Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
My property manager went to the house next door, thinking it was mine, did an inspection then sent me an email saying everything is fine.
I had to message her and insist that she hadn't come to my house....
How do these people have jobs?
In other news a recruiter messaged me today. We have a meeting tomorrow ๐ค๐พ
Ha ha ha... Was it even a rental?...
It was. From a private landlord ๐คฃ
Was holding the cat while my partner got ready for work, cat was all cuddles and kisses. I made a joke and said "you're going to work Mickey! We're gonna get you ready to go!" And Mickey full on freaked out, pushed off me and ran to the other side of the room away from the front door ๐
I was like "I'm joking oh my god!" While my partner was just cackling about how the cat knows English.
The cat is too clever but has no sense of human humour haha
Don't shirk the work Mickey. Peeps need to eat.
smh kits these days
Went to bed at 8pm last night cause i was wrecked. I had the electric blanket on low, kid was asleep and it was raining. Probably the most content I've felt in ages. Woke up today with nearly 12 hours sleep feeling a million bucks, just need my stomach to settle.
I wish I had your level of sleep. Woken up very early this morning by one of my smoke alarms making a low battery warning sound. I swear that anytime this happens with any of the alarms, it's always in the middle of the night. Then took ages to get back to sleep. Alarm was neighbour's dog barking, the next door house is doing some sort of the renovation work and as soon as the trades turn up in the morning, the dog starts going off. Just a terrible night of sleep really.
Will these clash with my Aldi hoodie?
Hm. The g string has a dog chain so you can keep your hands free. Interesting.
be sure to wear the g string on the outside of your yoga pants
"Throw groceries at me harder and faster, Daddy!"
Im thirsty for your flรถrb baby..๐๏ธ๐ซฆ๐๏ธ
I'm cooking curried sausages to celebrate this cold weather and the smell is making me so fucking hungry that dinner time is going to be early tonight.
Oh man I'm craving a nice hearty dinner tonight too now. Think I'll do a massaman curry with some potat and mock beef and a side of Asian greens.
Ooo yeah.
That sounds delicious. I could make a big pot and it would last a few days
I can quaff that stuff alarmingly fast... especially in this cold weather, really drumming up an appetite.
Sounds yum. Iโm going to do a hot bowl of noodles with soup considering how cold it is.
Been freezing all day at work due to a malfunction with the heating system.
What's with Ballarat and murders? Another one happened on Friday.
Don't forget the shitstains that threw a chain at a girl in a wheelchair in november https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-11-13/family-traumatised-by-racist-assault-in-ballarat/103090590
drugs are bad
I have turned on the ducted heating.
curry hot, I need no other heating
I turned on the split system for the cats.
I'm holding out out of stubbornness for now. The electric throw blanket is out though.
2nd day in a row going into the office and I'm in again tomorrow too. I'm giving a demo of what I've been working on to a bunch of state government department CIOs.
Maybe I should just go in every day this week for a laugh.
Took myself out for dinner in Chinatown as part of some self care. It was loud, they took a long time to bring out my food and the internet was barely functional. On a tram heading home now. I did also stop at Breadtop which is also self care don't judge me.
Migraine. Waiting for property manager to do inspection.
Urghhhhhhh it hurts
I didn't pay attention to what mouthwash I was buying and accidentally bought the alcohol one. Bloody hell I have no doubts it's killing all sorts of germs and bacteria in my mouth, because it feels like it's almost going to kill me
okay, a big bag of clothes for the opshop, and two pairs of shoes that I just can't wear when I have a bad back. Those boots are cute but just too high .
For anyone that is contemplating surgical treatment for spinal pain or knows any friends or family in the situation, last nights four corners is a must watch.
Fully agree. The digest on the abc justin news is a good foretaste. link
My Facebook feed keeps on showing my AI generated images of kitchens and houses. I end up spending way too much time trying to spot the errors. My favourites so far are electric lights hanging directly from glass roof panels, three faucets with no tap, and cupboards with hinges on both sides of the doors and the handle in the middle.
Even though we didn't get to see the NH eclipse we still deserve an early rave tune because our retinas are intact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VtwlyaYohs&list=RD5VtwlyaYohs&start_radio=1&rv=rALVOFwYZvg
I don't wanna breathe, the sun and moon between me and you โซ
It's a wondrous event and I hope our American cousins enjoy it and find some new connection to the natural world . ๐
also, I'm loving all these rave tunes
Unfortunaterly all my friends at Texas eclipse festival were evacuated before the eclipse as there was a severe weather warning and possible tornados

accidentally served breakfast in brisbane
Alright, took a punt on a half decent lunch. my first full size meal in 2 days. lets see how we go.
Anyone know where I can get a chauffeurs hat on short notice? I'm picking up my mother in law at the airport on the weekend and I heard she was a bit jealous that when my FIL went overseas the extended family sent a driver for him, sign and all so i thought I'd put on a show for her. (watching her either piss herself laughing or die of embarrassment is just icing on the cake).
If I'm awake I'll do it. If not, I can't help that. I answered in the wrong spot @Baku@aussie.zone.
When the clouds part the sun is warm, these are the days I'm not sure how to dress outside
ffs, it's raining again
birds are chirping, looks like rain has passed
Possum rave on my roof
Appointment in the morning, no chance at all I'll sleep so I'm just going to stay up. What's the worst that could happen?
Edit: Went kinda well ish.
