This is just. May her memory be a blessing π₯
Wife and I come from cultures where death and funerals are the most depressing things ever.
We're trying to change that.
Kids have divided her toys between them and will make ornaments from them.
youse guys are awesome π₯²
I will learn from this
that's very good of you to honor your cat π
so many hugs
My parents taught me that pets are family, not animals.
Passing that sentiment along to my kids.
We had a good dinner banter session about the cat. Made inside jokes and had some reflection (not intentional, just flowed).
Everyone is in good grieving spirits.
Had to put our cat down last night. Poor little thing was sick all week, multiple vet visits and she deteriorated rapidly last night. Started as tummy issues but turned into a massive infection and didn't respond to treatment.
Absolutely devastated.
Please hug your pets extra today.
That's a tough decision to make, but so good of you to not let the little one suffer any more. Sending you and the fam lots of love and warmth!
Thanks, she was getting so bad even the vets said it's low chances she'll make it. Wish I could have hugged her more.

βI am indeed a fierce predator, however, I seem to have gotten the handle of this plastic bag around my neck. It would be in your best interest to remove it post haste!β

Our old dog (absolute runt that weighed 5kg soaking wet) would stand his ground against any other dog, but would yelp and cry at plastic bags in the park.
Got a decent sleep!!!!
Mild headache from sleeping like a clown but eh I'll take what I can get.
No gym today. It's the last weekday of freedom before I lock into study and the full job hunt next week. Yeeha.
Edit: slept even more after breakfast. Might keep it up for a few more hours.
Stressful two weeks at work doing new complicated stuff. Also has been late shifts which always take it outta me. Almost there, TGIF
Goodnight all β€οΈ
We are gonna be in Reservoir tomorrow (for YL's nails). Where should we visit? Food & leisure. Where can we find the best chilli? Brunch, lunch? Bakery?
Hit up Aboulaban in Edwardes St for amazing baklava.
Thank you. β€οΈ
Edwardes lake park is nice, and thereβs even a steam train to climb on
E: actually, I donβt think you can climb anymoreβ¦maybe thatβs a more recent thing because you could when my kid was little
2E: remembers kid is now old enough to get his license eeeeeee

Big W sale ended and no longer allows guest checkout so I went to good old eBay. Cheaper but should do the job. Had the parcels sent to a nearby business for collection due to thieves.
They accidentally sent me an extra month salary. Iβd love to keep it but the poor payroll officer would be fired in an instant.
Definitely a severance payment, wouldn't second guess it tbh
Surely you could at least assume that for a couple weeks and if they don't contact you...
What should I make with this pile of diced goat? Not jerk/Jamaican curry. Has bones so not pie suitable.

My predecessor at work has cracked the shits because I wouldn't let her "just log on and do a few quick things". Sweetheart, you don't work here anymore. And your bookmarks and passwords aren't magically still saved in the computer.

weekly planner has been taken out of the stationery box
i bought so many things knowing they were useful and would benefit
just took a while to get to that place
Sky pretty
Oh the black cat is outside! And Melbcat insisted I open the door. Uh oh! (Screen door still locked.) Thankfully he didnβt approach so we didnβt get World War III.
Iβve stopped donating to the food pantry because money has got tighter (pensioner and cat getting sicker) and the local drop off point has closed.
(Complaint about someone abusing it removed.)
