Back in melbs.
I miss my bestie down the beach.
She came inside yesterday and hopped up on the kitchen bench (hasn’t happened before) and just stood there when I was cleaning up. Honestly she’s more domesticated than a cat or dog. Zero need to chase her out of the house. Found her something to eat, walked outside and she followed at walking pace with no stress. I swear they’re evolving.
Birb friend! That’s so sweet. Can’t lie, I’d be worried about poop, but that’s still very sweet.
worried about poop
lol yeah that was my first thought too.
Everytime I accidentally leave beach towels on the outside chairs there’s always one on there. I suppose that part isn’t very domesticated heh.
They are really smart creatures.
Hey Maggie
One of my goals for wherever I move long term is to have birb friends. Specifically maggie friends.
Ooh…I feel … Oxygenated. That’s cool. Score 1 CPAP Con full face masks are not fun but not as bad as I feared.
Good morning everyone 😎
HELL YES!! Love to hear this! May you and your CPAP have many happy sleeps together!
How would it work if you sleep on your stomach with your head to the side?
You can get special pillows but I dunno. I did wonder that because I am a sometimes tomach sleeper but mostly was getting my head around side sleeping last night
Been really depressed lately, not helped by the hormonal hurricane I’m in with this period 💀 been trying to keep my head up, but I think I’m feeling the effect of not having a scheduled psych appt lined up.
My sleep cycle is a bit messed up, and I’m constantly drowsy. I feel like a big ball of whinge and woe-is-me.
On a positive note, I’ve applied for some jobs which I’m hopeful I’ll get interviews for, and I’ve been playing cult of the lamb and am very happy with the DLC content! It’s entirely worth it to me, and isn’t just “here’s some new clothes and follower forms, bitch” - there’s more interactions with the bishops and much more endgame content.
Mickey has also been very cuddly.
So many hugs.
sometimes I feel modern life is we are running twice as fast to just stay in the same place, it’s nearly impossible not to feel anxious and depressed
just keep doing the right things 😘
I wish I could sit on my 3rd cat tower and glare menacingly at someone until they give me treats.
Oh yes
Never seen feet move more quickly lol.
Ha. Must get home to set up fastwalk
Know at the end of your journey that you’ll be stuck in update hell.
Enjoy your new favourite relationship 😋
Oooh how exciting!! Whatcha planning on playing on it?!
School holiday fun!
Get ps+ it’s absolutely worth it!
The team lead at my woolies is stupidly hot, and I hate it because he’s so damn hot. Dammit.
That chiseled jawline.
Those roast chooks don’t fall from trees.
Unless chicken sale.
-unknown, 2025.
Had a big (for me) adventure today. Took the Minipeelers to Melbourne Central and had a wander around and look at things. Went into the Emporium part and had lunch at the Schnitz (kids choice) upstairs. I liked the upstairs part, it was cleaner and quieter than the other food courts in the main part.
At some point Elder asked if we could visit the museum and I thought, ok, why not? So we went there and Miniest let it drop that Elder was really keen to see the Lego Star Wars exhibition, so we saw that. It’s pretty cool, lots of displays and a couple of good interactive displays. One of them you make your own fighter space ship thing and put it in a machine which scans it and then projects it flying through space on a big screen. Another one, you make your own lightsaber, attach a receiver to it and stand in front of a screen which shows it glowing, and you can download the picture. There was also a part where you do a bit of Lego and it goes towards a big mural. Warning to anyone who takes kids: you have to leave via a pop-up star wars retail space (I saw a few tantrums!). The theme cafe was ok (could’ve done better with star wars themed food ideas) but I was hanging for a coffee by that point and any port in a storm I reckon!
Then we walked back to Melb Central and got Cinnabon to take home. Wish I could remember the name of the scroll place that used to be at Melbourne Central about 20+ years ago, it was the same kind of thing but heaps more types of scrolls and was really popular. Does anyone here remember?
Saint Cinnamon? I’m not sure if that’s correct but the name popped into my head. They were so good!
Saint Cinnamon 🤔 It didn’t ring a bell, but if all they sold was heaps of different flavoured scrolls (I remember loving the butterscotch ones, and there was some kind of cheesecake flavoured one 🤤) that were freshly baked and they had a location at Melbourne Central then that’d be it. God I loved those scrolls!
