I started feeling worse after a nap yesterday afternoon. It was one of those naps where upon waking I could swear I'd been punched in the face and been run over by one of those wannabe F1 drivers they always seem to hire for replacement buses
I ran out of soothers, not that they were doing very much anyways. But I did find an orange in my fridge, so I had that. Also remembered I have no sugar cordial I keep on hand for when I'm sick (when I have a cold, I always really struggle with water intake despite usually drinking lots)
Also I bought a game called chef in the steam sale and hopped on at 10 thinking I would play an hour then go to bed, but it's now 2 and it appears I may still be awake
-
"Man's Attempt to go to bed early foiled by cat chasing random bug in bedroom. When asked why he didn't remove the cat he was quoted as saying: she'll just bang on the door all night" More news at 11.
-
Cat chasing bug is excellent. My cats won't, they just lazily look at bugs while I tell them to do their job of protecting the house from said bugs.
-
-
Don’t know if anyone was watching the news but a cargo ship in Baltimore collided with a bridge and took the whole thing down.
It sounds horrific.
-
Fucking hell that's so bad... How could someone not realise they were about to hit a fucking bridge?!?!
-
Montague st bridge says hi.
-
-
Holy shit... Someone asleep at the wheel in the worst way
-
That bridge was about a third longer than the West Gate, with a similar clearance height. Nutty.
-
Hhhooly shit. That footage is something else. How does that happen?!
-
Ohh...when you look at the YouTube footage...there's a car with flashing lights. It stops the cars on the bridge a few mins prior. The right thing. But ... Just sitting there....if they'd stopped them before the bridge...
Sorry. Thats a lot. My heart hurts
-
-
Saw the footage on abc news Just In. Wholly schmowlly. Stuff of nightmares.
-
-
Good Milk chocolate is the best chocolate :)
-
Nope! 80% dark wins hands down
-
All are good. Even better when you blend them together in a hot choco, but the sugar content tends to be quite horrific.
-
-
-
Finally the apartment has cooled down to a more reasonable 24°C. So the cats have started their zoomies.
They have been lethargic and not doing zoomies in the last 3 weeks as the apartment was constantly 31-35°C.

Ooh hello Moon 🌕
-
When you are the moon, the best form you can be is a full moon. And then the half moon... he's all right. But the full moon is the famous moon. And then three-quarters, eh, no one gives a shit about him. When does he come, two days in, to the calendar month? He's useless. Full moon. The moon. The main moon.
-
When you are the moon, there is a person people say is the sun. I saw the sun once, and he came past me, really fast. And it was an, it was called, the, an eclipse. And he came fast! But as he came past, I, I licked his back. [sticks out tongue] And he doesn't know I licked his back! All in his yellow suit!... I'm the moon.
-
am now singing moon song 🌕 👁️ 🍕 ❤️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUz1pZ_LujU

Wow, my dress alteration costs more than my dress.
I better look like a million bucks when I wear it. 😂
-
I get op shop suits for about $50 then tailor them for another $250.
-
I get it. A well-fitted suit looks so good. You can totally tell the difference.
-
-
I had a floor length full circle skirted dress taken up once and just that cost almost as much as the dress. Proper alterations so a dress (or any other sort of clothing) fits properly are well worth it.

It's dashcam installation day! Then I just need to witness something worth submitting to YouTube while singing in the car, get discovered by a talent agent from that exposure and then I'll be a ⭐ STAR ⭐
-
Just remember not to be one of those yuppy rich people who mute the audio if you swear. I don't come to hear "FU-". The more you call the driver in front inanimate objects, the funnier you'll be!
-
I had an idea to have a pre-thought-up tirade ready which uses subbed words like darned, fudging, etc. for a laugh.
But I also have another idea locked and loaded which might be fun too.
-
-
Judging by the lyrics of most dashcam videos: don't try classical.
-
Like this?
“Thou clay-brained guts, thou knotty-pated fool, thou whoreson obscene greasy tallow-catch!”
-
-
-
I just dropped my cat at the cattery for the very first time. I feel like an absolute monster, abandoning my little baby. I know it's for his own good- I'm going away for 10 days and last time I was away that long he struggled with a friend visiting daily.
But still. And the house feels very empty.
-
aw, hugs, he'll be ok. Cats are very adaptable.
-
He's a sociable boy, and I know he'll be just fine, but it's still hard to walk away and leave him there! He's probably having a lovely time already.
-
-
He'll be ok. It's stressful and sucks but you're ensuring he's safe and well cared for
-
-
Found myself being more conscious of what I was listening to in the car now that I have a dashcam. That's probably normal for the first few days of ever having a dashcam I expect.
At the same time, if I end up submitting a video to DCOA and I'm belting out A Whole New World I won't be ashamed.
-
self conscious farting

