Luke Hand Diary

Slept terribly and was wide awake at 3 AM. Should have got up then really. Some weird dreams. Felt weird in the morning and realised I’m that I didn’t take my medication yesterday. That might explain things. Great sunrise this morning. Beautiful colours. Work. Decent day - but hit a wall. I should cut back down on the snacks soon. But as far as vices go, snacking isn’t the very worst. Topless photo of Vegan Davo went pretty viral on Insta. A few messages with Sophie. Had Indian for dinner. Mango lassi was off the chain! Bath with Dettol, bubbles, candles, music, and Shiraz - for National Shiraz day. Thank god it’s Friday tomorrow. M: 5. E: 5. L: 0. 😇😐😑😟

Work. Getting a bit busier, which is good. Fairly good vibe about work lately, mostly (knock on wood). Had a fair bit of pep today, compared to lately. Hopefully I’m on a bit of an upswing - in terms of mood and energy. New Kanye album (I think?) announced today - so excited! Just did a walk with mum after work. Bath, snacks, checking in on my tribe, etc. M: 5.5. E: 6. L: 0. 😀😇😎

Work. Jonty got his POOP shirt. Reaction was a bit confused, I think. Maybe he’ll come around to it. Lockdown extended a week. Pish. Walk with mum and Ash. Trod in dog mess. Had some great hail this afternoon. Froze some snowballs. Ate a bunch of Ice Magic. Had been a while. Saw a wave splash the height of Penguin Island from the back. Very choppy and big waves today. M: 4. E: 4. L: 0. 😐😑😇😆

Work. Horseradish at lunch was delicious. On a walk break, spoke to a cute older lady feeding magpies as reward for singing to her. Spoke with a constable about the homophobic sign - the wheels of justice are moving on having that removed from display. Walk with mum after work. Catch up chat with Sai. Body temp: 36.7. Weight: 78.1. Blood pressure: 129/77. Blood glucose: 7.9. M: 5. E: 5. L: 0. 😐😆

Slept in until after 10.. Been a while since I’ve done that. Watched the McCartney 3, 2, 1 thing. A few good bits. Had an audio flashback to listening to Penny Lane while walking down Harris St towards the bridge. That has to be one of my earlier specific memories of listening to a specific song and just loving it. Would love to know what year that was. Could be either Walkman, discman, or MP3 player era. Day went way too quick. Bumped into [REDACTED] at the supermarket - eek- status quo. Cooked a roast. Night walk to get my rings closed. The frogs are back in the paddock. Ah - so this time last year I was sleeping with the window open so I could hear the frogs. I must have gotten soft in the last year because I now sleep with a hundred blankets - and a closed window. Will get an early night. Average day. Could have done some activities but couldn’t really be effed. M: 4. E: 4. L: 0. 😐😑

Up early. Big walk. Had so many coffees. New Viz. Cooked. Snacks. Nap. Laundry. Straightened up a bit before the boss gets back from QLD late tonight. Loving my book. Loving this Remko Scha album. Loving this podcast series I found - ya man has the soupiest Irish accent. Have to listen at close to 1x to understand him. Did some thinking and: I think I may have to just accept that my friendship with [REDACTED] is NULL now and move on. M: 6. E: 6. L: 0. 😇😐😑😆

Work. Slow day. Did a sage smoking of the home. Watched a kestrel hovering in place over the trail. Looked just like the @ifYouHigh video of recently. So cool. Plants in the garden really came through in the last couple of days. Hope they live and creep and fill that rocky area. Inside plants still ok after being put in soil I think. Nice. Wanted to watch Richmond get thrashed and their era slammed shut - but they’re winning so far. Couple of beers. Might have a bath with some sage. TGIF. M: 6. E: 5. L: 0. 😇

The day that was for Thursday, 15 July 2021.

I’m isolating.

A pretty simple day for National Simplicity Day 2021.
