Slowly working down the moving checklist. Power & gas connection is organised, and mail redirection done. I need to look at insurance, which is a bit of a nuisance as my current policy ends 3 days before the moving date. Removalist is the next major thing to organise, and then lots of lots of address changes.
I looked at NBN yesterday, it looks like it has FTTP installed already. That will be good, as I'm looking at getting a Ring doorbell and some security cameras. Money is just flowing from my accounts like water at the moment!
Countdown: 1 week from key collection. 1 month from final move date.

Silksong is gonna be playable at Game Worlds. I wonder how massive the hype is going to be?
I wonder when it'll be released, well no rush for me at the moment.
Hollow Knight is such a good game.

I buy all kinds of music and since it's all 1 or 2 bucks I buy things I don't know. So this morning I put on a cd of "Indian" music. Just a compilation album.
First song up, This Land is your Land Indian style. It was pretty cool.
here's ted 
Haiiii Ted, you are glorious!
he is and he has a great personality too, I love him very much
Ted sits like a human
Oh Ted. I want to bury my face in all that glorious floof. Although you might not like it
electric blanket on 1 or 2 was a lifesaver last night!
Security cameras have definitely improved a lot since I last looked at them. Everything used to need hard wiring for power and all the apps were pretty glitchy last time I investigated.
I'm going to get the Ring doorbell, cameras with solar power and gutter mounts for the front and back, plus one in the main area inside. That should cover all the main approaches, and being a new estate most of the theives in the area will be targeting all the empty houses filled with brand new appliances anyway.
Is that a Ring camera for just the regular cameras as well?
Yes, that's what I'm looking at. Then the one subscription and app will cover them all.
EUFY has no subscription, fyi,
I didn't realise Paint by numbers would be so calming and fun.
I love paint by numbers. It's soothing! I love to paint/play with colours, but often get caught in my head about it being "perfect" or what I "should" paint, so doing a paint by numbers hits my creative bone without being stressful. Ahh so happy you're enjoying doing it!
I also have a Zen painting app on my phone that I'll often play.
That's the one I'm using.
I have one on the ipad. Heaps relaxing.
Yeah I'm using my tablet

Just reading about the poor woman who was found in the water down at point lonsdale yesterday. So sad. Looks like they're searching the back beach right now with 3 choppers again so maybe someone else was with her that they couldn't find yesyerday :(
Such a dangerous beach.
edit, nope an aircraft incident today, drowning yesterday jeez.
On day two of βonboard for delivery within 24 hoursβ and you know, you KNOW the instant you poke them it shoots to NO DELIVERY FOR YOU
β¦but on a far more hilarious note hubs just tried to infolecture me on DNS somehow completely forgetting that I have worked for multiple webhosting companies and know way, way more than he does. Oh and sweetie, you are incorrect.
Do people not realise that Costco fuel has long hoses so you can fuel your car no matter which side your tank opening is on? Or are they afraid of using it?
Just nipped to Costco and drove in looking a line of 3 cars waiting at one bowser set, only for the 3 bowser set next to it be completely empty. Feels like a cheat code when you pull up, fuel up and zip out before that line has gotten through.
Like using the tool counter at Bunnings.
or the trade desk..
Tooth brushing isnβt going well so far. Melbcatβs gums are inflamed and sore so she pulls away. Iβve ordered some oral gel that can be applied with swabs (their version of mouthwash) which should hopefully soothe the gingivitis down so I can go back to trying the brush.
The dental cleaning food and treats all contain chicken so Iβm trying to give her pieces of freeze dried meat as treats instead of the ones that contain sugar. (Which is otherwise the only kind she can eat.)
I need to clean but am not feeling great. It almost feels like it doesnβt matter too -_-
tide is out, time for a walk π what will I see today

Decently chill day of work today. Got a meeting at 3, which hopefully won't last for too long.
Gonna hit the early voting centre to afford myself a sleep in tomorrow.

very early breakfast for Ted, who woke me up by walking up and down my body
he's been on a diet too, lost so much weight, he must be real hungry to wake me up
so hugs and half brekkie for the little guy who is not so round anymore πββ¬
Miss Meow did much the same, along with head butts and a lot of meow. She is also on a diet, but I don't think she is losing enough weight. She is already convinced she is starving to death, further reductions will not be taken well. At least she is well fortified for the stress of moving, if she decided to hide for a couple of days and not eat it would probably be good for her.
Alfie has definitely lost weight and it's nice because he's running around the house more, he seems to be feel much better. But the other night after his dinner, he wouldn't leave us alone, SCREAMING as if we hadn't fed him. Little beast. To the point boyo was wondering if we'd actually fed him. Alfie is an excellent liar!
We have to announce "the dog's been fed" otherwise he tries to scam another meal from each of us.
Boyo & I remind Alfie that we do actually talk to each other (a lot) and tell each other when the cat is fed, he shouldn't bother lying, but wow he tries. Really must post a video of his SCREAMING, it's quite something!
I would like to see this video please. I sometimes watch videos of cats yelling to help me fall asleep
"walking up and down my body"
I would like to hire the shiatsu kitten alarm clock please
Unfortunately shiatsu kitty often comes with enthusiastic amateur acupuncture
