Got fresh bread but forgot the milk lol.

I'm sure Force's nipples are ready to produce all the warm milk you need.

I hate that. I hate it even more when it's written in my handwriting on my shopping list.

This spinach is going gangbusters. Last night the shoots were stretching upright and splitting to form tiny leaves, today they’re even straighter and further along. A few carrots are germinating.

The first cat grass pot is sprouted and stretching taller, getting second blades, but the second doesn’t look like it’s sprouted yet.

Melbcat is going well, but not eating her biscuits or pooping as much as I’d like so she’s getting plenty of pumpkin baby food and extra wet food with fluids.

Ps. It’s her birthday soon so I’m thinking of what to get. I already do get her little things whenever and she already gets unlimited treats so probably a new collar. She’s not really into catnip or I’d buy that.

There’s a laser toy collar called kitidot, it’s a shame she doesn’t really react to laser pointers. It would have encouraged her to play especially now she’s completely an inside cat.

Household tip #72

A while ago I bought this

spoiler

And when I used it all up I put a few squirts of dishwashing liquid in it and filled it with water. I use it when I have a cup or two to wash.

Then I discovered overseas they have Dawn Powerwash. Then I discovered the recipe to Dawn Powerwash. Our equivalent is Fairy. You now have a very powerful cleaning agent. Tbh I don't measure anything.

You're welcome.

Annnnd serious q…

I am the worst offender of needing to purchase a bag every time I do groceries or shop is whatever and now I have so many?

What does everyone do with said bags in this situation?

The room spins a bit when I close my eyes but close my eyes I must. Rewatched Bo Burnham's Make Happy special on Netflix earlier, that kid (relative in age to me) is very clever and I recommend giving him a chance. Each of his specials are great.

Overall a great evening. Didn't make a dick of myself to someone I care about, I'm pretty sure, and Storm won so let's call this a rare win for alcohol.

Hmm I’m about to go outside for a little session. I noticed a bit of wind this morning. Might have to cut it short.

Absolutely nailed dinner (the cooking at least, I don't go for fine restaruant "plating"). Turkey meatloaf, with roasted fennel & brussels sprouts, glazed carrots, mashed potato & gravy. Everything was cooked perfectly. The fennel and carrot were also grown in my own garden. Five more serves of meatloaf to go in the freezer for future dinners & lunches.

So, centrelink still hasn't looked at/approved my partner's jobseeker claim/payment. Been over a month, and cannot make a complaint until after 13 weeks (💀).

Means we'll be late on rent for the first time ever, until I get a few pays from work.

I have no idea what to write to the Real Estate Agency about this tbh... if anyone has any ideas for what to say/write, I would be eternally grateful.

I feel so bad ugh

I've been in your situation a few times. I was just honest and explained the situation, which was I had lost my job was about to start a new one. I gave them a set date for when rent would be paid and offered to do part payments before that date if i was able to and was very apologetic about it. If this is your first time ever I doubt it will be a big issue for the RE because you have a demonstrated good history. My RE was really understanding said it was fine and didn't make a big deal out of it. I did get reminder sms's to say I was x number of days in arrears but this was due to the system being automated. So the RE may do this as well but I wouldn't worry if they do.

Been having a hell of an existential ride this year, but the simple things… overpriced coffee walking home with clear as blue sky and maybe just a bit more wind than I’d like, but… for a moment it just all melts always and you’re just in the moment.

Wish I could bottle it, but then I’d be an addict.

Serious q next…

OMG John Wick 4 is terrible I’m not even going to finish this torturous movie lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This news does not bring me happiness. I've just finished the second one again, and I remember really liking the third, but don't know whether it'll hold up as well as the first film has.

I can't understand why he made that choice at the end of the second film. It makes zero sense.

The premise was great. The world building was great. The currency makes zero sense. The violence is so silly that it's fun.

I am building toward watching the fourth for the first time.

Edge Of Tomorrow is a perfect movie to watch in between canned fish educationals
