Checks the clock “oh shit it’s almost 9:30!” Feels very, very old suddenly.
I’ve been struggling to stay awake since 7.30, so think I’ve done pretty well lasting this long. Am also feeling old
yep, I’m going to do a little end of day tidying and then it’s watching some tv time
It’s miserable weather, but at least I can now be confident my heater is up to the task.
I’ve now done the setup for the outdoor security cameras, I just need the weather to improve enough for me to go outside and mount them. It’s just a couple of screws to clamp on to the gutter so it shouldn’t take too long - the hardest bit will be deciding the best postion for the one in the back yard.
Unfortunately my leave is over and I have to go to work tomorrow. My first night shift in ages, hopefully the novelty of meeting a bunch of new people and learning how to do my job in a different place will stop me falling asleep.
Good luck. 😊
Gosh I feel like I’ve been a total shut in this week with what happened to me, catching up on work and the cold weather. Winter hibernation mode is activating big time. I’ve got a birthday dinner tomorrow night and actually looking forward to some social time with friends, I really need it.
How are you feeling?
Much better today! My head is still sore to the touch where I was hit but the headaches are reducing. Still a bit sensitive to super bright lights and loud people but I was never a fan of either to begin with haha
Have a great time. You deserve it.
very windy, house creaking 🫥
The wind seems to have died down a bit here. The feels like temp is now 0.3o which is the warmest I’ve seen it all day!
Our house backs onto a reserve and it’s pretty open and north facing.
When it’s windy, it’s windy.
If not for roller shutters, our windows would have caved in several times now.
😧
I’m probably exaggerating, but them shutters rattle like the devil on days like today.
Probably sounds worse than it is.
Had to go outside to throw some stuff away.
That wind out there is quite strong.
I’m so tired but I don’t want to waste my Friday night. I haven’t even had the weekly doughnut fries.
Might take a longer nap with Fluffball.
Resist, try and stay up!
The new soft mattress topper calls to me lol.
I’ve got dessert on the way, went for a wake up walk and now I’m settled in for the night.
I want to play Claire obscura but I don’t want to start till I finish doom. I’m one of those “one game at a time” people.
I’m going to try a double movie tonight. Accountant 1 and 2 though the footy is on at the moment so watching that.
If you’re headed off soon I hope you have a good night!
I’m now nocturnal and kind of withdrawing from everyone. I think I’m getting really depressed.
15 more sleeps until the solstice. Then the sun starts to come back. Keep posting. We are here
Updates about melbcat are sweet, but I find it sweeter to read what you’re up to, even if it’s nothing at all. I care about you.
Fixing sleep is hard, and lack of vit d wouldn’t help (I mean just even the sun on your skin, not even necessarily vitamin d)
Sending you my love and good vibes 💜
There’s a lot of good in you Melba. I don’t think anyone else would’ve shown Melbcat the commitment and love that you’ve shown. Your care for her embodies the ideal of every being deserving a loving chance at life. Not many people can say that.
Stick with us, Melba. We care about you!
Keep posting here, we care about you.
so many hugs
What the others said! We are here for you ❤️
A while ago I confiscated a couple of vapes. Tonight we tried them out. Fuck. No wonder the kids are addicted to this shit.
It’s pretty bad these days. They can get the disposables pretty much anywhere without ID.
The government got rid of the good guys and opened the gates to the blackmarket people to sell to kids.
What happened when you tried them?
Nothing happened. They taste fruity.
Oh ok, I’ve never tried them out either.
I just watched How to Train Your Dragon and I thought it was excellent.
But then I read reviews. People have said it ruins the books and turns them into a generic coming-of-age plot, and also if you liken Hiccup to an autistic person, it describes how society shits on autistic people and glorifies them when they exhibit savant like moments.
was this the life action or the cartoon?
But also; fuck the reviews. Your experience is your experience and what you take away is just that.
Cartoon!
Seconded on fuck the reviews.
Our entire world is run on and infinite treadmill of criticism. Your subjective experience is the only voice that matters when it comes to art and media.

If you enjoyed the movie then it was a good movie. Don’t listen to the naysayers, your opinion counts. 😊
I haven’t seen this movie or read this book, however I enjoy other perspectives on art. It actually helps solidify your opinion in some cases or it can open your eyes to ideas you might not have considered.
Absolutely!
