Peas and gravy.

The perfect combination.

Stimulation Clicker, a comedic browser-based incremental game from the same person who made Absurd Trolley Problems and many other fun little things

It was so over the moment I realised I could cheat with the DVD bounces.

I found my Nella Last books. Nella was an Englishwoman who wrote diaries and filled out questionnaires for Mass Observation during WW2 and continued for years afterwards. Somebody then compiled several books out of her 12 million words. A fascinating read written by a housewife and volunteer at the time.

Has anyone been to the Jurassic World Exhibition in Brunswick? Is it any good? Thinking of taking my daughter there tomorrow or Friday.

Someone posted this in the other place, it's a live stream of a fuck off massive titan arum in Braeside blooming:

If you go back about 1.5 hours to compare you can see it is (quite) slowly opening right now.

That thing is grotesque. It looks like two decomposing legs pointing up out of a huge Venus fly trap

I was just in the kitchen and I saw something at the back door. I walked to the door and a cat was there, just staring. How strange.

I think Miss Meow got sent to you by accident.

The house spring clean begins today. A lot to do. Going to get the bathroom and bedrooms done.

I thought the night flu tabs would help me sleep, but they didn't. I'd really like to sleep but can't get comfortable ☹️

You need one dose of Miss Meow.

That’s what I’m prescribing you.

Well that was a waste of 30 minutes with my car insurance people trying to ask for a discount with failure.

I need a good movie for tonight.

I have made good progress today. I acquired good drugs, managed to spend all day sitting up and even managed a proper breakfast and lunch. Dinner was an iced bun from the freezer, but two outa three ain't bad. I even managed a shower and brushing my teeth. Tomorrow I might even feel well enough to floss!

Mr Woof is definitely hoping the progress continues, he has a physical therapy program worked out involving many walkies that he wants me starting ASAP

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have a plan on how to get a full night's sleep. Let's see how it plays out.

Goodnight all ❀️
