I did absolutely nothing right making this, so I'm very happy with how it came out!

A round loaf of bread is pictured on a bread sling in front of a light blue crockpot. It has a golden brownish colour and crusty outer.

A cross section of the loaf. It has a couple of large air bubbles, but is a recognisable loaf of bread.

I had my flu shot today at work. An hour later my fave started to itch, and now my eyes are swollen :(

Or of noise since one worked nights, etc etc. even though it's my house, nothing was really set up optimally for me. Now I can adjust things to work better for me, and it's just...good.

It's been over a week of living on my own and honestly I did not realise how much just...background stress I had coming from sharing my space. Its not that they (brother and his partner) were particularly difficult to get along with, more constantly aware of when people needed spaces

But like...for my first time doing anything bready, first time doing bagels AND of course I went with a protein bagel recipe instead of a normal one because that's how I am...I'm really happy with the result!

Vaguely bagel-shaped dough resting on baking paper. A damp tea towel is in the background.

Boiled bagels on baking paper in an oven tray, waiting to be baked. They are topped with sesame seeds.

Baked bagels cooling on a rack. The front four are covered in sesame seeds, and the back three in spicy everything seasoning.

The fourth spicy everything bagel with a bite taken out of it.

Ok so! I may have failed in getting the amount of starter I had right so I split it, fed half, and added some yeast in and crossed my fingers.

120

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

This may also have been partially motivated by me wanting something to eat my pate with that isn't carrots our hummus chips

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

I may have acquired a sourdough starter. I'm hoping to have a crack at bagels. I haven't made them before but I do love a good bagel, so...

A jar is held up containing a bubbly sourdough starter. A purple rubber band around the jar shows the starting point before it began to rise. It is getting close to being double in height.

I got another, slightly better video of one of my springtails. The red ones are bigger, slower, and don't jump. You can see movement in the background of some white ones but I haven't been able to get anything of them. I did notice a baby red one though!

010

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Poor baby! I bet she'll feel a whole lot better soon though

010

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

On the plus side I got to watch this little guy having fun exploring #springtails #redspringtail #terrarium

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Anyway, 5 hours after I was meant to finish the errors with how it was combining data sources have been fixed and it's reuploaded. I don't think it is calculating data correctly, but that is a logic issue with how the data is being used, and beyond what I was aiming to do 🤷‍♀️

120

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

The report is a hot mess, and each thing we sorted unearthed another issue. This is because the person who initially built it added in datasets when they were still in refinement phase, not live so as soon as additional data was added it crapped itself

120

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

I'm pooped. An important report broke at work and my manager thought she may have found the issue but doesn't have power bi desktop. I do because I need it to do something no one else knows how to do (yes also concerning) so we got me access to the report and off we went

Just some fuzzy photos through condensation of one of my terrariums #terrarium #bioactive #springtails

A photo of a terrarium. Most of the view is distorted by condensation, but through clear sections a pink frilly fittonia is visible, as well as some moss and greenery

A photo of a terrarium. Most of the contents are obscured but through clear sections a fittonia with green leaves and pink veining is visible, along with moss and a frond of selaginella erythropus showing the dark red underside

The lower edge of a terrarium is show. Moss and rocks are visible, as well as layers of soil. A tiny red bug is shown near the rocks - it is a red springtail.

A shot of a terrarium. Condensation distorts most of the view, but some brown-green leaves are visible. They look like they have small hairs growing on the top side of them. This is Solanum evolvulifolium ‘Peru’.

My trip to ikea was successful but it turns out I have vastly underestimated the number of jars I will need

020

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

I also think my red springtails have been breeding in my lamp terrarium, which is exciting! They're fun to watch cruise around. I'd like to get some isopods but I'm not sure what size of a vessel they would need. Fish tank maybe?

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Trimming encourages growth so if there's any life left in it that will help. I'm having some success with that method with a kokedama I'm trying to revive at the moment, but popping some fresh stuff in would be faster obviously

110

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Had to trim this little baby back for the first time, the fittonia in particular was going bonkers. Unfortunately the base moss did not survive being posted for the most part - debating whether to trim, or remove and replace.

A terrarium made out of a cloche is shown, with a mass of pink fittonia in the base at the front. Moss and two varieties of ivy climb up the glass.

