Starting to feel a little more human today, but aside from doing some washing, am forcing myself to continue resting in case I undo all of the good work my resting is doing. Just hoping for some sunshine so I can lie in it for a bit.

Ages ago I impulse-purchased the best earbuds you can pretty much get (WF-1000XM4) thinking I could force myself to enjoy them considering so many people like that format of headphone. I've been an over-ear enjoyer for many years and always felt like buds would fall out of my apparently little ear holes. They've been sitting in a drawer pretty much since I bought them but I'm once again trying to use them now that I bought some aftermarket tips which apparently help. Been listening to some folk music while doing the dishes over lunch and it has actually been alright! I still keep fiddling with one of them thinking it feels like it might fall out. Not sure how many others have this weirdness with inner-ear buds.

It is nice not having the weight/heat of the over-ears. I might take these on holiday and see if I can finally get some use out of them.

Meanwhile; kitchen is clean, mixed some chamomile & grapefruit oils into my diffuser and I have a cold drink. I'm ready for this afternoons meetings.

I've never been able to use ear buds. I've tried multiple types, including ones with multiple tips, and none of them work - they are either uncomfortable or fall out. I've just accepted they are not for me and now use over ear ones instead.

Ew just found out my best friend listens to Joe Rogan's motivational stuff. She's a messy person who falls pray to bullshit quite often so I can only imagine she's hanging on every toxic unhelpful word he says.

Frustration taken out on yard, we now have a compost bin. w00t w00t, the worms shall feast!

(its twin is still sitting on concrete as a spillover 'cos our green bin is gonna be running hot for a while...really feeling the pain of moving to a council that hasn't done weekly green waste pickup yet)

A bit of a chilly start to the day. 3.4 degrees outside, but at last it is not wet or windy, so with a jacket on the dog walk wasn't too painful. Looking forward to some sun later. 🌞

Dinner was V2 vegan "meat" in a muffin with mayo tomato sauce and a bit of uncooked mushroom. There are three left. I stopped eating cheese, drinking beer and having normal breaded stuff since I wanted to lose weight.

I have such a weird relationship with food since nearly everything I ate at the last place was either the reduced whatever from woolies or veges I grew myself and made into stew. Can't be bothered with spending an hour prepping for just me.

I live vicariously through all of your lovely food pics and kinda drool sometimes.
