What a day. My 14 yo doggo had unfortunately passed away this morning - thought it was strange he wasn't sitting out in the sun which he usually does every sunny day. Such a gentle dog he was since getting him as a 3 month old pup in 2009, will surely miss him

Checking in from Echuca. Having a beverage, splitting some wood etc..

Ugh, need to write an EOI for a job I don't really want but will provide me with some resume points I could really use.

One thing I don't love about Vegas is that my poor pink squishy lungs have become more sensitive to cigarette smoke over the years due to people not being able to smoke everywhere anymore, but in Vegas tobacco is caked into the place and people can smoke on casino floors.

I don't miss the morning headache which comes with being around that horrible shit. Cigarette smokers can get in the bin.

What a beautiful sunny day, Bill Cat is out on the terrace soaking up the rays an I'll go for a walk later. 🤗😊 I tried to get the cat tax but as soon as I come near Bill gets up for a cuddle.

Also, MIL an BIL are coming over for dinner, I've got all my mushroom clothes on. 🍄🤭

A bit of sunshine makes everything seem just a little bit better. Must be some kind of primal instinct. Warmer days to come.

The dumb lamp next to my hotel bed has power outlets but my phone charger is too tall for it.. but I finally found an actual use for something you'll find in just about every hotel room. Thanks, Gideons!

Then Brad said.. "Let there be phone charging" and there was phone charging. And Brad saw that the phone charging was good.

TIL some people in the UK keep little hedgehog houses in their gardens so hibernating hedgehogs have somewhere safe to sleep.

Have had the spinny thing twice this morning. @nath alerted.

When will the weeds stop growing so that I can just sit in my garden and enjoy the sunshine?

Urrrgh. Another broken night's sleep as Zooks came in at about 3 and started snuggling hard with bonus headbutts.
Got the idea about an hour or so of it to turn the heater on and got to sleep until about 8, when she decided it was time for her morning snuggle and 'feed me bitch' nip.
Remind me to leave the heater on low tonight if it's gonna be this cold again.

I saw the saddest thing ever at an opshop .One half of a best friends necklace 🥺

Yoooo driving the Western at night from out near the 'rat really hits different.

It feels like being in a space time warp with the winding bits, fast speeds and lack of identifying features for the most part due to it being pitch black.

Dinner was very ordinary, for someone's birthday. Good company, but very mediocre unimaginative pub fare, at the usual inflated prices ($28 for some reheated frozen crumbed calamari, bland chips and premade basic arse salad) Around 6pm a more sweary group of families started rocking up, rattails and all, I'm wondering why anyone would come here for dinner when it's so expensive... Then when I go up to pay I notice behind the counter/bar, a cave of pokies machines and some plastered punters just mindlessly pressing buttons and knobs. I don't care if it comes across as classist, fuck pokies subsidising mediocrity (among other things). I normally make it a point to avoid ever patronising a place with pokies, I didn't know that about this place but I'll definitely avoid it if it ever gets suggested again

If anyone is interested I made my Tassie western novella - The Gambler's Luck - free on kindle for the next day or so.

If you'd like to grab your copy and please feel free to rate/review. Trying to build up some (hopefully) good ratings.

Thanks :-)

I have visited the 24h dispensary and have night night gummies for sleepy time. We need to get Dan onto this.. friggin nerds keeping us from yummy ni nighs squishies.

Also when you legalise it, you get genius products like this:

In other news, finally feeling better from that flu. Got a haircut, wrote some lyrics for my EP and about to smash some guitar and video games. Life is good ❤️

EOI letter written and sent! It was mostly bland and vague, but I'm not super invested in the position anyway, it would only provide me with a mark that says I can manage a larger group than I already am.

Went for a walk and got my anti-baby meds, so I can get rawdogged without fear of also getting preggo (no offence to the parents here, but my uterus shall remain devoid and barren tyvm lol).

The sunshine is much needed, as is the blue skies and hearing a busker sing Wicked Game. Today is a damn fine day!

Edit: a downvote? Heheheheheh 😉

Check one two check..

