    Brisk repointing (well, gouging out the old shit) noises occurring under dining room floorboards. Felines are intrigued.

    I tried the Cerave tub. It was… fine? A bit mediocre.

    Barely noticeable sting which is probably my barrier being compromised. A tiny bit more emollient than the tube, but it’s still very thick and dry. I put on one heaped fingerful and then another trying to get it to moisturise as even a lot doesn’t go very far.

    It kind of disappeared leaving a thin waxy residue behind which felt a little stiff and uncomfortable. It feels like you need something more hydrating underneath and this would seal it in.

    Honestly I rate the Vaseline Dry Skin Rescue body lotion higher and it’s more economical but my skin suddenly started stinging and breaking out from that when it hadn’t before. (Same bottle.)

    That’s some weird weather out there. Windy and warm?

    Don’t look at Tuesday and Wednesday though. Wednesday in particular… 11C maximum… big weather system coming in from the west. Ughggh but if it means rain in areas that desperately need it I’ll tolerate it

      I’m looking after a friend’s place in the Yarra Valley for a few days, it’s looking even colder and wetter. I will be parked by the fireplace Tuesday and Wednesday.

        My current shitbox is so tiny I’d rather not work from home unless I had to. Now if I had a fireplace,… sigh.

        Luckily the office is very close by, so if they could kindly give me some indoor work to do on the Wednesday I’ll be grateful. I really wish I was on a flight to somewhere warmer though…

          Surely you can petition for an office day when the weather is shit?

          I’ve done that in the past with some verbal bullshit.

            Probably can, it’s tricky this week with my unavailability on other days due to this thesis BS and sometimes jobs require us to be out on specific days. It’s my last week with these shenanigans though so I’m sure we can work something out. If not, I’m chucking a sickie lmao.

    I voted in the Triple J Hottest 100 Australian Songs of all time. It’s very Triple J coded with the songs you can vote on, I had to manually add Shit on the Liver by King Parrot. One of the greatest Australian songs and music videos of all time.

    This cold is treating me very badly - the congestion is not terrible but the brain fog is. I just did an online grocery delivery order and trying to make decisions was very hard.

    I think I’ll take the next two night shifts off and try working again next week. I really need to get the energy to take the washing off the line that’s been there a couple of days already - at least it should be dry if it hasn’t blown away. I might try to wash some towels too.

      Go to the pharmacy and ask for the Pseudo cold and flu tablets. They make a real difference and are much better than the off the shelf varieties

    CD review. George Michael Older.

    this music irritates me

    the 60s Brasilian style backing music sounds like a Hammond organ , which might not be a bad thing

    except Michael just doesn’t have the rhythm or voice or skill for it, so it sounds bad

    it’s discordant

    I’ve been researching smart watches and they all say the best position for accurate readings is above your wrist bone. I tried it and it felt so wrong. I can’t do it. I’ve gone back to wearing it on my wrist bone.

    45 minute combative meeting across from someone with bad breath. Oy joy. I wasn’t involved in the combative-ness, but as a people pleaser it was awful.
