Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)

Man she was pissed when I dared wake her up so I could have some space on the bed. The nerve of me.
Mrs's cat came over and went "I want a pat... wait, your not mrs B! Wait..... is she around? Can she see us? hmmm, ok, you may pat me but ONLY if you dont tell her I am cheating". Her cat and I have a very complicated relationship.
The thing I love the most about cats, and maybe Gibson in particular, is the sheer fucking audacity and attitude for a ball of fluff that is literally 1/20th my size.
Zero fucks given. "I do what I want, when I want and too fucking bad if you don't like it. If you try to stop me in any way, I will make your life miserable for as long as I deem necessary".
I respect the confidence lol
My Pepper has that confidence. All 3kg of her, and it'd only directed at me. Every one else gets lovey Pepper, I get spicy bitch cat! I still love her, and suffer multiple scratches from trying to show her how much.
Spicy bitch cat ๐ ๐ ๐
Her nickname is Pepperoni. There is also a home made song about her being the spiciest of all the sausage cats.

So I think we solved the mystery of the rabbit: a tiny hole has been discovered by Miniest on the fence line. Last night Mr P heard someone next door calling something before the rabbit disappeared again. The neighbours must have gotten a rabbit at some point and put/built a hutch on the other side of the fence, perhaps using the fence as a wall of the hutch ๐ค๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ After a couple of visits this morning (it wasn't happy Mr P had rearranged things in his man cave; it'd started making a cozy little spot for itself under his couch near the warmth of the heater) Mr P said he's going to block the hole. I'll pop a note in their letterbox telling them what's happened and suggesting that they reinforce their side of the fence where the hutch is.
Had a mate whos neighbors had a rabbit they just couldnt contain. The thing was like Houdini. No matter how hard they tried it would always escape. A different neighbors kid apparently went to their parents as were like "mummy mummy, there is a loaf of bread in the front yard! now a bird is attacking it!" It survived that one. It sadly didnt survive the neighbour with a greyhound. The greyhound owners were super apologetic, the rabbit owners were upset but said "we tried so hard, but we knew this day was gonna come, unless we kept it chained up this was gonna happen".

Poor Magic Bunzorr(ette) :(
I had a pet rabbit once upon a time. He lived inside with me and my partner.
His name was Totoro and he had floppy ears.
Miss that little dude.

Interview went well! Hopefully hear if I'm onto the next stage tomorrow. Will also include a practical test, but let's see what happens! Thanks for the good vibes, peeps!!
Today, or I guess yesterday, was such a nice day. Not a huge fan of this new day we're doing with cold and rain again, though.
it's the hay fever ๐คง๐คง๐คง
Sitting in an online meeting and we're on our 4th presenter. Every single presenter has made a point of doing an acknowledgement of country. It's beginning to lose it's meaning.
Really awkward time to wake up feeling fully rested and refreshed.
There's nothing like having a nice relaxing bath with........ an audience and running commentary. I provided the entertainment now they need to make me a cuppa tea.
Audience and running commentary?
What were you doing? A bathtub performance?
Did you at least score 9s?
They owe you a cuppa for sure.

Do people honestly breeze through life living safe and carefree? I just can't. Way too many bad things have happened to me to live in such a delulu state.
No. Or rather, not all the time. I've had some baaad shit when I was younger which was largely of my own making, but have come now to a safe haven. Which I will defend with my life. I intend to live long enough to be a nuisance to my younger relatives. It will be good for their souls if they have any such thing. This should not be difficult I think.
I was in Footscray a while back and my husband said "we'll cross here" and I said "no we won't" and we kept walking. He understood I saw something he didn't. So if you're talking about personal safety yeah some people walk through life unfazed and for some of us (most women) have our eyes and ears open at all times whilst outside.

It depends what you choose to focus on.
If I let what I've experienced be my focus I would dig a hole and lay down in it.
From my perspective, I do my best to never let any of the negative stuff I've experienced stop me from living the life I want.
I fail often. But I never give up. We may not be able to change the things that make our lives harder, but we can still live our lives on our own terms.
Edit: We can't let our pain define us.
even people who live a financially secure life can have bad things happen. Illness, accident, bereavement, interactions with bad people, victims of crime, natural disaster could happen, war
Like Pilk said, the middle path is best. It can be a struggle tho to remember that bad times are usually short lived,
But more than that ...
I've read whole books on this, philosophy and psychiatry books. People who live best are those who have stable healthy relationships with friends and family . This helps them cope with adversity and brings extra joy in good times.

Is it an RDO in the construction sector today? Not a single ford ranger on the roads.
Rain predicted, plenty of sites will be shut. Cause you know...if one trade can't work, none of the others can either.

...pakidge.....
Ran out of monthly audiobook hours on spotify half way through listening to Reaper Man (part of an ongoing quest to finally read/listen to all the Terry Pratchett books). But I had a voucher for amazon from a stuffed up delivery so I bought an actual book copy because it's probably my favourite so far.

Migraine. Agony.
I know not of this cold basking in 22C and full sun out in Bestern Australia. 29C tomorrow, then a Melbourne-esque pivot to 19C and rain on Friday before I head home.
I'm not really that keen on going back to work at one of my jobs after this...

Just found out a neighbor (man in his 60s) was being love scammed. Relatives have been warming him for six months it's a scam.
Now he's spent all of his savings and he's been evicted.
I have some sympathy, but I can't help but think his pig headedness is a big contributor here.

Horizon Zero dawn remaster, despite you know only being released and perfectly playable on the ps5. What about the original ratchet and clank trilogy? Infamous 1 or 2? Jack and Daxter remaster? No? How about some stuff that ISNT playable on ps5 instead of a title that absolutely IS playable?!

Looking up ideas to make a new 3d filament rack...and seeing a lot of clearly "man putting hobby in closet so can hide to please wife"
...so glad I'm the wife. And the resident trashpanda. And we have our own offices that the other person gets zero fucking say on.
I don't know what any of that means but I can tell you if you leave anything on my kitchen (my office) table it will be seriously pointed at until it is removed.

Turns out I haven't been drinking enough water for the movicol to do its thing.
Apparently 8 sachets in 1 day is a lot lol
I might have a slow day today, just do stuff slowly and without stress and also try to finish this dinosaur lego thing I have. ๐
Rainy today. Iโm sitting here with the heater one and the sound of traffic and rain on.
Donโt know is this is of any interest to you because it comes from a video game ambit late last night I started a game called Death Stranding and the vibes from the intro sequence which was mostly cinematic reminded me of you and what you might enjoy watching.
