Watched a couple of simpsons eps, joined the work fam for a lovely lasagna dinner and hot apple cake dessert, was almost asleep at the table. Now am in bed with a cup of sleepy tea, listening to the falling rain and return of the kind audiobook. May or may not make it to the end of the chapter.. πŸ₯±πŸ˜΄

Hand stings. Grabbed a handful of bush lawyer by accident today and ripped up three fingers. 😭

I had one of those days when many little things were adding up to make me really very annoyed and frustrated and ragey to the point of nearly crying.. then a few kea flew over when I was very nearly finished and.. well then I was okay again. Now I am a sleepy bean and will be having an early night..

It is feeecking cold. Went to the local pub quiz and had to sit outside. One of my ankles and one only is particularly very cold. I am now in bed and trying to get warm and have my heater on and it's just. Cold. Can't wait for my own big feather duvet to arrive 😭😭😭πŸ₯ΆπŸ₯ΆπŸ₯Ά

Mmmm, avocado on toast(ed english muffin)

I get to wear my new merino bra to work tomorrow and I am very excited. The sports one from macpas that I've had has been good but. My boobs are excited for merino for this cold cold weather πŸ˜‚

I don't understand why, when I cast from disney to my tv, it crashes SO FREAKING OFTEN to the point that I can't even control it anymore. Both of these companies are multi billion dollar giants. Their tech should not be this buggy.

RaukΕ«mara Pae Maunga is an iwi led restoration of Te RaukΕ«mara Ngahere, The largest native forest from Maunga to Moana in the North Island. Three years of consecutive 1080 drops means that the forest is finally starting to recover. 1080 works. 🌏πŸ§ͺ www.instagram.com/p/DKoED9opmQ...

Trying to organise/make sense of the massive pantry that upwards of a dozen people regularly use.. it was a complete disaster with multiples of open things and random stuff everywhere. So now trying to decide what's a 'logical' way to put stuff back so it might keep some sort of order for a while..

My personal kaupapa ❀️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #Aotearoa #NZ

Just randomly burst into tears because I thought about how much my mama would love this job for me and how much she would love to hear all the little things I've been getting up to. Ah man. Still miss you my mama.

Currently trying to decide whether I feel sick or feel hungry. I was planning to cook dinner for the crew tonight but if I'm feeling sick I probably shouldn't.. hmm..

My art gallery wall featuring the art from my #MWSecretSantaAoNZ.. have put a few other pieces up around as well.. one day I should how many birds there actually are in my room πŸ˜‚

I have a set playlist on youtube I just named 'weekend music' which are songs I love but don't own, and I play it.. most weekends, while I'm bumbling about the house doing bits and pieces. I always play it in order, and my brain has started anticipating the next song, which I love..

Damn, I don't know where my cute little europe sketches and things are, I thought they were in my art gallery box but this one is just birds and things. Might have to set up a different part of the wall fo europey things later on.

Okay, it is time! I have opened my present and omgosh, thank you my #MWSecretSantaAoNZ! I didn't have much Christmassy stuff here so this was the best I could do for an opening set up. (The kiwi is part of my present)

I did go to bed early (on time for a good work schedule) but woke up ridiculously early (before 6am) and then eventually went back to sleep and have just gotten to being awake again. Will go get myself some breakfast and a cuppa and then open my present!

Shamelessly resharing my latest @forbes.com article because I'd love to get some eyes on it. If you live in a city and/or are interested in nature, you might enjoy it 😊πŸ§ͺπŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬ www.forbes.com/sites/laurie...

I think I'm gonna have to wait til the morning to open my secret santa gift so I can be a responsible adult and try to maintain my sleep schedule. Even tho I keep waking up SO EARLY. like.. rood! Let me sleep!

Oh my god... watching josie and the pussycats... and oh my god it's alan cumming. I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid πŸ˜‚

Living in the remote west coast be like: gotta go to the queenstown for the weekend just to make it to the optometrist.. πŸ˜‚

I went to the shop earlier to get some english muffins. I got tea and cider and two bottles of wine. And no english muffins. Dammit.

Booo, floury apple 😭

Literally just saw someone say 'I hate when you ask a person a question ONE TIME and they take it as an invitation to talk to you leave me alone I'm not interested!' Like... how do you expect to ever make any human connection if you don't talk to people more than one time?

I saw my kea, I took many photos and videos, I came back inside and had the coffee and cookies I was in the process of getting when I heard the kea, and now I am back in bed and ready to sleeeep. Just as well I have today off!

KEA THERE'S A KEA I KNEW I HAVE HEARD KEA I HAVE BEEN AWAKE FOR AGES AND FINALLY WENT OUT FOR A LOOK AND THERE IS A KEA

Someone asked me if I had plans for my day off tomorrow and I was like oh yea I'm going to the library and I'm going to get a hot chocolate and I'm going to do my laundry. That's it. That's the plans. I also think I'll try cook shared dinner and maybe looking at cleaning/conditioning my work gear.

I am tempted just to.. flop on top of my bed and go to sleep. I am in oodie and warm comfy pjs. Going to bed seems like too much effort rn.

I need to get a large package from feilding to franz josef and it is proving a bit of a logistical challenge. Mostly because I was stupid and forgot my sister was coming to by brother's place and could have brought a suitcase for ME to pick up from my brother. I just want my duvet! πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚

Why do I keep getting the same pornbot follower called lily? I have blocked several just this afternoon

Disney did that thing where it restarted an episode that I was halfway through and I couldn't be bothered trying to get it back to the right spot so I was like 'hmm, can I have a shower in the time before it catches up to where I left off?' The answer was yes. Almost exactly πŸ˜‚

We had a team meeting this morning and they did the 'tell us a fun fact about yourself' for us newbies, and I was like.. I literally can't remember a single thing about myself. My mijd is blank. Who am I. Lol

I mean yea it's annoying and uncomfortable to have an eye infection but I guess there are worse ways to spend a rainy Wednesday evening than lying in bed with your eyes shutting listening to andy serkis read the return of the king..

Bleh. Definitely a bit icky. I'm assuming it's an infection and not an injury. It doesn't look pretty and it hurts to blink. Hoping it'll kind of sort itself out a bit but otherwise am due to go to the doctor on friday so 🀞

Uuugh, I think I might have given myself an eye infection 😭

Yay! My hold on the andy serkis version of the return of the king audiobook has finally come through! Good night and sweet dreams, everybody!

I think I have successfully spent my first 'long weekend' that's actually functioned like a long weekend. Housework, a pizza party, a bike ride, a nighttime drive around the area, a bush walk, and a captain america marathon. Now an extra short work week and another long weekend. I think I got this.

I'm still trying to figure out the breakfast and lunch sitch with shared food. I am so used to buying what I need for a specific length of time and knowing it's going to be there for that length of time/number of meals. Now it's like.. if I get this cereal and fruit and yoghurt will it last? Hmm..
