Helping bro and SIL move confirmed they are entitled brats.
Anyway Bboi Butters stepped up to the plate and attacked his cactus.
He is so pretty. 😻
He’s a lovely cat
Bboi butters deserves better humans!
The nest has been refreshed. I’m so fucking glad she just likes to sit in it and sleep. Things could be a lot worse.
She has a great resting bitch face!
I often feel judged lol
Judging you from her toilet paper nest! Perfect! 😻
Cats are loving my downfall
They love the warmth your fever is generating
Taling the piss a bit tho
Market run complete.
My life is now improved by

- milk
- dry pasta
- apples (Granny Smith)
- mandarins (imperial)
- capsicum (red)
- onions
- sweet potatoes
- carrots
- spinach
- tinned tomatoes
- fresh tomatoes
- zucchini
- cucumber
- eggplant
- mushrooms
- garlic
- beef mince
- can of stout to cook some of the mince with, because I feel retro and savoury mince would be the bomb
- Chook food, in a bag several hundred times his weight
- Chook toy
- bunch of bluebells
- jam donuts x 500000000 for you lot
and a new and exciting flavour of gozleme
Thank you very kindly. The doughnuts are delicious.
I recommend trying Jazz apples if you haven’t. I’m addicted to them currently.
I’m usually a green apple person, but these things are amazing.
I am yet to have a good mandarin this year, I hope yours are sweet and juicy.
Crap year for citrus. I stopped trying. Maybe next year.
Made catnip tea for my Overlord, and I think he is quite pleased with the results.
Omg this is amazing. How did you do it?!
I have a glass teapot with an infuser thing I bought from T2 years ago. I just boiled some water, put two teaspoons of catnip into the infuser and into the teapot with the hot water. I let it steep for 2 minutes. I then poured it into the bowel shown and added cold water so it wasn’t super hot.
I like doing it, because he really likes playing with water when it isn’t running water haha
Edit: the accidental enrichment was when I was teasing him with his kicktoy and accidentally dunked it lol, he then proceeded to kick the shit out of it haha
Hooooolllllyyyyy shiiiiit. That is fucking adorable lol
I am going to be a mood today I apologise in advance.
You good?
Yea we good. Just roped in to help bro and SIL move. I don’t like them but they have a nice cat. Just being dramatic :)
hugs if that helps
Choon!
but I’ll raise your weapon
Damn that’s a great track! The first comment on the video is gold lol.
What do you think of Netsky? Been listening to his album “3”. Very poppy but nice vibe. So many good vocalists.
ooh big fan of Netsky. On the commercial side but for the scene not a bad thing. Over the years there’s been a bit of gatekeeping in the genre. People saying some producers selling out but I think if it pushes people down the DnB 170+ bpm rabbit hole it is a good thing :)
First trip to Aldi. It’s like being in an uncanny valley supermarket.
I ended up walking up and down the aisles for a while.
Was really cheap for the stuff I need. So score!
Now it’s time for my monthly uber eats. I think a hsp would go down a treat.
I think part of it is they don’t play any music. It makes sense as they don’t need to pay royalties then. And their checkout people get to sit in chairs so they don’t need to take breaks.
Once you realise everything about Aldi is doing things as cheaply as possible it all starts to make sense
Not having music was kind of nice tbh.
If you’re a coffee person, ALDI beans are the best value for money out there.
I have to stay away from the European biscuits section.
@Seagoon_ @Gibsonhasafluffybutt 🎶 revolutionary biscuits of Italyyyyyy… rise up out of your box! 🎶
all the French biscuits; the frangipanes, the coconut macaroons, the chocolate ones
Will give em a go!
Love aldi so much, so affordable and delicious
Work up way too early and couldn’t get back to sleep so put on my big girl pants and went out to do the errands.
Aldi run done, cat litter and replacement gas cylinder for the soda King bought, replacement water jug filters and one of the Kmart Stanley mugs bought since I damaged the other one. Also filled up the car at the cheap petrol place on Kingston road.
Now back home and snuggled up with Sammi. Hoping to get a nap in but one of the neighbors has just started hammering so…I have yet to buy something at Aldi. Fuck it, there’s one near me. Maybe I need a tent with my groceries.
Signing to No Sleep Club again.
As soon as I don’t have responsibilities, I apparently go overdrive on the sleep revenge. Must try to pull and all night and day, and hopefully crash at a reasonable time tomorrow - or take light naps.
Been avoiding sleep, but I shouldn’t. It isn’t healthy and I know it ugh
Ugh I feel this in my little sleep deprived soul
I do this thing where if I follow a routine for too long, I eventually start to subconsciously sabotage it. And with sleep, I feel pretty much forced to not sleep at a reasonable hour the moment I have a free day.
