    After a whirlwind of a day at work finishing up I’m finally on 3 and a half weeks of leave.

    Time to relax and actually give myself some time off to enjoy some R&R and self care.

    Maybe binge some series of things I’ve missed, catch up on some sleeping and do some house chores.

    I think next week I’m going to plan to make fish sandwiches or burgers.

    Lettuce, bread, tartar sauce and batter fish and maybe a sneaky hash brown if I can source some more.

      After everything you’ve been through recently I’m glad you can take a decent chunk of time off to restore your energy levels. Good call on catching up on sleep

        I’ll be glad to sleep in for a bit. My sleeping of late has been horrible and I hope I can fix it up.

        The nice weather for the next week is really going to help having a nice lazy morning with breaky and a coffee.

        I hadn’t made a real coffee in awhile. Maybe need to get back to it.

      Sounds like a great holiday! Fantastic way to spend time off! No commitments, just doing what you want to do. Perfecto!

        I wonder if I’ll be able to finish off any RPGs I’ve got lying around during this time.

        I finally got around to finishing off Xenoblade 3 and now going through the Future redeemed arc.

        Oh I’ll do a little bit but not too much. I did that last year and I think I copped some sunburn.

        Left my sunscreen at work too :(

          The walk will seriously help on SO many fronts - if you could maybe wear long sleeves or go out as the sun’s setting? If anything it will help you catch up on your sleep. It is a good reset for my body when I’m dealing with chronic anxiety, even if the walk itself doesn’t instantly make me feel better, it does help with sleep and that improves everything.

          Duenan, as I prescribed you herring, I now prescribe you a 20 minute stroll in the sunshine per day while you’re off work.

            We’ll see if I can keep to that.

            Oh hey. Got a question for you.

            Do you think it’s ok to throw smoked oysters and herring/kippers into a pot of pasta sauce and how long will the ingredients be ok for if it’s refrigerated after in the pasta sauce?

              You could for sure. I’d be comfortable refrigerating it for the next day, the day after, the day after that id be slightly concerned but still eat it, probably not the fourth day. But shit I’m not a food expert I just eat canned fish
