Melbourne

I'm doing a favour for someone that involves me spending the night in the Yarra Valley tonight. I have a gorgeous fire going, and I'm kicking back with some yummy cheese. And I'm being genuinely helpful. Love it.

Good Luck from the BatBoys!

Had to clip Mickey's claws a bit - he kept getting them stuck and then not being able to release it and yowling in pain. So I had my partner cuddle him with his oodie, and I used some small curved scissors and just very slightly clipped the very tips of his claws, just to remove the curve.

He did so well, no struggling or freaking out. He wasn't happy, but he wasn't afraid. He such a great cat!

I'll have to grab him a new scratchy thing and keep an eye on his claws.

Ikea sent my stuff in a big box. With a cut out door and window and roof peep hole it will make an excellent cat play house for Bill and Ted. 😸😸

Feeling a bit snack-ey but wasnt impressed with any of the pantry offerings. Thought about cooking a quick cake or something but no packet mixes left. Then I remembered: I'm an adult and a semi-competent baker, I can just make something from scratch. Oat and choc chip muffins now in the overn.

A bit of light home defense jiu-jitsu wasn't on my bingo card. Some persistent drunk dude convinced it was his house. Tried to barge in past me when I opened the gate he'd been rattling. Interested to see how the hernia surgery feels tomorrow, been two months now.

Went and picked up my medical cannabis from the post office today. Very odd, showing my ID, it all being legitimate instead of meeting someone in the corner of the pub. Haven't had any in about 20 years. It is a trial to see if it helps with my chronic pain from all my climbing injuries. Also, the manual for the vaporiser gives detailed instructions of how to pack it.. In 6 different languages ...

is it me or is it freezin'?

So… yesterday while getting some good ole IT support, I tell them I have no write access is because the folder is outside of the directory (that everyone thinks it is in). Emphatically told (x 3) nope, that should not affect my permissions. Then enjoyed a mansplain back to me about where the folder was located (I know, I detailed an email to a senior 2 months ago—who had no idea what I was talking about) and walked me through their cmd force update. It wasn’t particularly patronising, but it was like I wasn’t even heard.

I mean I probably couldn’t IT help desk to save my life, but I can’t say it doesn’t hurt when I’ve done a little fun time hobbying with CLI.

But hey, small wins. At least it was fixed this time. Not like I have been waiting for two months or anything.

Not enough sleep but TGIF!

Work gave me a bag of lollies for R U Ok day and it's mostly those hard lollies that shred your tongue to pieces.

So 'if you are ok, you won't be' is what they're saying.

Here's my playlist for tonight. Starts with 50s 60s 70s 80s and 90s plus added stuff.

Do not recommend tripping balls on demazin and watching brazil

Happy Friday the 13th . Boo.

Party on, Urflings 🤘🍺

One row equals one serve??? I will be the judge of THAT cadbury

Pavlov's Cats. I just got a home delivery, when the door buzzer rang Bill and Ted started licking their lips. mmm, Home delivery is usually food and cat food. Sorry guys, it was just boring Ikea stuff.

Goodnight everyone. Sleep well. 😘

I have a catch up with some (nice) family this weekend but am otherwise free. I am seriously considering just being a big oodie couch gremlin for the day tomorrow. The world has been very noisy of late.

Goodnight everyone ❤️

Won a bottle of Henny from a bet.

Been sipping it this evening and it's goooooooood.

Haven't had Cognac in twentyish years. Been missing out.

I just made a massive bowl of The Pasta From Luca

Ah Friday, I've been waiting for this all week!

Visited the expensive fancy supermarket because craving olive bread. Now have much less olive bread and a belly ache.

I have a parcel which needs a signature (and won't let me change that) coming between 12:10-2:10pm

I have a dentist appointment from 1:30-2:30pm (I'll be out 1-3pm)

I reckon Mr postman Pat is gonna turn up about 10 minutes after I leave

And my post office is very strict on only allowing pickup after 4 for some reason. Even if the message that it's ready for pickup gets sent sooner, and I can literally see my parcel sitting there, they will not allow me to pick it up before 4

🙃

Edit: W E I R D. 5 minutes after posting this I got a notification from the camera somebody coming up the driveway. The usual chatty postman wasn't at my door - a new lady I've never seen before was. She left both of them, including the signature one and by the time I opened the door was already on their electric bike thingy and halfway down my driveway. I hope chatty postman didn't get sacked for being too slow, he was lovely

The fuck has every cunt who knows i'm sick suddenly decided they desperately need me for things fuck off

Dentist done for now. But I have to find somewhere that will take all of my wisdom teeth out at once, and preferably so full general anaesthetic. They suggested the dental hospital because they'll do it for either free or cheap, but it's a very long waitlist, and I won't get in to see anyone until I'm a full adult with full adult responsibilities. I'd rather do it now when there's people around to help me, and I can just not speak for a week with no issues

They suggested a low cost but private clinic in the east somewhere, but she said she would have to call to see what anaesthetic they can do. Apparently they also only accept referrals for certain procedures

Cost isn't too big of an issue, since it's not on my dime for the next 6 months. Part of the reason I want it sorted ASAP

A few things to finialize today and it will have been a productive week of sorts.

Mernda line is down, for those fellow poor bastards who discovered this when they got to the station. Hope your manglement is understanding, mine isn't

Okay Kmart has just got these really cool iridescent skull candles in, and it is taking every ounce of self-control to leave them on the shelf. I do NOT need to spend this money. 😂

Back to Melbs today. So glad to have that swim last night. It just hits differently when there's no one there which is a bit risky. Which brings us to a rave choon.

It dawns on you.. You are potentially staring at, what could be.. Finality 1 million and one ways to die.

Tonight's party maybe the last for a while because the man will be commencing 12 hour days 6 days a week work. Booooo.

After watching Trainwreck Woodstock 99 I got some ideas for a playlist, the moshpit (lounge room) has been vacuumed and we will be causing fucking mayhem (not too much cos I have to clean the mayhem) tonight. This is gonna be PG rated wild.🤘
