Can someone tell me what planet is in retrograde or why I have such random anxiety today? There’s no reason but it’s been shocking all day. I had a great night’s sleep last night too…
I just did a tarot reading for my partner lol this is weird to see this.
I blame the weather tbh, I haven’t been able to breathe through my nose since the flowers bloomed and I’ve been quite shitty since
Yeah I am loaded up on antihistamines but I’ve still be generally itchy and off. Maybe it is that. And the full moon!
That damn man in the moon messing with our auras and chakras -shakes fist at sky-
Throw a fist full of crystals at the fucker!
I should have tidied up my stationery earlier - I found $100!!!
I recall a couple of years ago thinking I must have been overly optimistic in my estimates of how much money I had received from selling some of my stuff, I guess I was right after all. Shoving my cash inside a random notebook until I could put it in the bank seemed like a good idea at the time.
winning 🙂
You got paid for cleaning!
Back home now after work.
Don’t forget to get petrol folks. Price is expected to go up in the next few days.
Also to end the day I was greeted by this after it rained.
Thanks for the petrol reminder - just about time as I’m down to maybe 10%, pay day this week, so perfect timing to fill up.
If you need more time and peace of mind about petrol and don’t mind using the 7-11 app and having an account for it you can fuel price lock in a price of your nearest 7-11s in your area for a week.
P-p-p-p-paaaydaaay
Mine too! too bad it’s late in the evening though :(
Mine’s osko’d at 7am thank fuck
Wish mine was that early, mine’s around 8pm.
Been 2 times this year that it’s come in around 4pm.
Getting paid today too. Mine generally hits around 2 pm or so.
Oh that’s awesome.
Definitely helps if going shopping in the afternoon
Oh yeah…
I get paid fortnightly and August has worked out to be a 3 pay month. This is the off week though
ugh I wish, my b’day is early sept. My next triple is october
Mines in and half gone already.
S-s-s-s-saammmeee!!
That’s one way to make hump day better!
Morning all
Good morning, good morning, its … cornflake time!
Great, now for some reason I have Cornflake Girl by Tori Amos stuck in my head :P
Stupid brain.
Today we get tortured by whatever the fuck Departmental Speed Dating is. Meltdown anticipated later.
Can you google a set of ideal questions for the activity? eg, https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/the-36-questions-that-lead-to-love/8387736
Scheduled corporate mandatory fun!!!
The people that enjoy it are the ones to avoid.
100%
What the actual fuck?
It was just as awful as you might imagine. I have run away and acquired a bottle of plonk.
Make haste. Drink it on the tram home.
Pakige on board for delivery today. Not sure if it is the cat food or the dishwasher tablets. Not the most exciting surprise, but better than nothing.
Mickey’s vaccination all done and caught up. Poor puss hates the carrier, but hates the vet more haha
I have to drug Gibson before taking her to the vet lol. She’s so funny when she’s high 🤣
Hope you feel better soon!
I luckily don’t have to do that haha, Mickey is just a wriggly boi!
But I did have to grab his legs like a hog-tie to stop him spreading them out hahaha couldn’t do it the way they teach at school, and I hate grabbing them by the scruff (it’s kinda okay when they’re very young kittens, but the older the cat the more strain it places on their neck when scruffed, causing damage and an angry, in-pain cat; there are better ways to do it).
Oh my god aren’t cats just masters of lightning-fast leg splits and finding every possible way to avoid getting into a carrier. One cat I looked after was veeeery wriggly - you needed two pairs of hands almost, to hog-tie her front paws and back paws and insert her into the carrier vertically. Otherwise it would take me 10 very exhausting minutes to get her in. It didn’t help that she was moderately fluffy so you didn’t always know where the cat started and ended and she used that to her advantage… even the cattery people had trouble with getting her into a carrier.
Omg 😂😂 that’s so funny the poor cat hahahah
I did this by myself and basically did the same maneuver; shoved him in front paws and head first, and used that hand to throw the prepped towel over his head, then lowered his back half in - he was very displeased when we got home and I got a soft bite to my cheek for the audacity
How are you feeling from the gastro?
Tired AF, amongst all the other T H I N G S I’ve been dealing with.
Currently just waiting for someone’s (trauma) but soon, later today, I will study
Was there yowling on the tram?
