When is catching day?
Starting on the 21st by the looks of things.
Fingers crossed!
I have a possum trap in Springvale if you need it.
Will absolutely let you know. Thanks man :)
I have monthly visits to Yarraville as well FWIW. I got the trap out of hard rubbish for my stray but I've got nowhere to put him if I catch him. Traps in perfect nick from what I can tell.
They are all so beautiful!! You've done an excellent job!
I really appreciate it :)
I just need to find them homes now and I'll have done my part.
Todayβs been really hard. I might go to bed
May your evening be nice and calm!
Have a good sleep. Hopefully tomorrow is better
rest up, seems more than a few people are having a hard time
I fell asleep at my desk just before
It is beautiful outside!! Sitting outside under the fairy lights, enjoying the beautiful evening. Here's wishing for a restful night for you lovely peoples! π€

Unkaos. I managed to fill two paper shopping bags with stuff that wonβt be worn or no longer fits.
But the downside is I have to find some new clothes that are comfortable
I wonder if I'd get in trouble for starting a Go Fund Me to buy more cutlery for the kitchen at work.
you can get cutlery for 20c a piece at op shops
With the rate cutlery disapears around here that could still be expensive. And the increased demand would probably wipe out the op-shop supply and lead to higher prices. Unless they take trade-ins, we have something like 100 knives and only one solitary spoon.
op shops have a million knives and few spoons
If only there was some sort of alchemy that could be performed to convert them.
In an alternate dimension thereβs ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
Isnβt it ironic
don't you think?
A little too ironicβ¦
Sumfin stole all me apricots this year so built a ghetto golf driving net w/ the netting and some pvc:
Not sure how long it'll stay upright but so far so good (and freeeee).
Yeah so here's a piece of advice:
Dont increase your protein intake to the point where it accidentally becomes your only fuel source.
Ask me how I know :(
Farts that can wake the dead?
Carbs make you happy. Had gestational diabetes some years ago. Went very low carb to control sugars. Was very cranky bitch for the entire pregnancy.
Yeah I have to say, I'm prone to the occasional low mood, but I don't think I've ever been as angry and tired as I have the last few days. Lesson learned
No carb intake puts you into 'Keto-flu'. You feel absolutely foul and run down for a several days. It gets better but absolutely sucks.
Constipation?
Protein toxicity:
Extreme mood issues
Fatigue
Nausea
Etc
Oh yeah. You need those carbs and fats too. Look after yourself mate.
Lipids / Fat is also an important macronutrient, particularly for hormones. Unless medically directed I think we should all be getting our kilojoules from all three sources.
Got some good news regarding my car but there's still a month for which the rug could be pulled. Crossing fingers and toes!! Here's to another month with Moaning Myrtle and then a new red zoomie car.

bread turned out well
housework mostly done
just mostly relaxing here
I found a really cool/tacky pair of jeans. Still fit (if rather tight) but way too banging to wear around the scrubs in this area.
Iβll keep them in the cupboard for when I join a Guns βN Roses cover bandβ¦
Kiss from a rose is a normal song, but it's so weird how it git included in the Batman Forever soundtrack. The music video is Seal walking around a rooftop in an open shirt with the bat signal behind it.
I need to do some reading if there's anything out there about it, because why is it a batman song?
Whilst not fighting crime batman was a rosarian.
Urgh. I feel like crap. Body aching, oily hair, canβt seem to shift myself to do anything.
Melbcat seemed to be wheezing or dry retching which is a concern. Iβll keep an eye on it.
