Good morning. 🤗 It's freezing.

Today's title is to celebrate the Fluffy Butt family's achievements and new beginnings.

So the go live was a disaster. to be fair it worked for the first 10 minutes or so. Its the 11th where we started to run into problems. Turns out when the vendor says "yep no worries". what they REALLY meant to say was "Yep? No. Worries!" We got lionel hutz'ed!

And now the blame game begins, but we cant do much when the vendor straight up lies, can we? I didnt pick the vendor or the product. And I'm MORE than happy to call the Vendor and say "Listen here fuckface, you screwed up BAD how are you going to fix it!?" but I dont think the business want me to do that for some reason.

I went to the supermarket and spent money without feeling guilty for being frivolous and buying fruit.

Felt good.

Anti gratitude!

I cannot feel my toes. Left bread directly under the radiator to rise overnight. It sunk. Fragrant brick for breakfast.

The thing I'm looking forward to the most is moving into a place that has insulation.

Slept in - for me - until about quarter to seven then was pinned for an hour by the felines.
What a life, as the yiayia would say.

Was up at 3am again today, but forced myself to go back to sleep until 7am.

Going out to see MIL today, so looking forward to seeing her. She's like the mum I wish I had. She always tells the story of when she first met me and knew her son wasn't coming back to Perth lol. Such a treasure of a human, and it's been a year and a half since we've seen her.

Unsure if I want to go to the footy with them tomorrow though, West Coast vs St Kilda iirc. MIL's partner goes for WC, she and my partner go for Freo, of course. Here I am, lil bomber supporter. I suppose, as a Victorian, I ought to go for the Saints.

The last time I went to the footy was back in the mid-late 2000s. My friend and her family were/are Carlton supporters, and it was Essendon vs Carlton. Essendon won that game, was close too iirc, and the drive home was AWKWARD! Took everything in me not to be all in their faces haha.

Thanks @Catfish for starting the anti-gratitude thread :)

Now I regret not going to the supermarket yesterday.

Late night run last night to the strange and liminal spaces that is bunnings after dark. Why? Well, you see, his lordship accidentally hooked his spunding valve to the beer line on a pressurised keg ferment and we realised we really, really need all the furniture in the brewery to be on wheels so we can hose that room out if need be....

^but at least it really smells like a brewery now^

I swear quick oats sachets tasted way better when I was a kid. Kinda shit now? I'd prefer plain oats

Cold and wimdy 🥶

This might be delulu on my part but hoping to use the wind to dry clothes before the rain really hits at 4 pm.

Think I'll play my old Bob Newhart LPs today. 😿😹

Plotting outfit for ‘Bad Taste’ birthday party tomorrow. Currently all hot pink leopard print and safety vest orange. I do have some orange makeup, but it’s super itchy…

I watched the start of the most absurdly hilarious movie last night. It's called Hundreds of Beavers and the first 30 minutes is basically a Wile E Coyote skit. My god, I was losing it.

I hope the rest of it is just as good.

So question: when you have to rate something that doesn't apply, do you give it a 5 or 3 star? eBay always asks me to rate seller communication, which is almost never relevant. They mark it as posted, and that's generally the extent of the "communication". I have been marking that as 3 stars, but I was thinking, that probably brings down their averages, right? I'd be annoyed if my feedback rate went from 100 to 99.97% because someone thought something was irrelevant.

Seems like a bit of a disconnect between how I issue ratings and how I take ratings into account. All this online review stuff seems to have skewed the bare minimum rating from a 3. i.e I probably wouldn't consider a shop or seller that's only rated 3 stars, even though in my mind, 3 stars means neutral, when it comes to reviews, 3 stars seems bad

Bob Newhart has passed away. The star of the sitcom Newhart (who played Dick) as well as others.

The classic line hi I'm Larry, this is my brother Daryl and my other brother Daryl came from this show.
