Birthday officially ruined. TheVoid pissed on Boyo's gift before dawn. He's in a depressive spiral and I'm dealing with the stench and trying to wash non waterproof things.
Had such an awesome time with my good friend last night, great conversation, great food (thank you schlemmertopf 😉), great everything! You are such an amazing person and I hope to be even just half the person you are one day 💜💜💜
Now today is for lazy activities, such as: drinking coffee, eating bread (before I have to go to work next week and can't bring any bread lol), having another coffee, snoozing, watching YT, snoozing with the cat, and maybe (probably, most definitely) another coffee.
Later, when I feel more awake, I'll load up a game to play. Can't decide between Sacred 2, Megabonk, or Easy Delivery Co. I also still have to finish Lost Wiki: Koslovka. So many choices, such limited time lol
Just had some of the leftovers for dins - still very yum. The lemon myrtle flavouring was more pronounced tonight. I will be using this spice more I think.
Don't intend to overdo it, caution is the watchword for any highly flavoured spice. I understand that it's considered safe in normal culinary amounts. Putting neat essential oil on your skin does cause severe problems.
True, but I consider anyone who puts undiluted essential oils on their skin to be the sort of person that should probably be fitted with mittens anyway
A brain implant would also be indicated in those circumstances imo. Finding a reliable source could be an issue. On the other hand, there are a lot of people walking around with unused brains anyway so maybe not such an issue after all. We could harvest them at one nation rallies and I don't think anyone would notice.
Is she still wearing a sensor? I've found a cheaper brand called CareSens, around $55. The app isn't as good as Libre but I can't imagine she needs that level of information.
Nah, they were stressing her out too much and too damned expensive. We earprick and log. She's fine with it, as long as the freeze dried crocodile bribes keep coming
ikea boxes arrived before 8, I had to put pants on. Then I went back to bed.
I suppose i better shower, put pants on again and then put together some furniture so I can make some order out of this nascent hoarder nest. Then I have my desk free so I can do desk related tasks. 👍
On another positive note I found a helpful post on reddit regarding the course and grammar about duolingo latin.
Went for a walk around Lysterfield Lake this morning and it was stunning out there!! Love seeing people out and about enjoying the sunshine, lots of cute picnics being set up as well.
Anyone know of any canine viruses doing the rounds? My mate's working dog has been at the vet two days in a row. Fever, shaking, needing to be picked up to get in the car, bloods show inflammation and low thyroid, tummy ok except not very interested in food and no cough. Poor pup is really miserable. so everyone is just waiting for now. Really hope it turns out ok. He is the best boy.
It’s probably already been done by vet, but check carefully for any sore spots, could be as small as a grass seed embedded in skin that’s gone infected. Or a bad tooth. Hope the dog pulls through!
Could it be the new bird flu? If seals can get it, maybe dogs can. Because quite a lot of diseases (such as viruses) can pass from dogs to seals quite easily so maybe the other way around.
Of course the night I feel like I could get other things done one of the kids won't bloody go to sleep. I'm 1.5 espresso martinis in now so nothing will get done anyway.
I was reading how to get that nice foam on an espresso martini and you need to shake the shit out of it. My cocktail shaker doesn't seal properly so I'll have to get a new one of those.

Woo.
Big cat energy.
Oh, the cat peed.
That's just life.
What is TheVoid's estimated lifespan at this point? Attributed verbal lifespan that is, rather than physical.
Considerably lower than yesterday. His conversion into slippers has been brought forward.
At least the day can only get better?
Can we eliminate the culprit?

Be careful with that one, it can be dangerous. As in "calcify your brain" dangerous

Oh god no those things would be all wonked and shrivelled from disuse
23rd consecutive green bin ✔️
Almost a record. Going at this since May 🙃
Big trick is to fill the bin, then have the next one lined up in receptacles for the week after. Dries out and you can fit 2x in.
After this I'm done.. then... MULCH.
I bought a chipper/mulcher and got rid of the green bin. It all goes back on the garden.
I have a little-ish ryobi electric one and am always so demoralised using it. Spend all day shoving shit through it and only get maybe 1/2m^3 lol.
Is satisfying though when there's a stubborn stick and it finally makes its way through
I only use it a few tines a year but its great.
That’s a scary chart.
We live in a world where our diabetic cat can enjoy sardine cutlets in lobster consomme without blowing her diet. Fucking fantastic

I would come, lovely walking round there.
Ah, will reach out when it's not such a "get out of bed and go" kind of walk, would be rad to chat!
A gentle market run. I am excused apartments this weekend, and glad of it
I emerge from the wheezing hellscape
I have revs-pox aka chest infection.
I got it without even the dubious pleasure of Revs
gentle hugs
but still take it easy, there's lots of nasty germs out there
One set of shelves made, now to make a chest of drawers. 😐 It looks difficult. 😐😐
You got this 💪🏻
Miss Seagoon is doing most it.
all those big lego sets were a good investment 👍

Yeah that thought crossed our minds. Dogs can get it. You'd have to be unlucky though
Bill Cat is totally exhausted from the move. Just so much new for him to cope with.
Where did you get this picture of me?
I bought it on the Dark Web where I get all my pictures of you
What a handsome lad!
He's lovely. 🥰
some more sleep and an actual approx ETA from ikea would be nice
Heh. My pet supply delivery the other day turned up 15 min before their earliest listed eta. Luckily pants had been achieved.
