It's important to stack your cats to start the morning. Ignore the dog, she's pretending to be neighbourhood watch.
Omg. It's like the Brady Bunch.
Typical JR "THERE'S A FLY IN MY YARD".
High alert! It was a leaf falling from the tree...

I hope everyone has a great night ❤️
My headache wasn't too bad today, and I got to Wfh which helped heaps.
Work is going OK, responsibilites are amping up, but I like that. Get along OK with most people which is a plus.
Thank you everyone who put up with my drama over the last 6 months. You guys all made such a huge positive impact on my life. I don't know if I would have gotten through it without you ❤️
Bonus cat
I am so happy things are working out well for you. You really deserve this. 😘

You earned it and put in the hard work to get where you are now. You did that for you and Gibson, and you're succeeding.

I’m so glad you kept at it and persisted even though it was hard.
One of my friends tried to switch careers and had a ton of IT tech experience and he couldn’t for the life of him find a job many years back.
In the end he went back to his former company as they were happy to take him back if things didn’t pan out.
Don’t forget to treat yourself to something special every now and again!

to the fucker who microwaved fish in the office: Do us all a favor and tell your boss you have to change to WHF full time since you are clearly unable to work in a civilized office.
I was more thinking "make like a Russian oligarch who doesn't support the war" and out the window with 'em.

family whinge
Niece seems to have zero interest in hanging out with me and makes the thinnest of excuses to do so while spending almost every weekend with my cousin 2 hours away by train. Also sucks that cousin who used to be in touch more has glommed onto having her over and I'm basically invisible to them... stings a bit but I'm kind of okay with it since I don't super enjoy either of their company tbh, and I certainly hated obligatory aunty visits when I was that age. I've made it clear to my brother that I've tried but if his daughter's not interested I'm not going to push it, she's old enough to decide. Just wish she'd be more honest.
The thing that gets me hackles up is that I suspect very, very toxic ex sister in law is increasingly involved and brainwashing said cousin (who is of the gullible type). She's all about secrets and drama and thinks nothing of creating division to get attention she cover her numerous lies (including in court - she is utterly shameless). Years of being hated on by her - and in the past, my brother as well - make me ultra sensitive to some BS being spread about me...
... But fuck it. If cousin is going to believe that officially duplicitous bitch over knowing me from childhood then I'm not going to waste any more mental energy on the lot of them. Focus on the people who believe in and care about me
In other news, what a ripper day outside! Got back my blood test results and my vit D is the best it's been in winter, the supplements definitely helped but so has being out on nice days like this.
So many hugs. It's so hard when we have people like that in our lives.
I went NC with my family of origin, it was sad but the no drama was worth it.
Work colleague suggested I should fly Jetstar to Thailand. Lol I'm sorry but no, I'm a full service airline girl for international journeys.
I'm doing one of the longest DOMESTIC trips there is in a few weeks and am flying a full-service airline.
I do this trip usually a couple of times a year and have been burned by Jetstar one too many times, pre-Covid I made the decision to just pay the extra and be done with it. Never regretted it.
Some of my family still insist on Jetstar even though they can easily afford the alternatives, and it's a never ending tale of delays, cancellations, lost luggage (on DIRECT flights?!?!), broken seats and misery and tears.

Sees this comment after news update on TV about man being arrested on Jetstar flight for opening emergency door while plane was taxing.
By the time you add luggage and food (not going to eat for 9+ hours??) it ends up not being much cheaper if at all.

Sooo yeh I'm in between jobs rn and it feels pretty awesome
You know how you put banana's into the freezer to make banana cake and eventually end up just throwing out a hoard of old bananas before starting the cycle again? I pulled out my bananas and made a cake.
My shoulder is fucked, which means possible headache most of the day.
Hopefully not...
You gotta stop jacking off with just one hand, you gotta switch them up dude

I just accidentally ate two slices of banana cake. In my defence it is still warm from the oven.
That's just testing to make sure it's ok. It can take up to 4 largish slices to deem it edible.
I have followed your advice, testing has now deemed the cake ok. Fortunately it was a large cake 🤣. I now have 16 slices packaged in the freezer, and two more slices to take into work for the next two days.

So, most of my practical** assessments are done for this semester, bar one which should be done next week. Just gotta review them before submission, tighten up some terminology, and I'm sorted.
Crazy how I absorb so much information and do so well, when I'm not abused on the phones for 8 hours straight
Edit: not practice 🤦♀️🤦♀️ practicals ugh

Good night everyone and may no greebles bother you in the night 😘
Good morning, I was unbothered by greebles for the entire night. Miss Meow crept in early this morning to guard me from any that may have decided to make an appearance. I hope your night was simalarly greeble free.

Cat rambles
I’ve ordered some d-mannose from Amazon in desperation. I don’t know what the safe dose is for cats, it’s only been used for humans and it’s only really effective for E. coli…
But the cranberry extract probiotic for cats I bought smells foul. It has to be mixed in water and syringed into Melbcat’s mouth (otherwise it’s refused) and it stains her white fur and everything surrounding us red/purple when she spits it out.
I haven’t been remembering to give her the lactose free yogurt with the specific good bacteria either but I’ll see if I can get another tub and coax her to eat a spoonful a day.
In combination with antibiotic treatment of course.
I’m getting really worried. Melbcat is going well aside from this but is almost 17 now and she just can’t seem to shake this infection.

Thinking of you today @underwatermagpies@aussie.zone ♥️🫂
Thanks so much. It's actually next Thursday, but I'm feeling ok about it at the moment. Thinking about a day at the hot springs, soaking in hot water.
I will unthink about you today and think about you next Thursday. Hot Springs sounds like a good idea.
hugs
❤️
I have decided to treat myself.
I bought 6kg of chicken drumsticks.
I will be well fed!

80s kids party food please.
Already got: fairy bread, snakes in cups, choc crackels, those cornflake things, terrible little frankfurts.
Cheezels, a bowl of smarties and frog in a pond.
Jelly slice, jelly slice, jelly slice.
Party pies! And dead horse to eat with franks and pies and mini sausage rolls. Best put on table in bowls so the sauce bottle doesn't get used as a weapon or smashed on the floor. Ask me how I know this (no, don't - it's embarrassing).

The clearing out of stuff and the tidying and the fixing up furniture is working out really well. I am starting to see results. :)
Do we have any recent news about Nellie? Or do we get the calendar photo early next month?

Better day today than yesterday. Not sure if it was a better night sleep or not but I was able to calm things down a lot more today.
Right after buying from Amazon my payment method got declined from Coles and my accounts weren’t showing on the app.
Apparently there are issues with online banking that arose 30 minutes ago, but the timing… way to give me a heart attack.
