1 more day and I'll have been off suboxone for a year.
I'll save my thoughts till tomorrow.
Yes, sobering. And the fact that you've been off it for a year speaks volumes for your courage and self-control. Dam admirable imo.

I'm so proud of you
Well done mate.
so many hugs and kudos
change is so very very hard, any change, you have done awesome ๐
Two things.
First, Carrot Man has a new carrot, or at least a freshly painted one. Looks very nice.
Second, I just saw a young bloke on an electric scooter with a small fridge on the platform. Not secured with anything resembling an occy strap. Scooting down the hilly bit of Bridge Road. Which is due for resurfacing next weekend. Courage takes many forms.
Lazy morning start tucked in doona watching French Dispatch. And now i mush wash and possibly cut downspout
Last night, I went to the movies with the boyfriend (The Drama gets 2/5 hobbits), and we were walking back to my car. I accidentally went down the wrong street and the most gorgeous orange kitty came up to us and started purring and rubbing itself on us. I wanted to take it home. Do cats typically not have collars? This one didn't have one. It looked like an adult.
No cat tax because we were enjoying the moment. I love my dog but I think thanks to you guys and this cat we saw, I am starting to want a cat.

One of the Customer Service women has brought their daughter into work today. Last time she was in I tried plugging her switch into one of the computer docks to play on one of the monitors. It didn't work, I don't know if it's Nintendo or Dell's fault but that's bullshit

Apparently he's now declared a two week cease fire though so some adult in the room is trying to wrangle him to de-escalate

I wonder what all the ticket inspectors are doing this month.

or maybe cleaning stations and making them nicer and safer s/

Been smoking way less, but still smoking. Funny, buying a pouch from Woolies is ~$100, buying a 20pk of Marlboro reds from my local tobacconist is $18.
Even more reason to quit: Marlboro is made in the USA lol
Few years ago a dude offered me 2 x 50g of champion for $50 at a club thing.
Obv. stolen. had all the australian warnings. Couldn't pass it up though ๐

Trying to catch a mouse in the house.
It's smarter than me :(
Do you need to borrow a Jack Russell? Cannot guarantee the state of your house afterwards, but th mouse will be dispatched.
'Rent a Russell' actually has a nice ring to it. ๐ค
Trying to befriend the cat down the road for some back-up but to no avail.
You can rent a goat! Not known as great mousers despite their rep for eating absolutely anything

Clearly you must adopt a cat. Or give up eating cheese. Get the cat.
I've been using Affinity more now that it's a unified free app (genius) and I'm starting to realise that I'm learning how to use it the same way I learnt how to use Photoshop. Slowly, gradually over time as I need to achieve various things.
I made this little explainer that approximates what we are seeing in the Earthset image. It makes it way easier to pick out the Indochina Peninsula and Borneo on the left of crescent Earth, and potentially a little peek of Antarctica on the right.
Ozbargain needs to stop. It's giving me scotch deals again
That site is dangerous, I've learned to limit how often I visit there. I could go a scotch deal though.

brain stuck
also have a bad case of what's the point
Whoever reminded me about Moser Roth Madagascan vanilla chocolate from Aldi - my diet this week.does NOT thank you (but my mental health does...yummo)
I went to Aldi today and there was no cheap dry pasta. Had to buy the more expensive $2.35 one. I wonder if there's a shortage or the staff are just lazy cunts.
I don't know why but when I go there I always get zapped. It's so loud too. YL was about a metre away from me, not even looking at me and she heard it. When we were leaving she patted me on the back twice and I got zapped twice.
Does it happen to anyone else? Why me? And no I don't wear synthetic shudder.
I get zapped at one of the local shopping centres in my area. Every single time.
No idea why.

Black cat angst
I havenโt heard from the rescuer so texted her again, and asked if this guy can be treated outside or needs to be confined. Iโm clearing my space and buying a cheap tent to make an easy quarantine zone or keep him to be scannedโฆ
But Iโve also told her Iโm not feeling confident in the ringworm treatment and asked if she can start looking for backup foster homes because Iโm not sure Iโm able to take him. Iโm also looking for the owners in any way I can.
Itโs a hard one. I care about the cat and donโt fully want to give him up. Torn. Keep flip flopping.
Iโm just trying to be responsible and let them know to start looking for a placement now rather than bite off more than I can chew and then suddenly need someone else to take him on short notice. Or just stop caring for him because I canโt.
I wish things were different. ๐ข
Just had my interview and I think I smashed it! Should find out early next week
