Anyone feel like they could disappear and nobody would notice?

I used to, all the time - less so these days, but the potential is always there. if I lapse, and return to a hermit hole, and don't nudge my brain into more kind and helpful circuits that can recognise and remember comments of appreciation and need, I can very easily start feeling that way again.
Yes, but I'm also pretty sure that it's the depression talking. Maype worth seeing a psych or doctor about?
I just want to say if you make a bunch of gyoza for any occasion people will eat all of them.
And that's a fact!
Today's challenge: Defrosing of the chest freezer. Followed by attempting to repack said freezer in a more organised and accessible manner.
Four zuchinis harvested today, more on the way and plenty in the fridge still. I'm adding dehydrating zuchinis for zucchini flour to my to do list. Next step is giving away zucchinis to the food cupboard. The pumpkins and squash are starting to take off now too, and if the number of flowers on the tomato plants is any indicator I will have plenty of those next year too. I really need to get on to planting more leaves and root crops though. I do have self-sown mustard greens everywhere as well as kale and beetroot greens, so I guess it is mostly lettuce I need to try and get more of.
Thank you Baku bot.
Beep boop
That thunder was so loud it woke me up.
I'm having trouble sleeping (for unrelated reasons), but it seems like every time I've started to relax I'm shaken back into anxiety land by thunder
Iโm still up for some unknown reason.
Hi D, I guess we have a bit of a club happening now
See how long it lasts. How come youโre still up?
Iโm here sipping some wine
Aaaaaand BIL tested positive for covid.
Goddamnit that family giving us c19 better not become a goddamn Christmas tradition

Ummm. One box please

sits back with cuppa, watches internet crazies crazy at each other
And the cricket is on at the G. Yay!
The rain gods have heard our pleas.
There appears to be a bit of rain heading in via Yea in a couple hours but let's hope it holds. Back in Melbourne and nice to see some sun again
Doh. Youโre right. Quite a big and heavy band trying to make its way down at the moment.
Fingers crossed it disappears and rains itself out.
Good to have you back!
It's sunny too.
And in a stroke of luck Iโve unearthed 2 bottles of wine I didnโt know I had!

This is a good omen.
Good morning! Still happily in PJ land, wondering if I can be bothered braving the shops or if staying in PJs is better. PJs are definitely better, but also means I'm less likely to also go to the gym.
Lazy day today. I may very well stay in my PJs all day.
Just caught and released the white tailed spider that was eating all the daddy long legs in my home. Best Christmas present I could have asked for. I actually hated them so much lol
Edit: Photo. Good riddance!
spoiler
Ew yuck no ew
Although I suppose if 1 spider kills 10 spiders that's still a net positive to society, though long legs and me go way back and we chill
i should probably get up
Why?
i should have breakfast
That is a good enough reason.
I napped today and am awake now ๐ฅฑ
Happy Boxing Day! Remember to put out pumpkin seeds tonight so the Boxing Day Gremlin doesn't eat any of your toes! ๐ฆ
I have O Fortuna stuck in my head and now I'm subconsciously doing things to its rhythm
Westgate is mostly closed inbound from today right..? What about the ring road, coming from Geelong way...? Just figuring out airport timings for later.
In another edition of "What I made today", cucumber pickles. Made from a couple of rescue cucumbers from the food cupboard.
Don't pickles default to cucumbers? Like, you can have pickled onions/capsicum etc. But if you just say "pickles", you mean cucumber.
