    I brushed this boy’s teeth and lived to tell the tale, winning.

    Miss Meow managed to knock her toy completely upside down whilst flying past doing zoomies. Apparently being upside down makes it very interesting and mysterious again.

      Gibson does the exact same thing! She won’t acknowledge it’s existence until I turn it upside down and suddenly, new toy!

      Interesting idea. It has failed on the green version.

    Curious to see if this is a “me” thing or not. so does anyone else when they make a new mate become like low key obsessed for a bit? or not obsessed but like, the social anxiety just dial up a couple of notches? just for like the first couple of days of the proper mateship. Then it always settles down. Like every time your phone buzzes your like “Oh, I hope its X person”. and when they take a bit to reply you go “Oh, did I message them too many times? did I say something weird?” when you know they’re probs just busy.

      For sure man. I don’t really have family so friendships are really important to me. I defs get all in my head about it when I’m connecting with someone new

      I’m a slow boil. I’ll be interacting with someone for ages before I suddenly realise one day they’ve made the move from acquaintance to friend.

      So, no. For me it’s more a sudden realisation after a bit. I’m reminded somewhat of the way my wife and I started dating here.

    The cat has been real picky lately. Turned his nose up at his usual wet food, so I’ve been trying other brands/flavours.

    Seem to have settled on salmon paté, and will try the salmon in gravy later on.

    Finicky, picky little Mickey

      Sometimes Melbcat isn’t too excited about her wet food but will eat it with a meal topper of some cracker crumbs, or a couple of treats sprinkled on top.

      source
      • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁚5⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

        I have tried putting some treats on top, but he’s too smart and won’t have it lol.

        He’s been gobbling up the patĂ©, so I think that’s a winner for now.

    I had my covid booster yesterday. Free from Chemist Warehouse (probably lots of other places too), got an easy online booking within 48 hours, was straight in and out when I got there and the pharmacist was lovely. No side effects except a sore arm.

    Hospitalisations are rising again, get on it if you’re due for a jab (if it’s been more than 12 months).

    source
    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁚5⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      Ah thank you for the reminder; I’ll have to book a jab in so I don’t get it again lol.

      source
      • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁚5⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

        You might not need to get a jab because you recently caught covid.

        It think it was recommended that you get a booster 6 months after you catch covid.

      I’m always envious of those who get vaccinations without being knocked out for weeks.

        Last shot Boyo got he was deliriously singing little songs about dancing bbq prawns. Hilarious but actually concerning.

        Until covid I’ve never had any reactions beyond a sore arm and a mild headache. The Covid vax was so awful I have decided I can’t put myself through that again.

    I have a ton of crows in my back yard having some sort of cawing competition. Is this a sign of something? Should I be worried? I’ve also had a black cat cross my path


    source
    • tone212_@aussie.zone ⁚5⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      This has been happening at my place too sans the black cat sighting. They’re so loud as well. I don’t know what attracts them here.

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁚5⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

        The crows are definitely a rare event where I am, although the black cat is a regular occurrence. Usually she is trying to trip me up.

        There have also been a lot of cockies around lately, probably related to the liquidambar seeds everywhere. Maybe it’s some sort of bird war?

      Did the black cat walk under the ladder and break a mirror on the way through? If not, then I think you’re all good.

        She was being a bit suspicious in the vicinity of both my stepladder and a cracked mirror in my sewing room the other day, does that count?

    Clearance Kmart sketch kit arrived yesterday. The first thing I cracked into was the sandpaper sharpening board. It’s really small and the wooden backing is chipboard but it’s a vast improvement on trying to smooth/taper pencil leads with a pack of emery boards. (Doable but awkward and very easy to start honing at the wrong angle. They were previously all that was on hand and it was a hassle to buy sandpaper alone.)

    If anyone remembers an old tool song called Pushit and wants to hear a not bad version I did the other night, there’s the link.

    I used to perform singing and playing guitar for a couple of years when I got sober, but stopped singing and focused on guitar.

    Assignment done! 3 days and 2 hours overdue and it wasn’t my best work.

    But the most important thing is that it’s done, I should get some kind of grade for it that is a bit higher than a zero, and I’ll be getting feedback on it.

    Now onto studying for my exam.

    This week the man was nominated as worker of the month. So he spun the big wheel. Literally. And won a $50 card to spend. Question is do I spend it on food, beer or fuel?

    Work relationships are so complicated.

    My co-worker/superior spoke badly to someone I’m friends with and unfortunately also at the same time spoke for me.

    Had to go during my break to apologise for it all I suppose explain a few things and whatnot.

    Incident involved a really rudely delivered snappy comment about being busy but it came off really badly I felt.

    Anyway I don’t understand why she snapped like she did and I couldn’t explain it and often I see double standards about things.

    Just need to get through the rest of the day no trying to maintain the peace.

    Soooo when a road that people live on gets closed for roadworks, are they meant to like
 tell the people that live on it? Because the first I’m hearing of them ripping up and repaving our road is when they parked a gigantic machine in front of our driveway at 7am that’s making an absolute shit ton of noise. The housemate has a car that nobody told him he wouldn’t be able to take out of the driveway either

    I was wondering why I wake up in morning with a body battery of 10% and sometimes 90% (according to my watch) even though I get the same amount and quality of sleep.

    So I’m doing experiments and found it mainly comes down to night snacking. The more snacks and/or closer to bedtime equals lower body battery in the morning. No snacks equals higher body battery in the morning.

    Interesting. I will keep experimenting.
