Every morning I greet my little dog with "Good morning princess. Would you like breakfast?" And every morning he responds with a meow. We don't care who hears us.
The cats did not want to let me up aside from to feed them, which was not a problem, except I had to do a Coles run.
On;ly problem was that by the time I'd peeled myself out from under, showered etc and gone down, the day was nearly over.
Eh well, I've been hard at it most of the week with Operation Sort Shit so a slow day certainly won't hurt.
Miss Meow is "helping" me study by walking over the keyboard, walking in front of the screen and rubbing her face on the corners to the whole thing wobbles.
Another fun night of guitar. Came up with a really awesome part that'll be great in another track that's on the go.
Once this one is finished it's time to go back and do the vocals. Then I can start auditioning band members.
Fun times!
I have shopped till I dropped! And by dropped I mean sat down due to chronic pain. Though I have to say I have done a lot better. Got some manga's, I even went to incub8r (for those who love artist alley at conventions this is one way to support artists. They have a lot of fan stuff, I love it!). And I got a book I've been wanting for a few months now.
Only downside is that I didn't get the manga I really wanted. But I am happy with what I have. I hope everyone has had a good Saturday!
Just say your kid has gone out for the night (and overnight) and you find some special biscuits that have been in the cupboard for the past 2ish years would you give them a crack? Also would you wash them down with a large Coles express coffee even though you've already had two large coffees and a cup of tea today? Also if you were to experiment what comedies would you watch?
Update: we ate the biscuits. Surprisingly still crispy but with a slightly out of date taste. Ah well let's see.
Watching the Tillies vs Sweden tonight and can confirm I am a firm fan of the Tillies 💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛 (which is big for me as an obnoxious kiwi rugby union fan) now in the process of choosing a WSL team.
Soxcat is back to regular operation - no deathmatch antagonism but no hyper cuddly confused hormonal shenanigans either. Thank fuck we can both relax on this miserable weekend. I also need to buy more churus because that is clearly the way to her heart.
Aye Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us
The stories you tell
Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well Everyone yodelling now
Olole eee lulululu
Olele eee eee eee eee
Study success - I was further along in my assignment than I thought. It's finished with days to go. Just one online quiz to go which I can do this afternoon, then I can focus on the new material I'm behind on. A nice brain-clearing walk with Mr Woof is planned first.
I'm struggling a bit to get everything done on time with these subjects (sustainable housing and gardening) not because they are hard but because they relate to my own life so much that I keep agonising over decisions and spending a lot of time on little details. It does make it even more worthwhile doing it though.
I've been feeling oddly musical tonight. I went through several of those Spotify radio playlist things from songs I like and found about a dozen songs I really like. I don't know how to play a guitar, or a piano, or really even drums (though I did give it a go once), but that's still not gonna stop me from acting like I can 🤣
I don't overly get ASMR, but in movies the sound of leather sole shoes on the pavement or cutlery on china really hits that pleasure part of my brain.
Side note, one day when I am not sharing a house with a person who loves a modern mute palette, I will have the early 1940s decorated house of my dreams! Especially the kitchen complete with those round ended bone handled knives that I adore so much.
Got a couple of big costs coming up (doggo booked in for surgery next week and need to buy a new vacuum cleaner) so I should to be budgeting a bit...but the lure of eating a takeaway burger for dinner tonight is just too great....
Alright brains trust, anyone got recommendations for somewhere to take a dad in his 60s for dins around the Hawthorn area? No cuisine preference but somewhere you can hold a conversation. Unfortunately it isn't my hood so I'm pretty unfamiliar.
I wish I was me now but it was March 2012 instead, so I could go see my current obsession Electrelane play at the Corner. Not only did I not even listen to them back then, but I would've been too young to go anyway smh
Rest day from exercise for me today and thank goodness too. I caught a chill at work yesterday. There's a big roller door that's kept open during the day for deliveries, and even though it's got heavy plastic strips hanging there, that freezing cold wind was whipping straight in. I was working at a prep bench right near there. I started to feel the impact of that fall I had a couple of days ago too and mopping the floor became like an uphill battle of exhaustion. Then by the time I was on the bus coming home I'd started violently shivering.
Woke up during the night and I was freezing and everything hurt and I could hardly move. Managed to get back to sleep after putting on an extra layer of clothes, beanie and hoodie, and took some pain killers. And cranked the heater up. Feel a lot better this morning just exhausted.
Edit: got to talk to the boss about closing that door during the day when it's like that, even though it's a huge inconvenience for everyone. Also, can anyone recommend any reasonably priced hoodies that are actually warm? A lot of them seem so cheaply made and aren't actually warm, just a layer (like the one I was wearing unfortunately).
