11:11pm: Last night, although I did have trouble getting to sleep, very annoying. I think I'm worried about the bugs in the house - and who wouldn't be! I guess maybe I didn't clean enough so they're still hanging around. I wish I knew where they came from, they just suddenly seem to appear out of nowhere...honestly it's quite creepy!

Anywho, I'm at the parental abode as my Lite'n'Easy is due to be delivered tomorrow, hopefully it'll come on time - they've been doing a good job the last month or so, but you never know.

Not much to report, and once it again it's quite late for me to be typing this up. Work was good, except I had a two hour desk shift at the end of the day, which meant I didn't get to finish the magazines that were delivered. Boo...that means they'll be delayed in getting to the branches.

On that note, Mum's heading off to bed and I shall do the same, before I go, I'm judging myself a little because I was playing The Sims 4 this evening and it decided to lock-up my computer and I hadn't saved (again!) do'h! Maybe I should get that mod that reminds you to save.

Ta-ta for now!

11:54pm: Yeah, I left this update way too late, I got caught up watching the Russian Figure Skating Grand Prix Final...the channel is back up on YouTube, so it's been a while since I've seen the Russians skating.

Anyway, in a quick update - I did go to Archery practice after work - I wore my gumboots, which proved to be a smart idea because it did start raining quite a bit. I also got a PB, yay! However, I did almost break one of the gazebo things, because of the rain the person who was there before me put it up to shoot under. And in my wisdom I tried to take it down when I finished despite the fact that you usually need four people to do that. Fortunately, someone came over to help, but I hope I didn't ruin it's legs. On the plus side I somehow avoided getting soaked by water LOL.

Oh dear, this skater has a tear in his pants, I hope he didn't hurt himself out there. I swear, Plushy is still holding onto that consistency, I mean he's still skating in figure skating shows so he can use it, but he probably should share :OP

OK, right, I gotta run!

Ta-ta

10:41pm: Alas, because of my absolute blinder of a practice on Monday I didn't get a personal best, but I did get two Xs (centre of the target shots) and only missed the target all together three times. The weather was pretty hard core though...it started off cloudy, but then the sun came out, also it was ridiculously humid - like 80%! I put on sunscreen, which I think worked despite my worries that I'd sweat it off in two seconds. Also it was the club sunscreen so I'm not actually sure if it's in date...I'm not sunburnt though, so I suppose it worked pretty well. That reminds me though I've got to bring my own sunscreen again, it's sitting on my bedside table so it's not like I have to go looking for it.

Anyway, I didn't win a medal or a raffle ticket prize (although one of the prizes was a ceramic sausage dog with a fake plant in it, which funnily enough I bought on Thursday after a tip off from a work colleague that Big W had some sausage dog related knick-knacks), but I did get to partake in the sausage sizzle, it was quite posh this time, there's a man from France who's a member of the club and he made the sausages by hand, along with a salad, and Greek Yogurt for topping in pita (?) bread, I think. He also made a butter cake, so that was good eatin'!

Although, I was originally going to shoot 40m because the only other person shooting 30m hadn't shown up, but it turned out there was a third person doing that distance so back to 30m I went. I did wonder if I should have gone with 40, but whatever.

On the downside, after all the heat, my digestive system went a bit weird on me just before I had to meet Dad for church. As a result I'm not sure about going to archery tomorrow, but I've signed up because I think it's better to do that and not show, then to show up without signing up because then they might not have put out enough targets or whatnot.

Finally, Mum is on board the flight home as I type, she's getting in at about 6:30am tomorrow and Dad has to pick her up because the trains aren't running. Then I'm going over there for lunch - I'm pretty sure I'm supplying the roast for that, so better get onto that.

On that note, I better head off - I'll have to catch up on The Friday Five tomorrow.

Ta-ta!

10:25pm: Of music to skate to?!

The Junior World Championships in figure skating is on right now and someone is skating to Carmen, a well known piece for figure skaters, but OMG, this particular version has a singer who sounds like they've been inhaling helium. Like for real why would you go with that one? It's like nails on a chalkboard. Although in recent years getting music clearance and all that jazz has been srs bsns (a couple of years back a band sued because they didn't get royalties or something?), so maybe that was the only version they could afford. Still, what a shocker.

Moving along, I am so sleepy...I didn't get the amount of zzzs I hoped to get last night - what else is new :OP - so I should as ever make this quick! Not that I have much to report, work was the usual, although our delivery of new books was twice the size as it has been lately so that was a surprise. Between myself and two of my other colleagues though we got it unpacked so will start going through them tomorrow and sending them out to the various branches tomorrow.

