Melbourne

I went to the dentist for the first time in about 5 years tonight. I need three replacement crowns and a root canal. I shall have negative monies.

It's bin night tonight and there is a lot of disagreement in the street about which bin is due for collection. A lot of people will be disappointed tomorrow when their recycling is not collected.

I've been reading through the instructions for the Ikea drawers I'm getting on Saturday, and it is mostly pretty clear except one bit I'm not 100% sure on. I think it means that trying to have sex with the drawer unit on a hard floor will break it, so I should put it on a soft surface and stroke it gently instead.

Boss just told me I'm getting a sidekick to train. A fresh, young, uncorrupted-by-life law student. I smell the subtle scent of nepotism, as the kid is the nephew twice removed of his dad's first wife. Time will tell how this goes.

Hellllooooooooo?

Going for a walk in the evenings in summer is very pleasant. Much easier to find the motivation when it’s daylight savings and nice weather.

I had another incredibly vivid dream, but no dystopian elements this time, thank $deity. Because I just spent an hour typing it out here it is.

Anyway, I think I should give my cousin in Sydney a call to catch up. 8/10 dream. Better get on with the day now...

The only thing more annoying than posts from new members of public Facebook groups to say "thanks for accepting me" are posts saying "thanks for excepting me".

Spoke to my mum because it's her b day today and her leg is healing nicely due to a little skin treatment on there. My brother had his gallbladder out just before Christmas and then was readmitted because he was turning a shade of yellow that no one could figure out why. Anyway he's doing better so she's happy. It's good to hear better news because there was a time where I was dreading calling her.

Two and a half weeks of panadol and I think I am habituated. 🤬 And it's just fucking panadol, nothing worth this mild groggy headache.

On a positive note sciatica is slowly getting better, with lots of rest I am comfortable.

Started using bonito flakes or dropping treats into the bowl to entice Melbcat to eat her medicated meals...

She will now walk away from served food and start slamming the wardrobe door or waiting in the kitchen for 'food' if it doesn't have enough tasty toppings on it. I also have to add the treats in front of her, sometimes an extra one just to convince her they're in there. I'm being hustled. She is utterly spoilt.

I'm feeling pretty rotten, kind of just lying down watching videos.

Somebody is going back to the vet on Saturday, wondering if I've got the energy to wash and prepare the trays to get a sample.

slaps knees

okay. enough decadence.

today's goal: give the house a basic cleaning, reply last week's email, take a walk and buy a little food
optional: fill out a form / look up a set of instructions / update my CV

Apparently ‘Mr Catfish’ (bloody hell that sounds odd!) wants to join Lemmy. Now where am I supposed to put neurotic overthinking gift posts about the anniversary he’s about to forget?

I’ve no idea what that dream was trying to be about but all the Drag Queens were rather fierce.

Just waited 15 mins for a bus that never came. Lucky I have a tram line I can take instead.

My head, my jaw,
My eyes are sore.
Teeth like stones,
Grind like bones
Into dust.

Going to see Argyle in an hour. I think this should be a fun one.

camping over the weekend. Excited!

the fountain on chesterville appears to be getting worse. Floodwaters now consuming entire footpath and look to be undermining wall. Note present from owners rather beleagueredly pleads that people not try and be helpful and shut off their mains, it won't stop the leak, they told south east water three weeks ago, they know, they know, please stop asking.
