I hadn't been back to see the replies until now but this trip is a week at my parents housesitting so most of the electronics are for work. I have my personal laptop for personal stuff/gaming, work MacBook pro which I'm using now, work iPad, work windows laptop which I'm configuring as a Cloud PC kiosk device. Each of these serve different functions I'm testing. I probably could have left the iPad at home to be honest but it doesn't take up much room so I threw it in in case someone needed me to test something.
The shower was something I had in those 30-40 minutes not something I packed in my bag lol
My media streamer is an NVIDIA Shield Pro. I only brought it because my parents TV is too old for most streaming apps to work properly and now that I'm using the iPhone I can't stream to the Chromecast I gave them years ago.
If I'm going proper traveling none of the work stuff comes with me, or the monitor.
One thing I'm really quite good at is packing to go on a trip really quickly. I've got like 3 laptops, an ipad, a 27" monitor, a media streamer, PS5 controller and all manner of cables, my clothes and my CPAP machine all fitting snuggly into my trusty suitcase. Then I have my backpack of stuff and a tote with foodstuffs and my blender. All took maybe 30-40 minutes and there was a shower in there too.
I went to get a chicken burger from Red Rooster. They left me sitting at the drive thru window for ages after Iβd ordered at the box. Eventually I saw one of the cooks walk up to the guy who was meant to come and see me, he had my burger in his hand and must have said βcan I give this to the drive thru?β or something and the guy said yes so he comes over and hands me the burger, says have a good night and closes the window. Notice that at no point had I paid.
I donβt know if itβs just because Iβve been playing too much cowboy video game but I just left with my burger. Peeled out of there like Iβd pulled off a heist. So Iβm officially an outlaw now. Life is rough on the other side of the law but it sure is excitinβ! Yeehaw!
Itβs on like donkey kong here in Docklands itβs friggin bonkers
Free coffees. But medium is the only value for points now, sadly. I'm actually maxed out on points so I really need to start redeeming some stuff.
Felt gross so I'm hydrating like a mofo today. I think maybe that was the issue.
No adventures for me this weekend either. Staying put and keeping it really low key. Trying not to get too much in my own head about things progressing. I'm scared but also excited. I've spent so much time on my own for way too long that I just hope I can come back from it without being a weirdo.. well, the weird kind of weirdo anyway I've always been a goofy weirdo.
I'm crashing after my morning caffeine hit! Argh!
This is the way. Also, to save the annoying ripping off of the right size of baking paper grab some liners
Lovely thanks! I'll swing by there on Monday and grab some to try out
I used cold brew instead of water in my vanilla manshake and it's not bad! If I post "help help" in about 30 minutes then I'm having a little bit of a heart attack so please send help.
Off to the dentist soon for my biannual clean. I should probably look for a closer dentist than Bacchus Marsh but I do enjoy a drive so c'est la vie.
Meanwhile, blending meal replacement shakes with a bit of ice is a revelation. I've ordered some recommended ones online but to fill the gap until they get here I got some vanilla manshake and a tin of milo from the shops last night because it's a great mix.