Although, somehow I managed to miss the magazines getting delivered by the postman today! They're my top priority so yeah bit of a miss there. What can you do though?

Right, I got side tracked and now it's 11:11pm! I better get outta here!

11:02pm: That France was so good at Biathalon - I'm rewatching some Olympics since I missed so much of it - and so far they've won the mixed relay and in the men's a French dude is kicking some ass. Although wait, he's just missed a shot so now he has to around the penalty loop.

Also I wonder how far away the targets are, they didn't say, I guess you can look it up, but it's late and I have to get my butt to bed, especially because I need to wash my hair tomorrow morning before work. Usually, I'd have washed my hair on Sunday, but because of my digestive issues I never got around to it, and it's been over a week now, LOL.

In other news, I've been trying to download a demo of House Flipper 1 Remastered and it is taking for-bloody-ever, I don't know what's going on, but it's really annoying.

Haha, now the Norwegians are in the lead, which is pretty much what one would expect in a Cross Country Skiing type thing and alas, an Italian who was doing really well had to pull out, bummer for the home nation. But considering this happend like two weeks ago, I'm not sure why I'm bothering to talk about this race. Although...is this the one where the guy who won bronze went on international TV to confess to cheating on his girlfriend and begging her to take him back? Seriously, what the Hell was that? Last I heard, said girlfriend was not taking him back, which isn't surprising to be honest...bad enough cheating, but then announcing it to the whole world? What a dingbat.

Probably not though because two of the Norwegians stuffed up so to the Penalty Loop they go :OP

Right, onto the current situation - there's not much to report if I'm honest, although I've got more desk shifts to look forward to because one of my colleagues is on sick leave for the next couple of weeks. Which considering I still haven't purchased properly supportive shoes is a bit of a worry.

I did washing my underwear this evening after I got home from the gym, so go me! Speaking of the gym though, I had to wear my work shoes because in my rush this morning I forgot to bring my gym bag to work - I did go looking for some sneakers to buy, but I didn't really have enough time at lunch, shoe purchasing requires more consideration.

OK, right, I better get the Heck to bed!

10:47pm: So I just realised I never called Dad! And now it's way too late... the plan originally to go over to Mum and Dad's place after archery to drop of the USB stick. However, I didn't end up going to archery which is a big bummer :O( I was making good time this morning, but as I was driving there I suddenly really really had to go to the bathroom, so much so I had to turn around and go back home, which put an end to today's plans because I felt just awful.

Still, I should have called Dad to see how he was going! I can't believe I forgot. :O(

Anywho, I spent the rest of the day watching Dr Gluon's 12th Anniversary Stream Live (not really) from James and Deli's new bathtub (he usually has a bath stream on Valentine's Day, but he was sick). That was a really fun time for sure! Although poor Doc seems to be coming down with another cold, poor guy.

Meanwhile, I didn't realise for some time because I don't look at news that much these days, but Iran's getting bombed right now. Apparently, the leader/dictator there has been killed and there's celebrations, but you have to wonder who's going to take over now? Hopefully, not a maniac!

There's also some drama going on at the Sydney Airport - a plane had to abort take off because of something on the runway and now they can't leave because curfew has set in. I wonder what happens to the passengers, do they get to go to a hotel? Or do they have to sleep in the airport?

On that note, I better get myself to bed, I slept really poorly last night, which I think was the cause of my digestive issues this morning - at least I hope that's the reason.

Ta ta!

10:51pm: I've really let it go since getting back from the cruise and it's looking sad once again, I really gotta clean it back up again. Especially since I have a terrible feeling the bugs have not disappeared.

Anywho, this will be another short entry because Archery is on tomorrow and I want to be on time, plus I don't have much to say, although I did have the weirdest dream where a tree branch grew through my bathroom? WTF? Not sure what the meaning behind that might be.

Also I just realised that there was a Friday 5 last week, but I was sick so that's why I didn't notice it... let's get onto that then!

The Friday Five

20/2/26

When did you last . . .

1. Scrounge for change (couch, ashtray, etc.) to make a purchase? Uh...I dunno actually. I don't really use cash much these days. I did try to pay for something with coins the other day, but I didn't have enough, so had to pay with card anyway.