Continuing with the ugh, my legs are sore. 13k walked yesterday. I aimed to get to ten but I pace around the flat a lot. Washing / some sorting of old papers and some hours on the bed/couch thing watching star trek with the cats and maybe a little walk to the beach, cos the weather is so perfect. It's sunscreen weather now folks. But I realise now I have probably thrown out my bb cream. Shit.

Anyone else having trouble with Reddit? Mine shows fewer and fewer posts and now none at all.

Hey Bot. Ya mate didn't show 😠

A cool bird came and yelled at my cat through the window but I was too slow to get a picture or a good look

Exercises have been completed. It's amazing how guilty I feel if I haven't done them, I feel like I'm not doing that good thing for myself that makes up for the years of self neglect.

Took the Minipeelers to Barkly Square today and wandered around that part of Brunswick, which I love. Went to Juanita Peaches/All Day Donuts (yum) and Schnitz (Minipeelers choice). The children were fascinated by the protest being held near Dangerfield to promote the "yes" vote (they haven't seen many protests) so we had a chat about that, and it was interesting to hear their views.

We went to Kmart and the Elder Minipeeler cringed at the designs on the boys clothes ("sk8r vibes 🤙" and such) while the Miniest Peeler cringed at the designs on the girls clothes ("summer love" and "bestie 🩷" for example). She said the girls clothing section looked like unicorn poop 😂 We did grab some stuff like a basketball to muck around at the park.

It was just such a lovely day for wandering around, and I really enjoyed it!

Man Tom Waits had a beautiful voice when he was younger. Not that his later voice is bad, just the opposite you know. Early = soft crooner, later = gravelly piano bar singer at closing time.

Thank you.

I think my skin is too thin
I worry I don't fit in
Despite not being entirely sure what that means
I know I'm more than I seem, I dream
I scream, I'm not sure who I am
But I like the way I look
In the mirror, still I'm shook
Connections are difficult
Constant fear of ridicule
Which never manifests
I'm the best, this is a test
They're my friends too, they like me
They're open with their admiration of me
But still, I worry I'm not good enough
To be around people I love and trust
I must be more than the sum of my past.

Another jigsaw puzzle completed 🤗😊👍

and now to pack that away and set up my mask making production line, this new covid variant has me worried

UGH

PLANS

UGH UGH 🤮

Edit: spontaneous plans are so attractive, yet I am cockblocked by premade plans blah!

Edit edit: should I save nsfw posts till after 10pm? So I dont offend the downvoter? Or is posting about my horniness off limits entirely?

(I must say this is half a shitpost, real answers welcome but not required lol)

Mmm, I may as well start early… S02 Alone started!

I can see comment replies again. Yay!

Went for a bike ride today....bit of an uphill challenge at certain points. Got home and my legs are absolutely cooked.

Finished the ride at about 4 pm and the legs have gotten worse and more on fire

If someone asked, is the industry you work in one that you'd recommend they could start their career in?

Honest movie appraisal:

The Last Voyage of the Demeter: Nice vibe

The Boogeyman: I'd argue very good classic jump scare

Meg 2: the trench: wtf did I just watch. Very bad but bad enough to be good very confusing. No jump scare.

Melbcat is suffering the after effects of too much red meat. 😔 Feeding her pumpkin puree and osmolax with plenty of extra fluid, perhaps we try to get in with the vet on Monday if things don’t resolve.

I found the missing jigsaw puzzle pieces!! They were in my oodie pocket, they must have fallen in there last night. Puzzle is already broken up and packed away. 🥺🙄🥴

Mahooo! Mahooo! The contents of the greenie bag hath been secreted about the lounge. Mahoo! The hunt begins! Mahooo!

Got distracted playing Dreams. It's way past my bed time, damn it

My heart swells at the thought of your touch
Pumping hard causing a headrush
My words turn to mush
I jumble all of my lines
I don't care I'm fine
I just want to feel your lips on mine.

damn got suggested to check this place out and after checking a bunch of the daily threads y'all just constant state of bad cooking and depression might as well be facebook over here 😭
