Put a cat to sleep yesterday. Feel like I’m being a massive fuckoff inconvenience for booking in some annual for the next couple days, yet I know it’ll be worse if I go in.
Not sure what the point of this comment was, but fuck it, sometimes you’ve gotta vent.
So sorry to hear that. Lots of hugs. Good on you for taking the time.
You just lost a member of your family. Take time off to grieve and vent all you need to
It’s the hardest decision to make. Vent away, we understand. And take the days off too. Grief is not limited to losing human friends and family, these furry buggers are more family than my blood relatives.
My condolences ♥
Really sorry to hear that. It’s rough.
I’m so sorry
I’m really sorry ❤️
My deepest sympathies. 💔 Take the time without guilt.
Take the time off without guilt, the loss and grief are not small things even if others might think it shouldn’t matter. It’s better to give yourself the time and space than to force yourself through. Condolences for your loss.
Oh I’m so sorry - it’s just the hardest thing to do. We had to do that a while back and it was just awful. Kept expecting her to pop up around the house for ages afterwards.
Today saw a person wearing an oodie in Kmart, and someone in pyjamas in the supermarket. I think we have all collectively decided fuckit, it’s too cold.
Still out in the CBD. Crazy my MIL and I are so similar. I wish she was my mum, she’s put in the work to turn herself around, while having cptsd. A true inspiration to me.
I love her so much. She’s just such an amazing person. I feel so blessed by the universe, after 28 years of shit, to have these people in my life.
so many hugs
and she is blessed to have you too
So much for plans for the day. Boyo regretting decisions to drink much rocket fuel punch, then eat special brownies and pavement. Colourful words and contusions.
Excuse the messy bed
Also I forgot to mention, if anyone needs a reference, you’re welcome to hit me up 🙂
Just helping me with the chores
Naaaaaw 🐶
😍 Or should I say 😻😻😻😻
precious!!! 😻😻😻
Sunbeams 🌞
So we finally have a bedroom door. (previous apartment didn’t have one)
Except we can’t close it.
The balls of fur totalling 15kg would scream at the door to be let in, once let in, they would park themselves on my wife and I, one on her side, one on top in between us, one on my side - trapping us in place.
We just got an expanda rod and hung a curtain
In our case it would be promptly pulled down, or if it manages to hold the weight, have holes all over them and scaled.
But the enrichment would be fantastic
OK. I’m up at 6:30am. I’m ready for work next week.
I have a tomato plant against a wall I was hoping would survive over winter and maybe give some early fruit next year. Not only is it surviving, it has actually produced a tomato! I don’t expect it to ripen in this weather, but it definitely bodes well for the early summer fruit plan.
I have one of those too. Don’t know what the confused thing is doing.
If the temperature indoors is reasonably constant and doesn’t get too cold indoor plans can do alright in winter. I have a Ti Plant for instance that’s starting to flower.
I too have a confused one. Still flowering and fruiting. Very odd.
The sun is out, the grass is riz, I wonder where the mower is.
The kids these days also say that I am riz
Oops, showing my age.
oh nononono not until tuesday. You’ll just tear it all up with how wet everything is
It will have rained again by then, but I approve of the sentiment. Did air out the house during the brief burst of sunshine, so that will be my maintenance for this weekend.
Went into the city yesterday and went to the State Library. I thought I’d finally be able to make an appearance at one of the pro Palestine demonstrations but it was some weird anti CCP group out the front yesterday
It’s always anti CCP outside the State Library. I think a few also hang around Spencer St Station.
If I see a future date for a pro-palestine one (the posters are all over Sydney Rd), I’ll let you know :D
For me it’s more that I need to get a whole family into the city which takes an hour. I was hoping things would line up on Saturday
I accidentally walked through a protest on Oct 10th on my way to the art gallery.
A woman with a loud speaker was yelling River to the Sea ( a call to genocide, not only of Jews but of all infidels including Sunni Muslims and Christians, but first Jews , eh ) and people in the crowd answered with “Kill them”.
I hurried through shaken. This must have been what it was like to live in Germany in the 1930s.
I am doing it. I am going outside in search of sunshine, ibuprofen and proper sudafed.
My nose and throat feel like someone has taken to them with a scrubbing brush. And so much snot. But I have changed out of PJs (into trackies and oodie). Working up to a walk outside in the sun
Eating at a sandwich place outside. This person is standing “away” from the eating area to have her cigarette, but the wind is blowing the smoke smell right where I’m eating. Gross.
The sandwich was A+ though, so satisfied.
So disrespectful 😑 I smoke (on and off, quitting is hard 😭) and tend to walk away if I want a smoke. As in, waaaay away. Around a corner, in an unoccupied alley. If I’m walking in a group, I’ll walk behind everyone so they’re not walking in my smoke (wind dependant). And it’s wild people don’t care about wind direction, it’s not hard to stay downwind of the public. If there’s no bins, I flick the butt out and put it in a small bag within my bag, I never litter them. Or slap a nicotine patch on and wait until you’re home/take some gum.
Shameful behaviour, makes the rest of us addicts look real bad lol
Ugh. I have this issue while waiting for public transport on the daily. Gives me the shits.
Gratitude thread :)
My only plans today are to meal prep and watch something. Uni can wait until I get more sleep.
The sun!!! THE SUN!!! Oh so glorious today, a tonic for the soul
Something real basic today.
Coffee and food! Grateful to have those things right now.
I’m grateful I got to have a lovely relaxing holiday with a friend. And for sunshine and good food.
🏡👨👩👧👦 plus the farmers market I went to at Essendon today. It was a beautiful day for it and there were plenty of dogs to smile at. One couple even had a ferret in a special ventilated carry bag, which fascinated Miniest to no end!
Felt like the pits at 7:30am but a bit more sleep, water, Nurofen and sweating it out and I am getting better again. The sun is absolutely helping. It’s an automatic immune booster.
Airing the house out to clear the cloud of sickly miasma that’s built up over the week. Chugging so much liquid. Please let this be the beginning of the end, I can’t take any more of the coughing and sinus headaches. Was coughing to the point of almost throwing up yesterday. My neighbours must hate me 😬
