Just me, or is the mobile network in the city kaput? Best I've been able to get is H+. Am on Telstra network

Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
After struggling to locate eye(lid)primers I found Nude by Nature, Milani and Barry M at Priceline in Bourke Street.
As UD is usually my holy grail, this is going to be interesting.
Of the drug store lines Milani have excellent products as they have a high percentage of pigment and good coverage. ๐
I think I pulled a muscle or something while I was under the house yesterday. My sides are super sore

General and cat rambles
Ah Melbcat has licked a hotspot. Itโs fair enough. Things have been intense with meds around the clock, wiping her clean, and interrupting/delaying cuddles to do a dose or chores. (She still gets cuddles every night.) Iโll keep an eye on it and see if I need to shield the area. Sheโs probably finishing her antibiotics soon.
Pakige.
I shouldnโt have spent money on something frivolous, especially overpriced fast fashion microplastic fabric. And when I could theoretically have sewn one myself. But Iโve been feeling absolutely terrible lately and wanted a squishmallow so I bought one. I donโt have the energy for patterns and sewing these days.
I also got some sneakers. Theyโre not amazing for padding, kind of hard, but thatโs because cheap. The pseudo slip-on deal is weird but works for me. Miraculously they kind of fit - a little loose but long enough. The wonky shoe proportions worked in my favour for once. Theyโre white so thatโs risky but for now they look clean and presentable.
The 2 pack of wireless bras is probably going to the op shop with tags still on. The band is way too tight and even with a band expander just digs in uncomfortably. Itโs very hard to find something that isnโt awful even when buying brand names and thereโs no time to go to the factory outlet, so Iโve given up and have just been playing clearance roulette.
How nice, Mr. Jingoism from last week is back again today, and is talking to our supervisor on the phone going on about how he has the chills and doesn't feel really good and probably picked up something from the childcare (and this person has stacks of leave entitlements), thanks for making the rest of us sick too mate...
Jobs that have a lower cognitive demand than uni but higher cognitive demand than retail?
I fear I need direct instructions but not to the point of monotony.
Admin jobs. Requires the chutzpah to insist on people following procedures. Most admin jobs are about corralling information so you can find it again. Plus some phone skills. And you learn real quick how to drive printers and photocopiers etc. And the intricacies of the bowels of Australia Post and courier companies. This could actually be a turn off. But the skills come in handy almost anywhere.
Most grad jobs really. And there's no homework. That actually makes a huge difference, or it did to me. It's not hanging over you the whole time.
