Can’t sleep. One of those night where you can’t stop thinking.
Meanwhile:
weeee, 2 weeks of break finally.
Also finally figured out a few things with my car, Somehow I ended up with a leak thanks to a plastic bag being stuck in my back boot and water seeped in via that and made a giant pool where my spare type compartment was.
Discovered it while I was at work and furiously got some containers to scoop as much of the water out.
When I got home I paper toweled and dried everything as much as possible and lifted the compartment panel which will hopefully air dry what little is left but finally now I can rest easy know where that mysterious slushing sound of water was coming from whenever I stopped at a set of traffic lights.
Ok, I’m tired now and need food!
I burnt my fingers last night which prompted me to yell some very very bad words followed by DO NOT COME INTO THE KITCHEN. WE ARE NOT EATING TONIGHT and I’m not even a yeller.
They’re still red today but atleast the swelling has gone down and nothing beer o clock can’t fix.
Eldest minipeeler accidentally kicked Miniest full in the face while sparring last night. He was mortified and ran to his room upset; she thought he was going for a high kick and basically ducked straight into it. She’s ok after a little blood nose but I keep telling them to knock it off, “starts in laughter ends in tears” kind of thing, someone will get hurt, not enough room in a small crowded living room etc. I’m only their mother, what do I know‽ My siblings were from my parents previous marriages and almost adults by the time I was born, so I’m not used to the mucking around casual violence of children growing up together, and sometimes feel emotionally ill-equipt to parent it
I tried to put the harness on Ted.
I survived without being mauled but it was close. The harness is not on him.
oh no. Melbcat is placid while I put hers on but she crouches or flops
Put it on him for meals maybe?
He’s a rescue and close to feral. Wouldn’t work. I just wanted him to be able to go out for walks. 🤷♀️
Oof. Void will harness and lead. Fishycat will harness kinda but flips out if lead is added. Sorry, little one, no outsides for you.
Oh poor Ted. And poor you.
Maybe leave it out for a few days so he can have a sniff and see that it doesn’t attack him? Putting it on might be step two.
He’s just not tame enough. I can hardly pat him without being bit . At least he doesn’t hiss at me anymore when I feed him.
Gibson fucked me up when I tried the harness. She hardly ever hisses but yeah, lesson learned.
Love rainy mornings that clear up before lunch. Something very refreshing about it.
Just waiting for my neighbour to start watering his lawn now…
Just out of spite, at exactly 11:59 it started raining again
I was about to go hang up a load of washing…alas it was not meant to be
It’s sunny again I guess
My back yard is pretty close to the EPA declaring it a natural wetland. Couldnt even imagine watering it.
That’s because you have a life outside of your lawn :)
I didn’t bring the laundry in.
Nice and sunny this morning. It’ll be dry in no time.
Ha ha wot?! Nah drenched here and staying that way.
It’s bright and sunny here. But I slipped on the stairs because they were wet and I didn’t realise because of all the sun, so I believe you
I decided to venture back to IKEA just for the funnies. Apparently if you become family with the IKEA you get 50% off the restaurant on Fridays, so they taught me how to do that. Then I saw they give you discounts on containers so I was like I may as well buy one while I’m here. Then when I was checking out a couple of IKEA people came up to me and asked if I scanned the container.
So uhh, TIL (the hard way) at IKEA you need to scan and pay for containers and their lids. The lids do not come with the containers
Wait what? TIL
I thought they were a package deal
Yeah nah
Just saw yet another accident. Ute got inpatient waiting behind a truck going straight so tried to drive down the wrong side of the road to get to the right turn lane and clipped the side of the truck. Low speed, so minor and no injuries, but it did jumpscare me lol. Then he nearly reversed into us.
I’ve seriously seen more car crashes in the last 6 months than I have in my entire 16.5 years of existence before the last 6 months
Don’t you want me Baby, don’t you you want me woooaasooo
C-c-c-c-ocktailbar that was fun, but I think will stay on watched once
You think that, but the chorus earworms you like fuck.
I have a radio station in my head. Ear worms can be literally painful. Eurythmics mostly at the moment, ok, I like them. The 3 weeks of Susan ad (clothing shop) was excruciating
Ok so I was going to do classic movie + pizza night tonight but I’m really not feeling very hungry. I haven’t really eaten much today either. I did have a plate of Sweden meatballs from IKEA (pretty sure it would have been illegal not to), but that’s really all I’ve eaten today. And watching the godfather without pizza just doesn’t feel right.
I might just watch more prisoner. I’m about half way through the 600 episodes
Like old school Prisoner? Vinegar Tits and The Freak?
Yep. I’m an odd youngin, aren’t I?
Nah. It’s a must see Aussie viewing.
Spoiler Alert: Have you see the bit when Queen Bea sizzles the baby killer Lyn Warner’s hands in the ironing press?
I have indeed, that happened in one of the first episodes. But no more spoilers please, I’m only halfway through
Righto
He used to give me roses…I wish he could again…but that was on the outside and things were different then…
It was kinda funny how in the first episode they cut to the theme song right after a woman stabbed her husband. I guess he won’t be giving her roses any time soon
Hey you know what you have to watch next? All the old Countdown shows. I reckon you’d love that! Every aussie and international act was on Countdown back in the day.
Mmmm my house smells like vinegar and now I want fish and chips 🤤
What’s the best fish and chips in your area?
Flakes on Sydney Road or Docks Fish and Chips. Last time I went to Docks and was not disappointed at all! I usually go to Flakes, though.
thanks, there isn’t a chippy here in carlton anymore so I’m always looking for new places :)
There’s one on Lygon, isn’t there?
Could also venture up into North Melbourne to Errol St for mine
Can’t give glowing reports on either of the 2. Charles ST would be thecpoorer.
Had to keep it real with a Vietnamese teenage boy and inform him that Koalas are not naturally cuddly and in fact can be quite vicious and scratch you. Only Koalas kept in captivity will tolerate at best human contact.
So you killed some poor bastard’s dream?
I saved him from future Koala assault.
Drop bears are real; they look like koalas but will fuck you up bad. You did good warning him
Honestly no native animal in Australia is friendly really. They are outright hostile, dangerous or at best avoidant.
I guess the quokka could be one.
omg
I used to think drop bears were joke. I know better now. Those cunts are serious business.
That’s the risk you take when cuddling a cute little furry koala.
And now he knows the risk whereas before he did not.
Feel free to nominate someone like Peter Dutton
I like the name of this song, want to direct some of these words to someone right now.
Sing it loud. Sing it proud my friend.
Peter Dutton, it’s just constant daily cuntery with him. Every word out of his mouth is offensive.
I couldn’t think of anyone more cuntier.
This is the earliest night I’ve had in a few weeks. Enjoy your evening everyone ❤️
