms/garlic to it if you're being all fancy, otherwise just plain old mince will do.  Mix in a 250g block of cream cheese, and a little water to thin it slightly.  

Also very lightly scramble 4 or 5 eggs (it can be quite liquid as it will continue to cook in the oven).

I do half the mince mix, then a layer of ham

Then the eggs and the rest of the ham

Then the other half of the mince mix.  If you had more ham you could add it here, but I just used a small pack of Primo ham which only gave me two layers.

Top with lots of cheese

The bake for maybe about half an hour til all the cheese goes golden

I cut this into eight pieces and would have one piece per day.  It's very messy to microwave so make sure it's covered.  Lachie and Stu are happy to just eat it cold.

Saturday Kit and I went to the Milton Show.  She had a free ticket because she'd been doing an agility demonstration with Biscuit the day before.  Mine was $17.35.

It was a bit noisy and confronting at the start, because you walk into sideshow alley and showbag stands, and they had chainsaws going to chop up wood for the woodchopping demos.  So that was a bit stressful for all of us (we took Mr Floofy).  

Walked past all the bright coloured noisy things, and I went in to see the chookens.

Including this hilariously dyed one

There was a sculptor there selling big metal sculptures which were pretty cool.

We could hear them talking about a bullock train but the speaker was coming out nowhere near where they were.  Did see some off-duty brahman bulls though.

And I did get stopped by the reptile show.  The dude brought out all these venomous snakes which was pretty cool.  They were all very sluggish, I wonder if they keep them in a cool box so they're docile when they bring them out.

Common death adder

Tiger snake

Eastern brown snake

King brown snake

Baby salt water crocodile

We got to pat the baby saltie

Then saw the end of a motorcycle show

Wandered down to the Puzzle Art Australia tent which had a lot of very cool jigsaws.

Past a bunch of emergency vehicles.

Said hi to Kit's friends at the My Wife's Hot Sauce tent

Marvelled at all the Lego Minifigs.  I have a bunch of these!

Went into one of the pavilions and looked at all the flowers and veggies and cakes and craft and art which was pretty cool.

Then went down to watch the Milton Ulladulla Dog Training Club's demonstrations on obedience.

Then wandered out, past the bulls

Not a bad way to spend a couple of hours!

Friday. Finished up work a bit early on Friday and left around 17:45.  Had an ok run, although somewhat slow going down the Clyde due to a very slow Canberran not using the slow vehicle pullout bays and causing a very long bankup of cars behind them.  Saw the rocking horses this side of Nelligen in a few different places.  The Nelligen Pub was packed which was pretty cool.  It actually looked really nice with lights over the beer garden.  Bit of a tense drive up the highway once it got dark but made it without hitting anything.  Had a couple of drinks with Kit and Pete and chatted for a while which was nice.  Slightly late night but not too bad.

Saturday.  Slept relatively well.  It is So. Dark. there though.  I'm used to suburban light and our hallway nightlight flooding the house with light. 

Bit of a slow start waiting for everyone to get up and ready. Then had to decide on a plan of attack for the day.  In the end we decided to head up to Ulladulla for brunch.  Went to Ocean Vibes and I had a nice eggs benedict with bacon.

Then back to Kit and Pete's. 

Kit and I went off to the Milton Show, but I'll post that separately.

Got back and did animal stuff.

Kit still has a heap of guinea fowl and chickens, but no ducks or turkeys anymore.

Vicki is stubbornly refusing to die, but is definitely feeling her age.  They've still got Jasper the dachshund, and Biscuit and her two sons Oreo and Mr Floofy.

This is Toby, an old horse of Chloe's.  Kit still has Scout and Ricky as well.

Then had a quick shower and headed up to Mollymook to the Golf Club for dinner with Travis and Temika (no idea how to spell her name haha).

Kit and I shared some duck spring rolls (with barely a skerrick of duck) which were quite nice, and a Hawaiian schnitty which was pretty average.

Stu had some seafood by the sea

Then back to Kit and Pete's for a game of Kismet.  I actually got *two* Kismet's but could only count the first one of 3's, not the second one of 6's :)  Kit won in the end.

Sunday.  Hot and sweaty overnight.  Really need to bring a fan to their place in summer heh.

Biscuit in the middle with her two crumbs - Mr Floofy on the left and Oreo on the right

I waited for a while for everyone else to get up, and found some Lego to play with.  Didn't get time to build all three, just the chicken (or whatever it is), after pulling apart the unicorn. 

Also found there's three missing pieces.

Left around 10:00, via the Scottish Restaurant.

Got a photo of a couple of the Nelligen Rocking Horses

Then we listened to a very depressing talk that Cory Doctorow did recently on Enshittification.  Remember the Good Old Days when Google was actually GOOD??? Now it's been enshittified along with everything else on the internet (and even in the real world) and it makes me just want to be a hermit and get offline.

