Can I ask for best wishes/luck for Miss Seagoon
she has a 2nd interview for a make up artist job tomorrow , it's a part time rep job for a make up company, not a store
( and I'm hoping may lead to other jobs )
it's a very tough industry but she's lucky in that she has real qualifications , seems that even tho we have a big movie industry there is no way to get make up quals here, so her overseas diploma and experience is ๐
also, she's only been here back in oz for 10 weeks and she's already auditioning for parts in stage musicals
can I say she's awesome ๐๐ฅน
Good luck Miss Seagoon! Go get em! ๐ค ๐
Had to go to the gym today otherwise my shoulder would give me migraines.
Taking it super easy.
Pray for mojo.

today I am wearing my little antique Irish brooch, only one day a year
it's carved from fossil oak/bog oak
That's cool!!
Miss Meow's blood test results have come back with nothing too alarming, just a slightly raised kidney enzyme to be monitored. She also has been vomiting less, so I'm hoping the new food fixes that issue. She's not completely changed over and is still having a bit of her canned food, so fingers crossed that's all it takes to resolve the issue.

sending good vibes for Miss Meow ๐
Moist as fuck
sounds nice ๐ธ
I had an early package today, with my new little whiteboard and associated supplies. So today's plan involves playing around with whiteboard marker tape to set up my exercise and meal planning boards.
Had an interview at Dentist Supplies this morning for some more side work. The two guys in the office looked identical, well kept skinny guys. Makes me wonder if this is one of those Brethren businesses since they like to run their own businesses but like safe, boring industries
So I have a thing called auditory pareidolia, basically when there's white noise / runnng water / fan etc. the brain is tricked into hearing patterns and filling in the blanks. In my case it's music. Really soft muffled music usually things with distorted guitar / vocals (not the words though, just pitch) and drums. Can sometimes pick out the choon but it's all very indistict and sounds like it's coming from 2 rooms over. Choons I can recognise are all from childhood (so no rave choons heh).
Place next door haven't done their downpipes yet so it sounds like a bit of a waterfall with rain like that and last night it went into overdrive. Usually happens when you're relaxed and not doing much.
Apparently it's quite common.
When I was younger thought I was trippin.
Anyway last night swore I heard beegees stayin' alive which was new.
I had no idea that had a name. My noisy box air conditioner in the bedroom used to make that happen. Slightly indistinct original music to make a change from the normal internal soundtrack (which is currently running a Hinder marathon).

Irish stew and a pint of Guinness please
A beg o potatoes tanks loov
๐ฅ๐
Tanks
A pint of Guinness and a Dublin Spicebag please chef. Yes, I know, they copied the HSP from us but made it their own and it's nice. And contains no cheese which I think is an improvement on poutine, and telling the truth here, the HSP.

Thanks chef!
Slept in a bit.
The strays made their displeasure known about being stuck in the drizzle.
Oh that's just a picture of me lol

Up most of the night with upset tummy - I think it was the dodgy sammo from colesworth I had for yesterday's lunch. Today will require fortitude.
On the brighter side, I counted no less than 3 different sets of people visiting the bins out for collection to harvest cans/bottles, and leave other stuff in their place. I was impressed with how quiet they were. And the new 4 bedroom house they've been building next door that was recently put up for sale already has a brushtail possum living in the roof.
Hope you're feeling better :)
Smoke alarm just went off and woke me up. Shit those things are loud. Ears are still ringing. Looked around, nothing. It did this a few months ago too, middle of the night. After I pressed the cancel button it did a couple of chirps. Itโs not that old and the battery should be fine. Looked up the brand and thereโs a bunch of 1 star reviews all complaining this alarm goes off randomly, often overnight. Have taken it off the ceiling. Itโs going in the bin and Iโll be off to Bunnings this week for a new one. Not happy.
I heard smoke alarms only randomly go off at night because the cold makes everything contract and lowers the output of the battery if it's already low. The alarm then thinks the battery is dying and goes off.
Same reason posters and suction cup soap holders in the shower only ever fall off at night time
My alarms do this from time to time (like once or twice a year) and I have no idea why. Maybe theyโre programmed to test once in a while? Extremely loud as well. Iโve learned to go straight for my noise cancelling headphones. Then turn off. Scares the crap out of me if they go off while Iโm sleeping.
Ooh yeah mine hallucinated a few years ago. Scared the shit outta me.
i am still up
i'll have an early brekkie
