        If it makes you feel any better I only found out Gibson was a she when I took her to the vet the first time lol

        I had her when she literally fit in my hand and she’s also my first pet so was a bit clueless hahaha

    There are nice people in the world. Got home, it was bin night yesterday and so I went to collect my bins which were half full of water from the rain. The tradies who are renovating the house next door saw me struggling with the big recycling bin and swooped in and emptied it out and put it away for me. And the other bin too. I feel blessed.

    Day 4 of sickness, still a snotty horrible mess. Used tissues all over the place. Forcing myself to do some work as to-do list is piling up and no sick leave and all. But my brain says migrate to the couch and watch TV all day.

    Edit - the tissues are now in the bin, that’s better.

      I stayed in bed late, hiding from the raging winds and rain outside. Current feels like temp is -3.1o (although the actual temp has made it all the way up to 8o). This is probably heading your way, so you might want to brace yourself.

          Full replacement, but I used light coconut milk. Don’t think it would have worked full with regular. It’s delicious.

            I might have to try that sometime with my rice cooker though recently I got the water ratio wrong.

            Do you use the same amount of coconut milk as you would water?

              Yeah the same amount of liquid, I had enough to fill the amount I was cooking. Light is watered down already, for regular I’d use maybe 1/3 water.

        There’s a delightfully unhinged novel called A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka that I think you would enjoy very much. If you haven’t found it already that is. A best seller in its day and stands the test of time. Does not noticeably contain tractors.

      ☹️ rest up. I think 9/10 of my sickies are due to shit sleep and not feeling up for it. Hits hard after your 30

      I was waking up every few hours (kind of unusual for me) and falling back asleep. Managed to get about 7.5 in total, and feeling okayish.

      Shit night for many people it seems.

        If I’d gotten up at normal wakey time, I was looking at a little under 5 hours sleep. Stupid 4am brain going “but what about THIS?!”

        I do like them all but this time maybe the peanut & caramel brittle or hazella or both.
