This is why I can’t have nice things. Flyscreen-Licker lol
why 🤷♀️
I am having moderate success stopping mine from eating the furniture with this:
I’ll check that out, thank you!!! 🙌
Gibson’s soul mate lol
I don’t deny all this optimism since Kamala got the nomination and is now leading in the polls feels good. 😊
I wonder if it will hold steady till November. I hope so. I really do.
Ever since 2016 I really don’t trust the average “normal” American to go out and actually vote. I could believe Kamala leading all the polls until the election when Trump’s goons turn out in greater numbers than ever and enough minorities/women are just somehow disenfranchised enough to not vote. I REALLY hope that doesn’t happen though
E: and I also really fear for another Jan 6
Effing terrifying if not. I’d be green in that world because surgery, and fuck that shit eight ways before Tuesday.
Hello possum!

My new raincoat arrived today, so it won’t rain again for a good six months I reckon.
Taking one for the team I see. We thank you!
I finally found my long-lost ‘good’ umbrella, so I’m doing my bit too.
I already appreciate you - just went and stood in the sunshine for 10 minutes, sleeves up and warmth on my face. Hope your new raincoat is lovely!
Sleep school is alright. This facility is really nice and the staff are great. The food is a little lousy, which is to be expected. It’s pretty much hospital grade microwave meals, but they’re provided and you’re free to head out and do whatever you want.
I should have taken the week off but with how everyone was feeling last week it was still up in the air.
I hope you get the answers you’re looking for mate
It’s working. Keeping things going at home will be the tricky part, but there are things we can already take away from this residency
Excuse me
Happy cake day
Oh is it? I get mixed up between accounts. Whoo 🎂
I jest (as per usual)

My “didn’t think about food early enough and now I can’t be arsed” dinner was a mushroom and goat’s cheese omelette. And it was delicious.
yum
I had chicken vegie curry with rice and home made naan
Barely made it on time to work today, though the traffic was awful this morning with the fog.
I think I’ve also got the case of the minor sniffles now :(
I had the minor sniffles yesterday.
It’s been promoted to Major Sniffles now :(
Thankfully(?) due to our wonderfully cromulent staffing, I’m still the only one in the office at least.
Back in the land of the frozen toes, but I now have a dwelling with a split air system. I’m actually a little surprised at how well it heats. Even beats the portable fancy schmancy Dysons. And… there will actually be aircon this Summer (or whatever weird semblance of a season we have in lieu of Summer). Strangely, I have survived most of my home life without it. I am looking forward to actually being able to sleep through hot weather (although the weird fan in the face thing I had going was working reasonably well).
On my usual weird side notes because, you know, I’m always late to the party… I did discover Acrobat can search within PDFs in a folder. I lament past me for the amount time I have wasted remembering something and then manually searching through endless individual PDFs to find said something. Such a basic thing. (Also am sadly slugging away at a well overdue assignment. cries)
I hope everyone is warm and well.
Wait… teach me this PDF searching magic so that I may put it to good use.
(The grey box is showing a search I already performed. It should show the empty field when you first open it and you can select anywhere on your drive.)
Edit: Hehe, thanks for the cheeky distraction. <3
Holy shit that’s awesome. Thanks for the tip!
You are an absolute legend!!! Annotated graphic and all - thank you so very kindly. I will be saving this for use in the near future and will think gratefully of you
Split system heating allows for a very precise and gentle heating of a space that can’t really be matched by other heating systems. It is also energy efficient as well provided you have a reputable brand.

You have described it perfectly. That’s exactly what it is and I find this to be quite puzzling.
You’ll get used to it. So much so you’ll wonder how you lived without it.
New avatar attached. I love it! EDIT: oops still have to actually attach … 2nd edit : attached now.
TW: medical things.
I’ve been helping the old man with building a medical registry for the last decade. It ended up being a really interesting project with a lot of stats (and a great bonding thing). Anyway he’s giving a talk soon so helping him out with the powerpoint stuff scanning things etc.
Last night he showed me:

One of the first survival graphs (it was the original document) for the precursor to that sub-specialty. My jaw dropped. What it shows is how quickly things were moving at the beginning and how they were all over it in the early 50’s. No software, just a pen and typewriter.
It’s pretty cool. I’ve come across papers on JSTOR and other research that always makes me think: a) they already knew all this?! b) our whole health literacy is not great. (Like being sedentary is not good for you? Yeah, they were already writing about that in the 50s.)
Just used UpDoc for the first time, pretty sweet. Got a med cert in about an hour for $20, didn’t have to speak to anyone or go anywhere.
Late anti-gratitude sentiment.
My mum bought a “urine detector” torch from Temu (it’s pretty much just a low quality UV light) and our carpet is full of piss. My dog has marked pretty much everywhere and it’s gone into the carpet.
Also ‘missed’ the 8am class because I couldn’t sleep and it wasn’t a good idea to drive. Fun fact: being awake for I think 16 hours is like having your BAC at .05. Or maybe it’s 17, don’t remember.
Another reason to hate carpet.
Dude… you need to mentally prep for UV light revelations!
I broke a nail. Not quite bad enough to bleed but bloody hurts!
Ate quite a bit of raw pineapple today. Tongue felt funny and tingly afterwards.
Still not very comfortable, like I burnt it.
Pineapple (raw) has a LOT of enzymes in it - which is why you can’t set raw pineapple in jelly cos the enzymes denature the proteins in the jelly. Also, its a bromeliad, and a very ‘primitive’ plant, so has evolved a lot of chemical defenses. That burning/tingling sensation also means that the pineapple wasn’t quite ripe enough. I get this reaction too, but not everyone does. Not my favorite fruit.
My second horror movie set at camp was Stage Fright starring Minnie Driver for all of 2 seconds and Meatloaf fresh from his Grand Final performance.
Set at a musical theatre camp, the killer hates musical theatre and wears a Wish version of the ghost face mask and it’s pretty obvious who it is under the mask. Motivations are nonsensical as well. But the musical parts were rather catchy.
4/10 for mine.
