Miss Meow wishes her fellow Void a very happy birthday, and would like to express interest in a share of the treats.

cat starvation averted

getting some master's voice vibes from that
So starving heβs devouring the furniture, poor darling
Starvation clearing immanent. Yikes!
Freakin' GLORIOUS!
he's lost about 1 kg since that photo was taken , but still, he's not dying
he looks like he needs more food
Party is over and I bought way too much food and soft drink, but it won't go to waste around here I guess. Miniest's friends are all funny and nice little girls with nice mums, but I didn't get a chance to talk to them much.
Happy Easter from CEO and family π
I knew that florist's wire would come in handy some day.
Miniest's non birthday party today. She wanted a get together with her besties rather than a full on party. So we're hoping to snag a spot at the local "good" park (we live closest to the "shit" park) and I'm providing plenty of cold drinks and snacks. Got to make brownies and do some quick shopping. Off I go!
Balewn pretty
Now I've got 99 Luftballons stuck in my head, even though there's only one balloon. God I'm an idiot π
I have just learned that all the HBO shows have left Binge. HBO has launched their own streaming service. The fragmentation of the market is ridiculous. People are just gonna give up and go back to the seas.
Screw you mozzies.i brought aeroguard this time.
The orange kittens are really growing quickly!
All I can say is fuck moving bluestone, feeling it today. Stupid volcanos.
Heading down the bellarine today for the break. Gonna start building a pizza oven out of the heaps of sandstone down there. I have no idea what I'm doing but it seems like a good idea.
Sandstone can explode if exposed to fire, so be cautious about where you use it. Should be fine as a support, just not right against where the fire goes.
ooh.. hrmm. this is good to know. thank you :)
forgot to post how good the potato wedges were! the cheese sauce wasnt my best, but the bolognese sauce was amazing with them as was the simple sweet chili and sour cream. Gonna get back into the "snacks for dinner" to save a bit of cash and cause the kid loves 'em!
I'm just back from the beach at night
lights pretty, moon rise pretty
Anybody have the βboard game stash cupboardβ ? I counted around 30 board games and card games and half dozen puzzles. I think my favourites are Settlers of Catan and Risk, but the one game that everyone comes back to is UNO for some reason.
I think itβs more fun in a large group gathering thatβs more casual.
UNO Flip is one of my favourite card games, it's so chaotic. Got any games good for 2 players that you can reccommend?
The new UNO game has draw 10 and other weird cards in it. Great for big gatherings.
We have a lot of quiz games and classics.
UNO is a classic. Never gets boring. Cards against humanity gets pulled out a fair bit at friend game gatherings as well.
Flu vax acquired. The nurse this year was the most efficient ever, I was leaving almost before I arrived. Lollipop was also aquired.
Sky pending
Edit: sky has moved through ominous red into pale orange. I'm expecting an eye-searing ball of fire to appear any minute.
Achieving basically nothing all week cause no one wants to make a decision. More work falling to my team whilst the useless team is rewarded for not doing any work and being incompetent. Dreading this long weekend and a million other things flowing through my head.
But subaru just dropped a WRX TS Spec B. So I mean i guess I'm not quiting my job any time soon. Screw you capitalism, you win again.
PSA: shops closed tomorrow. Buy your eggs buy your buns buy your butter.
Happy Easter πΊ
We found a new home for the weekend
the cure to emotional overload is calling one's best friend to swear for 2 hours before an 11-hour sleep with a snack and toilet break in between
a hug is available on request
I am now very fine but thank you
First win for today. Chicken wings at 1.59 /kg from the local food market.
Iβll be feasting up for the next few days!
Got up at 3:30am after pizza-induced crazy dreams and heat and going to sleep early. Am now finally sat at computer forcing myself to do the last minute uni work I need to do before meeting my supervisor.
...of course, I want to do literally anything but that. Sinking feeling that I will not get to "enjoy" the public holidays much as I'm so behind on everything. My brain thinks of calhoon's gorgeous hammock photo from yesterday and is engulfed in sadness.
Also, what the fuck it's so hot in my apartment. Or I'm just really feeling it. I have to have the AC on in my south facing living room that has had the blinds closed all day...
OKAY. This meeting is at 9am and I need to be out of my house by 8:50 am so I better get cracking now. Headphones on, The Trip at full blast, let's go
Oh my lucky, my next door neighbours dropped off some lunch boxes for me.
Lunch has been sorted and I have too much food!
Aw, I forgot to bring my bunny ears to work. I even put them on this morning and then put them back down. Considering Iβm wearing slight extra zany makeup to go with them, I continue to look like the weirdo of the officeβ¦ but at least Iβm (very) sparkly!
Tonight's dream is lamenting with a stranger about the difficulties faced when dealing with docs when you have an substance use background.
i dreamed a kindly ghost , who I was at first wary of, stopped me from falling out of bed
I fucking love this film.
I hadn't seen the others before this one.
So many dudes hated it because Max wasn't the main character. Charlize Theron absolutely killed it in this movie.
I have approval for the rental place I'm less fond of. Haven't heard anything from the one that looks 100%. And I still haven't seen either of them in person.
The one I really like is currently vacant, so I'm presuming if they were liking my application they'd be moving fairly quickly on it, so not hearing anything is not a good sign. The inspection for the other one is booked on Thursday, so there is still some time for divine intervention.
But at the moment it's looking like it will be mostly about just how deceptive the 7 year old photos are in relation to the current condition of the property, and what's in the mysterious corner that none of the photos show. The other place I can piece together all the photos and the plan to get a great overview, this one has a few missing sections that my brain is imagining terrible possibilities for. Especially in regards to the door through the laundry, which in this place would be the most used entrance. If it's a dodgy set of steps or something it's going to be a hard no. I suspect it's just not in the photos because it is utilitarian but not pretty, so that will probably be ok. But I need to work out how I'm going to manage Mr Woof's access, which can be tricky with no sliding door to put an insert in.
$123 out of pocket for a skin cancer checkup. $205 upfront, $82 rebate.
My recent funky vivid dreams may be due to my CBD oil treatment.
Not complaining.
Morning guys. Iβm probably going to be late for work
If anyone's looking for a stupidly large decoration but didn't think the alien was quite right for you, there is a new option on Facebook you might like to consider.
