How the hell was your day? 🐕

I did another deep-dive research on cars today. The more I search, the more confused I get. Now the question is, which type of the certain model that I'm interested in, and regular or hybrid? I almost bought a $10 scratch lottery ticket yesterday, because its top prize was a car, and it would be such a relief to just be handed some car, so I don't have to choose for myself. I wanted to do test-drives this weekend with my best friend, but her mom's in the hospital, so probably not. Puts my problems in perspective.

I hate trying to buy a new car. There is a reason why my current car is a Fiat Panda, just like my last one.
My best friend came with me to take a test drive of a car I was really interested in. It did have a nice ride. But at the end, I was told that the hybrid version, which is what I wanted, has orders backed up for up to three months, and is selling for $10,000 over the MSRP! If it were anything else, they would be accused of price gouging. How is it legal? This is a terrible time to buy a car, I think. I may just learn to take the bus more.

Had a nice lunch with my friend, though, and a good nap this evening.
 
My day has been the same as usual. I sleep the day away. Nothing else.
Now, I've always been a night owl who's sluggish during the day.. but it's been so extreme lately. Got blood work done at the doctors office earlier this week in the hopes we can find out why I am so tired all the time now. Here's hoping there's an actual reason and I'm not just severely lazy😳

I'm experiencing much of the same. Blood tests show I don't need vitamins and all hormones (that they checked) are working correctly. It's a frustrating mystery that frightens me a little. But sleep problems do run in my family.

Cars are so frustrating! If I lived in a place with any public transport or even taxis, I wouldn't have got another car. Its tough! When I looked at fuel vs hybrids at the time, the hybrids that were available were listed as doing around 4.6L/100kms. My petrol car was listed at 5L/100kms and $10,000 cheaper. I didnt think the hyrbrids were going to save me enough in the long run to be worth it, but there are much better batteries on the market now and its only been a year! The electric cars are getting better every year too, but thats even more complicated! Goodluck! It is very stressful.

We all slept in today too, til 11am! Yesterday I took the dogs on their usual walk around town and we were extremely sociable. I was taking limes to a lady up the road but another neighbour stopped me before I got there and claimed some limes, updated me on the footy, then I dropped the rest of the bag off to the lady who wanted them and another neighbour was there too so we got caught up on town goss. Then the policemans wife was at the park with her dog. Shes a pommy and was whinging that it was far too cold and she needed to go out to buy gloves and better winter clothes. After that I took the dogs for a drive and a walk at the coast where we met more doggy friends. So understandably, we were all wiped out for 12 hours straight.

I gave both the dogs a wash in the shower. Not the simplest of tasks. I wish I had a bath! I think one dog prefers the shower, while the other prefers buckets in the backyard. It was much harder to rinse all the soap off since the water pressure was so low, I had to use an icecream container to get the soap out. I turned the heater up as high as it goes in an attempt to dry them before dark, they are both on my lap on a towel now. I should buy a hairdryer but I hate them! The vibrations rattle my head. Poodle is pretty much dry but the other one has longer locks.

At least I know they will be passed out now for a while so I can finally finish the edging on this bloody blanket and start season 5 of Agents of Shield. I have seen the later season fewer times.
 
You guys remember that YouTube reaction channel I've mentioned in the past? The one with the married couple I'm so fond of? Well, check this out:

A casual friend of mine sent an email, saying he'd found some new photos of the couple. We're both fans of the channel, so I thought, "Oh cool, new photos. How nice!" But holy shit, when I saw them, I nearly died. The pics were of her and her husband together. Like, hardcore really, really together. I already knew that she had an OnlyFans but was NOT expecting those kind of pics. I'm 100% sure my "friend" sent them just to mess with me. That bastard! 😄

Even as I write this, my eyes are wide and my mouth is hanging open a little. Slightly traumatized, yes. I was expecting some 'happy family photos.' But I suppose they DID look happy!

OnlyFans, a great British company. :D
Doing alright. Went to church, came back. Beautiful weather. Kitty is happy with her wet food. Got a latte so life is beautiful. These days there's a lot going on so any little thing like that makes me pretty happy.
 
Insomnia strikes again! I've been up since 3am yesterday morning. And I have a doctor's appointment at 9:30 which I'll definitely make. I'm tired, but I still have things to do.

Yesterday I skipped watching the S3 premiere for House of the Dragon. Just wasn't interested enough. So many spoilers were online before it premiered, I already knew what was going to happen anyway. 🐉
 
Today was... rough on the parenting front. Also a wasp got in the house and me and the eldest both screamed like little girls lol. I sprayed it with bathroom cleaner and also unfortunately got myself. It was a cluster lol.

