aw
he looks tired out π€
I mean, how could you?! He belongs there.
Still at the hospital.
Stuff is back to normal but they did a thyroid blood test and they think it's over-active which might have led to the heart stuff.
Feel bad, the strays will be waiting and I ain't getting home anytime soon
Oh no. Take care and yep hyper thyroid will do it!
Sending good vibes!!!

Glad youβre back to normal, hope youβre out of the hospital soon.
Glad youβre ok and they found some answers.
Shit :( I hope everything gets sorted soon
Damn, sorry to hear that and hope you're doing alright
so many hugs
it can be frightening but it's very treatable, you'll be fine π
the fluffy guys will be ok for a day or two
Coming home from the city today there were all these cops milling around at the gates to the station. Seeing all the cops just milling around with the vigil for the guy behind them made me want to say to them, "bit late now you useless cunts."
There are posters and shit around demanding the police station be open 24/7 as a result. It makes me ask, where the fuck were the cops the night all this happened? They've shown they can increase their presence at the station whenever they want, and our wannabe liberal member got a hold of my email address and was harping on about the crime at the station months ago.
So if this was a known issue, how was a kid able to be mugged in the first place? And why was a regular passer-by the person to intervene. The demand is going to be for increased police presence, but I feel this whole incident and the police response shows how useless and ineffective they are.
Like really, do they expect kids to try mug anyone at the train station so soon? What do they think hanging around at the station will achieve aside from justifying their own existence?
The only time I've seen the police at the station before this was at 6pm on a week day to catch fare evaders. Who do they think they're stopping at 2pm on a Thursday? Bunch of useless cunts, the lot of them.
I made fajitas for tomorrow nights dinner and now my house smells of fajitas but I can't eat them yet π
I visited the new Rosanna library today. The balustrade pictured here is 10mm thick steel. Obviously it wouldnβt be a single piece but it looks like one. Itβs quite astonishing. Iβm puzzled by the fact that itβs painted though. If you use a material like that in a way thatβs a bit unusual and clearly meant to be a design feature, donβt hide it with paint π€·
I dream of having a house with a statement curved staircase like this, that I descend to my guests watching my grand entrance below.
We'll need to go check it out soon. The old library was underwhelming to say the least
Also impressed by the handrail work!
Ooh this is cool!!
Water company taking the piss yet again. No, we will not be paying the bill for the entire set of units. Just like last quarter. Get your arse into gear for a ream from the ombudsperson.
beach
That's a spoonbill at the beach, they swish their bills in the water to feed. I don't see many of them as seagulls hate them and will drive them away.
I also saw fairy wrens, some big ducks, pelicans, seagulls, terns, stilts, moor hens, red cap plovers, topknot doves, sparrows, willy wag tails,
and lots and lots of star fish .
It really was good to see all the wild life even if it was so cold and windy today
Tachycardia sucks ass
Edit:
Welp. Ambulance time.
Dude WTF?! Be well!
(My MarioKart skills aren't that scary)
I hope you're doing OK β€οΈ
take care
sending healing vibes
π― hope you're ok
mumble ranting about transport companies Bad juju today.
Organising win for the day: the box my fit watch came in is the perfect fit to go in my bathroom organiser and tidy up my unruly packets of dental floss picks.
I've tidied up the bathroom cabinet a bit, and a section of the pantry that was a chaotic mix of vitamin pills, pet supplies and a few random things that were far better off elsewhere.
I'm continuing to work on the area of the study that became a dumping ground for all the miscellaneous stuff I wasn't sure where to put when I moved. The plan is to clear out all the excess clutter and tidy everything up and create space for the new fitness stuff.
Got antibiotics and just as well because my finger is swelling up.

Saw some pet things Iβd been looking for in pink. I only find those items now. And fully expected to see her when I got home π
hugs
I used to expect to hear Allie's meow and would sometimes see her out the corner of my eye. But it was just habit and wishing.
The other day my building's fire alarm went off, and it wasn't a test lol I spent 5 minutes chasing Mickey with a towel to get him in the carrier and then hustled downstairs to hang with all the other resident cats in their carriers.
Took about half an hour, but it turns out the cafe they're putting in downstairs on the street, they're doing renos, tripped it accidentally. No actual fire.
We got back upstairs and Mickey promptly nipped my ankles and calves, until I plied him up with a tube treat mixed with some dry treats.
This is him afterwards
I have 3 cats and a hyperactive jack russell... I'd be fucked getting them all out in a hurry.
My dog would push me out the way to get out first.
I don't think Mr Woof would go well in an appartment, but in a house he's great - he self-evacuates to the back yard every time there is a noise he doesn't like. Which includes smoke alarms, blenders, crockery clinking... He evacuates multiple times a day when I'm home!
Miss Meow would be a problem if she gets scared and goes into hide mode. She's black and can melt into shadows, there is a good chance I wouldn't be able to find her in an emergency.

Just had a visit from the local JWs. Definitely one of the less annoying types of proselytiser.
I had them not long ago. They started debating me on something but as soon as I said "look, you're trespassing" they up and left. They younger lass tried to continue but the older guy was all nah we really gotta go.
When I was in Perth last October, my partner and I were waiting in the car, in the carpark, and we saw and were approached by American Mormons on a mission lol. They tried to convert us, we politely declined and they left. They were two young women, maybe barely 18-21?, and there was an older man close by keeping an eye on them, I assume like a chaperone.
It was very strange. I didn't think they came to Australia, I thought their missions usually involved going to the global south, not the actual south lol
That's so funny. Reminds me of the Book of Mormon musical. I still have to go see that
Nice people, terrible organisation.
Woo! Free reusable coffee cup at the conference. I didn't even know it was part of the deal. I've seen these ones around too, they're the expensive ones
beach, I will take photos π
Looks like it's a day of reading reddit again.
We all have those days. Hope you're doing okay
