Sometimes I just want to shave my head.

No matter how much I vacuum, it’s like Tim from Demtel.

Breakfast breakfast breakfast... tomatoes and eggs and breakfast snags!

Then the dishes 😒 I really need to get onto fb marketplace to look for a second hand benchtop dishwasher already

The bird water was down again… one of the magpies landed on the edge of the container but because the weight had been stolen it just flipped over. I’d put something heavier/more permanent out there if I thought it would last longer than five seconds.

Melbcat has had breakfast but is still fairly quiet. She seemed to follow the movement of my arm with her head but then stopped doing it.

I’m starting to clean and tidy up my house for the home vet visit in a few days. The challenge will be to do it without stressing her out so I’m starting now and doing it slowly. I really hate having people in my house but it’s gotta happen -_-

I learned how to thread eyebrows while procrastinating but kept going on minor imperfections (rather than give in and use tweezers) and made mine a little bit thin or rather a shape I don’t prefer.

My tooth is giving me grief but I managed to get an appointment early this coming week.

I rewatched episode 4 of The Pitt as well before going into episode 5. The real-time format makes it hard to watch week by week as I'd forget the patients but damn it's so heavy sometimes that you really do need a break between episodes. Again, very unusual for me normally to re-watch an episode so soon but it's so well made that I was glued to the screen the whole time revisiting everything. And I really couldn't stop crying over the bit with the siblings and their elderly father, especially the sister. 😭 It is really good tv. I suspect near the end of the season I'll end up re-watching the whole thing from the start. I love so many of these characters

I didn't realise food resurrection was an option... The chicken, camenbert and cranberry pizza from Quiet Earth pizza pls. From around 2002.

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That sounds really interesting. There used to be an oddish pizza joint near here called Mad Moose. Unfortunately the time we went in person we both got very ill

What a nice walk in the rain.

[–] SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Grrr I can see parts of Melbourne getting rain on the radar, but absolutely nothing where I am. Jealous.

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Same. Wouldn't mind some rain to wash things off

E: I cranked open the window temporarily to see what it's like out there. Tropical. Foul!

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago

It was so, so welcome. I find it difficult to spend the whole day inside so i really needed that stretch.

[–] bacon@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

This tropical meat has never seen such frequent lightnings

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's incredible and kind of insane!

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)
