    Don’t know if anyone was watching the news but a cargo ship in Baltimore collided with a bridge and took the whole thing down.

    It sounds horrific.

    “Man’s Attempt to go to bed early foiled by cat chasing random bug in bedroom. When asked why he didn’t remove the cat he was quoted as saying: she’ll just bang on the door all night” More news at 11.

      Cat chasing bug is excellent. My cats won’t, they just lazily look at bugs while I tell them to do their job of protecting the house from said bugs.

    I started feeling worse after a nap yesterday afternoon. It was one of those naps where upon waking I could swear I’d been punched in the face and been run over by one of those wannabe F1 drivers they always seem to hire for replacement buses

    I ran out of soothers, not that they were doing very much anyways. But I did find an orange in my fridge, so I had that. Also remembered I have no sugar cordial I keep on hand for when I’m sick (when I have a cold, I always really struggle with water intake despite usually drinking lots)

    Also I bought a game called chef in the steam sale and hopped on at 10 thinking I would play an hour then go to bed, but it’s now 2 and it appears I may still be awake

        All are good. Even better when you blend them together in a hot choco, but the sugar content tends to be quite horrific.

    Finally the apartment has cooled down to a more reasonable 24°C. So the cats have started their zoomies.

    They have been lethargic and not doing zoomies in the last 3 weeks as the apartment was constantly 31-35°C.

      When you are the moon, the best form you can be is a full moon. And then the half moon… he’s all right. But the full moon is the famous moon. And then three-quarters, eh, no one gives a shit about him. When does he come, two days in, to the calendar month? He’s useless. Full moon. The moon. The main moon.

        When you are the moon, there is a person people say is the sun. I saw the sun once, and he came past me, really fast. And it was an, it was called, the, an eclipse. And he came fast! But as he came past, I, I licked his back. [sticks out tongue] And he doesn’t know I licked his back! All in his yellow suit!.. I’m the moon.

          One time, I saw a man looking at me, yes, with his eyes. And then, he, he picked up a tube. And he looked, in the tube, and he made the moon big, inside the tube. The moon big inside a tube!

    I just dropped my cat at the cattery for the very first time. I feel like an absolute monster, abandoning my little baby. I know it’s for his own good- I’m going away for 10 days and last time I was away that long he struggled with a friend visiting daily.

    But still. And the house feels very empty.

        He’s a sociable boy, and I know he’ll be just fine, but it’s still hard to walk away and leave him there! He’s probably having a lovely time already.

        I had an idea to have a pre-thought-up tirade ready which uses subbed words like darned, fudging, etc. for a laugh.

        But I also have another idea locked and loaded which might be fun too.

      I had a floor length full circle skirted dress taken up once and just that cost almost as much as the dress. Proper alterations so a dress (or any other sort of clothing) fits properly are well worth it.

          Except this dress did not have a waist seam. There were lace overlays and an asymetrical seam around the skirt involved, so in this instance even though it was a very long hem it was still the only real option. 💃

    The bloody postie just delivered a package for next door to my place. It’s just me home, I don’t know this neighbour, and I can’t go 2 minutes without sputtering like a truck engine from the 1930s

    Ironically his parcel says “SIGNATURE ON DELIVERY REQUIRED - DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED” but that’s exactly what he did

      It’s ok Baku. When the neighbour has come home, pick up the package, knock on the neighbour’s door and say “the postie left this at my door. I believe it belongs to you”. Hand the package over, turn and walk away. It’s good practice. No need for a conversation.

        I think he’s out at the moment, so I just walked over and left it at his door. It’s a safe neighbourhood, so there’s not really any risk of porch pirates. I did take a photo and left feedback on the Auspost website though

        I did also have a package coming today that was due at the same time, and after checking the tracking apparently meant to be delivered by the same bloke, but it hasn’t arrived yet and wasn’t at the neighbours door (I thought perhaps he mixed up the parcels), so now I’m wondering what the hell’s happened to it

          that looks pretty cool

          I’m always in awe of people who know how to use tech in ways to enhance performance rather than complicate.

    Felt like and sounded like a total zombie at work today from lack of sleep 💀 it is going at breakneck speed, normally a good challenge but the NEET cobwebs are hard to shake off. About to hit the melatonin and hope tomorrow brings more clear-mindedness.

    In good news, I have a serious lead elsewhere on other work for the other days… that is more aligned to my medium term goals and requirements than the other options available to me now. Let’s see what we can work out so both sides are happy and I don’t burn out this time. While also starting to refill my coffers 🤞
