Yeah I've told work I won't be available tomorrow. Got some things to take care of so it'll be good to take a day.

The hits keep on hitting. Told I have the diabeetus last week. This afternoon I get the call that my nan has passed away, so with my parents in America I'm handling things with my best British stiff upper lip and just now I finally sat down after having to call my mum and tell her that her mum has died then dealing with the paperwork, looked at my phone and it appears the reason I stopped hearing from the woman I was interested in persuing things with is that she might have taken her jerk ex back.

Sprinkle in a couple of minor work annoyances like people ignoring things I say when I'm meant to be a voice of authority and I'm just having a grand old time. Yaaaay.

Probably expensive seafood and white wine too. Oh and people wearing a lot of white linen and playing bocce. Is this related to something I haven't heard about because I don't watch/read the news?

My work is terrible at asset management. I have so many old devices kicking around it's stupid. I should just dump them all at the office with someone sometime but they're all long-forgotten.

I have a work Windows Phone in my desk somewhere.. thing belongs in a museum.

Coles/Woolies or whatever is cheapest bottled water vs Mount Franklin or any other fancy brand. The cheap ones are fine. I don't even know if they still sell Evian here but Evian tastes weird. So does Nestlé's one whatever that's called. Obligatory Fuck Nestlé.

Don't come at me with "just drink tap water it's great in Melbourne".. I do when I'm home.. but I also go on road trips to places with less-than-amazing tap water and/or no chilled water.

Another vote for the Aldi chocolate range which is incredible and leagues ahead of Cadbury and just about anything you can get from the Colesworth shelves. Maybe Lindt is a contender but like 3x more expensive than the Aldi stuff.

has been the case for years

but if you're not ordering using their app you're doing McDonald's wrong anyway.. free stuff and deals you're missing out on

Went and grabbed some hot & spicy pieces from KFC

Got it 3 baybeeeeeeee but that's almost entirely because I'm an idiot and I didn't even realise I was using the US spelling

Cafe latte meal replacement shake

But I did have a sausage roll from the NZ bakery for lunch

Got the news this morning but haven't brought myself to tell anybody yet so you'll be the first. I did the glucose resistance test last week and it seems I have type 2 diabetes. I felt fine during and after the tests so I thought maybe I'd be ok but apparently not so much.

It was almost inevitable, I think, considering dad and I are so similar and he has it. I'm still processing it though. I don't think I have any of the symptoms of it but no doubt if I don't start managing it they'll start popping up. This is my first real health issue. Never broken a bone or had to go to hospital besides normal infant stuff. Not as invincible as I suspected.

Steamed up some dumplings

I don't watch any reality type of shows unless they're about finding gold or opals but this new Sin City Tow show on Discovery is my new little treat. I'm sure a chunk of it is staged but I don't care.

I made some scrambled eggs with shredded ham, butter and a bit of maple syrup. Was nice. Slightly overcooked the eggs more than I like but it was still good.

I just learned something about myself. I thought I'd never ridden on a horse but I just saw a photo of me riding one when I was a kid on my parents digital photo frame. How about that.

I knew I'd ridden on a camel and an elephant. Didn't know about the horse.

I'm trying to decide if I want to order my favourite pizza considering I'm in Melton and only have a couple of slices then store the rest or just steam up some dumplings I have here

If it helps at all I had it in the UK and it was very underwhelming

I live there and it's fine? Green spaces. Community library/basketball/soccer/netball/whatever courts. Movies. Supermarkets. Shops. Quiet. Free PT to CBD. Not sure what you want to walk out onto the street to but this sounds like a reverberation of generic potentially outdated opinions about the place. I'd say the only thing it lacks these days are night spots. There's 1 or 2 around but it's not like it used to be with the clubs and pub on central pier.

I am a huge Storm fan sooooo...

Also the Broncos introduced wrestling into NRL not Storm. Storm just took it further and rules were brought in, then Storm adhered to them the same as any other team.

I'd challenge you to look at the Storm in the last.. let's say 5 years.. and say that Storm 'cheat'. Every single team tries to push the limits to get an advantage within the rules. It sounds as if your opinions on us are outdated.

I'm housesitting my parents place for almost a month from Monday. Just thinking about tomorrow's weather and it has me thinking.. maybe I'll take dad's Harley out for a lil ride while I'm there. It has been quite a while since I rode.
