Parathas is a flat bread. Very buttery and flaky. Someone gave me a packet (frozen) and you just put them on the stove and cook them. They take good, but just like it sounds, it's not very healthy. @Captain24 But it was enough to shut the fire cracker up.
Tonight, my sister told the little one to have her dinner (rice with mince and veges). She said, "It's not good for my health" lol. And she refused to eat it.
Have you read, listened to The Happiest Refugee (Anh Do) before? It's so funny. I've just finished it with my niece. It was too funny. Something light if you are interested.
I can't do noise either, but I guess when you love these kids so much, you can't hate them lol.

They sound good though. Probs can’t get them here! @tyme. I love how you say ‘shut the firecracker up’ There is always room for unhealthy stuff.
How did she come up with that? I can’t wait to hear the stories from her on a long flight!!! 😜
Ive heard of it but haven’t read it. I could add it to the collection of books I have to read that I haven’t read!!!
I don’t know how you do it… I couldn’t cope at all but I guess they aren’t mine so it’s different.
Have you started taking notes for your presentation yet?

LOL. I'll sure write down a list of things when I'm overseas. I'll see if I can post when I'm overseas, but most likely not because of the geo blocker on our servers. @Captain24
The presentation? I have brainstormed in my head but only come up with one line "Let's take a trip down memory lane". That's all lol... so I can't say I'm ready.
I have to check my meds if I have enough. My meds get delivered so I have to ask my doc to ask the chemist to deliver more if I need it. I can't not have one of them because it has serious side effects even if I forget to take one day. It would be good to stop this med altogether, but I'm too fearful of the side effects.
The Happiest Refugee, I listen to it because Anh Do himself reads it and he uses his accent sometimes. It's just so funny. I listen to books on BorrowBox. It's through my local library. So when I want a particular book that they don't have, I just put in a suggestion and the library gets it - physical book or ebook.
I love my local libraries. They are so awesome. So with my library, there are 5 connected branches. I can go to and use any of the 5. They also have kids activities and activities for adults such as water painting, coding, 3D printing, reptile shows, butterfly shows, lego activities...

You need a notebook with Captains list written on it. I’m sure you’ll fill a notebook with just her antics! @tyme
One line is better than nothing. Sounds like you have a lot to do though.
I don’t have that problem, I have all my meds which isn’t helpful at times. That med sounds scary. Sometimes I forget so I’d be in trouble! Hopefully she doesn’t put me on anything like that. Will the doc approve it?
I can’t listen to books because I just zone out and don’t hear it. I have enough trouble reading, I have to reread paragraphs all the time.
I haven’t been to our library in years. I actually use to help mum clean it before they renovated it! They do a lot of kids stuff too.
Im still feeling really really sick. My head is pounding. My face is burning. So I’m going to try and get some sleep. I didn’t sleep very well last night as the thoughts were too loud. Maybe a good night will help. I usually leave the back door open for the dogs but it’s shut now!! Too scared.
Sorry for bailing early but I’ll talk to Wednesday when I get home from work?
Im sorry. Enjoy the rest of your night.

Yeppo! I'll have Captain's book all ready.
I reckon the doc will approve it. I've got my plane tickets to prove it lol.
Please rest up. I hope you feel better soon. Doesn't sound good that you are feeling so ewww.
We'll catch up on Wed!
Rest up.

I’m going off one med and going onto another plus one has been added. I have so much medication in the house. So much. Plus the new one is $113!

I’m not sure that they would do it @Bow. Right now there is too many and too much changing. Like slowly reducing and slowly adding. But it’s also hard to pick them up with my work roster and I can’t have them delivered as they won’t deliver if you’re not home. Maybe with the changes it all improve and it won’t be a problem. I am going to lock the excess away.

I’ve got 17 pills in mine at the moment, and need to add 2 more. My Webster pack ladies are so good. They change things quickly and with no fuss. They understand things change @Captain24 and I know @tyme has spoke before about still getting their meds webster packed.