But at the same time, mental health be going 📉📉📉 if I don’t have enough consistency and don’t see enough sunlight, and honestly, if I wake up any later than 10
I don’t know what’s wrong with me, or how to fix myself, so it would be hypocritical to tell you how to not do the same thing I’m currently doing (and won’t take my own advice for), but in my experience, all night+dayers rarely work out. I’ve pulled them off a few times, but I really need to be doing something semi (but not very) active all day to make it work. I usually end up doing it every time I catch the night bus to Mildura, since I can’t sleep on public transport, but also don’t have anything to do while I’m there except turn around and come back. On that return trip, I usually end up slipping in and out of consciousness. I believe the assorted medical nerds would call it a “microsleep”.
Also, it’ll completely fuck your entire weekend. If you try to sleep now, or even within the next few hours (sometimes for me the stress of needing to be asleep an hour ago to get a solid 8 hours is what ends up stopping me from sleeping until 4 or 5 in the morning), you’ll probably wake up between 10am-12pm. After you do your morning routines and get yourself together, that probably leaves you with a few hours of daylight left to go sit outside for a few hours
I’ve found my dodgy grey market possibly illegally imported melatonin helpful. I start off with 1mg and take more as it gets later if I still can’t sleep. Usually I’m so tired by then, that as soon as I put my phone down and turn the light off, I can sleep reasonably quickly (20 minutes or so, but I follow exactly 0 healthy sleep principles). It’s just making myself part with the day and stop doing anxiety that’s the issue.
Without medication, I find it very difficult to fix a bad sleep schedule by trying to sleep earlier. I’ve tried it before, with all the bells and whistles. No caffeine within 12 hours of bedtime, at least half an hour of moderate-intense activity and a couple of hours of lighter activity, no screens within an hour or two of bed, etc, and none of it ever worked. But you can try spiking your sleep tonight. Assuming you work/otherwise have to be up early on Monday, it could be worth only getting 4/5 hours of sleep tonight, waking up early tomorrow, powering through the day, and sleeping as early as you can manage tomorrow night. It’ll fuck up your Saturday, and probably put a damper on your sunday, but if you can do it, that does mean your Monday will be at least slightly more energised!
Also, if you can afford it, psychologist or therapist to try and explore why you struggle with sleeping, with either a referral back to your GP for sleeping medication, or a referral to a psychologist for anti anxiety medication, or other similar medications. Or just chatting it through can help too. This is what I’m currently trying to do
Bruh, I know why I can’t sleep, I don’t need a psych to tell me I have CPTSD again and it’s night terrors I’m avoiding. I got CBD oil so ima take that, and put a YT vid on lol
Sleep revenge and night terrors make spud a tired potat
Fair enough. I’m sorry. I think that was mostly just projection, which wasn’t fair
I hope that the CBD oil helped at least a bit and you were able to sleep
Big day today!
Have some errands to run and hopefully have these songs learnt for Monday rehearsal.
Getting exciting now! I miss playing on stage. It’s such a great vibe.
If you get stuck, do what Robert Trujillo did auditioning for Metallica and focus on learning the hardest song and getting that down first
That’s actually not a bad idea. It’s been a while since I’ve learned someone else’s music.
I have like, four loads of washing to fold. I don’t want to
I feel your pain. Not a nice day today and I only had one load of washing to fold today.
Good night everyone.
may all of you who have been feeling a bit unwell feel better on the morrow 😘
Paycheck!!!
Time for a mega food shop.
Crash napped and woke in the night.
Yesterday was the specialist, Melbcat seems to have kicked the uti! Unfortunately there’s not much to be done to prevent them happening. She also will be getting B12 shots. The specialist is happy with how she’s being cared for and has given the green light for many treats.
I’m finding the Dove beauty bar a bit drying so I might relax a bit on the frugality/minimalism and get a basic creamy cleanser. It’s enough to know I can go bare minimum if I ever need to
I know it’s a waste of time to argue on the internet, but sometimes it’s the only thing keeping my brain sharp, you know?
If I gently point out someone may need to rethink their position, and they decide I was actually just personally attacking them and they come for me, I literally crack my knuckles and go in. Nuclear.
What else am I supposed to do on a cold Saturday afternoon?
Indeed. Sometimes challenging idiots can help elucidate our views and sharpen our arguments.
But sometimes idiots are not so idiotic. They might be there to drive the narrative and distract us from posting a more scientific or humanistic viewpoint. iow, they might be shills.
You’re doing good work. Keep on keeping on.
