Thatβs painful
Whoops I accidentally sent the guy a reel that had the word boyfriend in it. I guess he's my boyfriend now.

You've had a few dates, kissed. It's not like you signed a contract or anything. Enjoy it.
Put my phone on the bed, it slipped off and hit my big toenail like a blunt guillotine. It hurt but it's gonna really hurt tomorrow.
I almost lost track of time & missed getting to the pet store. Fortunately they don't close until 6 so I was able to get Miss Meow's prescription food. Ouch that's expensive. It doesn't help that they didn't have the smallest bags, so I've got enough to keep Missy fed for a couple of months. I just hope it helps.
Today i'm hunting wii controllers, making gyoza and springers.
P's left for japan at 2am so I'm off the hook for a few weeks and took work off..
Partay is on! If I've missed anyone let me know.
There will be a talking stick so you can both talk and defend your choice of music.
I didn't get an invite :(
Would love to come along but this weekend is out for me. Next time!
How do you feel about older Netsky or anything under Shogun Audio?
I don't need to defend my choice of music, my opinion is objectively correct
Yes you do I found two sticks. I'm not getting invloved though I'll be on gyoza duty.
I'm at the vet with Miss Meow as she has been vomiting. We got to start with a fun game of hide and seek in the garden. Fortunately I managed to avoid claw marks. She is not impressed with the whole process.
Fingers crossed for Miss Meow. π€
Melbcat had the same thing and still had issues on prescription food so if Miss Meow doesnβt settle or like it donβt be afraid to go onto the single protein grain free stuff.
If you wanted recs
For dry food, Meals For Meows had a recall but their Mackerel and Salmon was the go to. I went to Taste Of The Wild in Canyon River/trout and smoked salmon but if you canβt get it MfM is probably ok now. These ones are around the bottom of that categoryβs price bracket. Pricey but still probably cheaper than prescription and better quality.
Wet food was homebrand Colesworth in tuna mince, then Weruva in Steak Frites or Lamburgini. The fish flavours of Dine Desire or Fancy Feast Royale are not nutritionally complete but were tolerated as well.
I use BioBlitz to clean anything biological and a cheap black light torch helps find sneaky pukes.
I hope Miss Meow is ok.

Windy. The rain is coming.
I just copped a face full of dust and dirt while waiting for a bus π
Ah, the little things that make life fun... like throwing dry ice into water.
Potassium into toilets
What does that do?
My green bin fell into the collection truck π
That means you get a nice new (and clean!) one. This is a good thing! Depending on the council you might even be able to just log it as missing online.
Yes i logged it so all good. The driver didnβt even slow down but what could he do anyway lol.

The new cutlery has arrived. It is impressively shiny, but extracting the 'display' set from the front of the box was quite a challenge, I had to use pliers to untwist the wires. Every single piece was also in an individual plastic bag which was a bit of a nuisance.
The old cutlery is in a bag ready to go to work, we are always short on cutlery there.
I was given the administrator password at work so I'm installing every program I can think of before it resets so nothing can hold me back
You want one called Screenpresso. Goodbye Windows bullshit snip tool.
I'll check it out. I've found ways to make the screen snip work for me but open to anything better
It does screen recording as well
Another presso for maketing today, 4th time delivering the same content. Youβd think Iβd be less nervous by now. Reminding myself I know more about the presso topic than anyone in the room so it doesnβt need to be perfect. And breathe.
Edit - it went well! Less people than RSVP'ed but all very engaged and asking questions which means more than people who just show up and listen silently. I have A LOT of leftover sushi catering though, gonna be eating sushi for a few days.