2. Visit a dentist? I think it was in December? I can't actually remember now, but I go every six months for a clean and fluoride treatment. My teeth are in good shape! :OD

3. Make a needed change to your life? I really suck at making changes so I honestly have no idea. I guess I did do exposure therapy of sorts so I could fly on a plane and go places.

4. Decide on a complete menu well in advance of the evening meal? I don't think I've ever done this, seems unnecessary.

5. Spend part of the day (other than daily hygiene) totally/mostly naked? Scratches head, don't think I've done that either LOL.

The Friday Five

27/2/26

Feelings…

1. What made you happy this week? Playing The Sims 4 and watching Dr Gluon's streams LOL.

2. What made you sad? Having a cold sucked pretty bad.

3. What made you angry? Hmm...there was a definite lack of anger this week, which is good news for me I think!

4. What are you looking forward to in the next week? Hmm...well the Women's Day Archery Competition is next Saturday, I guess I'm looking forward to that if a bit nervous!

5. What are you not looking forward to? I can't think of anything, wipes brow.

OK, I better get outta here, bed calls and I need to Duolingo before that.

Ta-ta!

11:18pm: It could just be my internet in particular, but in any case it's been a real butt right now, I'm tying to watch YouTube videos, but the buffering is outrageous. I double checked and I am connect to the 5G so it should be working. Even when the buffering stops though, the resolution is so terrible I can hardly see what's going on. Although it seems to be recovering a bit now.

Not much else to report, my voice is much better, but I've got a rather chesty cough although fortunately I'm not coughing often but when I do, it sounds like those pack a days are getting to me :OP

I also picked up the ingredients to make lasagna - I had spaghetti for dinner tonight so with the leftover mince I'll make some white sauce mix it all together and with the magic that is lasagna sheets and cheese slices I will bake a lasagna tomorrow night. Although sadly for me, the day after tomorrow is a Friday in Lent so no meat - ah well there's always Saturday and Sunday to look forward to.

Oh! And I also found out that my niece Emma enjoyed her 10th birthday the other day and the card I made by hand - although seeing a photo of it I totally failed with the lettering, man I'm so bad at keeping things consistent :OP

Anywho, on that note I better go, it's 11:30pm on a work night!

10:14pm: So I ended up taking today off, although fingers crossed I should be good for tomorrow - although it's that time o' the month which does indeed suck. Also I have a sore tooth, which I think might be from one of my wisdom teeth. Once again, I wonder about getting them removed, but I'm still freaked out by the very idea! It usually goes away after like a day so the I kind of forget about it.

In other news the Olympics is over, and I'm catching up on the 4 Man Bobsled, Jamaica had a team this year! Alas they didn't make the fourth run, but well done! Also somewhat amusing as an Australian the male half of the commentating team sounds like our Prime Minister. Obviously it isn't, but it's still uncanny. I've also noticed that when there's multiple teams from one country they're no calling them Country 1/ Country 2 anymore, interesting.

Also my knee hurts, this usually happens before my period so I don't know what's going on here, I'm gonna have to take some ibprofen before heading to bed I think.

Not much else to report, although I'm still trying to figure out where the bugs in my kitchen are coming from, they just seem to appear out of nowhere! Which is rather creepy...I've given the cupboard where they seemed to be hanging out the most a good cleaning, but I'm still wondering if I should set off a bug bomb inside there or something. Definite note to myself to take advantage of the discount bug spraying this year, I missed it last year - I think maybe I was in Japan? - and I sure am regretting it.

The top nine are about to go in the Bobsled - Germany currently holds all the podium spots, what will happen... well you can look it up, LOL.

OK, I'll be off now!

10:12pm: I'm about to head off to bed, I did go to work today although my brain was kind of failing throughout the day, but that could just be a Friday. On the plus side my throat didn't get any sorer, but on the downside it's still sore :O( As a result I've decided not to go to Archery tomorrow, I'm hoping this will help because I'm actually on the schedule to help set up the grounds on Sunday morning. I'm not sure if I should say I can't do it, I mean I don't want to leave it until the last minute if I'm not going to do it. On the other hand I don't want to look like I"m trying to wriggle out of stuff :O(

That reminds me, I'm also supposed to go to church and do the PowerPoint even though there won't be any music and I don't actually know who to contact if I'm not feeling up to doing that either. I guess I What'sApp Mum and ask. Which brings me to the reason there's no music at church tomorrow, Mum and Dad set off on their trip to Japan this morning! Hopefully, Dad's back is not in too bad a shape after 10 hours or something in the air.

Anyway, I'm gonna turn in, after all rest is the best way to tackle a cold!
