anonymoose_au11:07pm: OK that's not the most positive subject heading, but when I woke up this morning I discovered a rash on my left wrist, which I noticed because my fit bit wasn't on. I must have removed it during the night and not noticed. I was rather confused because I've been wearing this particular Fitbit for a month now (not all the time obviously, I take it off when I shower) and another Fitbit before that and this hasn't happened before. Dr Google says it's contact dermatitis though and that I should keep the watch off until the rash goes away. Oh and clean it, which er I haven't done - I mean it didn't look dirty - if it had I would have cleaned it, obviously. Plus as I said this hasn't happened before. Still I wonder if I should see about buying a fabric strap since apparently they're less likely to cause issues.
Apart from that not much else to report - I've been playing House Flipper 2 almost obsessively, LOL, I also played Sims 4 though and the Carrot Gen is officially ready to go. As mentioned I'm planning to do alternate between boy-girl through the generations, although Carrotlyn who has grown into a teen is dang adorable. On the otherhand Julien is also cute LOL.
In other news, it's raining, which will hopefully stop by tomorrow morning because as always Archery is on and I've signed up. Also, my new sneakers suck in wet weather as I mentioned in a previous entry, I think. I don't want to wear my good sneakers though so hmmm.
Time is getting on, so I'll just meme and run...

These questions were written by tabular_rasa on LJ.
1. Do you mostly drink tap, filtered, or bottled water? Tap, I do put it in a jug that has room for a filter, but don't actually use it because I can't be bothered and our water is thankfully safe in Australia :O)
2. Is it safe/recommended to drink tap water where you live? If not, why? Indeed it is! And since fluroide is added to the water it's a good idea in order to get the benefits of that for your teeth.
3. What does the tap water taste/smell like where you live? Well, my sense of smell sucks - it seems to have reverted back to normal after the smelly buses incident, but I'm pretty sure the generally Aussie water doesn't smell like anything, at least as far as I can tell.
4. Do you collect rainwater? If so, what do you use it for? Nope, I'm not sure the apartment does, but I don't think so which is a shame. We could use it for the gardens here. Not that our gardens are very big, but every little bit of water recycling helps!
5. Do you/have you ever had restrictions on water use where you live? What did you have to change about your lifestyle? Actually yes! Back in 1999 the health department found crytospiridum in Sydney's water supply and for a month or so we had to boil any water we planned to drink - even when we brushed our teeth. Although I've just realised this question is probably referring to restrictions due to drought and such, and we've had those in place for decades really. As a general rule, no hosing pavements and watering gardens should happen in the morning or afternoon. I'm not actually sure if they're as strict as they used to be, but they're generally followed.
Right, I better be off now, bed calls!
Ta-ta!
