Miss Meow approves of the new cushions.

I have some awesome gnochi from an Italian restaurant to sink my sore mouth into, some cheesecake, and a fluffy cat to annoy.

Life's good for now ❤️

Edit: as this is my last night of freedom before working again, I'm staying up one last time!!!

Lasagna. It is time.

Goodnight all! I'm going to get horizontal and vegetate in my creaky old bed. Ciao for now.

windy here and I am pretty tired an achy

good night, love you all 😘

Goodnight team. I hope I sleep as well as last night.

Tis a bit cool. Needed to chuck a blanket over the doona. Winter doona is going onto the bed on the next linen wash day.

ahh yes. the old game of "did the circuit trip because the PSU blew or did the PSU blow because of the circuit trip" Followed swiftly by "where the fuck did my spare PSU go" and then onto "Fuck me, what the shit happened to PC stores while my back was turned"

(I need to get my UPS on a separate circuit, about once a year we get a dirty feed that it regulates and then the RCD shits itself thinking it's a spike)

Does anyone know of an animal rescue or shelter that takes strays?

The ones I've tried just say to contact the council and that's not going to lead to a positive outcome.

Starting new job tomorrow. Kind of nervous but excited.

Eleven days until my 33rd birthday. When COVID started, I was 27 turning 28. My 30th happened during one of the lockdowns.

I've gone through 4 or 5 different calls centre jobs since 2019.

Now I'm studying animal care, with the plan to do either a Cert IV in Vet Nursing, or a Diploma of Animal Tech.

I spent only one year with my partner before COVID started. We've been together 6 years in Jan just gone.

It feels so long and no time at all. So much has changed.

I am grateful how I have managed to change my trajectory on a personal scale.

It's gonna be okay, eventually, and I hold enough hope about that for those who can't be hopeful.

I am eternally grateful for this community, a home made of code and human souls sharing their lives and advice. You've been amazing to me, even though I've been less than stellar at times.

Sending you all my love and good vibes! 💜💜💜

This is my neighbour's fence. Everytime he finds something worthy he staples it on here. I've popped it under a spoiler because it's fucking hideous.

Everyone in the block of flats next door have moved out (was sold, probably end up being townhouses), last dude to leave who has early onset dementia came and said goodbye which was a bit sad. Really nice guy and can't imagine the move for him is gonna be easy.

Other place next door on the other side (with a bunch of noisy kids which is all good) have moved out cause they're about to do renos.

Completely neighbourless, and the lack of noise reminds me of locky lockdowns which to be honest isn't the worst thing.

Which brings us the rave choon

I think I could get used to this

Saw three Tawny Frogmouths at the park 😃 I love them.

Wow. Big sleep.

The embiggening appears to have worked. I think my feet look quite fetching.

I’ll now be wearing them until bedtime just to make sure they settle in to the peculiarities of my feet

Lazy day. New job starts Tuesday so I'm getting up early tomorrow to get used to it. 6:30am.

So super early night tonight.

I think I found a new hobby. I put the boxing on Wii and KO'd a few dickheads. I'm tired now.

got a case of standard dun wanna but i must meal prep before i go out for dinner and then I remember I bought chips and chocolate on sale yesterday

Apparently I had a deprived childhood. I have never made or worn an Easter bonnet or hat. I thought it was an odd new thing, but friends of the same vintage and similar geography tell me this had been happening for many decades, I've just somehow completely missed it. Huh.
