Question of the day: When you take the old sheets off the bed do you refer to that as "stripping"? As in I've stripped the bed ready for the new sheets to go on later or do you call it something else or never thought about it.

Fuck I think that's the 3rd time I've edited my spelling.

When I crash at a friends I ask if they want me to strip or make the bed.

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yep, have always called it stripping the bed..

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago

I'd say stripped the sheets if I haven't put new sheets on the bed yet, once I've remade it I'd say I changed the sheets.

Always been taking the sheets off for me.

It's a good day. The woolies bins were full of tapioca pudding that hadn't even been unpacked, and I've got a party today. Chocolate pudding for all!

So I froze margarita mix then ran it through the Creami and added tequila. Is a margarita daiquiri a thing?

Good gig last night.

Never really liked the venue (Brown alley). not sure how i feel about having a mugshot taken. Also no passouts which is odd because they stamp you when you go in. Pretty scathing reviews on google lol. Good sound though.

Last track they played has been a top 3 of mine for years and I don't think I'll ever hear it on a loud rig again so that made it worth it.

My girlfriend has finally decided to check out bone conduction headphones. The whole time we've been together she would just play things on her phone constantly because she didn't like things in or around her ears.

She decided to get some bone conduction headphones, completely unprompted given I have a spare pair she could have used. I might finally get some peace and quiet if she takes up using these

Iโ€™m so fucking embarrassed that it took me this long to realise I havenโ€™t been singing in my voices natural key. Which is why everything takes ages to learn.

Not any more it seems lol. Iโ€™m singing pretty much every song I like and itโ€™s easy.

Learn music theory!

I bought a warm milk. Was meant to be a cappuccino but I don't think coffee touched the cup.

Washing done. Dishes done.

Iโ€™m off to the market, and then to get my hair cut

I got woken up around midnight from a really deep sleep because someone wanted a lozenge. But I actually managed to get back to sleep really quickly for once. I've got to go into work because I forgot to fill in my timesheet for yesterday. The boss bought a new cleaning product for the floor and I was enthusiastically testing it out ๐Ÿ˜† so I forgot. Then I'll probably take Miniest shopping for clothes for school camp and the year beyond (no uniforms needed for high school). For now though I'm enjoying that "I don't have to get up yet" weekend vibe.

[โ€“] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago

I momentarily forgot you had miniPeelers and was so confused by who the mystery midnight lozenge bandit was... I too am enjoying Saturday snoozies but suspect I need a coffee soon!

I go through this endless cycle of installing instagram, zoning out for ages, deleting it so I donโ€™t do it again and then reinstalling a day or two later.

Morning ๐Ÿ™‚

I have awoken early but surprisingly well , need more sleep tho and maybe take it easy so my back can recover

[โ€“] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

4:52, that's 6-7hours sleep. That's okay.

Annoyingly, my dog scratched the bottom of my foot by accident but it's making walking painful.

Warts on my toes are returning, which would be whatever, but there is now a small one forming on my FUCKING FINGERTIP!! Right on my fingerprint. Like, excuse me? We could have lived in peace, but this strain of HPV has forced my hand.

I bought a nitrous oxide freeze device from the pharmacy. I'm going scorched earth on their asses.

Edit: ha ha ha that was farked

B_R has a blowtorch, now Spud has an ice device. Thatโ€™s fire and ice/water.

We only need someone to get a leaf blower or compressed air gun for air and errโ€ฆ something for earth so we can be elemental benders

The coffee and date loaf I made yesterday is pretty delicious, but could do with more dates. It's probably just as well I only brought two slices with me to work, if I had the whole loaf I would probably end up eating half of it, it's a bit moreish.

I have very possibly found the worst not quite X movie ever. Butch Camp; young Gay guy in denial gets taught straightness by leather Dykes. Too many tropes to count. Hobbits should lock their doors.

some christmas decorations are already up in stores. thank goodness halloween exists, as a powerful brick wall to stop the christmacization of wesfarmers and colesworth from occuring even earlier.
