Ouch. Was clearing some stuff on the bottom shelf of the bookcase and it tilted forward enough that something fell off a higher shelf and whacked me right on the bridge of my glasses.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s bruised tomorrow.
Ow ow ow ow ouch. 😖

First day of work since I got the lurgie. Managed fairly well.
Fortunately it’s the quiet week.

And here’s the rain now.

I think the oven is on its way out.
Fortunately I still have the toaster oven if the worst comes to the worst. And I could always get an air fryer.

Just put a few things out now and have a couple of doona covers on soak as they’re quite discoloured.

I tried that with Topes, she still ended up with 3/4 of the bed :D

Freezing in the bedroom and I had some paper to burn, so I got up and lit a fire. The cats are very happy campers.
Thinking about some hot cross buns.

Tried to do the move details for my gas and electricity and had to phone AGL twice, the second time to actually have them do it since the system wouldn’t accept the info.
I need a drink.

Oh no. I’m so sorry, for what it’s worth.

Seem to have succumbed to whatever-it-is - I suspect a touch of the lurgie plus leftover exhaustion from the heat catching up.
Considering my work today would have likely been driving a 97 year old to do his shopping plus cleaning for a cancer patient who apparently is worse since I last saw her plus an immunocompromised father and daughter, it was definitely safer to stay home.

🤞🏻

Back from work. Thank God, only one job today.
Even that has me wiped.

My sympathies - smashed mine a few weeks back. Worked out it was about the same to buy a new one as replace the screen, so I now have a new phone.

Thought I was going to sleep in the loungeroom tonight, but can’t get comfortable enough on the cheapie couch/futon I bought as a stopgap.
Instead I’ve crawled onto bed with the little fan and a couple of the other windows open for extra air.
At least I don’t start work until midday tomorrow. Well, today.

Just put out a second load of washing. It should dry quickly in this heat.

Did my third water walk in a row this morning. Definitely feeling it - using muscles I haven’t used or used as much. I hope the weather allows a few more - just not this hot, thanks.
In other news, the heat seems to have fried drivers’ brains - someone nearly turned into me and I did have my lights on so it wasn’t a matter of the silver car being harder to see. And I nearly got clipped by a Pajero.
Boy am I looking forward to when I can just walk to the beach.

It was packed out in Parkdale when I arrived at about 7:20.

Actually slept well last night as I passed out from exhaustion and a couple of ALDI vodka coolers. Did my first water walk of the season and came back to find there’s a nice cool breeze so it’s actually better than yesterday.
At least the cats are revelling in the heat, though last night I was wishing I could pack us all up and go down to the new place. Alas not until May…

Finally got the motivation to tackle That Cupboard in the kitchen (you all know the one). Better half of two bin bags and a good half of the yellow bin later, plus a few things for the op shop pile and a few things I need to sort/see if they can be repaired etc.

Now time for a well earned drinkie and later, watch more of Mary and George.

I was going to wash some pillows but ended up cleaning out That Cupboard instead.

Could probably do it tomorrow.
