Let Down

I have developed a terrible memory. Every time that something funny happens that I want to tell you about, I have been forgetting it by the time I hit the keyboard. It must be my old age setting in, and has led to me skipping a couple of days blogging, simply because I can't think of anything interesting to tell you.
Today I did hardly anything, apart from scaring myself awake by touching my arm that had pins and needles and thinking it was someone else. Since that lovely awakening, I have watched some Game of Thrones, discovered that my new jeans had a sticker on the inside and had to peel it painfully from my butt, and made a short trip outside (where I nearly froze, and rushed back inside.) To make up for todays lack of interesting events, I will instead tell you of my new mission to eat everything in my fridge and cupboard. (Well, almost everything.)
This may sound like a mission deigned to make me fat, but it's actually designed to stop wastage and temptation. As of Monday I will be undertaking the 5 day 'live below the line' challenge. For anyone that doesn't know what this is, it means that from Monday until Friday this week, I will be feeding myself for $2 or less a day, which is the national extreme poverty figure, giving me a total of $10 to survive the week. Challenge accepted. It is designed to raise both awareness and funds for those who aren't as lucky as a lot of us are, and let me tell you, planning a menu on that kind of budget is definitely a challenge, and by the end of next week, I will surely be sick of carrots and 2 minute noodles (my lunch every single day.) I will actually get to eat reasonably well if I plan my shopping carefully, but my goodness am I going to miss my sweets! Emptying my fridge and cupboard is designed to remove any little snacky things that I might be tempted to grab as the week goes on, or things that would be growing numerous colourful mould colonies by the time I got to eat them again. Throughout the week, you will undoubtedly hear about my interesting food (or lack of,) but mostly about my sugar withdrawals. Sorry in advance.
Shameless plug time; if you think it sounds like a good cause to support, but you're not sure that taking the challenge is right for you, you could always leave a little donation on my LBTL page; https://www.livebelowtheline.com.au/donations/new?participant_id=31904
I apologise for taking up your time with this un-humorous post that does not deliver the shenanigans you have come to expect, but I have to point out that even for someone as terrible at city life as I am, there is still a lot of pressure on me to be retarded, and sometimes, I just can't do it. (However, if you make a small donation to LBTL, then I promise I will never let this happen again.) Whoever said blackmail wasn't a fundraising tactic?
