Have been lost in the land of KDramas, PoE2, family drama and the desire to doom scroll. Still think y'all are wonderful.

Now that was a sleep in!

I let Jason loose on the hallway and laundry today. I think I want to install some kind of holder thing in the laundry so that I have somewhere to put mops and brooms that isn't the floor, and maybe a shelf or something for replacement mop heads (there's no real storage in or near the laundry)

I can probably work out the broom mounts myself. Just a couple of screws into the stud seems easy enough. Not sure about the shelf though. In the meantime I'll just relocate an old bookshelf or something

Here's a cool etymology thing - Arctic means "bears", because you can see the Ursa constellations from the North Pole. And Antarctica (anti-arctic) means "no bears", you can't see the Ursa constellations there. It's coincidence I think, that the Arctic does in fact have Polar Bears, and Antarctica doesnt

Latin and Greek retained the original Proto-Indo European (PIE) root word for bear, "*rtko", in their words ursus and arktos, respectively. We use the word "bear" now to describe that species, and "bear" also comes from the PIE word *bher, meaning "bright/brown". It's theorised that hunters had a taboo on the "Ursa/arktos" name, and instead used euphemisms and nicknames to describe the animal.

Just thought that was neat :3

6 avocados to the bin. My day is ruined.

Dismantling the tree now. 🎄

Gon' get a pie for lunch

I've been doing an end of year review of my finances (which is a halfway through the financial year review) and unless I manage to pick up an overtime shift on Tuesday I am not quite going to meet my overtime goal. But I am way ahead on my savings/sales goal, managing to put aside close to my years's goal in just 6 months.

Actually, I just realised at some point I put the overtime goal up for some reason, I've just adjusted it back down a little and I am now magically back on track! yay me 🥳

God damn it. I thought I took chicken out for tea. I did not. Now to decide whether to try and thaw it in the microwave, or just eat something else

forgotted to take pastry out of freezer ,

Good morning friends

Bleh. I woke up late today!

TIL the song N.I.B. by Black Sabbath is titled that because of Bill Ward's goatee, which the band members thought was shaped like a pen nib.

Such a fun way to title a song.

buns, hot and crossed

We’re 6/91.

We could actually lose this one.

Is it just me, or were boxing Day sales cancelled this year? Went to the shops today for the regular weekly groceries, and it was pretty normal. No extra crowds, stores had regular looking signage and patrons.

I know it was Boxing Day +2, but still it would have been busy still on previous years.

I haven't seen any amazing deals go past my feeds online either.
