Sunday Stealing Feels Frustrated

 It's another year, and another chance to do the Sunday Stealing Questions, which I've been doing for over a decade. 

I have to say a word of thanks for the people who keep this running. I feel like I've made a few friends overseas from doing these questions each week. 

Anyway, here's this week's questions. 

1. What would you rather be doing right now?

Really, I'd like to be tied to the couch binging the last season of Stranger Things, but I can't sit still that long. Eddie Munson rules, even if he is dead. 

2. What is always on your grocery list?

Every week there is a 99% chance you'll find these things on there: 

  • Almond milk
  • Chicken breast/tenderloins/thighs, depending on what I feel like cooking. 
  • Salad items. 
  • Sodaly - sugar-free soft drink (soda) in cans. They have a bit of bite to them. Yuzu, guava, blood orange and passionfruit are my favourites - the watermelon is awful. 
  • Cat food/cat treats
  • Gluten free bread/Turkish bread
  • Tissues

3. Have you ever used a fire extinguisher for its intended purpose?

No. Thank goodness. I have fired one off, but that was during fire drill training for one of the companies I was working for where I was a fire warden. (I only offered to do that so I could wear the hat and sing the 'Bob the Builder' song. 

4. How many times did you text yesterday?

Once. I was driving home from Adelaide and texted EJ to see if he wanted a chat while I was driving over the Wimmera. It's dead boring driving between Bordertown and Horsham so it's nice to have a chat with somebody while driving. 

I did message other people on other apps - (Messenger, Instagram DM, Signal, WhatsApp) but for actually text messages through the telephone - just the one./ 

5. Would you prefer a slow-paced, relaxing vacation or one filled with new sights and experiences?

It depends on the holiday I need. As much as I adore exploring new places, foods and other things, sometimes you have to plonk yourself next to a pool in Bali or Thailand, get copious massages and drink plenty of cocktails. I will always explore new things, no matter what.

#1... I am having the opposite problem. I've been sick all weekend and can't get moving or stay awake for long. I've tried to binge a couple of shows and keep falling asleep. I

First off, I'm the one who took over Sunday Stealing this past year, and I thank you for the kind words. There's a player who frequently complains about the questions (too boring, too American) and I admit it gets me down. So I appreciate your mention. ANYWAY, I have two cats on two different diets, so order their food – one gets his from the local pet store and she gets hers from the vet. I bet it's fun to walk down the pet food aisle and choose treats for your kitties.
