Let's talk about something serious. How fucking annoying are the nails to cut on the tiniest little piggies. The others no problems. I just whack my feet on the bath and cut away but the little ones I have to sit on the floor, position my feet at a weird angle and cut because they want to curl around my toe. Evolution has a way to go yet. Not looking forward to getting old.

Hot tip for anyone with tough toe nails. Chop them straight after showering. Soaking in water makes them a bit softer and they will be easier to cut.

Bleh. Hot weather and got a headache and been nauseous all day.
Yuck.
I hope it’s only the headache giving me the nausea else I’ve unknowingly caught something.
Zooks hopped up wanting snuggles and breakfast at 3:45. At least I needed a wee anyway...
Hoping I can get some more sleep in, as I don't have to be anywhere until the afternoon.

Heh our call system is very fucky today. Love being worked to the bone and pulled in a thousand directions at once when I can't even take or make calls.
My favourite, what a fantastic Friday /s
Going through music on YouTube and just realised that Tom Petty died a while back.
One of my favourite artists ever and so understated when it comes to 80s-90s music

Being hulled up in my room unable to move has had me homesick for the outdoors for the last couple of days, so I've been watching someone hike the Appalacian Trail in the US and its so soothing. Also really wish we had more stuff like that here, I mean we have some long hikes but nothing like some of the ones they have over there.

so I've never been great with my diet. Just wanted taught any better growing up, and miraculously my BMI's always been pretty average. But recently I've been trying to eat more fruit and "hide" more veg in my meals. I realized the kids gonna grow up and I'll have to set an example, but I admit its been a slow start. Got some blood test results and turns out I might need to pick up the pace a bit. I'm fine in my 30's, but the numbers wont be so fine as I get older. Blood sugar a tad high (but not alarming) and good cholesterol shit bad cholesterol high (didn't know there WAS a good cholesterol). Anyone been in the same boat and got some tips or hacks that helped you on your journey?
Make a clear distinction between ordinary food and celebration food. Make lists even. Ordinary food should be healthy and full of fruit & veg/nutrition etc. in accordance with the guidelines. Limit 'ordinary' alcohol. Celebration food is once a month at most and is anything you desire in whatever quantities. Sugar and chocolate are high on the list of celebration food only. As is pastry. Then go back to ordinary the next day.
Best advice I can give for sticking to a diet is to do 'delicious' rather than 'healthy'. Lots of regional cuisines have recipies for delicious AND healthy food from cheap ingredients.
PS. kelpies are good at disposing of failed experiments. I speak from personal experience here.

It's a double header so you can pick the first one between Scorchers vs Heat because I'll pick the Renegades over the Stars because I'm an idiot.
