My real life birthday.
Will be a quiet day as everyone is away and also my car rego has expired but hope to renew it later this week so I can go out.
Happy birthday!!! I hope you can treat yourself to some game time at home at least. And the weather today has been gorgeous.
I am home. Tropical sun was amazing. Family was ...good. I had fun. But I am tired and in dire need of introvert time. Bed at 8 tonight I think. Back to work tomorrow though.
That's a pretty fast turnaround for going back to work! I used to do things like fly in on Monday morning after a holiday but need an increasing amount of time between flights and work these days. Hope you can fully recharge tonight and the rest of the week is chill. Really gonna need to tap on that stored sunlight with the weather forecast for this week.
Meeting went really well thankfully. All is sorted now.
Thank fuck.
"what are you up to after work man?"
"Sorry bro got plans aye".
They've sorted themselves by colour.
They're so plump! Well fed kitties.
Happy World Chocolate Day ๐ซ
I shall treat myself to a piece of chocolate after visiting the GP today
Or perhaps also beforeโฆ
And here I am getting off sugar.
Dang it
Sounds like a good excuse to have chocolate for breakfast, thank you!
I could go a choc chip muffin right now.
I'm up!
On my way to Hobbiton, I need a big first brekkie
luv u all, will check in tomoz
have a great day ๐๐๐
Just remembered Peter Dutton will never been Prime Minister and it really warmed my heart
That's always a good fact to remind ourselves of during these dark times, I appreciate the positive energy
Now that Erin Patterson has been found guilty I'm interested to hear everything that's going to come out that couldn't be shared publicly while the trail was ongoing.
I'm also glad I can stop visiting news sites for updates now because holy shit it's depressing.
Channel 7โs got the chopper out in Morwell to show us Erin being driven in a prison van from the court. Riverting journalism right here.
Not over yet. Stilll sentencing and possible appeal process!
Very true!
So we decided to turn over a new leaf at work. Turns out my old manager is under extreme stress for me to succeed in my role. From the way he was saying it, it sounded like there was some hectic shit going on in the background.
He apologised to the 2 dudes he shoved and he's gone back to being normal.
So that's a win.
We worked twice as hard (literally) at last week's eofy event than the same time last year, however there is a backlog of work because we're understaffed and the expectation from the old timers is that we work 12 hour days every day to get it done.
That's not how things work these days. It's not the late 90s.
And the world isnt going to end.
Would have been nice for someone to say "good work leading the team dude".
I get why people buy lottery tickets.
I have a kitchen table again. The seventeen house plants my parents left me to babysit have returned to them
Is the only place to buy those posh lighters only at smokos or the internet?
Was thinking of getting one as a gift, but since I don't smoke, no idea where the proper place to get one is.
Smoke/vape shops will have quite a selection, places like the Reject shop will have some at the cheaper end of the market. Pay attention to how the item is refueled - you want the kind where you can get the injector refills from Bunnings in the bbq section. Cos those lighters are only good if filled with fuel. And the cheap ones tend to leak which can be a problem and a fire hazard.
I was thinking of doing noodles for an easy dinner tonight, but I think my noodles are still in a box somewhere. I'm not sure I have enough enthusiasm for anything else. Maybe cheese and crackers, I'm pretty sure I can find all the ingredients for that.
City sleepover for work. We're doing a workshop on our project management software so I don't know how much work will actually be done. I just hope the dinner is good
Of all my luck theyโre going to do maintenance on the power grid again and Iโll be without power again for Sunday.
Why do they keep doing this doing my holidays!
I better set the timer for the heater so itโs at least somewhat warm when I wake up and need to figure out food if the maintenance doesnโt end early.
Cat tmi, poo talk
Melbcat has been to the vet because she started crying againโฆ it may be that the accidents were from overcompensating with the osmolax, and now itโs been drastically reduced sheโs crying again possibly due to the constipation returning.
There will be a small regular dose (say 1/8tsp) that will slowly increase until a balance is found.
I feel a bit silly but relieved that that could have been it. Itโs ok. Iโm her mum and itโs my job to worry.
Boogitty, boogitty!
