    Been trying to remember my password for the last few days, I’ve given up so new account.

    Found out I have asthma today and that’s the reason for my cough that just won’t let up. I didn’t know you could develop it as an adult? What a nice Christmas present.

      It could be due to bad asthma thunderstorms, which have been happening recently. Might want to get yourself a ventolin puffer just in case

        Doc prescribed me both a preventative puffer to take for the next couple weeks and the normal blue one. I just had the blue puffer earlier and I feel like I can breathe again! And barely any cough. I didn’t realise how constricted my breathing was until now.

        Hoping this is seasonal and will be gone once pollen season is over 🤞

          I hope so too, my cat has asthma attacks and allergies plus I’ve been having a bit of it as well.

          Wearing masks can apparently help filter out some of the pollen which helps. I’ve been keeping a door cracked (screen locked) for fresh air but may need to stop doing that. And will have to check if aircons pulling in pollen from outside is a myth

          Ah so they can ಠ_ಠ

    I have had to put the laptop away to stop myself going mad. The bot will be out of action for a while longer.

    They have changed the way logging in works (as many people have noticed) and all of the programming for daily posts use a piece of information that no longer exists ☹️

    Second last day of work (until next week) and bosses are trying to tie things up before they go on leave.

    My standard reply is “i’m here next week, so I’ll look at it then”, fully knowing they’re all off until mid Jan.

    I love end of year fuckery

    I’ll make a test batch of shortbread tonight using the new biscuit moulds and lightest blue icing on top. 😊

      Th mix is made and is good but was too soft for the moulds. In the fridge and then try again.

    Whoops. My catchup today ended up going from 10-2:45… Enjoyed it so so much though. I am so grateful I reconnected with the person I met today, after 3 years’ silence…

    Gonna be a long night doing this final piece of work!

    I created a new dessert. I didn’t have topping for my icecream so I melted biscoff spread in the microwave, drizzled it on the top followed by crumbed biscoff biscuits. It was a bit like a Golden Gaytime on steroids. And that is how I created a masterpiece.

    Well, some things never change.

    Stood around at JB trying to catch the eye/arm of anyone in a lanyard.

    10 minutes later I left and bought the same product in about 30 seconds. Granted it cost $10 more, but quite frankly my time is worth more than the $1 per minute that JB expected me to wait around.

      Did you demand to speak with the manager? 😁

      My JB protip is to go the games or TVs section, or gaming even. There’s usually staff there.

    Cleaned 2 coolrooms and various other odd places in the kitchen at work, including underneath freezers. Boss tested positive for Covid so Ive tested myself a couple of times out of sheer paranoia.

    Toilet paper has finally been delivered. Now I have a large box of toilet paper, plus 2x boxes of tissues boxes and 2x boxes of kitchen towel rolls 😂. Elder’s school books arrived at the post office, that was quick. Went to Richmond to pick up new pre-owned refurbished laptop and it looks fantastic! Soooo happy. Just need a couple more small things to pad out some Xmas presents and I am done. Oh, and I’ve got to get a chicken to roast for Christmas. Tomorrow is the last day of work, and I want to sleep for a week afterwards!
