I am home from the hospital. Took a nasty fall on my carpeted stairs. I have hairline fractures on my L1, L2 and L3 on my vertebrae. so a lot of rest needed.

i do prefer gas over induction. I like to eat stir fry which requires wok-hei, which induction stove top would not offer.

this is Chonkers; he is a fancy mouse. A bit large for his breed and is a good boy.

ikea came with thegood at 8.30am, my left lower back is still fucked. still lots of resting.

maybe we should have something like flairs? to tell ppl here who we support

if the cbd dies so be it. i mean they will have to re-adapt. The CBD for me feels more touristy and more student life. i used to stay there over lockdown sure a lot of businesses have close down as well but those who adapted are thriving.

day 5, had to drive with the corset; let's just say the loaner car is too low.... but yea excited to get the dashcam and boot protector installed, my cupboard didn;t turn up today....

williamstown enterance to the west gate this morning was shit. the car was moving around 1km an hour, turns out becos it was a one-lane-only entrance everyone has using the second lane to cut in. best part was I used a side road to exit and there is a "keep clear" box outside this side road, had to loudly horn at someone who was cutting in. smh

The pain is better today took a nice afternoon sleep. yea, these days I've been sleeping a lot, resting a lot. some said no housework but having both of us having back issues, someone has to do it lol, but really taking it easy. might attempt t go to the city on Friday for the footy as well as on Saturday to go to the finders market with a friend. definitely weaning myself off endone. will attempt med-free sleep tonight.

weather is too cold.....

Back is still painful. Got a corset. It helps. lots of sleeping and resting.

surcharge is ok as long as i can pay in cash if not I will take my coffee somewhere else

ok pain is slowly going away which is good resumed my life by going to the farmer's market [awesome as usual], sadly the knife guy and the stew guy were absent, the mushroom guy was there XD

just watch the entire thing cos u will miss something if u skip.

pain is slowly subsiding, put a shoe rack together today, I am not a DIY person, unfortunately.

so gray's didn't deliver, off to vcat I go. making payment on the car tomorrow, collecting on Thursday. today was spent in the kitchen and watching my hubby play ff16. off to clean the mice after dinner. yea stay warm everyone.

let's see, bought a ton of stuff online. delivery is going to be crazy the next couple of weeks. but finally a bedside table :) been here for almost 2 years and no bedside table. btw what is DT, seen it mentioned too many times. maybe I dun lurk on r/mebourne as much as I think I did.

spent the day gardening at the community garden. plucked out a lot of weeds, more weeds to tackle at home as well as the community garden. went to bunnings bought supplies to reframe one plot for pea and beans. Monday involves a lot of calling and harassing of people. yea long week ahead

I drive the SUV I usually give the wave [a bit too euthsiactically]

i would try it XD

hubby cooking chilli corne carne with rice

Most ppl use VPNs, i find it laughable they are trying to get VPNs to ban sites.... smh
