Just me, or is the mobile network in the city kaput? Best I've been able to get is H+. Am on Telstra network

I love the paraylmpics for their modified sports. I stayed up watching blind soccer. Argentina v Colombia. It was fast, aggressive, interesting. Scores 0 - 0.

I think I pulled a muscle or something while I was under the house yesterday. My sides are super sore

General and cat ramblesAh Melbcat has licked a hotspot. Itโ€™s fair enough. Things have been intense with meds around the clock, wiping her clean, and interrupting/delaying cuddles to do a dose or chores. (She still gets cuddles every night.) Iโ€™ll keep an eye on it and see if I need to shield the area. Sheโ€™s probably finishing her antibiotics soon.

Pakige.

I shouldnโ€™t have spent money on something frivolous, especially overpriced fast fashion microplastic fabric. And when I could theoretically have sewn one myself. But Iโ€™ve been feeling absolutely terrible lately and wanted a squishmallow so I bought one. I donโ€™t have the energy for patterns and sewing these days.

I also got some sneakers. Theyโ€™re not amazing for padding, kind of hard, but thatโ€™s because cheap. The pseudo slip-on deal is weird but works for me. Miraculously they kind of fit - a little loose but long enough. The wonky shoe proportions worked in my favour for once. Theyโ€™re white so thatโ€™s risky but for now they look clean and presentable.

The 2 pack of wireless bras is probably going to the op shop with tags still on. The band is way too tight and even with a band expander just digs in uncomfortably. Itโ€™s very hard to find something that isnโ€™t awful even when buying brand names and thereโ€™s no time to go to the factory outlet, so Iโ€™ve given up and have just been playing clearance roulette.

After struggling to locate eye(lid)primers I found Nude by Nature, Milani and Barry M at Priceline in Bourke Street.

As UD is usually my holy grail, this is going to be interesting.

Jobs that have a lower cognitive demand than uni but higher cognitive demand than retail?

I fear I need direct instructions but not to the point of monotony.

Most grad jobs really. And there's no homework. That actually makes a huge difference, or it did to me. It's not hanging over you the whole time.

How nice, Mr. Jingoism from last week is back again today, and is talking to our supervisor on the phone going on about how he has the chills and doesn't feel really good and probably picked up something from the childcare (and this person has stacks of leave entitlements), thanks for making the rest of us sick too mate...

Yay. I have yet another key ๐Ÿ™„

Our old back gate in the backyard was on the same binding as our front door, so I could just use my front door key on it. But he changed that, and also installed a lock on the front gate in the front yard (and will install another on the side gate between the yards eventually, but the wood needs to be replaced first). So I now have another key for that.

I now have 11 keys on my keyring, although 3 aren't needed anymore because the padlocks have been removed, and 2 are for my bedrooms which don't currently have locks. So I can remove those for now
