    Put a cat to sleep yesterday. Feel like I’m being a massive fuckoff inconvenience for booking in some annual for the next couple days, yet I know it’ll be worse if I go in.

    Not sure what the point of this comment was, but fuck it, sometimes you’ve gotta vent.

      It’s the hardest decision to make. Vent away, we understand. And take the days off too. Grief is not limited to losing human friends and family, these furry buggers are more family than my blood relatives.

      Take the time off without guilt, the loss and grief are not small things even if others might think it shouldn’t matter. It’s better to give yourself the time and space than to force yourself through. Condolences for your loss.

      Oh I’m so sorry - it’s just the hardest thing to do. We had to do that a while back and it was just awful. Kept expecting her to pop up around the house for ages afterwards.

    I start work Tuesday (for some unknown reason).

    Tomorrow it’s haircut/beard trim, meal prep, shopping and playing with fluffybutt because it’s going to be weird being away from the house for approx 11 hours a day.

    By 8pm tonight I was ready for bed. So I thing my sleep clock is back to normal.

    Goodnight all ❤️

      It’s good to start with a short week. So much new stuff to learn, and new faces, and where everything is. You’ll be wrecked by Friday anyway. And then week 2 will seem that bit easier as you start to know stuff.

    Today saw a person wearing an oodie in Kmart, and someone in pyjamas in the supermarket. I think we have all collectively decided fuckit, it’s too cold.

    So much for plans for the day. Boyo regretting decisions to drink much rocket fuel punch, then eat special brownies and pavement. Colourful words and contusions.

    Still out in the CBD. Crazy my MIL and I are so similar. I wish she was my mum, she’s put in the work to turn herself around, while having cptsd. A true inspiration to me.

    I love her so much. She’s just such an amazing person. I feel so blessed by the universe, after 28 years of shit, to have these people in my life.

    I have a tomato plant against a wall I was hoping would survive over winter and maybe give some early fruit next year. Not only is it surviving, it has actually produced a tomato! I don’t expect it to ripen in this weather, but it definitely bodes well for the early summer fruit plan.

      If the temperature indoors is reasonably constant and doesn’t get too cold plants can do alright in winter. I have a Ti Plant for instance that’s starting to flower.

    So we finally have a bedroom door. (previous apartment didn’t have one)

    Except we can’t close it.

    The balls of fur totalling 15kg would scream at the door to be let in, once let in, they would park themselves on my wife and I, one on her side, one on top in between us, one on my side - trapping us in place.

    That might be a level of clickbait way too far. In fact I’d say it’s just “lying”

    Eating at a sandwich place outside. This person is standing “away” from the eating area to have her cigarette, but the wind is blowing the smoke smell right where I’m eating. Gross.

    The sandwich was A+ though, so satisfied.

      So disrespectful 😑 I smoke (on and off, quitting is hard 😭) and tend to walk away if I want a smoke. As in, waaaay away. Around a corner, in an unoccupied alley. If I’m walking in a group, I’ll walk behind everyone so they’re not walking in my smoke (wind dependant). And it’s wild people don’t care about wind direction, it’s not hard to stay downwind of the public. If there’s no bins, I flick the butt out and put it in a small bag within my bag, I never litter them. Or slap a nicotine patch on and wait until you’re home/take some gum.

      Shameful behaviour, makes the rest of us addicts look real bad lol

      Ugh. I have this issue while waiting for public transport on the daily. Gives me the shits.
