  Put a cat to sleep yesterday. Feel like I’m being a massive fuckoff inconvenience for booking in some annual for the next couple days, yet I know it’ll be worse if I go in.

  Not sure what the point of this comment was, but fuck it, sometimes you’ve gotta vent.

    So sorry to hear that. Lots of hugs. Good on you for taking the time.

    You just lost a member of your family. Take time off to grieve and vent all you need to

    source
  • Eagle@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s the hardest decision to make. Vent away, we understand. And take the days off too. Grief is not limited to losing human friends and family, these furry buggers are more family than my blood relatives.

    Take the time off without guilt, the loss and grief are not small things even if others might think it shouldn’t matter. It’s better to give yourself the time and space than to force yourself through. Condolences for your loss.

    Oh I’m so sorry - it’s just the hardest thing to do. We had to do that a while back and it was just awful. Kept expecting her to pop up around the house for ages afterwards.

  Today saw a person wearing an oodie in Kmart, and someone in pyjamas in the supermarket. I think we have all collectively decided fuckit, it’s too cold.

• Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I start work Tuesday (for some unknown reason).

  Tomorrow it’s haircut/beard trim, meal prep, shopping and playing with fluffybutt because it’s going to be weird being away from the house for approx 11 hours a day.

  By 8pm tonight I was ready for bed. So I thing my sleep clock is back to normal.

  Goodnight all ❤️

    It’s good to start with a short week. So much new stuff to learn, and new faces, and where everything is. You’ll be wrecked by Friday.

  So much for plans for the day. Boyo regretting decisions to drink much rocket fuel punch, then eat special brownies and pavement. Colourful words and contusions.

  Still out in the CBD. Crazy my MIL and I are so similar. I wish she was my mum, she’s put in the work to turn herself around, while having cptsd. A true inspiration to me.

  I love her so much. She’s just such an amazing person. I feel so blessed by the universe, after 28 years of shit, to have these people in my life.

    oh nononono not until tuesday. You’ll just tear it all up with how wet everything is

    source

    • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It will have rained again by then, but I approve of the sentiment. Did air out the house during the brief burst of sunshine, so that will be my maintenance for this weekend.

      source
• RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I have a tomato plant against a wall I was hoping would survive over winter and maybe give some early fruit next year. Not only is it surviving, it has actually produced a tomato! I don’t expect it to ripen in this weather, but it definitely bodes well for the early summer fruit plan.

  source

  • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I have one of those too. Don’t know what the confused thing is doing.

    source
  • wscholermann@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    If the temperature indoors is reasonably constant and doesn’t get too cold indoor plans can do alright in winter. I have a Ti Plant for instance that’s starting to flower.

    source
  • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I too have a confused one. Still flowering and fruiting. Very odd.

    source
• Cendana@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  So we finally have a bedroom door. (previous apartment didn’t have one)

  Except we can’t close it.

  The balls of fur totalling 15kg would scream at the door to be let in, once let in, they would park themselves on my wife and I, one on her side, one on top in between us, one on my side - trapping us in place.

  source

  • Taleya@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    We just got an expanda rod and hung a curtain

    source

    • Cendana@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      In our case it would be promptly pulled down, or if it manages to hold the weight, have holes all over them and scaled.

  That might be a level of clickbait way too far. In fact I’d say it’s just “lying”

    The ABC has had issues with its reporting for a while now unfortunately.

    source

    • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Unfortunately true. You can’t keep hollowing out the abc and still expect high quality results for ever.

    That’s wild. I expect better from ABC

    Wasn’t it just a borked update that got rolled out all at once and on a Friday?

      Yes. Thursday night though not friday.

  Eating at a sandwich place outside. This person is standing “away” from the eating area to have her cigarette, but the wind is blowing the smoke smell right where I’m eating. Gross.

  The sandwich was A+ though, so satisfied.

  source

  • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    So disrespectful 😑 I smoke (on and off, quitting is hard 😭) and tend to walk away if I want a smoke. As in, waaaay away. Around a corner, in an unoccupied alley. If I’m walking in a group, I’ll walk behind everyone so they’re not walking in my smoke (wind dependant). And it’s wild people don’t care about wind direction, it’s not hard to stay downwind of the public. If there’s no bins, I flick the butt out and put it in a small bag within my bag, I never litter them. Or slap a nicotine patch on and wait until you’re home/take some gum.

    Shameful behaviour, makes the rest of us addicts look real bad lol

  My nose and throat feel like someone has taken to them with a scrubbing brush. And so much snot. But I have changed out of PJs (into trackies and oodie). Working up to a walk outside in the sun

  source
• just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Felt like the pits at 7:30am but a bit more sleep, water, Nurofen and sweating it out and I am getting better again. The sun is absolutely helping. It’s an automatic immune booster.

  Airing the house out to clear the cloud of sickly miasma that’s built up over the week. Chugging so much liquid. Please let this be the beginning of the end, I can’t take any more of the coughing and sinus headaches. Was coughing to the point of almost throwing up yesterday. My neighbours must hate me 😬

  Heading home today from my house and dog sitting duties. I thought I was going to be back in a few months for longer but it seems like my parents are going to cancel their upcoming Vegas trip.

  This does open the door of possibility for me… I could go somewhere. I shall ponder. Ponder I shall.

  For a sick day it was reasonably productive. Had a walk in the sun. Picked some some anti-snot drugs. Did a tidy up of the lounge room and about to clean off the kitchen bench. And watched more of Swedish death cleaning.

  Braved Aldi this afternoon as the cats have suddenly decided they don’t want cat food anymore, they want chicken and (sometimes) mince. I also got them pet roo stuff… We shall see.
  Forgot the bloody stock cubes but did remember the ingredients for red wine and mushroom risotto, so with that one I can use Vegemite as it turns out brownish anyway.
  Anyway Zooks greeted her chicken with loud purrs, so I’m good there!