Alrighty. I have soft mattress topper. Yay lol
I just got one of those.
I’m embarrassed to admit I didn’t have one before. Just one of those things I never really learned or thought about.
Time for a test nap lol
Edit: wow. I’ve been missing out lol
I got a foam squidgey one because my hips were still sore side-lying, it seems to be doing the trick.
I’m having the opposite problem I think - I’m very much a side sleeper and my right shoulder has been a lot more sore since I started using a soft mattress topper about 20 months ago. I feel like it’s because there’s not enough support. Dunno…
ahh the quest for decent bedding.
Wevver is about to fall in a heap. Stay warm, everyone!
I’m still safe and warm in the uni library greedily using up their heating. My bedroom heater will click on very soon (to help make it less miserable for poor sox who is also in the dark), but the rest of the house will be rather sad. I’ll be booted out of here in 45 minutes and home is just a 5 minute drive away so hopefully I can rescue the place from being too much of a freezing prison.
Maybe a nightlight and a heated kitty bed are in order 🥺
Edit: This one from Pawz is down to $40 from 80-ish, Temple and Webster has one on clearance at $35. This one is $46-50 at Harvey Norman, Big W, and Bunnings.
Melbcat’s was $40 at Kmart but they don’t seem to sell electric ones anymore
I’m so annoyed that I can’t find the heating pad I bought for her years ago - I think it was one of the few things I didn’t give to her owner when I moved house. I might get one of those cheap ones for her and give that to her owner when he gets back.
Most days I’m home well before it gets dark but next week I might have several long days. I think I’ll make a note to keep the bedroom lamp on at all times
Feels like it already has. Water bottle and blanket just made me fall asleep.
Now I’m debating if I should make bolognaise tonight or tomorrow.
I’m thinking of anyone brave/silly enough to go camping this weekend. I’ll be outside for a bit tomorrow and that’ll be quite enough.
On the couch in warm house about to watch a movie. Yay for heating!
My dentist was late for the appointment. Her car was updating and she was left stranded for a bit. Both funny and sad.
I guess she didn’t press the “LATER” button.
Cars update now?!
Yeah. It’s wild out there
Erin Patterson, a proven liar, sitting on the stand and claiming that everyone else is lying about her and what she said is actually wild.
There’s a bloke in the US like that and he’s currently the President.
If you believe your own lie, it’ll manifest itself as truth.
Woof, well done.
Sometimes being right is a curse.
She keeps asserting her lies until she gets completely cornered by the evidence and then changes the story and comes up with some excuse for the lies. Excuses like, oh I was embarrassed, oh I got confused, etc. I think she did it.
My wife has been fascinated by this case and listens to the daily podcast about it. She’s gone from “oh she definitely did it” to “maybe she’s innocent, I can’t be say beyond reasonable doubt” after this week’s testimony. So Erin is clearly doing some good for her case on the stand.
I haven’t been following the case closely, but I listened to one recap podcast a week ago where they describe the multiple phones, the missing phone seen on camera that wasn’t provided, with the one provided to police being factory reset first, and taking her dehydrator on CCTV to the tip after telling police she didn’t have one - it was all pretty damning.
but she didn’t have a dehydrator, she used to have one
I would like to see the police questioning, I bet it wasn’t very good
Shows that the defence is doing a very good job! I think Erin is destroying it for them though.
She says 6 were made, one each for her guests, one for her and one that her child ate part of minus the toxic mushrooms which she scraped off.
3 people dead, one seriously ill, one made herself puke because she ate too much cake and one unscathed. Something doesn’t add up.
It’s wild that she’s saying ‘I never’ in relation to plates and announcing cancer, when her FIL says the opposite
I reckon the only reason she recited those plates are because they’re the ones that were shown on the evidence video earlier in the trial.
Cheers everyone 🍺

It’s time to go meet The Paintress, OH BOY!!!
Is The Paintress a band?
It’s a pivotal character Expedition 33.
It’s my fault since I hooked a few people on it by posting up videos.
Oh. You’re an influencer. 👍
Kelp. I’m broken.
It’s a wild journey, have fun!
Thanks for reminding me. I’ve been playing the new doom this whole time.
How is it?
Best fps I’ve ever played. It’s like it’s built for me lol
Probably the best game I’ve played all year. Nearly finished but kind trying to platinum on the side.
For those that come tomorrow
We continue.
Goodnight all❤️