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Tomorrow will be a run to ikea for an entertainment unit and food storage. Maybe some jars for terrariums

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

I don't have clinical pilates because public holiday which is probably a good thing, my right wrist is on struggle street today

010

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

i have finished clearing out the pantry and arranging it how I want it, and gone through cabinets to unearth more of my brother's things. I haven't braved the tupperware cupboard. I'm having a cup of tea while the vacuum does it's thing and trying to find the energy to paint the high window 🥴

110

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

I want to downsize, partially to reduce my mortgage and partially to reduce maintenance needed. I don't have the energy to keep up with the garden, which makes me really sad. If I can find a place with a courtyard and just do pots I'll be happy

010

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

It's a bit of a weird feeling because for the last...idk, 14 or 15 years I've kind of been Alex's safety net. A lot of the choices I've made in that time have been at least partially made with his needs in mind. He's in a stable relationship now though and I'm so ready to step back

110

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

As of yesterday my brother and his partner have moved out! The place looks like a bomb has gone off and they're still ferrying stuff across over the next few days, but step 1 has happened

110

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Had another flare up so steroids again for me. When I was given the script the doc commented on how it's a waste since there's 30 in the bottle and I only need 3. I'm down to 18 now though so... 🥴

000

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

That's just for managing this, not including other health costs or incidental purchases made for pain management or support. $305 a fortnight/ pay cycle. I am lucky enough that I can afford it but jfc. What are people who can't meant to do? 4/4

000

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

What is frustrating is the cost associated though. Per fortnight: $150 for health insurance (primary reason is future proofing due to issues I now know are linked to this) $66 for physio (will be higher when I hit claimable limit) $15 for antihistamines $74 clinical pilates starting mid april 3/?

100

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Long story short, found a doctor who specialises in chronic pain conditions. Have a diagnosis of HSD. Blood tests also had an 'uh oh' result for tryptase so I'm on daily antihistamines to try to manage that. Sucks but it explains a lot and I'm hoping will mean better management in the future. 2/?

100

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Need to rant so jumping on here for a sec. I've had some health stuff going on for a while. It's stuff I've raised with my normal doc before but he was largely unconcerned/dismissive which is frustrating because he's generally been pretty good in terms of other chronic issue management. 1/?

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 14/07/2024

And! Deadloch is officially getting a season 2

010

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 14/07/2024

I saw Twisters and it had the trailer for the next Venom movie in it, and Space Oddity was used heavily so I left the cinema a happy little camper~~

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 04/06/2024

Highlight of the last couple of weeks has been my little supervisor keeping me company during some very stressful work situations.

A calico cat is laying on the shoulder of her owner, who is sitting at a work desk. She is staring intently at where the monitor would be.

140

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 26/05/2024

Divvy is being Divvy. She loves pats and starts rolling around on excitement sometimes, which makes giving her the pats difficult. Skye is puzzled by this behaviour.

A calico cat is laying belly up between her owner's legs on a recliner and is giving crazy eyes. A blue heeler dog is standing at the end of the recliner closely observing the cat, looking confused.

030

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 10/05/2024

Now because I am mostly WFH I can adjust my environment and depending on the severity adjust what meds I take, so a decent amount of the time I can work through or work part of the day. I have over a week of sick leave built up for possibly the first time in my working life.

020

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 10/05/2024

Honestly though, WFH has made such a big difference for me. I used to have to leave as soon as I was sure I had a migraine developing because it would get to a point where I couldn't drive. At least one migraine a month meant I never had sick leave to use.

120

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 10/05/2024

Benefit of working from home: when you feel crappy if you have no meetings booked you can just stay in your PJs, and use your lunch break for a nap. I may have plans for my lunch break.

120

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 09/05/2024

There's been points here where you could be reported and fined for watering lawns, or cleaning cars other than windows, mirrors or lights. =/ I have lawn (pre-existing) but it gets rainwater and nothing else, and if it dies, oh well

010

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 09/05/2024

I spent most of yesterday napping in a dark room but at one point I woke up and 🥹 they're becoming buddies!

A ragdoll is sprawled partially belly up on a bed. A smaller calico cat is pressed against his side, her face turned up towards the camera.

040

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 09/05/2024

Two weeks of this headache means I get to do x-rays, MRIs and blood tests again. On the downside the blood test is fasting (why is it always fasting) but on the plus side I will take myself out for brunch after. 🫠

000

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 06/05/2024

We are at the point of co-habiting on the bed, and there have been some attempts at playing together and grooming from both of them :)

A calico cat is curled up on a bed with a ragdoll also laying on the bed approximately 30cm apart. A mirror shows the reflection of the cats on the bed, and also a cattle dog laying on the floor next to the bed.

030

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 03/05/2024

I am on day two with a migraine and I think it's starting to fade but not entirely sure. I also have an eye test in like four hours so that will be fun.

120

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 26/04/2024

On the downside because I am working with roughly 100 different criteria in a form whenever I figure out how to do something I need to go through each one and make the relevant change 🫠

010

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 26/04/2024

I am self teaching powerapps atm because it has a lot of potential for a key area I'm involved in at work which is both interesting and extremely tiring because my brain just does not like formulas. I have figured out how to do some cool things though!

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 25/04/2024

Betsy looks like she has landed on her feet and knows it! What a gorgeous girl 🥰

020

Farsie @farseeker.bsky.social · 25/04/2024

Yep, I researched it before even requesting a meet and greet to make sure I could give her the level of care she deserves! Thank you for the reassurance though, reading an article vs hearing it from another person with experience is a bit different haha
