Disco music is becoming a real dirty pleasure of mine lately. Started with the movie The Martian of all places. Feel strange walking around listening to a bit of Boney M.

I’m so annoyed that I don’t have the energy or appetite to cook anymore.

I’m still going to look at your food pics and chime in though

I definitely went through a 2-3 week phase of regaining my appetite and cooking heaps. Seems to be waning though as I've more recently burnt up a lot of energy on cat stuff, moving, fast paced work stuff. After being up up up my body is starting to sink into relaxation (even though I kinda can't for another two weeks). Super grateful I have a heap of stuff in the fridge and freezer to last me a solid week.

Same.

I have the mental energy and there's so much I want to do today, headache tells me no.

Marmalade remade, lemon juice added and a bit of pectin. Put some star anise on top and it smells like a German cake shop. yum

Felt actually hungry for the first time in a couple of days. Ordered Chinese food. I couldn't taste it except for the spicy soup, which I could almost taste, but which inexplicably had chunks of pineapple and raw tomato floating around in it. Not sure what kind of Chinese food that is lol. The steamed dim Sims looked like a couple of brains. The chicken satay skewers were done in a batter, which I haven't encountered before and hopefully won't again.

Based on the number of enquiries about my outdoor furniture I think I underpriced it 🤣 It does mean it should be gone this afternoon, and I will have 1/3 of the estimated garden project cost covered, so that is a good result. Once it's gone I'll be able to make a start on pulling up some paving.

My earworm right now is

my neck my back lick my pussy and my crack

And it is all that is getting me through this snotty nose and sore throat.

The newspapers are looking good today.

I bought the book Legends and Lattes on Saturday and I'm a little over 100 pages and it makes me so happy. It's so cute. I've heard people really love it or really dislike it. I hope I like it by the end. But so far, really enjoying it! I highly recommend it to people who like fantasy settings similar to Dungeons and Dragons, or cozy murders (so far no murder but it's called a cozy fantasy). I'm not even a fan of fantasy myself and I'm enjoying this.