Also.  All. The. Teslas.  I started to look for them on the way back.  Must have passed literally dozens of the things...

Monday.  3rd.  You might be missing a few days.  They'll be over in my Australian Holidays blog soon.  Slept okish til about 5 then that was it for sleep.  Busy morning before work dong two loads of washing and trying to get organised from not having a weekend.  Spent much of the day trying to catch up with work, on account of missing three days last week.  Very nice salmon and salad for dinner.  DS9 1.9 then Dotz for a while - first time in ages I've had a chance.  Downloaded my photos from the weekend.  While I was away I let the phone set the time zone.  Everything was ok until right near the end when one of the photos jumped back to Canberra time zone, then back to Adelaide time for the next one.  This happened straight after I took photos in burst mode (by accident).  This is exactly what happened to me in America two years ago - when it would jump around time zones, mostly after taking non-standard photo types - like panoramas or videos or whatever.  So I turned off the auto-set time zone setting again, cause I don't trust Apple not to randomly change the time zone of my photos whenever it feels like it.

Tuesday.  Took a while to get to sleep.  Distracted day at work being NEIL.  Very nice eye fillet steak and salad for dinner.  Stu bought these steaks on the weekend which is unusual for him cause he rarely eats steak.  I let them rest for like an hour before I cooked them, and they turned out really well - tender and juicy and nicely pink in the middle.  Stu might be convinced to eat steak more often heh.

DS9 1.10.  Dumb episode.  Reminded me a bit of that movie Cube.  One of the lowest ranked according to ASTRA (Australian Star Trek Ratings Analysis - which has never been posted to the internet, it was only ever on Usenet back in the 90s).  

Wednesday.  Okish sleep.  It was nice and cool at least.  Slightly more productive day.  Stu cooked up a big batch of mince.  I cooked a cauliflower bake and All The Garlic.  

DS9 1.11.  The Grand Nagus' lips looked familiar.  They turned out to be Wallace Shawn's haha

Thursday.  Another distracted day.  Lunch at Lighty for Julian's farewell.

See if you can pick which ones were on the Canon and which on the iPhone..

Bruce's farewell at drinks, pizzas, DS9 1.12, bed.

Friday.  Early night.  Slept through til nearly 6 which was good.  Felt overwhelmed with my todo list and being away two weekends in a row.  hrmmm.  

Ever wondered what potato fruit looks like?

Sunday.  23rd.  Back dated.  Leftover pork and veggies for dinner.  Stu found a recipe on RecipeTinEats for crispy eggplant to try with Tony's other eggplant (since the other one went very slimy).  I tried and it actually worked, although if anything I set the oven to be *too* hot heh.  

Also All The Garlic!

DS9 1.3 with the Duras sisters, so afterwards I watched Star Trek: Generations.  Dumb movie.  The whole premise of it was dumb.  He got into the nexus the first time by being in ship that crossed into it, so why not just do that again.  

Monday.  Not super great sleep.  All the crap at work.  Looking at proxy procurement crap.  Started feeling a bit crap after work like I was having an immune reaction.  Finished up a little early and had a bit of a lie down.  No sleep of course.  Leftover veggies for dinner then DS9 1.4.

Also.  Ketosis!

Tuesday.  Slept fairly well, but feeling like I had a bit of a sore throat.  So went back to bed.  Rested all day, but no sleep.  Leftover blue cheese veggie bake and salad for dinner.  DS9 1.5 and Stranger Things 1.5.

Wednesday.  Took ages to get to sleep on account of being in bed all day, but did eventually sleep mostly ok.  Still feeling off and bit of a sore throat, so another day in bed.  May have had a meltdown at one point.  Also wondered if my achy neck was simply from lying down for two days.  hrmm. 

The currawongs were feasting on the Virginia creeper berries

Microwave pork crackle for lunch!

Leftover blue cheese veggie bake and salad for dinner.  I had in my notes DS9 1.5 and Stranger Things 1.5, but actually think it was 1.6 for both.  And somewhere around here watched DS9 1.7 but don't know when.

Thursday.  Don't think I had a sore throat anymore.  Either I was never actually sick and it was all in my head (entirely possible - during covid I was convinced I had a sore throat literally every time I went out in public), or I beat whatever it was.  Took a bus in for HBZ's farewell which was nice, but it was super hot.  Got home, had a shower, and just collapsed.  Pizzas for dinner, DS9 1.8, feeling unwell in my stomach.  Too much stress probably.

Friday.  Took til like 1am to get to sleep, then awake from like 5.  Sigh.  Busy morning, then stressed trying to get everything ready before I left...
