Melbourne

Start my new job in 2 weeks.

FUCK YES!

I’m calling in sick

I'm going on an excursion to Footscray today.

Happy Birthday to TheVoid! Off to market to buy gooshy treats. And cheese.

Called in sick, went back to bed. Have since had a good two or three more hours of at least dozing.

This is helping

Much fun today. I don't need another tote but how could I refuse this cutie.

Also got the world's tallest dunny roll holder.

Spreadsheet isn't ready yet so no painful meetings. My manager is working from home as well so I would have been doing calls over teams anyway. And it means I still lost the import lottery so I'll be dealing with it at some point

Dear sleep

Whatever I did to upset you, I'm sorry.

Let's get back together. I've changed.

Disappointed that today's emoji was not the fire one, @YarraByte.

After being so good for so many years, I think I'm gonna need a filling after my next checkup. Maybe too much chocolate just before bed...

I might just lie on the sofa today and watch telly, try to get over this fever/cold

Ugh. Bad dreams.

New shoes finally arrived. I've corrected my previous error and bought the shoes with the gore-tex so hopefully they're a bit waterproof. It will be great for being a dad and riding to work

Five breakouts today. Renaming him to Samdini.

Max doesn't try to open doors, he just assumes he's supposed to be everywhere and trots blithely past you

construction noise loud

I wanted to go in today because I need to go over a spreadsheet with my manager and looking st that over teams sounds like the worst thing in the world. But I slept in and it's now too late to head in

I bought coasters

No sign of the little visitor today. Feels sad and lonely but is also a massive relief. I’ve been fighting this ringworm for months and was stressing about whether he’s being cared for, so I hope he’s tucked up warm at home and eating well (hopefully with a vet visit scheduled). The magpies will be a lot safer now and there won’t be remnants to attract foxes.

I’m in bed with a hot water bottle and have been catching up on sleep. I’ve started reading again.

This is normally the weather when Melbcat would have been extra snuggly or asking me to put the heater on. Here she is in the prime spot in front of the heater. You snooze you lose :P

In front of the heater

Tea review. 🍵

Twining Jasmine Green Tea. What a terrible disappointment. This tea was flat with very little fragrance of any kind, no green, no jasmine. I checked and it is many years to use by date so it's not stale.

Would not be served at a Hobbit tea. No stars. ❌

Trying to figure out what different areas are like to live in based on people's online opinions is very challenging. The area I am looking at ranges from a really nice place to live (as long as you avoid a small problem area with housing commision flats) to an absolute hellhole where you need to sleep with one eye open and can expect to be murdered every couple of years.

yay, new keyboard cover has arrived, hopefully I won't make as many typos now. 👍