Indeed there was! I actually had a lovely convo with a man about cats haha
I hate doing the dishes. That is all.
Worse chore than cleaning the loo. Hate it!
When I’m at work (food manufacturing) I don’t mind because I’m getting paid for it, so when I’m doing it at home it seems an especially thankless task!
I don’t mind doing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen. I hate putting the dishes away.
I always splash myself like an idiot
If you have the bench space get a countertop dishwasher. Highly recommend. Life changing.
Those milk crate sized things?
Yeah that’s one.
Me too. Its endless. I try to minimise creating them when cooking but they spawn anyway from whichever circle of hell they arise from. Forever. Until death do us part. Or maybe not, if that’s the particular hell I get assigned to in the afterlife.
I’ve taken today off to look after the boys. It will be nice to look after them properly instead of trying to watch them whilst tethered to a laptop
I don’t like bragging, but this is shortlived so I’m gonna own it.
I got my other assignment back yesterday.
Again.
I thought I was looking at the previous one. But nope. 2 x 92’s in a row. Couldn’t believe it.
excellent ☕
Smashing it! Nice!
Thanks!
Roadworks in my street today. Wonder how long it’ll last this time. It’s only been a couple of years since the last lot, and my street is only 10 houses long!
Update on the diverse lifestyle magpies in my street, as of last night. Old Mrs magpie has moved 3 streets over and found a new (male) mate known to all as the Admiral (a long term resident), but still enjoys rolled oats from my hand. She hasn’t built a nest yet. Young Mrs magpie has taken a young male mate (as yet unnamed by us), and has built a nest just over the road in a street tree. It’s too far up to see if there are eggs yet, but we can hope. The young male, who is a complete dill and alternates between doing his duty by feeding young Mrs magpie, and begging food from her. He doesn’t take food from humans yet, though young Mrs magpie has started doing so for the first time just a week ago. We think he’s still learning how to do husbanding properly, but as he’s less than 2 years old that’s not surprising. Young Mrs magpie is also about 2 years old. Will keep you all updated on this teenage romance.
I’m keen on magpie love story updates.
Interestingly there’s pair down the bellarine and only the female will eat from my hand. The male wants absolutely nothing to do with me.
Cuteeee! This could be a TV series
Id watch this.
I’ve decided I’m gonna make horses doovers for dinner on Friday (perhaps). So far I’ve got devilled eggs, blinis with smoked salmon, bruschetta and mini sausage rolls.
I’m trying to include all the important 5 food groups, butter, cheese, bread, pastry and cucumber. It’s gonna be so classy with beer.
Blinis suck
What if you put a disgustang sardine on it instead?
I mean it might help but like gimme a cracker instead
Shut your mouth! Mine are delicious!
Little disgusting imitation pikelet babies
Hahaha.
Aldi have these little puffy premade pancakes so I thought I’d cut one in half, spread a little chive cream cheese, sliver of smoked salmon and a slice of cucumber. Put the lid back on. Not really a blini but close enough.
Blinis are drop scones made with buckwheat - and delicious with smoked fish. And even more delicious with cream cheese & cranberry jam/sauce. Yep the same stuff that goes on turkey. I say go the blinis!
Don’t judge the homemade ones by the horrible little puddles of crud that caterers serve up under that name.
Cucumber boats filled with a little of what you fancy?
I’m thinking about doing burgers for abit, Beef patties, cheese.
I’ve noticed the price of bacon has gone by so much now that I might have to start skipping it.
Might fall back on just doing basic double patties and double cheese or adding tomato and onions or something.
Ham, sliced in a packet (champagne or smoked, whatever) or a roast ham thing, is a good way to substitute bacon (I just realised that sounded silly, both are pig ha).
Just chop it up into small squares/dice it and throw it in the pan till crispy!
Not sure if you’ll believe it but per unit price of ham is just as expensive as bacon!
We truly are living in the end-times 😭
I bought some really nice patties and had been doing double beef/cheese burders with lettuce, tomato and cheese. A classic but delicious.
I might just end up doing super basic double beef and double cheese and leave it at that.
pickles cut lengthways into 1/4s
Oh god yes I’m here for the pickles.
After my wedding day and the birth of my child, I’d say best-day-of-my-life-#3 would be when I went to Katz’s Deli in NY and consumed triple my own body weight in pickle-laden sandwich perfection.