It has been a long and tiring day and I am very much enjoying the fact the kids are in bed and I have chocolate lol. But, tomorrow is a new day!
 
Well it's been almost a week since I had bloodwork done at the doctor's office and still no call.... I guess I might have to call her.. not like I'm surprised... she hasn't been super on top of things lately and it kind of sucks.

Anyway, I was able to view my results online, and it looks like I'm perfectly healthy aside from a few very mild abnormalities that should not be causing me to be sleeping all day. I guess in a way that's good... but also... I guess it means my diagnosis is probably "just fat and lazy".

Would be great if the sleepies could share sleep with the insomniacs and vice versa!
Went for a walk down on the coast today. We walked up the boardwalk track around the hill overlooking the ocean. It was very beautiful. Its nice to have these places where dogs have to be on leads, its far less stressful! The drive was a bit hectic. Crazy drivers on the highway. Im glad I am never in a rush enough, so I can hang back when they do dumb overtaking. Someone nearly hit a motorbike today, they obviously didnt see it coming until too late! Close call but all ok.

I am still looking for better dog seat solutions. Poodle kept falling because she was trying to look out the window. So now I wonder if big high booster beds might be a better way to go. They are just as stupidly expensive as the car crates though! Pet stuff is big business haha. Im not spending stupid money if I cant find exactly what will work.

Big rain expected this weekend so its nice we had a big day today and the weekend can be quieter.
 
Yesterday was a pretty good day, actually! I had the day off from work, and it poured rain all day, so I just stayed home. I organized some paperwork, and re-organized my desk. Went through some old photographs which made me feel wistful. Then, I listed some items on my eBay, ordered Taco Bell for lunch, watched some TV, and in the evening, I met up with a friend for karaoke.

I've been a bit lonely since my boyfriend has been out of town for over a month, and I don't have many friends here where I live. But I've been trying to stay busy, and I'm so grateful I have my pets to keep me company.

My mother always said, "Cooking is life," and I finally get what she meant. I had absolutely nothing scheduled today, so I made another pot of white rice with sauteed onions and lots of butter. I was actually humming in the kitchen! 😄 Rice is so beautiful when there's a bunch of butter in it. Everything just glistening and looking yummy. My entire place smells like a diner... probably because of all the onions I cooked.

I can't even remember the last time I had meat. I still dream of McDonald's, but I don't actually want it. I have a can of crushed pineapple, and I can't fully express how AWESOME it tastes.
 
Slept well last night and woke up refreshed. I actually got six hours of sleep! Usually I get about two hours of sleep...sometimes 30-45 minutes... sometimes none. Believe me, sleeping for SIX WHOLE HOURS is cause for celebration. 😁

For the record, I'm SICK of eating rice. All my life, I've gotten on different foods kicks. I'll taste something good, then BOOM! And I end up eating the same thing every day...until I get sick of it. My mother always said that I have no middle ground, just extremes. And she's absolutely right! 🥳

Instead of rice, made scrambled eggs with tuna, onion, and cheese. That's another dish I learned from mom. When she and my dad divorced, she had to work two jobs and things were tight. Therefore, she came up with a lot of weird recipes. I'll NEVER forget the infamous eggplant casserole.
It was slimy and looked like something out of a nightmare. Mom told us we WERE going to eat, or else. Then she tasted it...and ran into the kitchen to spit it out.


We ended up going to McDonald's 😄😄

 
Totally get that. I'll sometimes make myself wait to make some food stuff last. Also have weird thing where don't like having too many things planned for food or will be not in mood for it before I even have it. I know I'm an odd duck. 😳
 
The weather is so ominous and cloudy and I LOVE it! Paid bills, did laundry, went shopping, almost got my nails done...right now I'm trying to decide what I want to eat. Naturally there's nothing here that I want.

Currently, I have a bunch of cheese, wheat bread, Cup 'O Noodles, peanut butter, fruit cups, oatmeal, raisins, rice cakes, syrup, and frozen pancakes. There is absolutely NOTHING here that sounds tasty. I've been eating "healthy" for too long. I want a giant chilli cheese dog with onions, mustard, ketchup and a huge bag of fries.

can't eat the bread, soup nor the pancakes - le sigh
I picked up some medication earlier, then went to Target. I needed five more pillows. (The ones I got last year are all smooshed and NOT fluffy anymore) My pillows need to be fluffy, damn it. Like when you lie down, your head is enveloped in softness.

For the record, I actually have at least]/u] twenty pillows. 😄 Mainly because I put a lot of them under the futon's original mattress. I've owned it since 2015, so the mattress isn't as firm as it used to be. Yup, I've been plopping my butt down on it for awhile.
