Bot appears to be napping, so today’s thread is brought to you by the colour thirteen, the number puce, and the total fabulousness of the Numbat
I think I’ve played over 24 hours of Hearthstone Battlegrounds this weekend 😬
Room update. Bed and mattress secured. Ended up going plan A because the bed comes with a headboard which either needs wall support or mounted to a wall (so couldn’t place it against the mirror). Very less space between desk and bed and a bit of wasted space in the corner but I shall downsize the desk and get something smaller. Now to pimp my room.

Bit late for breakfast… I’ll take a 6 pack of of Cooper’s pale ale and a family size bag of twisties please
A buffet of small invertebrates served with delicious sauces as appropriate for the species and some baguette. I am undecided about whether to choose coffee or tea, so maybe chai would be appropriate. This unexpected sunshine is doing my head in.
Tree up, time-lapse completed, front garden tree bow done. Added a blow up Christmas elf and pig to the front garden this year. Kids loved it. Multiple people commented on the walk past. Feels good man.
I’ve bought the 2024 planner and made sure it was a week to view with a task list at the side. (Lost the old one and am using one with a format that doesn’t work well for me.) That’s what has always worked for me, hopefully that corrals some of the stuff rattling around in my brain and helps me keep on top of things again.
And a new wallet because my old one broke - my cards are currently floating around in my bag and my Medicare care is… somewhere.
My finger slipped on a portable table easel and a drawing mannikin to make free postage. 🤫 It’s Xmas. I’ve been eyeing them off and I’ve found that propping the paper up helps a bit. The ebay lap desk I have is honestly more suited to using my laptop, and kind of awkward.
I like the sound of your planner. I find that getting something to work for the whole family is tough… a series of personal digital calendars on different devices all synced is edgy and modern but just doesn’t work well for some of us. The best thing seems to actually be an old-fashioned calendar with really big squares, but there’s nowhere to list important weekly tasks. I’m glad you’ve found a solution!
Yeah, sometimes I don’t know which day I’ll be able to complete a task and get bogged down deciding where to put it. So it helps to just get a week-to-view with the to do list and dump them all on the side so you can easily see the jobs for the whole week and do them as able.
I have a magnetic chore chart on the fridge just for important daily tasks that repetition can blur (ie. marking off the cat’s meds twice a day, tracking her toilet schedule, any daily medication or self care I need) and there is a space at the bottom and top for a couple of weekly tasks, or notes, or reminders. But it is quite a small one and for an individual.
