Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Today sucked for pain but I saw a skink in my house. Which was interesting. I’m glad Melbcat didn’t see it because even at her age she is a fantastic hunter.
No idea how it got in. Considered catching/shooing him out to avoid brutal murder by cat, but didn’t want to traumatise him or make him drop his tail. So I didn’t get any closer. Hoping he finds his way safely out.
I had this plunger thing I bought from Daiso that was great for making scrambled eggs. The MIL managed to break it and she couldn't find another one at Daiso recently.
It was already a cheap plastic French press, so I'll see if I can find an actual French press and replace it with that

Watching Terms of Endearment because it's supposedly famously melodramatic. Why is everyone in this movie so horrible/creepy. John Lithgow has such an innocent and smooth face though
E: how was this such a popular movie, so much schlock. I hate almost everyone in this. So manipulative! What a sign of changed morals...
