I am currently at a Bendigo bank doing this. Not sure how long I have but the program is telling me it will be another hour. I have my doubts, or I don't really think it will go that long as I don't have that much patience and I will kill it after about 30 minutes or so if it does not appear to be progressing. I have to sign an agreement that I let it run to the end, but I don't care. What are they going to do, have me run it again.
Anyway, we had sausages and chicken wings for Father's Day. I cooked them on the BBQ. They weren't bad. I also cooked a steak for me and Juanita. It was not good. It was not bad, but it did not come out the way I wanted it to, and it was tough. You cannot really buy good meat in the supermarkets. You have to go to a butcher, but they want an exorbitant price for it there, sometimes more than twice as much, so I tend to stay away from getting that. I had lots of it. I don't remember what kind it was but I got it from Costco so there was a lot. It had a bit of gristle running through it so it made it tough to eat. I only had one big piece, there were four altogether. Juanita ate some that night and then ate the rest of the next day. I was saving it for something else but she got to it first. Not that I minded that much as it was not that good, but she enjoyed it so I suppose everything worked out.
For some reason, we had lots of wings left. Not sure why as I thought they were better than normal. I make some good wings but I sometimes don't put enough sauce on them. They still taste good but are lacking in sauce. I had extra sauce left over and I used it to cook something a few days later, I don't remember what, and the sauce was bitter. I think maybe that was the problem with so much being left over. That or the fact that no one was there to eat. No one turned up for Father's Day. Not that I expected them to but we invited several people over for a BBQ and all of them said yes and then cancelled. I expected as much but I had the food just in case. So we had sausages and chicken wings the next day.
I made a big salad also but only Juanita and I ate it. We had it for a couple of days after that also. Shayla was there, and Adam but Anna left and the others did not show. We ate outside and I think we might have more meals outside. The problem is, we have to have it during the day because there is no light out there and when it starts to get warm enough to have meals outside at night, the bugs will be out. It limits what we can do outside. And the dogs have covered the back yard in dog poop. I think I have mentioned this before but I have never seen two dogs make so much poop. It is everywhere. I am afraid it will start to smell when the weather gets warmer but we will have to see. Not something to look forward to.
We never made it to the market. But as that is not until tomorrow, we can understand why. Actually, I have decided we are not going to go tomorrow. We will wait for the holidays and go then. Probably be way more crowded and we will have to leave early to get there but I think that will be best. It is something for us to do during the school holidays. We will also go to Dreamworld and maybe even Waterworld but it might still be too cold for that. It should be good none the less. Now that Maeghan has decided she can ride the rides again, Dreamworld is more fun. Who knows, maybe I will even give it a go sometime. I could use a good heart attack about now. Not that I think it will give me one but it will make my head spin more than it usually does and I might wish I was only having a heart attack.
I've been getting dizzy a lot lately, just from bending over or turning quickly. It is not yet a worry, but it is getting there. Plus, I think I have to try to lose weight again. I have tried and stopped so many times, I had decided I would no longer worry about it. But I am having trouble sleeping lately and I get angina every time I eat. I am not sure if it is related but if I don't do something, I am afraid of it getting worse.
Juanita and I have taken to walking to the shops once a week. It is about 4k to the shops and I have to rest many times on the way there. We take the bus back but I am hoping if we can do it more often, we will develope a tolerance to it. Probably another failed attempt, it is just too far, but nothing else if really close to walk to and I like to have a destination to go to instead of just walking for walking sake. I could take the dog for a walk but that is a lot of trouble and we only walk to the dog park. It is only about 300 meters away so it doesn't really do any good. It is fun for him and he always has a good time running in the park, even if he mostly just sits beside me when we get there.
I think I am starting to ramble a lot, what a surprise, so I am thinking of making this a short entry for the first time in a long time. This computer program still says it has 30 minutes left but I am probably going to kill it what it reaches about 80% complete. Then I have the long drive home. I was sort of planning on picking Maeghan up but she is going to the museum or something after school and I don't know how long she will be there. Some Disney exhibit is there. The Brisbane thing is still going on. It will continue for another month. Not sure what it planned for it or what is happening each day but when I drove to here, I saw some things that had been set up near the big wheel. Big balls with lights in them. That is where the opening ceremony was supposed to be the other day when we were there. Not sure what it is or if anything is planned for there but it might be good to see it close up. But, then again, I am too tired to stop by. It is right next to where Maeghan will be but I would have to find parking and walk to the things and that does not seem like a lot of fun. Since I was just starting to talk about getting more exercise it would make sense for me to go but if Juanita found out we went without her, she would be mad. So I probably won't go.
I am going to go now. I need to finish up my paperwork, close up this box and get out of here. I just had the employees walk by and stare at me. Not sure why. This usually only takes an hour and it has already been an hour. The computer says it has 25 minutes to go but I need to end it. I guess this will be all for this one. Maybe get another on Friday.
So, until next time,
Later
