Pet day? Hello from the top of the cupboards where carrier avoidance due to V E T appointment is ongoing

Ok, old pic, but repeat incoming…

Said goodbye to Toby this morning. What a fantastic little dude he was.

I give you shoebox cat for pet appreciation day.

We rent, so don't have pets. This is Cara:

She was a sweet old girl belonging to dad (and Mum before she passed). This photo is my kids saying goodbye to her - it was her last visit before she had to go.

I don't really miss her like she's shown here, but boy do I miss her when she was young! I could take her on a 10km run and she was so fast that she made me faster trying to keep pace. Jack Russells will run forever if you let them.

I walked Ted to Lort Smith for some vaccinations and bum fur trimming. He was a total champ. 🐈‍⬛ Never whinged or meowed, liked looking around when he was in his walker. Of course he tried to nip the doc and nurse. He loved seeing all the other animals in the hospital waiting room.

He is also overweight so he is on a diet of less food. Here he is home again with Bill looking over shoulder.

Edit:

oh I also saw some ground parrots at campus today

The male was camera shy 😂

Fluffy boy, complete with grinch feet

Just wanted to thank everyone for their rather raw sharing of feelings yesterday. I realized late last night what my biggest fear was: that something so obvious to me wasn't obvious to a majority of people. It was rather isolating and sobering. upon reflection, ya'll sharing your shock or grief or whatever helped a LOT. So thank you.

No pets currently, but here’s a pic of the nice maggie that spent the day in my backyard a while back

Pepperoni, spicy sausage cat

Not my cat but my adoptive niece...

And the beauty of the house.... complete with ginger stalker

GUYS I'M FREEEEE

Funny lil' guy I saw yesterday on my walk

This is me today.

I don't have a pet, can I post a picture of my sister instead? That's basically the same thing right?

I've done a thing and now I'm going to leave my phone alone and pretend I didn't do it.

I hate myself often.

My favourite child bought me flowers

And dessert

And a migraine right on schedule. Lucky I postponed the show tonight.

I'm giving myself permission to play ps5. So fuck you migraine.

Gratitude thread.

• Lovely sunshine
• Cat snuggles
• Compulsory voting and a generally sensible and independent electoral system here
• I get to catch up with some old friends at the weekend
• Summer fruit coming in to season. Blueberries for breakie, yum.

I just had that moment where a cat gets stuck with a plastic bag somehow wrapped around them, and they shamefully come to you for help.

Poor thing. But also, adorable lol

Goodnight all ❤️

Went out for dins last night with fam + SIL. Nice place AUGELLO'S in balwyn. Place was packed and the staff did an incredible job managing that. Good pizza!

But turns out bro and SIL are trump supporters which came as a shock to the rest of us.

Back in the day around the kitchen table we'd get into heated arguments about Labor/LNP. Old man is heavy rusted on LNP (as in he'd leave the room if people we shitting on their policy setting). He just sat there in disbelief.

But this didn't turn into an argument. Just the sound of eyebrows being raised.

Everyone is entitled to their views.. but yeah.. wow. They're well educated aswell.

I'm not really the type to get upset with views but their views on the rona and now this definitely makes it difficult to think any better of them.

I just did a ticket at the new job and this is it. This is the sort of work I've been missing for the last couple of years. I don't know if it's because I was working with clunky software or what, but I just didn't enjoy my last couple of roles.

This should have the same issues of finiky work that requires high attention to detail, but there's something about this where I can get into a workflow to just get the work done and check it as well.

I'm not diagnosed with anything but it's like this work tickles a part of my brain the way factorio or one of those games does for some people

Well, I left it right till the last minute and am only now having a shower and dinner (because otherwise I would've felt like curling up in bed...)

But I have cleared out 90% of unused/expired things in my pantry!! and consolidated 70% of what remains (the rest I'll still need to use for a while). There was an embarrassing amount of nuts (esp almonds) I had to throw out :(

I've also cleared out random boxes in my car from months ago from when the new car stereo was installed. Recycling bin pretty full after all this.

Pretty satisfied with today's effort! This weekend's big cull is the clothes. I think I'm making decent progress. I seriously need to book a mover ahead of time tho, any recommendations?

If Ya'll need a laugh regarding THE TOPIC

Good night everyone. 😘😘😘 Today can be DT Pet Appreciation Day

Got a call back from CAV today about my application to have the rent increase reviewed, seems like it's about a 30 day turnaround. Well since shit has changed so much I said it's no longer necessary and to close the case but they were very helpful about checking that I knew my rights around vacating with 14 day notice etc.

I sent my intention of notice to vacate to the LL yesterday morning, no response so far, and CAV themselves advised that while the LL doesn't have to respond, if they don't specify how to return possession (i.e., keys) then really all I need to do is tell them how I've done it and then it's the LL's problem as to whether the property is secure or otherwise 🤷

Missed the opportunity to ask how exactly I can report LL if she starts listing the property for rent within 6 months of the vacate notice, but I guess I'll find a way to call again if it comes up.
