    Tried out a new cafe near my place, Miniest has been bugging me about wanting to try it out for a while. Was unfortunately overpriced and a bit meh. Did some cooking, mostly homemade pizza and stuffed capsicums, which Mr P swooned over (he was drunk so it doesn’t really count lol). Made an assault on Mount Washmore. Left it on the line when I should have brought it in tonight because sheer laziness.

    After I got the weird Manscaped popup on Domino’s last night, I left them feedback when they asked. I thought this feedback would go to corporate, so I wasn’t particularly nice when I left it. Apparently it went to the store manager. Oof

    spoiler

    I wasn’t super rude about it, like not abusive or anything like that, but ruder than I ever would be to any of the store people, even if it was their doing (which it isn’t)

    Ow my arm. Not feeling too much from the vaccines except for the arm pain and a bit of aching. Had a mild headache last night too. Overall very mild but I’m still using it as an excuse to flop about and do nothing all day.

    My package didn’t arrive Friday so now I have to wait until monday. It’s torture and unfair. I want my shiny new device darn it. My brain demands TREATS.

    World Rainforest Day

    World: from Proto-Germanic *weraldi-, a compound of *wer “man” (Old English wer, still in werewolf; see virile) + *ald “age” (from PIE root *al- (2) “to grow, nourish”).

    Rainforest: apparently a loan-translation of German Regenwald, coined by A.F.W. Schimper for his 1898 work "Pflanzengeographie

    Day: Old English dæg “period during which the sun is above the horizon,” also “lifetime, definite time of existence,” from Proto-Germanic *dages- “day” (source also of Old Saxon, Middle Dutch, Dutch dag, Old Frisian di, dei, Old High German tag, German Tag, Old Norse dagr, Gothic dags), according to Watkins, from PIE root *agh- “a day.” He adds that the Germanic initial d- is “of obscure origin.” But Boutkan says it is from PIE root *dhegh- “to burn” (see fever). Not considered to be related to Latin dies (which is from PIE root *dyeu- “to shine”).

      It’s hard to believe that they have any bones at all.

      If I tried to sleep like the cat does, I’d end up with backache for the next century.

    Depressing weather. Have the fire going to get the washing dry. Discovered my shower is going mouldy. What is it with grout and silicon that we haven’t mould proofed it yet?

      It’s gloriously sunny where I am right now and has been for a while. Woke up at 9am and indulged in some YouTube silliness in bed until 10:45 but pushing out the laundry quick smart now. Dont think everything will finish washing in time but I think some of it can dry over tomorrow as well. I have so much cleaning to do, might as well be when it’s sunny to help lift my mood.

    Don’t tell my kids, but I don’t really want to get up at 7:30 on a Saturday to go and watch them play hockey. I’m tired, it’s cold, wet and I’m not really having fun.

    I might be getting my first new computer in 14 years later today, so I have something to look forward to.

    Spent this morning redoing my resume, and have now sent two applications with cover letters. I think that will do for today. Main part was ending the procrastination and actually sending out some applications. Feeling accomplished

      Good onya, that’s not an easy thing to push through, but it feels so good once the initial inertia has been shoved out of the way. I need some of that energy with my chores today! Here’s hoping your efforts are rewarded with a better job very soon :)

        My gonads have recessed and are shrivelled by the cool water of the plunge but they’ll drop back down with my voice, once I’ve earned it
