The 'I need a distraction' thread.

I imagine we made up the name.
Like how 'apple' is different in other languages.

The card was perfect, Dawn. I am going to try and read it frequently.

I'm so glad you got outside and had a nice lunch, Jen. I hope your lie down gives you a bit of a boost or at least feels ok.

Are some parts of your house generally cooler, Tamo? I'm sad you're having to cover up on such a nice day. Although I am wearing a jumper right now.

Houmous is weird.

[Cacoethes]

I loooove houmous!
I nearly got some today but couldn't work it into my budget sadly!

[one_step_closer]

Oh, that's a shame. I hope you can have it sometime soon. Have you ever made it from scratch?

[one_step_closer]

In other news I got up in the middle of the night to cook onion rings.

[Cacoethes]

I have!
It's SO easy to make!.

Lol. I've donw things like that.
Usually when i have the zoomies.
I once made mac and cheese, with the cheese sauce from scratch!

[one_step_closer]

Mac and cheese in the middle of the night? That's adventurous!

I'm always snacking through the night but don't have much in so onion rings seemed to be the only option.

[Cacoethes]

Yep!
I'm pretty sure the purple bread attempt was also in the middle of the night

Fair enough!

My bedroom is the hottest part of the house in summer, the coldest in winter.

[one_step_closer]

Night time is not for cooking, you'd get bad points on that in a fire risk assessment!

That sounds very annoying, Tamo.

[Cacoethes]

My house generally stays a pretty neutral temperature.

I know. But when you're awake all night, what else can you do?!

[tamobhuuta]

It's better since I got a duel heater/cooler machine, and I've got blankets and hot water bottles for winter. Summer is worse.

[Cacoethes]

Yeah summer is always worse!

[tamobhuuta]

There were a few days last summer when I had to sleep downstairs, even with my cooling machine!

[long road]

I managed to rest just about. Didn't sleep though. Lay down and listened to some music but my mind was racing and full of thoughts and I kept shifting about. Still better than doing things for my body.

Going to attempt to roleplay tonight as we are having our first Friday game in almost a month (different people from the group keep being unavailable and we are on the final mission so we don't want anyone to miss a session). Last session finished with us accidentally disturbing a meeting of some alien robots so we shall see how hard a fight it is.

[Cacoethes]

I tried sleeping on the floor and sofa in the heat last year. Only one night was bad though.
I need to get a new fan.
I used jasmine's when i was at mum's (their house gets ridiculously hot) and it was amazing! It actually blew cold air, not just moved warm air about!
Was from costco. So hopefully I'll be able to afford one soon!

Hope you manage it jen!

[long road]

I concur that being hot is much worse than being cold. Cold is much easier to fix than hot.

[tamobhuuta]

Gotta love Costco!

I'm glad you got a bit of rest LR, and I hope you get to do your role playing this evening.

[one_step_closer]

I just complain whether it's hot or cold!

I hope your sort of rest allows you to manage role play, Jen.

[Cacoethes]

It really is. You can always put more layers on, there's only so many you can take off without being arrested...

Apparently it's gonna get up to 21°c tomorrow.
I'll have to wear jogging bottoms over my dobok bottoms, and a jacket over the top.
Because people really like to stare when you're walking around in a dobok.
I'm going to be rather warm i think!
