Kitty's in da house🙌🏻🙌🏻

My man bought me a present ❤️

It's all a part of my indulgence week.

Our work slack communications become increasingly meme-driven on a Friday. It's a little reminder that my little work team is nice and I am very lucky.

And we haven't done a good things thread for a while - anyone else got one to help with the grey day?

I’ve had my flu shot. Covid shot is next on the agenda

Someone's going to have a fun night

1 hour to go.

I’m really sad to hear Magda Szubanskis cancer diagnosis. I have had very many belly laughs from her comedy talents over the years. And she seems like a genuinely great person. I hope she can make it through.

Happy International Scone Day

I'm freeeeeeeee. But I have a normal people headache. Time for some food and a nap. Should be good for the date tonight otherwise I'll reschedule.

I am exhausted.

But at least dinner is good. Thanks Hello Fresh.

Here's hoping for a quick and smooth day.

Lol. He ate half of it without a bead of sweat. He's a disappointed man.

On my 2nd coffee now and have been gifted a meat pie for breaky at work.

Yay!

Birthday gifts to myself

spoiler

Does anyone know if this is any good? Is it actually hot and is it any better than the shit on the shelf?

I think the ball kicking for doggo has caught up with me. Funnily enough it's the upper back / neck that's feeling it.

But I will find appropriate drugs.

The ball kicking must and will continue.

Edit: Ran into the vets' sister walking past clinic yesterday. She thought hambam was 12yrs old because how slowly he was walking after the park sesh. He's like 3 or 4yrs old. Bit of an indictment on his fitness lol.

Goodnight all ❤️ She's high on catnip so this is a rerun lol

I went to fill up before the petrol prices all jumped 60c, apparently everyone else was doing the same. The queue was out onto the road.

I also grabbed a few essential groceries while I was out - milk, coffee, cat food and cheese.

Edit: just looking at the receipt it appears I also bought "salted butt". My hot cross buns slathered with butt tasted pretty good 🤣

Our Anniversary is towards the end of June and I've pretty much got the evening all planned. How long do you think I should wait before telling my girlfriend we have plans?

I wouldn't tell her what it is just get, but maybe just to be like 'keep your calendar clear on the 21st, I've got it all sorted.'

Against common sense I’m doing some work at home so I have the day free on my working from home day.

Sadly I'm too wrecked from work and the headache I've been nursing all day to be much fun on a date. have rescheduled to next week without issue.

Time for a nice long Epsom salts bath.

Happy Nightreign day to those who celebrate. I know what I'm doing this evening

New cushions for noise cancelling earphones make everything snuggly and quiet 🎧

Yay Friday!

BOO Having to work today :(

quiz

1/10 wtf!

Boooooooored.

Going home at lunch to finish my day.

Might have found a store with staff more useless than Bunnings. SuperCheap Auto.

Need new headlight globes. Take them out, bring them in, ask the people there for some help. Bloke grabs a couple of the shelf and rings them up. I walk to my car, look at the box and the fitting looks wrong. Sure enough, it's the wrong type. I go back in and ask to exchange and he's trying to tell me they're the right ones.

I take one out of the box put it against one of my old ones, similar, but definitely not the same. He mumbles something like "I should have been more specific"

Mate, how much more fucking specific do you want?

He tries to help me again, and I kind of shoo him away, grab the right globes, swap them and job done.

I feel it's my fault for not grabbing them myself to begin with instead of asking for help.

Good Food & Wine Show is always a blast.

Gonna post some cool shit at aunt's place.

10ft high fig in the shower and another in the living

Cheers and let the party begin 🍺

Not really into cars but pretty sure that's from the 50's.

everyday there is less chaos here, it's taking a while to organise the new house but when it's done it will be so easy to keep clean and tidy

I’ve got slack on masking after keeping it up for so long. Wondering if it would be weird to start wearing one again during flu season.

Of course it’s not weird to not want to get sick but you know, it’s not the norm to wear face masks in Australia like it is in Asia. And it’s rare to see them now. People would probably stare, assume you were sick, or it might provoke the cooker type.

Then again I really don’t think I’d fare well with the flu.

What's the point of silicone free shampoo, when its conditioner has silicone as the second ingredient? 🤦‍♀️

The Hello Fresh meal kits arrive today, which will take me through the move and the first days in the new house. Breakfasts and half the lunches are already sorted too, I just need to add in some random sandwiches.

Today I will try to finish all the packing inside & get the shed packed up. Working tomorrow for a rest, then Sunday will be packing up all the last minute stuff. I'm feeling a lot better about my packing progress after taking a van load to the new house yesterday, I was able to take a bunch of hard to pack stuff up in bags and I have a bit more space in the second bedroom to actually move and finish the packing in there.

Mr Woof and Miss Meow are both being given a food additive that is supposed to be calming (some sort of milk protein, a lady at work swears by it) and Miss Meow has Feliway spray, diffuser and Gabapentin for the moving day. They may end up calmer about the whole thing than me!

My sister has been given a secondment to another team. She's had to change her email signature, so it's got her new role, its subteam, then team, then wider department. A whole lot of words to say what she's doing.

If you're feeling chilly today - consider this heat wave in Iceland
