Just back from dinner with the guy who organises the local Meetup dining group.
I’d dropped into the conversation when he invited me to a cafe that I wasn’t looking for a relationship right now, just to lay it on the table, then after some messaging that was pushing the boundaries and some blatantly flirtatious behaviour in front of others I had to have a stern talk of the You’re Making Me Uncomfortable Back Off variety.
So he walked me home, came in briefly to meet the cats and then I drove him home making it plain that I was just going to drop him home and run.
So what does he do? Ask me to stay the night!
Firstly NO, secondly I’ve never left the cats alone overnight and I’m not going to start now, thirdly I Told You I’m Not Interested Several Times Jesus Christ. - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🧦🐈⬛🧦🐈⬛ Friday, October 4 , 2024 4 weeks ago:

Opened the front door to let some air in.
Neighbours across the way have done likewise.
Discovered Sammi and their car having a stare at each other through our respective security doors. 😂 - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🛣️🏍️ Thursday, October 3 , 2024 4 weeks ago:
Anyone following the Collins St Falcons - the babies are hatching!
Mama birb’s bum is firmly on them, but #2 hatched about 40 minutes ago. - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🥃 🌶️🥃🌶️ Wednesday, October 2 , 2024 4 weeks ago:
Went out to dinner tonight.
You could see everyone’s, social battery run out at 8:30 on the dot. One guy literally got up and left.
I know we’re all of a certain age, but still… - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🍲 Tuesday, October 1 , 2024 5 weeks ago:

As an ME/CFS long hauler, I speak from my own experience in strongly suspecting that with that amount of brain fog, if you went down the local you’d be hiding in the loo to get away from the noise by the first goal.
Better to stay home and enjoy than go out and not enjoy. - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: ⛹️♂️ Saturday, September 28, 2024 5 weeks ago:

Ha, that was funny - was cooking dinner and due to the cats deciding that they wanted food Right Now and me trying to cook, feed them and not trip on them simultaneously, I grabbed and used the 1/3 cup measure instead of the tablespoon one. Turned out delicious, though, so no complaints in the end.

Did a beach walk and tried a cafe which matched the online reviews (the odd one hasn’t).
Now on the third load of washing and doing a bit of sorting in the spare/office room. - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🐈🎣 🧌 Friday, September 27, 2024 5 weeks ago:

So I was cleaning my teeth when I heard this odd sound of water glugging in the shower.
Turn around to see Zooks with her fluffy bum hovering over the drain, pissing down it.
Saves on the scooping, I suppose… - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🥰🐇🐰 Tuesday, September 24, 2024 1 month ago:
Morning all!
So does Sammi want chicken breast cut up into pieces by my own fair hands?
No, she wants Aldi pouch food. 🤦🏻♀️ - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🐶🧅 Saturday, September 21, 2024 1 month ago:
After yesterday’s drama I’m just going to putter and chill.

Exactly what StudSpud said, though in this case it was a little older and with health issues. And it did look like I was at least under suspicion.
Anyway apology has been extended and an Uber eats voucher has been sent, so that’s something.
I was going out for dumplings tonight, so now I can go and enjoy myself rather than try and distract myself! - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🐈📦 Friday, September 20, 2024 1 month ago:
I did! I did want to join the UWU for a number of reasons but the guy I spoke to said they wouldn’t take me on with a pre existing situation so I went for the HWU… we’ll see how it works out.
Thank you - contemplating a nice beach walk and a cakey thing, and tonight is dumplings! 😁 - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🐈📦 Friday, September 20, 2024 1 month ago:
Exactly to all. I forget who said “I’m utterly and abjectly pissed off” but it summed up my state of mind!

Good news! Just got a phone call from work, the client found the missing $$$ (and from the sound of it it was $$$) so that’s a relief to say the least. Change in the attitude of the carer lead was… a thing. But a cordial conversation was had and she’s taken me off that client, so all well there.
I’d put in an application to join a union this morning and I’ll keep on with it, as knowing aged care odds are that Something Will Happen.
But now I can do dinner tonight and really enjoy it, not just try and use it as a distraction! - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🚂 🍰🚂🍰🚂 Thursday, September 19, 2024 1 month ago:
Yipes - got a phone call on my break between clients - major shit has gone down at work.
Better not say too much even semi-anonymously, but it’s time-to-join-the-union-and-get-representation shit.
I see many phone calls in my future… - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🎄 Wednesday, September 18, 2024 1 month ago:

Just filled the green bin with the grass that’s sprouted in the flower beds, and haven’t even touched the back section around the lemon tree or the front.

Joining the Odd Sleep club - kept on stirring awake every hour or so, with weird dreams the last couple of times.
The one that did me in the end was dreaming I went to a once off client (I work in aged care) and first of all the car wouldn’t move and I was somehow blocking both lanes, then when I got there the client thought he was having heart problems and we agreed we’d wait and see what happened and yeah, if he wanted to finish his electronics project go for it, it’d soothe him whereas I know damned well from first aid training and personal experience that when in doubt you Call The Fucking Ambulance. So basically I couldn’t get back to sleep for going WTAF, plus the cats both using my shoulders as pillows.
Eventually got up and turned on the heater because my face was freezing - took a while for the cats to figure it out but now Zooks is on my lap on the couch. Sammi is probably being a mini-potat in the bed - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🏠 🐈⬛🐈⬛ Saturday, September 14, 2024 1 month ago:
Work up way too early and couldn’t get back to sleep so put on my big girl pants and went out to do the errands.
Aldi run done, cat litter and replacement gas cylinder for the soda King bought, replacement water jug filters and one of the Kmart Stanley mugs bought since I damaged the other one. Also filled up the car at the cheap petrol place on Kingston road.
Now back home and snuggled up with Sammi. Hoping to get a nap in but one of the neighbors has just started hammering so… - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🌞🌧️🌨️🌞 Thursday, September 12, 2024 1 month ago:
Just back from the vet - very happy with Sammi, they don’t think she needs any more shots for now, I just need to keep an eye on her and contact them if anything changes.
Also Zooki’s ears are fine, so no more drops. Thank Christ. - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🐕🐎 Wednesday, September 11, 2024 1 month ago:
Sodding Amazon misdelivered my pakidge - looks like they just dropped it at the nearest unit doorway, despite mine being one unit down and opposite and very clearly labelled. And of course it was the one doorstep I missed on the recce before I had to pick up the papou.
Bang go any thoughts of me getting Amazon Prime if that’s the standard of service I can expect in this neck of the woods.
