    Wow. Friday is here and my list of things to do is getting smaller. Just the one thing scheduled in the calendar meeting wise, but when I got in this morning there has been a massive failure at one location that I have to deal with as top priority.

    Put everything in place and all of a sudden I’m hit with the sleepies as a result of our coffee beans running out and there not being enough for my normal IV drip of coffee that would last me the day.

    On Sunday I’ve made a plan to do a bunch of snacky cooking while my wife takes the son to the park for a few ours. By the time they’re back I’m hoping to have a smorgasboard of delights for us to kill off the evening with a movie. Maybe OG Space Jam? Other suggestions appropriate for a 3-4 year old are welcome.




  • 3 more Mondays, 2 more Fridays before my new job begins. I’m excited and nervous.

    Last night I did some great double thickness pork steaks and used some leftover peanut butter to make a sauce for them. It was absolutely divine and have cemented the double thick pork steak into my weekly trip to the butchers.



  • Haha. Tickled me at least.

    Last night I stood out on the back steps for 5 minutes or so just absorbing the moisture in the rain directly to my soul.

    Somehow it was still dry as a nuns wotsit this morning when I walked into the office.

    The trick to avoiding nonreddit is reminding myself how angry everyone is at reddit. 😂




  • Haha, well it’s cultivated over years. I don’t think I could live anywhere that didn’t have some form of decent restaurant options and people I could occasionally subject to my imitation of good cooking. As for music, I’m not like the headbanging rock live music type, but a casual evening listening to Hans Zimmer? That’s a music event for me.

    You must have chosen to live out in the sticks if that isn’t a little bit of an option?


  • Going out tonight to have a nice steak at a new Steakhouse in town. Then stroll down the hill to see some live music be played in the venue I got married in.

    No child to look after tonight so a nice full night sleep 🤨

    Tomorrow hosting two friends and going to make a Beef Wellington for the first time, excited to do that.





  • Listened to “Pink noise” to see if it would help me sleep on Tuesday night, felt a bit better but couldn’t be 100% whether it actually helped get to a deeper sleep.

    So last night tried going to sleep with an audiobook playing and feel like crap. Could be a coincidence, but it means tonight I’m trying that pink noise again and today will be harder.

    Coffee beans were running low too, so me and the wife had to split half a pot of coffee between us. That’s a sure-fire way for everyone to be lethargic and moody through the day xD
