I just hosted my first night of trivia and things went well enough. Once I’m familiar with the software things will go smoother and I bet I’ll be able to wrap everything up and get everyone out by 8:30
Goodnight all ❤️
Here’s a throwback to the morning after adopting Gibson
Here’s to new beginnings.
Indeed ❤️
Good night everyone 😘
Cat medical
Melbcat is getting a referral because her normal vet doesn’t feel confident handling this. I’m so stressed
be assured she is being seen by experts and people who care
so many hugs
I found out today that the head of sales is wanting to retire soon and they hired me to replace him pretty much.
That’s fucking crazy!!!
Whoa. That’s amazing news!!! Congrats 🎉
That’s AWESOME!!! And good to know early on. GET IT BOY!
Yo wtf
Legit. He explained it to me today because we share an office.
I’m just nodding along like, yep OK no worries.
In my head I’m fucking running around in circles jumping for joy and shit.
yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy …lol
OOOOOOO payrise in the future! Hell yeah!!
Good succession planning. Congrats!
The sun is shining here in Thornbury. Then the hailstones arrived … just small ones but wtf?
had that at the beach yesterday , fun
Back to Melbs today.
Have to leave my bestie. Sometimes it feels like she’s the only one that unconditionally listens to me (if I have cheese):
eyeshadow experimentation report, colour no.6 ( Ucanbe make up palette , Hidden Gems )
dove grey, the pigment is intense, very good coverage
and by a complete surprise it looks really nice on me, even suits me! brings out my blue grey eyes. I might use this all the time now.
( I thought grey was going to bring out my the dark circles under my eyes but no! )
Pork steak with mashed potato or potato gratin? You’ve got 1 hour to cast your important vote. Go.
Thank you. Your vote was important to us.
Mash! Gratin is nice, but NOTHING beats a good mash.
Mashed! Love mashed potatoes
With lots of black pepper, and butter. Eat with gravy. 🤤
mashed
Mash
oops, missed the deadline
Am I too late? Mash.
Gratin
Gratin.
Nothing wrong with that plate of food I tell ya what. Healthful and delicious 😍
Not healthful. There’s a shitload of butter in there.
False. No butter in there at all I didn’t hear it
Eyy I’m in for the second interview, a culture fit interview.
That’s even after accidentally letting slip “bitch” during the first interview 😂👀 context: he asked what I like to do in my free time, and I listed off gaming and reading, and “watching Dragula, because watching drag queens bitch about each other is strangely hilarious”.
Phew!
anti-histamines have been obtained
it was just getting ridiculous, rosacea flared, itchy all over, food sensitivity reactions got worse, irritated throat, woke up to a scratched cornea from ocular rosacea ( very painful )
Could this be MCAS?
MCAS , so, something else to worry about
and my symptoms are very mild, I just worry about my eyes
Today’s opshop LP is a documentary on 50 years of of BBC Radio. BBC 1922-1972, double album set
here is side one, just listen to the first minute, it’s wonderful , over 100 years ago now, “This is the BBC calling the world from London” :)
Crazy to think that means the BBC is over 100 years old now
venting about pain
:::Today is 3 weeks since my back muscle injury started and honestly I’m not sure I have seen any real improvement. It’s less raw sore but the soreness level has gone down, up, down, up, and today is an up day. It’s really starting to affect me mentally. I get woken up in the middle of the night from the pain if I shift in bed. I don’t want to get out of bed most days because laying flat on my back is about the only position where the muscle feels completely “off”. I’ve never had a muscle injury like this that just keeps going and going. Just want this horror to end.
I’m going to assume that you’ve seen a doctor or physio about this. Backs are hard to fix cos just about EVERYTHING you do uses core muscles that attach to your back at some point. Rest can only do so much - maybe a sport physio could help you a bit more than a regular one?
Have you seen a doctor about this? Cos I get that there will be up and down days but it should still be on the decline after 3 weeks.
I hope you feel better soon.
so many hugs,
back injuries are debilitating and depressing , literally the nerve pain signals create depression in your brain
do not do anything that causes pain, that only aggravates the injury and makes healing take longer
I suggest lots of rest
anti-inflammatories
hot water bottles in bed
hot baths to relax muscles and tendons and ligaments
read The Back Mechanic to understand your injury and what you can do
see a doctor
I fucking love this song
a happy positive song until the one line …lol
It’s the best part!!
whatever floats your boat, I’m not judgemental 👍👍👍
I had only ever heard Computer Camp. It’s always interesting to listen to the other music of groups you’ve hardly dipped into
Computer Camp is awesome, another great one of theirs!
My timing today has been good. I managed to time the dog walk so we didn’t get rained on, and I just managed to weed the front yard in between showers too. I have now removed all visible weeds from the front lawn and the worst of the weeds from the nature strip (focusing on the bindi and other prickly things). I also dug up a few patches of the lawn grass to divide and transplant into a dead corner, which may have been killed by overspray of weedkiller from adjacent paths or may just be out of the pattern the automatic sprinklers reach. The dead root system of the turf in that corner should act as a fairly good weedmat, I just tucked the grass between sheets of that and it will get a layer of topdressing soil and some fertilizer and hopefully fill in the dead corner with good grass.
Melbcat is going to the vet to be inspected today. I’ll have to remember to put her warm little wheat bag in the carrier before we head off.
aw, you are so considerate
