Did somebody summon a Void?
Oh, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a Cat, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING! The shadows betray you, because they belong to me!
Now that's what I want to see first thing in the morning! Hello sweetheart! Tell mum to give you gentle kisses on your furry little head from me please. I hope your day brings you a sunny spot to bake and turn your fur into satin.
If he were any more silky heโd slide off the furniture ๐บ
Omg!!!!
Alrighty. Interview tomorrow for business unit leader. It's a place that sells IT hardware basically. On a large scale.
Should be interesting. Will report back tomorrow!
Enjoy your evening everyone โค๏ธ
Alrighty. I have my 6 hour YouTube video, my little IT lab setup, 4 colour pen and exercise books.
Let's go!
Send help i just finished cleaning up from cough-barfing on a cat and she is pissed
I have purchased a crispy pork banh mi with extra extra chilli. Time to nuke my sinuses from orbit.
It's bin day and we're waiting for the pick up. Elderly neighbour was out and on his way back home reversed into his bins, knocking them over and spilling a bit of crap on the nature strip and footpath.
Did he notice? Absolutely not.
Did he go out and pick it up? No chance.
Did I do the right thing, rush out and tidy up as the rubbish truck was at the top of our street? Yes, but was grumbling the entire time.
My biggest issue was that it took the rubbish truck a few minutes to do it's round. Not long enough for me to back inside, but just too long to stand outside waiting andlooking like an impatient resident that is totally judging the truck driver's performance.

might be worth putting a letter in the mailbox or something. Or if its a continued pattern of behavior report 'em. Today its the bin, Tomorrow could be a kid on a bike.
Good idea with the letter. Hitting the bins wasn't my main concert. Shit happens at slow speed. Not noticing that he did it was the alarm bells.
I can has new heater (pakidge!). Cheeky buggers supply no batteries for the remote, but seems good so far. Looking forward to toasty toes.
Old man just informed me yesterday he has a hereditary gene defect related to PCSK9 or Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 which means high cholesterol or sumfink.
I already had my parma and chips lined up...
So rude.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhshiddibdigxhdobsibs
I don't know why I fucking say anything on the other site. Fucking incel shit. I hate that the boys who said foul, sexist, racist crap on 4chan have infiltrated every other fucking site. Where did they get their confidenceโฝ Who raised these animals? Fuck me for even daring to voice my experiences, or the experiences of afabs. I know I should just abandon it at this point.
Why do we have to suffer through abuse and die to these foul fuckers? Why do we have to deal with this crap? If, for whatever reason, my partner and I don't work out, I'm joining that 4b movement. No debate. I'll go live in the fucking woods with the bears and spiders and lions, whatever.
Real fucking sick of boys and men feeling entitled to do whatever the fuck they want to afabs. I wish they would crawl into a fucking hole and die.
(I shouldn't feel the need to say this, but: yes, I know it's not all men ๐)
Yesterday a car drove up and back down my court and stopped outside my front gate, would the window down and took a photo (from what I could see). He then realised I was there and left. Not feeling overly safe, didnโt get numberplate so calling cops would be useless?
Dead end road in the sticksโฆ..
Not good. Do you have cctv? Might still be worth reporting. The photo (?) sounds like might be casing the joint for robbery of tools/generator/copper piping etc. Which is a thing that's increasing.
bed rest for a sore back is on order ๐ฟ just preventive
love you all ๐
Early night tonight.
Good sleep everyone . ๐
god I want that KFC snack pack for lunch, but 6 nugs PLUS popcorn chicken and chips is way too much to tackle solo.
Monk series last 3 episodes.
Very nice series ender, nice endings for every character, nothing surprising, it all seemed like natural conclusions to stories in the series. Like a short story, you see how the series was just a section of their lives, there was a before and there is an after.
I think the series was about love, grief and friendship.
I do wonder how eccentric special Monk's skills were. Can every viewer figure it out?

I'm still super tired and need to be up early tomorrow to leave early for an appointment and then dinner with a friend.... But I promised I'd bring a plate and I know she's far more tired and cash strapped than me, so I'm summoning all my energy to have a go at this vegan shepherds pie recipe now - to be finished off in the oven at hers tomorrow. It's got rehydrated shiitake, squeezed out jackfruit and coffee (?!). I really wanna see how it turns out, haven't made shepherd's pie in years.
Well, leftover pizza has been had - time to soak and chop and sweat. I can do this!!
5 degrees?? Feels like 3.1?!?
WTF!
I made some Greens packet cheesecake for the kids and whilst I wasn't expecting much, they managed to limbo under my low expectations.
I guess I've never had a cheesecake as fluffy, stiff, and bland as these before to have perspective.
It's not a hard 'don't recommend', more a 'don't bother'. Make cheesecake at home the proper way or buy a good one
Urghhh its like ghostbusters ii and i am vigo
Which is oddly ironic as i am marathoning the US version of ghosts. The UK version is some warm fuzzies but the US is straight up unhinged and i am here for it.
Sleeping for two days straight has helped. Still feel rubbish, butโฆless rubbish
I saw a kitty litter box with enter and exit doors and I wondered if kitty would care if it accidentally Dutch ovened it self.
Mickey has been snoozing in my oodie, and he doesn't seem to mind huffing his own farts. So prolly not lol
If someone farts in my house the dog licks the air but if it's him he pretends he's asleep.
After a few fallthroughs Melbcat finally got to the vet for her Solensia yesterday - she's having more noticeable side effects this time though.
Last night she pulled a chunk of fur out of her back and was stalking around lashing her tail all wriggly like a snake. Today she's been very sooky and smoochy, initiating and allowing a long session of brushing when normally she gets overstimulated after a few brushstrokes and walks away. (This time I sat to brush my own hair and she rubbed her cheek on my brush until I gave her a very long groom.) There's some squinting like there's pain or she doesn't feel good. She's also thrown up a bit and not finishing all of her food.
Nausea, loss of appetite and skin irritation are on the list of side effects so that's pretty normal. Getting a bit freaked out at Reddit comments claiming that it killed their cat but am just going to keep an eye on her.
I've had my flu shot today so we can cuddle and be wretched together.
In other notes, it seems cats love generic Tangle Teezer style knockoffs. I'll try it again when she's not craving brushies (it's the bean shaped solid plastic kind with no handle, very easy to clean in hot soapy water) and if it's nicer on her skin than the slicker brush it can become hers or I'll buy her her own.

time i make my signature dish
Unbelievably, I made the shepherd's pie! The texture didn't really come out how I thought it would, though I think that's because maybe I used this brand of tinned jackfruit that I honestly never should use again, too much of the tough core and not enough flesh.
However, the umami/flavour is out of this world. Lots of it would be from the tomato paste, dried mushrooms and soy sauce, but I think the coffee definitely added a certain something to it too... must try again with some tweaks.
Maybe I'll make a spag bol sauce on the weekend with the remaining tomato paste and tvp mince, and see if the coffee trick works again ๐ค โ ๐
Preeeeeety sure the mrs car needs a new clutch. Pretty sure it needed a new one when we brought it, but SOMEONE (who shall remain nameless) living out his little Evo-driver-fuckboi fantasies in it cant be helping. She's gonna make me pay for this.
How do I be charming when I have no charm? Advice needed several years ago
Charm comes from being your authentic self. Sounds cliche but that whole "you could be the best, most delicious apple, but there will still be people who don't like apples" saying.
Be you, the whole of you. And you will attract and charm those who you like as well.
