It sure is the day for winning! I was a bit of a brain dead zombie at work but managed to still get 7.5 hours of work done and had a nice glug of the fancy umeshu and now I'm safely ensconced at home. I DON'T NEED TO THINK ABOUT ANYTHING! It's a good old regular Friday blob out but this time I feel like I've really deserved it.

I think I'm going to start watching Murderbot.

I don't have much in terms of a super yummy dinner at home tonight but that's all good because I'm going to my aunts house to help out once again tomorrow, and this time I've guilt tripped her into making heaps of yummy food, the leftovers of which I know she will insist I bring home with me. She's a great cook so I'll be feasting.

Please take pics of the yummy food.

I'm going to see my best friends tomorrow. I legit think I'm going to get emotional.

Congrats againπŸŽ‰πŸŽŠ

I wish I was staying longer but maybe next time.

I am simple person: I make sausage roll, I eat sausage roll

Writing something and submitting it even though it was incomplete.

Congrats to your daughter being almost done with Year 12!

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 6 days ago

It is what it is. Submitting something is better than nothing. Have a good weekend 🍺

Thanks πŸ™‚

My small win is apple strudel.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

The apple strudel has gone viral thanks to Spud 🍺

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 8 points 6 days ago

I found a rare shell in perfect condition. It will be put in the shell cabinet. I might also inform the museum of the sighting and take it in for an ID. ( there have only been 196 scientific sightings )

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 6 days ago

Exciting stuff 🍺

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I had no idea it was that rare, that's super cool! Cheers to that 🍻

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 6 days ago

Thanks. 😊🐚

I IDed it using my scientific shell book but I already knew what it was when I picked it up because i have been looking for one for decades, and the science book said rare. Then I looked it up on the museum website. It's rare.

I’m halfway through the kitchen and am sorting clothes into their new storage bags.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Cheers to another work week done.

Just want to now stay at home and hide from the world as that’s all I can do.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Make a blanket cubby and watch the footy all weekend 🍺

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 6 days ago

And video games, playing beats and shapes at the moment online.

Musical game with lots of dodging

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 5 points 6 days ago

I forgot the berry strudel I bought, may have it this weekend.

I hope its delicious.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 points 6 days ago

Small win?

Ahead of my workload for a week.

Changed a tap in bathroom today in like 20 minutes, no leaks.

Family is happy.

Going to footy tomorrow.

Shit's going okay.

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Cheers to that Beech 🍺