Fire alarm. FFS.
I’m going back to bed 😠
Miss Meow's litter refresh is complete
There are also a few leopard decals around the room to complete the look
that’s cool 😊
Hopefully Miss Meow will agree, she is still napping on the couch and hasn’t been in to see it yet.
That’s so cute!
It took me all day of getting distracted and bullshit avoidance strategies, but I’ve finally booked the campervan. That’s the biggest hurdle over. I splurged an extra $300 for a newer model that has cruise control even though I don’t like the layout as much and it’s not as spacious. My right knee isn’t the greatest these days so I am not putting it through 1000s of kms solo.
I’m just going to book campsites tomorrow because my brain is fried. I will definitely feel a lot more excited about this once all the bookings are over!
That sounds like it will be awesome fun. And amen on all the stress of organising travel.
It’s nice to sleep with my own pillow and blankets again. 🤗
Welcome back!
Thank you. 😘
Later I will post pics of NZ and of my hauls.
I am anxious to go visit my own little beach and see how it is. It’s a small beach and more ‘personal’ because no one else ever seems to be there. 😊
Welcome back! I hope it was a lovely sleep. Look forward to hearing about how you beach is looking!
I got put in Reddit jail hehe
Obviously you are doing something terrible.
I’ve just made someone delete their entire Reddit account, got someone else to delete a post and leave a Facebook group, and gotten into some pointless arguments with people over what day chores are done and been downvoted for saying sourdough is sour. It’s wild out there.
It’s all a bit silly out in the cesspool.
What did you do this time?
Those people at r/pasta are insufferable. I called a persons mother a “ hor d’ oeuvres” haha
lol, you are in the most surprising subs
Interesting. Actual literal meaning of the phrase is “outside of the main work/event”, meaning the little canape thingies are not part of the main meal. So you basically called the person’s mother an irrelevance. Can’t see a problem with that. Like, it’s not like it was face to face where the sound of the words is important …
Someone’s been naughty.
Into the corner you go.
why the fuck is it only thursday
I had a dream I’d slept through Thursday and woke up Friday morning. Was very sad when I woke up and it was Thursday.
Thank you Before Holiday Seagoon for making the house clean and having a really well set up office/desk to come back to
Cat are fighting over who gets cuddles.
Husband is happy to have chef home again, except we are having defrosted dinner tonight cos I’m tired.
I have to reset my watch, argh, two clocks on it and I want to do the chime too.
Airport was interesting, for the first time ever I had to tick boxes yes for border control. Yes I have been on a farm, yes I have wood ( shush ) , yes I have shells. After an interview they sent me through saying I was fine and could keep all my stuff. 👍 They did say if I didn’t declare I would have been fined!! ( to be positive, I saw the Icarus statue . 🪽☀️ )
I did two lasting self improvement things, I stopped playing bubbletown and I learnt about self instruction, where I tell myself out loud to do things, it works!
Never ate so much dairy in a long time. My clothes still fit but it’s time to diet again.
Grocery shopping has been ordered. Clothes in the washing machine. Unpacking has started. ( so many shells to wash , they 🐽 )
Love that the cats are fighting for cuddles, not acting aloof like “how dare you leave us?”
Welcome home 🤗😻
Hey fellow Lemmylings(?). Last week I did Run Melbourne and managed to cut open my foot whilst running (not sure how), limiting my ability to walk. Thing is, I was going to propose to my partner on Saturday and was going to do it during a hike to one of our favourite places.
Given I can’t walk, that’s not all that doable anymore. Annoyingly I’ve booked various other things around the engagement.
Any ideas for proposals that wouldn’t require significant walking? We don’t have our own transport, but are willing to Uber if need be. Thanks everyone!
EDIT: We’re in the Inner North on the Mernda/Hurstbridge train lines.
Congrats mate! You might wanna narrow it down for us. North, West, East, South East, South West etc.
That’s an excellent point, thanks mate! Edited the above, but we’re in the inner north, Mernda/Hurstbridge train lines.
A nice picnic at Edwardes Lake.
That’s actually perfect, mate! We’ve never been, but it’s definitely the right vibes for what I initially planned to do! Thank you so much for your help!
No worries
I take it you want a romantic spot to pop the question?
First meet location? First kiss location? Back of a volkswagon?
