You know, I think I'm going to start asking myself the difficult questions, like is a pizza really worth $50?

America is going to get a lot healthier because people won't be able to afford restaurants. Pretty soon it's going to be nothing but ramen.

I mean, not the way I eat.

I was talking to my psychologist and mentioned I tend to overeat. He's like, "Why do you think you do that?"

And I say, "Because I'm a f***ing excellent cook and my food is delicious."

Speaking of, you should try my ramen, it's awesome.

My food is delicious as well, but we have the option of preparing the correct amount of food. Restaurants always give too much, and it is prepared in the worst possible way and with max calories.

I specialize in maybe 8 or 9 meals, and my wife does the rest. I may not have great variety, but what I cook is excellent. My wife and daughter's favorite is the Cajun Chicken Alfredo, and Guido's is my chicken and rice. Being Italian, three of my meals are pasta meals. Throw some Chicken Kiev, some Country Fried Steak, and some Beef Stroganov in there. Ah, four pasta meals. I forgot Fried Spaghetti. Eh, I actually have more meals than I thought. I'll smoke meat for BBQ, fix steaks and meatloaf, etc.

As for ramen, I enjoy it, but just get it from the store.

Black on bottom of foot could also have been from dye in socks. I generally don't tend to wear socks for 2 weeks straight so maybe. It doesn't hurt. Area behind toes and along side my foot is still all bruised.
I put moisturiser on my foot yesterday, looks better now.



Last weekend my mother finally ordered new chest of drawers and a side table for her room, I have been waiting for her to do it as I have been using the same chest of drawers for 25 years and I will happily accept new free furniture. Downside is I need to empty my drawers this week and I don't really have anything to put the stuff into.

Ideally I move the new drawers into room and just swap stuff across. I can do that for one of them but not enough room to put the other in without moving mine first.

If I didn't have a recovering foot it would be easy, just carry the full drawers out to another room and move the stuff back into new drawers, one drawer at a time.

Packing boxes would be easier, all mum has managed so far is a few paper bags.,.. works for clothes but not PC hardware.
Chest of drawers has 8 drawers

• 4 of the drawers are full of spare pc parts. Some of the computer parts are unknown, especially cables. Some are hdd I took out of old PC. I have lots of PC fans lol. its mostly all parts that came with previous PC. I have so little space for this stuff that the box with all the parts for my new PC is still behind the PC. Probably need to blindly throw some cables out. Bet I need them the week later... 2 Hessian bags full of power cables for my last two PSU. Necessary things like that.
• Other 4 drawers are empty now. Two had a bunch of old Black Heavy Metal T Shirts in it, one is a broken drawer that won't open and the other one was just full of assorted crap. I haven't unpacked these drawers in over 25 years. They have memories in them that may not have an actual value/use now. I need to find somewhere for this. Mum thinks its crap... but then its not hers.

Most of my clothes I wear are in another room., The Heavy Metal T shirts only in here as there is nowhere else for them. One or two of them are worth something, rest are just memories.

While Colif is preparing for a heat wave, we might have to keep our kid home tomorrow if the snow prevents her teacher from getting to school. It's been a couple of years I think since we had a decent amount of snow, let alone enough snow to impact traffic to this extent.

Holy $h!t. I woke up, came down to my computer. I woke it up to check the time, and it was 3:40 pm. It was probably 6 or 7 am when I finally went to sleep, but I expected only to sleep a couple of hours.

My sleeping problem is mostly over. I'm back to having my normal level of insomnia. Unless I feel tired tonight, I probably won't bother trying to go to sleep since I slept so late today.

Well, I just learned something interesting about pretzel salt. I thought there was really no difference between pretzel salt and regular coarse salt. They are both just salt. But once I actually used pretzel salt, I realized there was a big difference. I happened to have some (long story), and I decided to use it on a baked potato I was getting ready to bake, and it was immediately obvious that pretzel salt is different. It stuck to the potato far better than regular coarse salt, and none of it dissolved.

So I asked CoPilot, and as it turns out--naturally, pretzel salt is manufactured to do just that. It is compressed into tiny, uniform cubes that better attach to wet surfaces, and the compression makes it resistant to dissolving. It is crunchier, and it is also lighter because each cube is hollow.

From now on, that's what goes on my potatoes.

Today didn't seem to get as hot inside as previous years. It got to 37c and minimum tonight is only 19c, but not having Water cooling means the PC doesn't slowly get warmer over the course of the day, and it also cools down a lot faster. Games would probably overheat room but I am busy packing the contents of my drawers into boxes, and games can wait a few days until I have unpacked the boxes back into my new drawers.

All drawers are empty now, if I had two working feet I would have moved it by now. Its being disposed of since I have a replacement. I will take the drawers out at some stage before Saturday so my mum/brother can move it out. I think that is the plan, mum seems to change it on a hourly basis.
A friend is coming over on Saturday to help move some things, so I know he helping move mums out, not sure where mine will be by then. Its not that heavy once you take drawers out.
There is a hole in the back of at least one side of frame as I knocked it out 25 years ago to let the cables of a fish tank pump to run out back of drawer and up to the 4 foot fish tank that used to sit on the drawers. Its one more step away from owning fish (they too expensive now).
Anyway, hole will make gripping it easier from behind.

Will be nice to move it as I can then vacuum behind it and see what has fallen down there over the years. I see spiders webs but thats a given here. I ignore spiders if I don't see them - we have 10 000 species of spider here, better just not knowing if you want to sleep at night. Only ones I say No to are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntsman_spider even though they mostly harmless to me, I just don't

I tried to walk earlier, took a few steps, heal was complaining which seemed odd, then front of foot started to hurt and I took advice of all the websites I read about this and stopped as you don't want to push self. I should have known after 7 weeks of not using foot. I have another Doctors Appointment on Saturday so I ask them about exercises and try to think to ask for pain killers this time.
