I haven't achieved much today but I've turned black bananas into banana choc chip muffins and they're delicious.
Banana bread again here!
Double batch banana bread here. One for lunch boxes for the week and the other I'll slice and freeze.
I want to get off this wild ride
Alright, I'm getting there. Spent the whole day carefully going through every last drawer and cupboard for stuff to donate. No time for fb marketplace although I could've made some decent coin off some of these - especially a couple of vintage bakeware items and an almost new vintage Corningware dish. I got em all for free so some op shop will benefit instead.
Two carloads later, between those and the remaining plants/pots, and the big shit that won't fit in the bin, and pillows/towels for the RSPCA - and the tables sold on FBM - that's a lotta crap gone. Gotta love these Honda hatchbacks with Tardis-like volume and the magic seats 😀
Now to pack the remaining stuff for the movers to take tomorrow, mainly the kitchen stuff. The end is in sight...!
You got this! You have formidable talents for organisation.
In an ideal world I would've spent a bit more time looking for nicer places, and maybe planned to cull over a longer period and sold more stuff online... but this is also OK! I get to focus on my uni stuff a lot sooner.
I would aboslutely not have gotten this far without the help of friends, though.
So close! You've been through a hell of a lot the last few weeks. Hopefully you can have some peace soon :)

Dinner's ready! Lasagne and a stupidly large amount of salad.
I thought things would get easier with sunny weather but they’re still really hard. My mood is dipping really low and I’ve not been sleeping well. It’s bad.
I’m noticing the zucchini are wilting a bit in the heat. Makes sense. They’re growing fast but their roots aren’t reaching down to the bottom of the big pots yet, so they would be getting a bit dry.
I was thinking of some drip spikes or terracotta pots used as ollas but that requires ordering stuff. I don’t really want to get it delivered in case of theft and don’t want to pester someone to get it for me. I did see buried plastic bottles with pinpricks in them used for the purpose so I can make do with what I already have. It’ll also be a lot cheaper.
spoiler
(The water bottles are for the high pain/fatigue days when I can barely get out of bed. I feel bad about it and never used to buy bottled water but right now am kind of just doing what I can to get by.)

G.B.H. gig this month. I can’t do it. I can’t watch crusty old dudes trying to re-live in glory days. Doesn’t matter what band it is.
I dropped the pill cutter and half an antibiotic tablet has disappeared into thin air…
I find tablets when I move the fridge for cleaning, it's a pharmacy under there!
I looked with a torch before but don’t see it… it does need a clean underneath though. I’m debating whether moving it is worth the risk of injury
It's not worth it. It'll just get dirty again. Have a cup of tea instead.

Spent a lot of time practising piano and counting is still hard. But at least I'm getting a tiny bit better. Will practise more tomorrow and hopefully the bars I keep stuffing up will come.
I find tapping my foot or (as silly as it sounds) nodding my head to the beat I'm trying to hold helps a lot.
