    Yeah so here’s a piece of advice:

    Dont increase your protein intake to the point where it accidentally becomes your only fuel source.

    Ask me how I know :(

    Got some good news regarding my car but there’s still a month for which the rug could be pulled. Crossing fingers and toes!! Here’s to another month with Moaning Myrtle and then a new red zoomie car.

    mental health and sleep

    My sleep has been fragmented ever since Saturday’s meeting. I’m trying not to read into it too much and not beat myself up for being silly after one date. It’s really easy for me to feel something off in my body and wonder if it means something is wrong. Of course my brain is catastrophising, telling me that I’m in a lose-lose situation that’s going to end badly and I should run before I get hurt. I might actually go for a run today. It’s about time I start, it’s been a goal for ages.

    I spent a lot of time in the past ignoring when my body telling me something was off. I think I’m scared of doing that again. Just because I feel a certain way, doesn’t mean things are that way.

      That sucks. Sounds really stressful. Was there anything that stood out as making you feel uneasy?

      Good friends or a therapist could be useful here or even a journal can help see any patterns of behaviour.

        There wasn’t really anything in particular that made me feel uneasy, but my body is just having this visceral reaction. I think it’s the uncertainty and the expectations I’ve subconsciously placed on the situation. I think I might get in touch with my therapist again. Or at least visit the GP to get a mental health care plan for a different one. Don’t want to have to go through the whole thing of having to introduce myself again and go through the formulation process but if that’s what it takes…

    Kiss from a rose is a normal song, but it’s so weird how it git included in the Batman Forever soundtrack. The music video is Seal walking around a rooftop in an open shirt with the bat signal behind it.

    I need to do some reading if there’s anything out there about it, because why is it a batman song?

      Seal was in line to play a villain in the movie, but the writers/directors/producers couldn’t find a way to fit him into it. Since he had a contract, the parties agreed that one of his songs would be the main feature on the soundtrack. He had the song recorded for another album, but this would have given him more exposure. So they shot the video as Batman themed, and I’m completely making this shit up.

    2032 Brisbane Olympic venue for rowing is apparently going to be the Fitzroy River. Which is full of crocodiles. Should guarantee some new world speed records.

    Still wrecked. All that’s different is that I had a couple of hard gym sessions Friday and Saturday.

    Went for a walk around the block this morning to feed the cats and by the time I got back I was fucked.

    Annoying.

      Check yo iron levels. They’ve been repurposing that mountain of covid casettes for things like FE tests and fun stuff so you can get a basic normal / abnormal test at the chemist cheap as

          I did one for shits since my mother’s family tends to either chronically low iron, or haemochromatosis (usually along gender lines) and I was curious.

          friggin’ thing could not detect any iron in my blood lol

    It’s time to throw out my frypan. Shit went down hill when YL tried to recreate a butter chicken dish using frozen crumbed chicken tenders. It hasn’t been the same since.

      Don’t touch hexclad. I made that mistake and ditched the pan after just a couple of uses. EVERYTHING sticks to it and it’s a bugger to clean. Don’t believe the advertising.

        Coles have a promo right now. I looked at the frypan and it looks alright to me. I believe it’s Kitchenaid.

        I look for 3 things. Light weight, easy to clean and non stick.

          Welp, wouldn’t recommend you Solidteknics, but I love mine. Heavy and similar to looking after cast iron. And not cheap upfront. Hoping they’ll outlast me tho.

            Yeah I don’t get attached to frypans.

            I have 27 year old Acrosteel pots that are still going strong. The only way I’ll get rid of them is if I upgrade to induction.

      For non-stick I have a tefal one and a esteele one. The esteele I like much better. When the tefal carks it I’ll replace with esteele. More expensive but they regularly go on sale at Myer or DJs.

          I reckon they’re about the same non-stickness, but the esteele has thicker base and heats more evenly, and holds the heat better. The non stick coating seems more robust. Can’t say about durability, I have had it only a couple of years but so far is holding up very well.
