I'm doing a favour for someone that involves me spending the night in the Yarra Valley tonight. I have a gorgeous fire going, and I'm kicking back with some yummy cheese. And I'm being genuinely helpful. Love it.

Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Ikea sent my stuff in a big box. With a cut out door and window and roof peep hole it will make an excellent cat play house for Bill and Ted. πΈπΈ
A bit of light home defense jiu-jitsu wasn't on my bingo card. Some persistent drunk dude convinced it was his house. Tried to barge in past me when I opened the gate he'd been rattling. Interested to see how the hernia surgery feels tomorrow, been two months now.
Had to clip Mickey's claws a bit - he kept getting them stuck and then not being able to release it and yowling in pain. So I had my partner cuddle him with his oodie, and I used some small curved scissors and just very slightly clipped the very tips of his claws, just to remove the curve.
He did so well, no struggling or freaking out. He wasn't happy, but he wasn't afraid. He such a great cat!
I'll have to grab him a new scratchy thing and keep an eye on his claws.
Awww what a good boi <3
Truly the chillest cat I've had, even when he's ratchet.
is it me or is it freezin'?
I've got the blanket wrapped around my midseciton like a kilt.
I felt a bit cold this afternoon and went out in my full winter gear.
Tomorrows going to be really cold though. Top of 11 or 12.
Went and picked up my medical cannabis from the post office today. Very odd, showing my ID, it all being legitimate instead of meeting someone in the corner of the pub. Haven't had any in about 20 years. It is a trial to see if it helps with my chronic pain from all my climbing injuries. Also, the manual for the vaporiser gives detailed instructions of how to pack it.. In 6 different languages ...
Here's my playlist for tonight. Starts with 50s 60s 70s 80s and 90s plus added stuff.

One row equals one serve??? I will be the judge of THAT cadbury
vertically right?
Exactly
Soβ¦ yesterday while getting some good ole IT support, I tell them I have no write access is because the folder is outside of the directory (that everyone thinks it is in). Emphatically told (x 3) nope, that should not affect my permissions. Then enjoyed a mansplain back to me about where the folder was located (I know, I detailed an email to a senior 2 months agoβwho had no idea what I was talking about) and walked me through their cmd force update. It wasnβt particularly patronising, but it was like I wasnβt even heard.
I mean I probably couldnβt IT help desk to save my life, but I canβt say it doesnβt hurt when Iβve done a little fun time hobbying with CLI.
But hey, small wins. At least it was fixed this time. Not like I have been waiting for two months or anything.
I have a catch up with some (nice) family this weekend but am otherwise free. I am seriously considering just being a big oodie couch gremlin for the day tomorrow. The world has been very noisy of late.
Update:
Home..bathed. oodie on. Ginger tea in hand. See ya on Sunday world.
The fuck has every cunt who knows i'm sick suddenly decided they desperately need me for things fuck off
Sounds like your hourly rate just doub.....may...tripled.
Get well soon...and get paid if you can!!
Won a bottle of Henny from a bet.
Been sipping it this evening and it's goooooooood.
Haven't had Cognac in twentyish years. Been missing out.
Dentist done for now. But I have to find somewhere that will take all of my wisdom teeth out at once, and preferably so full general anaesthetic. They suggested the dental hospital because they'll do it for either free or cheap, but it's a very long waitlist, and I won't get in to see anyone until I'm a full adult with full adult responsibilities. I'd rather do it now when there's people around to help me, and I can just not speak for a week with no issues
They suggested a low cost but private clinic in the east somewhere, but she said she would have to call to see what anaesthetic they can do. Apparently they also only accept referrals for certain procedures
Cost isn't too big of an issue, since it's not on my dime for the next 6 months. Part of the reason I want it sorted ASAP
Goodnight everyone β€οΈ
Visited the expensive fancy supermarket because craving olive bread. Now have much less olive bread and a belly ache.
Okay Kmart has just got these really cool iridescent skull candles in, and it is taking every ounce of self-control to leave them on the shelf. I do NOT need to spend this money. π
Has anyone ever replaced the plastic chain on rollerblinds? I have one here that was broken when I bought the house and looking to finally replace it.
