Cooked some chicken nuggets for dinner. Simple stuff tonight.
Almost went for some dim sims. Maybe that’s tomorrow.
Her highness has had her nest refreshed and is unhappy the slave is late with the 2nd round of treats
Sweet Gibson 😍 she’s so beautiful 😭
i cook well
I make edible food
I do 100% of the time too… 50% of the time.
same
i know I’m lucky to have the time to do it
it’s the first time in a couple of months that i have time to meal prep properly and i am very happy with the result
🙂
Feeling muted and wibbly and bleah… working up the courage/timing to commit to only one job and say goodbye to the other. Ugh I cannot please everyone.
One bit of extremely good news that I’m looking forward to more than anything else is the return of a familiar guest (after more than a year!) this weekend for about ten days… stay tuned 😺
SOXCAT!
I can’t wait for that silky, wriggly fuzzball to grace my abode again 🧦
some times you gotta jump in. The anxiety of waiting for the car to hit you is often worse than the car actually hitting you.
You’re so right about that. I definitely think my stomach/sleep issues of recent are stemming from that anxiety. It’s a really inconvenient time to leave for the org and I don’t want to burn bridges, but I’m trying to frame this as reducing the orgs risk by not having someone who’s burnt out and likely to start dropping the customer service ball big time.
gotta do whats right by you. No one else will prioritize you.
I’m pissed off… years ago I had inherited a little tv with a built in dvd player. Shortly after Melbcat’s asthma got bad, and I put it and a few other things temporarily out on my veranda to make space to vacuum thoroughly. (Needed the floor clear and didn’t want to knock anything over.)
I involuntarily fell asleep in exhaustion, forgot to take it back in and it was gone.
Now that’s kind of on me for not grabbing it back in asap, maybe they thought that it was being given away - but in this neighbourhood I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t care.
Definitely one of my regrets now that YouTube is getting cracked down on and this external drive is giving me trouble.
I don’t want a large tv. I don’t want the smart tv shit that spies on you and requires internet connection. That little thing was the perfect size and picked up radio too.
I also had a portable dvd player way back when those were current but that was blatantly stolen out of my room by a flatmate. I think the bastard stole my discman too, and my ceramic space heater.
You might be able to get some second hand at cash converters
I saw one on eBay but it’s pickup only… maybe if I can blag a lift
I’ve got a 32" Kogan TV with a dvd player that you can have. The remote is dodgy but it all works. HDMI in so you can plug a laptop into it. No stand/legs though. I’ve got bracket steel or can wire the back up like a picture frame as far as mounting it goes.
Thanks but I should be ok! I’ve got a lift to grab a little used tv next Monday
(I can probably afford a proper tv and separate dvd player but haven’t wanted one til now and am trying to keep possessions minimal)
eyy coworker please try to throw me under the bus with a mass CC public shaming. I love that shit. Especially when I have documented evidence that this is your fuckup.
Reply all with the documentation asking for clarification on their issue?
Friend says there’s something in the Melbourne air that makes her sleepy. I wonder what.
It’s the pollen causing cerebral hypoxia lol
Rhododendron same fam they get along.
Finally booked in an assessment to get the wisdoms out. I have an initial consultation + targetted x-ray in a couple of weeks, then they’ll figure out whether it’s going to be a complex removal or fairly straightforward, and since my preference is full general anaesthetic, work out all of that fun stuff.
This clinic is expensive, but their staff seem actually friendly. The dentist I go to for general stuff is low cost, but that comes at the expense of friendliness and general clinic maintenance. The whole building looks dingey, they can’t seem to afford to fix their lightbulbs, and everybody that works there seems like they’re constantly having the worst day ever and often take it out on whoever dares make an appointment. Considering how expensive dentists are, it’s good that they exist, but super depressing that they’re in such a state of shambles. That’s the state of the healthcare system, I guess
No lunch break and still working. Tomorrow I’m leaving early.
Make sure you get paid for it or get TIL! Don’t give the corpos your free time
I’m just going to leave a few hours early tomorrow.
Do you have set hours or timesheets?
I’m definitely not a fan of having to work extra without a guarantee that I can make up for it later. So easy to end up doing free work with all the overtime adding up. Timesheets are tedious but they’re useful if the employer honours time in lieu or you can use flexi time at least
No timrsheets, but these guys are great with not wanting people to work outside office hours. So we’ll see how it plays out.
I had beef stew for dinner tonight. I made a batch a couple of days ago to bottle, one jar didn’t seal (which is the one I ate tonight) and there are 5 more jars for later. Served with mashed potato and cauliflower & broccoli in cheese sauce.
If one is slowly running out of gin should one now move onto Gentleman Jack & coke or ouzo & raspberry. Choose my adventure. Tomorrow is a write off.
Ouzo because fuck it why not!
That exact combo was my first ever drink.
raspberry chuck is awful to clean up
I can aim very well 👍 but tell me about your experience.
the splashes are awful
Gentle jack on the rocks none of this coke nonsense it will interfere with your sleep
New sheets day today 🛌 🙂
Melbcat is cuddling and I don’t want to get up. I wish I was strong enough to put her in a baby sling so we could keep cuddling while I folded or did dishes (she’s a big lady and I’m a small enby)
So many Vales recently. :(
Who else?
Maggie Smith
John Ashton (Taggart from the Beverly Hills Cop movies)
Are two I can think off
Tom Petty
Right.
And the recently departed Elvis Presley. RIP.
Tributes incoming.
Long live The King
Who’s that bloke?
Also someone who’s been in Days of our lives for 40 years.
