Got ol' girl from 42kg to 45 after that silly japan trip hunger strike. Moving away (at least slowly) from intervention for now. That was close though. Still one emergency away from a serious problem.
I've had to lie about what I'm putting in to food (basically doubling down on protein / ensure). When you say what you've done down the sink... Don't say anything.. "oh this is the best one yet". Mind boggles.
I've given up with gentle suggestion doesn't work too frustrating.
Was blamed last night for that weight loss, half a world away. That can get in the fkn bin.
So heading down, gonna start the chilli ferment which I'll bring some to the next DT gathering (if I'm invited, that vodka doesn't drink itself).
Used to work in hospo. Waitstaff have their own way. If it's a big table with some hard to reach spots then just chuck the used dishes somewhere easier to reach on the table but not on the counter (every place is different though).
Successful dins w/ SILs fam last night thankfully. They're a great bunch. All differences put aside w/ bro and sil last night (but for how long).
Brought some chillies along just to pseudo flex. When in indo (where they're from) a few years ago for bro and sils's wedding they were saying indonesian chillies are hotter than australias. Hold my beer. Chillies don't care about borders. Had to ask the wait staff for some milk for them lol.
But the language barrier and how universal humour is, is fascinating.
Turns out sil's aunt is sort of a tycoon, owns a shitload of property over there and offered a free round trip crashing at her places which is something wild to consider (and I am heh).
Wildest thing though was that aunt's kid (20 something) is a DJ and showed me some vids of the parties they throw there (and not in a tourist town). The things I go to here are way more tame than that. I honestly thought indo party scene would be far more conservative.
Not the case.
The more I learn about that culture the more confused I am (in a good way).
Aww..
Embrace the love.
