Today I saw a guy with a Simple Jack haircut.

Didn't sleep last night, at least I felt like I didn't

That will serve me right by making two brewed coffees yesterday.

This is going to be a long day and painful day.

I tried a YT short recipie for dins tonight. Mostly for shits & giggles, but it worked. Chicken 'fried' in water. I used drumsticks cos cheeep so no weeping if I had to toss it. It was quite nice. Will do this again, but with the recommended wings. Sauce was gorgeous in texture but I should have used a tad bit more chili and less mustard. Worth trying.

The pumpkins have been hand pollinated and buds/leaves wiped down where necessary. There were a few more female flowers open so I hope I get some fruit.

I weighed the remaining foil pan down with a partial brick to prevent the wildlife water from tipping over but given my area I’m now wondering if that’s a good idea… one of the druggie fuckwits could impulsively throw that right through my window. It would be on camera so I could get them charged and have proof I wasn’t responsible for the damage but it’s still not a nice thought.

My stomach is so angry -_- Being stressed all the time just doesn’t help. Having another test today.

The police won't do shit about footage of a junkie throwing a brick through your window.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Probably not. I’ve done this dance before.

But I would need the police report and proof of it not being me so I don’t have to pay for damages or get kicked out.
