I think maybe it wasn't such a great idea to go to bed at 9pm. Was trying to get some extra sleep but so far it's only extra wake ups.

happy cheese day ๐
Now this I can get behind lol
I love this news, thank you! May you celebrate World Cheese Day well!
another lovely sunrise
I read it's because of upper atmosphere dust clouds because drought
Everything is just fog here, although blue sky is starting to appear in patches now. Once the "feels like" temp gets above zero I'll take Mr Woof for a walk ๐ฅถ
Miraculously the gout pain is in remission. Slightly upping the meds dose really worked!!!
Don't tell my GP!!
rest easy
gentle hugs and warm compresses
Get the GP to check your wee re: gout next time you give them some.
Good advice. Been a while since I've done one of those tests.
I will take any and all offerings to help me increase my motivation and focus today to get my !)@$(@)$(@)$(@)$(@)($$@)( thesis progressing. Thank you
It's World Cheese Day! Get your arse into gear and finish what you have to and go get that cheese. ๐ง
You got this!
poke poke
get a move on
Get Ur butt into gear missy, those grapes aren't going to pick themselves
You can do it, keep at it!
set a timer.Give yourself 10 minutes of absolute dedication to the task. Then fuck around for 10 minutes, rinse and repeat.
no note taking today then I guess
Perfectly furry, no notes.
Mr/Ms Puss will be taking the notes today.
Who needs notes anyway?
No work, just pats.
I got caught in a fine icy rain on my walk, and now that I'm back the sun's out. I'm sitting in the sun on the lounge with a cup of coffee, dog at my side and cat at my feet. This is very pleasant.
Have Miss Meow and Mr Woof settled in yet?
Mr Woof has taken over the master bedroom and seems pretty relaxed about the whole move. He is still a bit unsure about the dog door though.
Miss Meow is less happy. She's spent lot of time exploring, but spent most of yesterday hiding in the sewing room. I don't think she likes the change of routine much, but she'll get used to it. She's been very cuddly overnight, even cuddled up to Mr Woof on the bed. She's not been outside yet, but given the weather is a bit miserable that's probably not much of an attraction anyway.
painting done, a ton of cleaning done
now off the to the city to get some gumboots for walking down the beach on winter days

I got a text from YL saying she's going to hairdresser after school because she's not happy with her fringe she cut herself. We've all been there. Unfortunately hairdressers can't grow hair back.
She needs to go to the Grove Street barber in San Andreas
She needs to listen to her mother. Stop cutting your own hair.
I have a jungle cat!
The jungle corner is so cute!! So glad Miss is enjoying it!
I've got a security camera set up in the lounge room, which caught her in the middle of the night climbing up to the very top tower and gazing out the window.
I used to think I was bad at graphic design and creative work, but now I think the problem is Adobe software. After being able to punch things out in GIMP, Inkscape, and Davinci Resolve, I tried to do some basic work in Premiere Pro at work and hit the same walls I did in Photoshop.
Maybe the problem isn't me, it's that the software is laid out like shit. Plus, the workflow for every adobe product is different, whereas there is at least some consistency between entirely separate FOSS equivalents.
My head still hurts this morning, it feels like a bad headache. Trying to do some work but my motivation is pretty low. Still wondering why me? Of all the people gawking at this guy going nuts, I was the one he singled out.
I called the police last night to ask why I hadn't been contacted yet, a sergeant got in contact with me and apologised that the officers at the scene didn't even ask for my details when I told them what happened. The guy had only been charged with property destruction offences before I called, what happened to me wasn't even recorded. What a joke right? I'm giving a statement on Friday.
What a joke right?
Yep that's fucked.
That's fucked up, that the officers didn't even note it down!
Good fucking lord, and they wonder why people don't want to join VicPol and say ACAB instead ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Take it easy, and look after yourself! Took that pumpkin to the noggin like a champ o7
There are so many holes in Erin's story that I can't even. The kids said that they weren't at the lunch because there "adult things" to discuss, yet Erin is saying the kids weren't interested? Yet she hosted the lunch because the kids enjoyed the last one they had with their grandparents? Tasted the blend, thought it was bland, added dried mushrooms "Now I think that there was a possibility that there were foraged ones in there as well," but doesn't taste it again afterwards to double check?!
I NEED POPCORN.
I need popcorn as well! I know it's morbid, but I'm really interested in true crime and court proceedings - I usually get my fix from US YouTube videos of courts. My favourite are when narcissists self-represent and get into the witness box.
It's refreshing to have an Aus court proceedings so well documented!
Idk what Erin was thinking, I want to give her the benefit of the doubt and believe it was manslaughter, but... It's really sounding like she knocked them off purposefully.
I get the impression she's a compulsive liar that might not even know what the truth is herself. That was what made it so weird initially, when I read the story I assumed it was an accidental poisoning, it was really just her not giving a straight account of where the mushrooms came from that made it look sus. If she'd just gone with "oops, I foraged mushrooms and obviously made a terrible mistake" it probably would have just been another tragic story of mushrooming gone wrong.
I think that's why she's on the stand, to clear things up but instead it's a fucking car crash. ๐ฟ
I need to stop shopping and start sorting.
There's always so much to buy setting up a new place though. I've got a stand to put my toaster oven/air fryer on, a bathroom cabinet so I've got somewhere to put the toilet paper, another storage rack for the laundry, a dustpan and brush (mine did not survive the move), new dog poo scoop (who really wants to move a used one?!) and a fence to go outside to create a pet barrier to where the side gate is (which has a gap Miss Meow might manage to squeeze under) and create a little yard for the bins.
Sorting plans for today are the bedroom/wardrobe, and a bit more in the kitchen. I made a good start on the pantry yesterday, got some preliminary sorting of the ensuite cabinet, and set up an area in the garage for putting shoes on/off and hanging outdoor coats etc. I've got a couple more floor mats to bring up to add to the area to minimise dust that gets tracked in and will see if I can find some carpet offcuts and things to cover a bit more - if I can get the area around the door to the house and the pathway across to the other external door covered it would be ideal.
