bonus cuteness

Whoohoo! MRI results came back and the neurologist says all clear. Well, his exact words were "there's nothing major" but I'll take that as a good thing. Also my psych appointment for the ADHD assessment has been brought forward from November to next week. I hope they confirm it because it would explain a hell of a lot and I can get finally get treatment.

- nice light with the doggo this afternoon

Edit - some idiot has brought a cat to the dog park on a lead

Bill and Ted report.

Ted is a very happy cat and when not running around exploring he's chirping saying "Hi everyone, what's up?" or "Is it dinner yet?" or sitting in a sunny spot being chill or sleeping in his little bed.

Bill is not so happy but will slowly settle down.

I'll try to get some more pics today.

Fuck it. The heaters going on. This is ridiculous.

It sounds like I'm going to have to break lease and move.

Housemate is not dealing well with uni, and keeps ranting about wanting to fight someone. When I told them to turn the tv down from arsehole levels at 6am, he started punching up the clothes horse.

Good news everyone the ageratum survived the night in the fridge.

The flowers for the wedding on Sun. is sorted hooray

My parents bought me a delightfully funny present for the new fourby.

Edit - no idea why it flipped the image, also no idea why I can't flip it back..

going to the state library to smash out some assignments I've been woefully avoidant of all week...... hurray

I crash napped and went out late again only to catch another snail creeping towards my seedlings. He mysteriously became airborne.

Also the internet capitalism insanity continues and I’m in the mood to rant.

Edit: Oh yeah, the Pantone thing happened a year ago. It’s not new. I just found out about it

PSA: Mernda & Hurstbridge lines part suspended due to fatality incident at Jolimont Station. Buses replacing trains to Clifton Hill, then delayed services on both lines. Best find another way to get home tonight. Was on the station at the time and saw the incident. Not nice at all.
Hopefully will be fixed by the end of the football match at MCG, but don't bet on it.

That little ventolin-adjacent pill last night successfully reset my lungs with no observable side effects.
I am coughing like a normal person again.

Well my day has started out badly. Was rushing out and turned out of my car port too sharply and fast and ended up damaging my rear car door and scraping it along brick work.

Fml

Dug deep enough to peel off paint and even warp the end of the rear door and the chassis a little.

Car will function still and not sure if the damage will cause any ill effects.

God I hate my life and this hurts so bad

it's a real "Hoodie and loud punk rock" kind of mood today.

I am such a nong! Didn't set up a reminder to chuck a cursory amount to grow my savings balance for two whole months and missed out on like $400 of the bonus interest which is why I signed up for this account in the first place 😭 I could've really used that! Talk about stupid tax...

...oh well, can't turn back time, have put in a reminder now; I'll get this month's at least. After that, one time chunk coming out to buffer me for the rest of this year, and every month after I'll be trying to get as much interest as I can out of the remainder.

Have done about 80m of the new watering system and just hit it with 600kPa kapow mfer! Take that!

It took it.. that's great. Starting to feel a bit more confident it'll be at worst a moderate to good design.

But hearing water course through them pipes was satisfying.

All i need now are the pressure reducers / backlfow, filters, air + flush valve thingos and that's the first 1/3rd done.

If you choose to talk about something to someone that they don't necessarily care about, the whole subtext is sharing how you're feeling, right?

Ok I didn't phrase that very well. What I don't like is how I listen to people's shit and am patient with them, even if I'm not necessarily interested in the topic, yet other people wouldn't do the same for me.

Is it not a basic human decency thing to do?

Morning everyone.

I have no interest in knowing how you’re all going to vote. I won’t ask that.

But there is a pretty good short primer on Aunty ABC today about what the constitution is and where the Voice would go in it if it passes

Happy Friday. Cheers munchkins 🍺

Found myself on the “Isle of the Dead” today

- I think someone's opinion on this gives you good idea about what sort of person they are.

I just did party pies in the microwave for 4 minutes and then in the airfryer for 5 minutes. Cuts the time in half. Work smarter not harder people.

The funny thing is yous probably already do that. I am slow. Hahaha.

Oh and they turned out fabulous.

I will not have any caffeine after 12 noon ever again unless I desperately need to

Fuck I accidentally posted in the brisbane one but I deletoed that..

But here's what I was hoping to say.

I'm getting a potao cake today and it's stoic af considering what this w/e is looking like.

edit: and the ageratum still looking okay in the fridge so I think that's an okay flower

This is ‘use up leftover veggies’ and tofu dinner. Roasted, with some chili, Cajun spice and soy sauce to serve. Very tasty!

Tastes better than it looks, lol

It does seem morning runs are better. Who would've thought eh?... definitely not me. Just a shorter 3.8km this morning on account of having a meeting soon and needing quite a bit of time to stop sweating. Doggo back asleep.

Scheduled rest day in the exercise program today. It goes 3 days of exercise and 1 day off in a repeating cycle. However, and I'm not sure how long ago I started doing this, maybe a couple of weeks, but I started doing standing bicycle crunches whenever I'm waiting for the Minipeelers to answer a question I've asked. It goes something like, "What do you guys want for breakfast?" commence crunches while waiting for answer Child answers eventually and I cease crunches. I sometimes get quite a few in before they answer! They found it funny at first but now it's normalised. Also, I didn't realise how many questions I ask my kids!

On hold to Cennalink. Get your bets down as to how long I'll be on hold this time around.
Edit: 40 mins plus the five minutes on hold while they entered my deets.

Friday night conundrum - fish & chips OR pizza? Just don't feel like unfreezing something.

trained my puppers to swing through the trees like tarzan:

Welp doctors are done and I was right I now have tendonopathy in my wrist. I actually hate being hypermobile.
