A study of Pepper in packing paper. These make it look far calmer than it was.

Looks like I've just made my first post ever! 😅🪭 Good morning and goodnight lovely people of the daily thread 🧵🪡

Tax time

Dentist complete. Have retained all teeth

Reference and police checks are underway for the new role. All goes well should have an offer shortly.

Excited, cause it's something new. Nervous cause it's something new. Anxious, cause I really don't want to meet new people.

Lucky Gibson has a vet appointment tomorrow. She's feeling a bit lousy poor Fluffball.

Took the day off work because fuck it why not.

Alfie has let me know that he plans on releasing books about the Grave Injustices That Cats Face, his first will be highlighting a particularly grievous instance that affects cats worldwide:

Mum Had Ham and She Didn't Give Me Any! (Okay, She Gave Me a Bit, But I Want MORE).

He feels it will be a Sunday Times Best-seller.

Well that’s enough news for today. Clive Palmer has a new political party, called Trumpets of Patriots. No this is not a Beetota advocate headline.

What aggrevates me is that if you agree to do something, actually fucking follow through.

If you don't want to, then just say so, instead of fucking me around for days.

Fucks sake.

Some people don't understand that they're fucking with someone's life.

I have Seether by Veruca Salt stuck in my head this morning. No idea why.

Not complaining, takes me back to my uni days, maybe my brain is feeling nostalgic.

I’m off to the dentist. Back shortly

I think I need to go shopping for a humorous coffee mug. The DT has inspired me.

good people, normal people, usually self question and self blame and start to think that maybe they are the one who is narcissistic

sure, people who are victimised by narcissists might end up with psychological injuries but that's not the same as being narcissistic

here is a video by a therapist, that I watch regularly, to help us affirm that we are ok https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5X2Q2dunHU

you're ok 😘😘😘 love you all

dear lord the internet is full of americans discovering "great new ways of growing food" that are just standard good practises.

Night night

Wish I could print out my brain. Dreamt a manuscript/fresco I'd like to attempt painting, but seriously do not have time right now! Scribbled notes and crossed fingers for future memory it is.

Person walking around co-working office with no shoes on. I've got no issue if you take your shoes off under your desk, but then walking around the place with no shoes, nope. It's a workplace, not your home.

So I won't be so easy with the treats anymore. It makes fluffy tums sore.

Brain dump swept up.

Today I'll be cleaning the top shelf of my pantry. I wonder what forgotten treasures I'll find.

Much less stress in the kitchen. Made a kickass mushroom and pea curry with cashew cream, and finally cooked up the cabbage (with possibly too much of ajwain seeds). Everything is clean and tidy and I don't feel so overwhelmed. Success!

I'm going to have another crack at Juice... 25% of the way through and not that impressed, seems like a lot of heavy handed exposition atm. But I'll keep going

E: nice to listen to even 2 minutes of rain, so calming ☺️

A lot of people in at work early, someone's playing music from their room and the sound is travelling to me. Usually not so noisy so early I don't know what's up today.

To counter it I'm playing Dua Lipa's Houdini before I go outside.

On the subject of things that should really be taught in school, one of my top requests would be Identification and Management of Narcissists.

I've recently had someone go into defend me against a narcissist abuser in my life, and all the defender has managed to do is become a target himself and escalate the narcissist's rage towards me.

Not been feeling too well lately, resting and watching old stuff.

Shows like Extreme Cheapskates are just fake rage bait. Yeah, a woman with a full face of makeup, false lashes and an entire set of false nails is so frugal she uses dryer lint for makeup removal. She drives an SUV to the supermarket to beg for meat scraps. Pull the other one!

I hope that episode of Adults Adopting Adults was faker than it looked though. I’m aware that these shows are very scripted and heavily edited but Danny was seriously concerning. I actually feel like that situation was one of the rare ones the camera didn’t overplay.