Felt like and sounded like a total zombie at work today from lack of sleep 💀 it is going at breakneck speed, normally a good challenge but the NEET cobwebs are hard to shake off. About to hit the melatonin and hope tomorrow brings more clear-mindedness.
In good news, I have a serious lead elsewhere on other work for the other days... that is more aligned to my medium term goals and requirements than the other options available to me now. Let's see what we can work out so both sides are happy and I don't burn out this time. While also starting to refill my coffers 🤞

🤞🤞🤞

(accidentally posted in yesterday's thread)
Fuuuuck. I have repeatedly overexerted myself for days in a row (once is bad enough) and my body is screaming. I crashed and slept for hours, was late with supper. But Melbcat did get seen no matter what.
-
Warms my heart to read about you trying to help ginger ninja. Also as soon as you order bulk cat food, something will be wrong (recall, expiry, cat food refusal ). Every time…..
-
I took another quick walk this morning... not a hair of him. Maybe I need to wait until the sun is out a bit more. I feel like shit that I had to walk away.
So I'm finding :'(

The bloody postie just delivered a package for next door to my place. It's just me home, I don't know this neighbour, and I can't go 2 minutes without sputtering like a truck engine from the 1930s
Ironically his parcel says "SIGNATURE ON DELIVERY REQUIRED - DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED" but that's exactly what he did
-
It's ok Baku. When the neighbour has come home, pick up the package, knock on the neighbour's door and say "the postie left this at my door. I believe it belongs to you". Hand the package over, turn and walk away. It's good practice. No need for a conversation.
-
I think he's out at the moment, so I just walked over and left it at his door. It's a safe neighbourhood, so there's not really any risk of porch pirates. I did take a photo and left feedback on the Auspost website though
I did also have a package coming today that was due at the same time, and after checking the tracking apparently meant to be delivered by the same bloke, but it hasn't arrived yet and wasn't at the neighbours door (I thought perhaps he mixed up the parcels), so now I'm wondering what the hell's happened to it

