It was a guy called Graham Kerr, who had a show on Canadian TV where he cooked in front of a live audience while giving a running commentary. He was pretty hyperactive and did a lot of rushing around. They used to broadcast the show on UK TV in the early evening in the 1970s.

I always preferred The Urban Peasant. :nerdy:

I get Linda McCarney vegetarian country pies from Sainsbury's, but I'm wary of microwaving them because it doesn't mention that way on the box and I sense it could go horribly wrong. Thing about heating them in the oven is that by the time the middle is hot, the crust is burnt. And they take ages, and I don't like waiting for food when I'm hungry. Life can be really cruel sometimes. :cry:

If what I do is unsustainable, then why am I far from burning out?
Even further from feel like I'm going to fall ill?

Well, it's only unsustainable if it's actually unreasonable.
Like full on neglecting myself. Not through necessarily stress anymore, but from actual hunger, thirst and lack of sleep.

Again it's been a month.
It's quite an adjustment.

So far I'm seeing tiny contrasts that I wanna solve for good; like that stupid rushing. Or that stupid prioritization issue.
Or that damnable lack of info because people assumed what I thought is what they thought when I'm uninformed. :roll:


Well, it's not any worse than, say, technicians installing the wrong AC unit into the workplace. :lol: :lol: :lol:


But that's not the point.
I'm still sensing more subtle stuff I've yet to reveal. And still hunting it down as per side quests.



Really, does it really take me this far to function without feeling like I shouldn't push through?
It's not yet close to the way how I wanted it but it's waaaay closer than I usually do -- by usual meaning the damnable sick version of me.

I've said some pretty gross things in order to be seen as funny. I apologize.

I do wish the sh*tbags upstairs would just move into a council house already.

If I were them I would be, as they have two young kids (a boy and a girl), usually families like that are prioritized housing. But they seem happy up there so maybe they're not bothering to put themselves on any council lists. We're on the council waiting list but we have less chance than they do of being given somewhere else.

This is one of my favourite videos on Youtube, even though he's American he still is describing exactly the same nightmare as I'm having. Only thing is at least he gets a break as his upstairs neighbours do go out. Ours don't ever go out, even on hot sunny weekend days like today. So there is no respite for us unless we go out ourselves.



I don't normally post Youtube videos as nobody really watches them :lol: , but it's too accurately true not to share.
