I've had my garmin watch for over a month now and I had to take it off because I developed welts on my wrist like I'd been attacked by a iced vovo. They weren't burns or itchy. It wasn't tight or anything. I don't wear it in the shower or get it wet. Very odd. So I've cleaned it and I've just put it back on. Maybe I should have cleaned it before I started wearing it the first time. Anyway time to watch and wait. (Puns intended)
Bought my cat biscuits meant for sensitive stomachs and skin, the same brand as he has had before and within 10 minutes he vomited them up. I think he ate too fast but the irony is not lost on me.
It's like that children's book Walter the Farting Dog, where the low-fart dog biscuits just made him fart more.
~~My~~ my 4yo's favourite book at the moment.
One of my (late) birthday presents from my partner is a shirt from the brand Foxblood, and it's a long shirt (which is great because i won't accidentally show my stomach while walking) but the sleeves have these sort of thumb holes, so I can feel like the true emo 13 y/o wanted to be.
Here's the shirt for those curious (if you want to get it locally, I order from Bezerk, I say locally, they're based on QLD, so not so locally but within Australia).
My dessert!

Thank god for a later start to the work day today.
Helped ease through having to wake up early again though I felt like I hardly slept last night because of very active dreams or thoughts.
Hopefully we can end today with an early finish as well and get home early.
Also been super heated here too then it got too hot and they had to let it cool down but now it’s to cold. Bleh!
Eggs on toast for lunch. Sticking it to the cafe yesterday for asking for 3 bucks for an egg (yes not plural) to be added to my brekkie but I guess that's the going price but also wtf.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. They need to drop Warner. Good game England but it's not over yet.
Yeah. I think time to drop Warner. I agree.
Good game still. Hope we can do it on Day 4.
Even if they made the last catch it still wouldn’t have been enough.
Some of you may remember I do lunch notes for my kids. May have chosen a slightly involved theme this week...

An easy one, but the messed-up scale of the neighbouring countries is offputting.
Project Upscale progress - 113/550. Seems worth it in terms of quality. I'm just using Upscyl (FOSS option) for this first try, and it's doing the job so far, quite happy with the results.
Also, coming across some things I'd forgotten about -
throwback to when I got to do something cool at work - nb. image not upscaled though
So this is what I have decided. I have moved the watch to the bony part of my wrist. It's not tight. I can still get a finger in there. When it needs to be charged I will give it a clean also. I'm giving it one more chance before I swap the band over. I have already selected the band I want. It better behave.
My goldfish are like aquatic chickens and when I plant weed for them they dig it up in a couple of days. I’ve just spent a stupid amount of time tying bunches of weed to rocks. Let’s see ya dig that up, ratbags
Reading the "specials" on supermarket junk mail is fucked. Products are not a good deal at all anymore, even when on special.
The half price app has the same shit every week.
Watched the movie Don’t Worry Darling. Was expecting a total B grade flop based on the reviews, but it was not that bad. Story was slow to get started, but the costumes and sets were very good, and the twist was a good one. It’s no Oscar winner but I’ve seen plenty worse movies.
Got the lettering and the bottom part of the border done with the cross-stitch project.
Still feeling a little flat after the extraction so I think I'll stay in and have a good solid go to finish it.