Meeting at 1 pm, after which I will putting my Teams status on Do Not Disturb and continue playing Dragon's Dogma 2
FUCK THE POLICE!!!!
-
PB on my run this morning. Notification came up on my watch as Panama was playing. Felt good man.
-
Talkin' cats. The boyz here tell me they are starving, STARVING!!
The poop tray tells otherwise and poop don't lie.
-
They're shakin' you down lady!
-
-
When you can't tell whether the tram smells of either tinned fish or diarrhoea
-
I think trams/people are getting smellier.
-
Bit of both?
-
I can always smell fish and chips mixed with rotten salad sandwich.
-
-
I just killed a fly with my bug a salt that's been harassing me all morning. It took two blows. My real life Tour of Duty game 🔫
-
Went over to p's place for dins turns out they had a lawyer over for estate planning...
I thought it was just a cashew chicken thing.. Then you run into a high powered lawyer so there I am thinking okay. She was lovely but I didn't know and I could've worn a better shirt.
-
Sky pretty
-
Stupid coffee >:( I've had almost zero sleep tonight. Ironically I'll probablybneed another one to stay awake today but I'll have to hit the melatonin at 7pm to catch up.
-
Mrs B's cat has ditched her, and realized if she stakes a claim around the left hand site of my feet I'll do my best to honor the space even though I toss and turn enough to power a perpetual motion machine. I don't LOVE it, but I'm honored.
-
I just had a willy willy come through. I didn't see it. I just heard it then the bin fell over.
My mistake. It was two bins cos it's double shot Tuesday.
-
Unexpected 1 hour overtime because someone I'm training got a call at 4.58 and took ages because it was their first 🫠
-
Rice vermicelli, bok choy, leftover sausages, and hoisin sauce. 👩🍳😘🤌
-
tonight for dinner I'm having burgers flavoured with garam masala and other spices , making enough for a few dinners :)
-
Why aren't daily tasks as motivating as they are in video games.
-
I can fix that for you! Write down your quests in a journal. Each time you complete a task strike it off the list whilst playing this off your phone, and obtain 2-6 M&Ms as XP (job depndant).
-
I've taken to using an app (Habitica) for it that gamifies the whole affair, but even then, it's not quite the same.
Probably because daily tasks in video games are meant to be engaging and reasonably achievable, reality has no such restrictions.
-
-
-
When I did it was only violence which stopped as I got older and fought back.
-
and hugs to fluffy, so many hugs
-
same 😔 and I'm not a male
-
-
I do and he doesn't. We're not a very outwardly affectionate type of family and he's one one of those country town raised boomer types who doesn't go in for that stuff.
-
I hug my dad on greeting and parting. It continued that way until adolescence, paused, and resumed at maybe 25 y.o
-
I still have hugs with my dad though he wasn’t around for half my childhood.
Only when we either greet each other or say goodbye does it happen.
-
-
I have synced accounts and retrieved another 150 music albums. I'll get the other 100 tomorrow and will fix up the chapter headings for all the audio books. Move files and pictures and bookmarks and I'm done. Then I can erase and stomp that fucker of a puter into the ground before I chuck it in the recycle
-
Those vintage big heavy chunks of carved ebony I've been buying make excellent bookends
-
Wow today was just a constant stream of people and node switching. Currently just sitting at my desk in the quiet working up the energy to go home.
-
Just got an email stating YouTube Premium price will double!! If I weren't using it for the family logins that would be a cancel....
-
It just went up a few months ago? Not again
-
Nah, it's the same price rise. They emailed months ago giving us warning of the upcoming changes. They take effect next month.
We all share a single plan, though. Ironically, since the kids are starting to affect my feed and totally ruined my "2023 in review" report, I was toying with upgrading to the family plan - which is what @calhoon2005 is using. The single service is going up to about what the family plan was previously.
I'm thinking I'll wear the increase for now as I was planning on spending that amount anyway. I can't justify $33/month though. That's just insane. Maybe in a few more years when they turn into cave dwellers and want to listen to different tracks in their rooms simultaneously.

I'm craving a chocolate ripple cake. I think it's gonna happen this weekend.
-
Just got tripped up by a requirement I missed when trying to apply for a Masters, and might have wasted four months and a bunch of energy/stress, and a lot of ghostings, all for 0 - negative progress.
Any good recommendations for something conciliatory to take the mind off of things for a while? Might try again later, but not today.
Unrelated, but also going to take the opportunity to grumble about places that have a "x amount of times total" limit. It seems unnecessarily restrictive for anything that isn't going to have permanent effects.
-
Complete and utter chaos from 2 traffic accidents. So glad I don’t drive to work!
-
Is anyone here on Vodafone? Mine just went down. Trying to figure out if it's just me.
-
Best site to check is Down Detector to see if people are reporting issues. You could be onto something: https://downdetector.com.au/status/vodafone/
-
I'm on Vodafone, my service is up. In the Inner SE area.

Just witnessed this moronic person next to me use his phone on 5G while we were descending into Sydney. I don’t think he switched his phone to flight mode at all during the flight, was just waiting for the reception to kick in during the flight. I wouldn’t call myself an anxious flyer but I really didn’t like witnessing this behaviour. Maybe this is more normal than I think?
-
Yeah I'd guess there's a few on every flight and planes aren't falling out of the sky every day.
-
Makes sense. I’m such a rule follower!
-
-
It's a funny thing. The signals from a dozen or so phones are not a problem for a plane. But, there have been no formal safety ratings on hundreds of phones using cellular service while in-flight. It's even probable that there is no interference from everyone using cellular networks, but they don't trust aircraft safety to "probable".
So, they tell people to turn on flight mode and trust in the 90% who do as asked. Don't worry about the 10% on their phones, they'd ban phones in the cabin if there was any doubt at all.
-
was it a Boeing? That'd be a bigger concern for me to be honest.
-
Qantas has wifi on planes now so people could use wifi calling. If they don’t mind getting hosted and sworn at ….

Ended up sleeping 12 hours last night. Guess the new gym program is working!
