Found his limit:

He'll change his mind tomorrow but for now he gets some time off.

Success, I am now trapped on the couch by a warm and purry feline. ... I'm just not in the most comfortable position to hold but I mustn't move the cat.

The blues are here even with soxcat around. Some sad news lately that just seems to put a damper on things and my lack of progress lately on the thesis ain't good.

Try again tomorrow... Gonna disappear into a chip packet for now and ponder AI taking over everything again after watching some VEO 3 clips.

Also I can't get over how unbelievably soft sox's fur is. And she still smells like baby powder. Even though she only eats dine crap at home...

Hmmmโ€ฆ I prescribe cuddlepurrs. Maybe if you put a heat source in your lap and feed her a creamy treat

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago

Iโ€™m sorry. Be extra kind to yourself, one funeral is hard let alone two

Stupid roleplays for my assessments are done, now I just need to write a bit more - fluff it out - and submit. Then I only have 3 quizzes (not open yet) and an oral presentation to do, and I'm done! Should be good by mid June, then I get my cert aw yeeee

Saw my cunt of an ex at Flagstaff station before, as I was on the train passing through. They didn't get on, or recognise me (I've lost 20kg, and was wearing a beanie and hornrim sunnies lol).

They haven't changed at all, physically or mentally, and I love that for them. Couldn't have happened to a better person tbh.

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ughh. People like them should have the decency to fall into a black hole so you never have to worry about being jumpscared

Gah, I just replied and posted in the wrong daily post.

Oh well, for tonight Iโ€™ll be having meat lovers pizza with mushrooms after I eat those yucky noodles.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I just had 1.5 home made meat pies

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago

Oohh yum yum yum. I miss my dadโ€™s home made pies.

[โ€“] TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Party size or Family size? It's kinda ironic that party pies are small but family pies are large. Like parking on a driveway but driving on a parkway. You'd think a pie big enough for a party number of people would be even bigger than a family size but no.

sky very pretty

pinks and oranges and a thin sliver of moon framed by palm fronds

Cleaned my earbuds, and so I'm using old wired ones. They work somewhat better than the wireless ones?

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Could you elaborate why they work better?

I may be able to shed some light depending on the context.

[โ€“] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The audio is a bit crisper.

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Ah ok.

Think your wired ones are just simply better quality.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago

Onto book 4 of Helen Forrest's Liverpool autobiographies.

It is very interesting how Helen describes her family, particularly her mother.

Helen will recount a fact then write her mother's explanation, showing how her mother is abusive and lies and lies and steals and steals. And that's just the mother's better traits.

It's an interesting portrait of a female psychopath and the heartbreaking suffering of her victims.

The distressed blacksmith runs into the tavern shouting that the goblins have kidnapped his daughter. Your group is sitting around a table in the back having just escorted some supplies to the general store... What do you do?

Come on tomorrow night, looking forward to my date :)

Edit: I wish I could go to bed right now.

[โ€“] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Same person you mentioned last time?

[โ€“] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Sadly not. We got along like a house on fire but our lives are going in very different directions.

Chef has relocated and is no longer of this world. But fear not, for we are omnipresent and we shall continue serving from another universe. It is however with regret that we will no longer be able to raise alert in the event of sky pretty.

Finally worked out how to get this dog to finally bring the ball back.

You have to kick the ball and not throw it.

Not sure how that works but it does.

Screaming junkie neighbour. Manager treating me like a junior and micro managing. Not enough sleep. Reducing anti depressent dose.

Feels like I'm going to explode.

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 8 points 3 days ago

Feeling pretty dang sore today, but I a good way.

Planning a nice long sauna/Steam session tomorrow morning to get in a weekend mood.

Office is dead as but since I'm still fairly new in this role, I'm showing up as required until end of probation at least.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I hope tinybreak is okay - sending you good vibes! ๐Ÿ’œ

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

At the moment I am assuming everything missing has been packed into one of my boxes. Being tiny it is entirely possible he has slipped in with something else without being noticed. If so he is likely very safe with lots of soft packing material, but may not be able to return until unpacking happens next week.

Alternatively, he could have slipped through to another plane of existence, and Bacon is looking for him now? If so I'm sure he will be found quickly and will return to us very well fed.

Tiny, if you are out there, please bang on a pipe or something so we know you're ok...

[โ€“] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 11 points 3 days ago

They're banging on reddit pipes, I think he's fine.
