I was half an hour late lol
hey fluffy guys 👋👋👋
you deserve all the kudos 🙂
Power is back on? Yes! What a relief.
I wish I had the energy to sort out more battery powered stuff and physical media for these times just to take the edge off. It’s never hugely long and not frequent but it really gets to me.
I still haven’t fixed the solar panel/car battery combo and at this point it’s unlikely I’ll be able to sort it out >.<
Candles.
I have candles but am very wary of open flames. Even with safeguards I don’t trust them an inch
If you want to go down the battery path these basic lanterns are great. They run on 4xAAA batteries, last for ages, and give lots of light.
Thanks, looks decent
Rechargeable battery packs have been a godsend for me.
If I know ahead of time I’ll get everything ready.
I have a dolphin light which is pretty powerful and bright just incase as well if you’re candle adverse.
kmart have little LED globes for 2 bucks, Runs off AA batteries. Get some rechargeable batteries and you are laughing. Ikea ones are pretty cheap and great.
Good idea, might grab some
It’s funny with how cold it’s been these past few nights, that tonight’s 14.6°C (BoM) feel warm and spring-like lol
aww, he looks all sleepy
Smiley boy
Ugh. Accidentally napped, and woke up quite late for Melbcat’s meds.
Cat tmi
She’s still been crying and desperately ran away after using the litterbox today so I think her uti is still causing pain. When it should be settling? She’s constipated too.
Already been to the vet on Tuesday to try and find out what the pain is but now I think it’s that.
I’ve given the extra pain relief on top of her usual and might have to just give it more routinely instead of waiting for the need. Making my alarms louder so I actually hear them.
I need to find where that Cystapro stuff is - it’s bright red and tastes terrible but maybe right now it could give some relief. I’ve given her a hot water bottle to lie on while I look.
I also mixed a little Osmolax into her wet food with extra water plus pumpkin baby food and might keep that up until things improve.
Edit: That is so weird. I can’t find the Cystapro capsules. I did stop using it but don’t remember throwing them away
I am slowly working my way through the Discworld books using my Spotify audiobook hours. About halfway through the new(ish) penguin audio versions and I am starting to get the hype. My eyes get sore after a day on the computer and it’s a nice way to drift off.
An hour early for my Drs appointment, but it’s better than being late 😂
Snacks and fruits make the insomnia less shitty. Slightly.
Polystyrene has now been disposed of, and I stopped in for some more packing materials on the way back. Oh, alright, it was actually the craft resource rescue place, and the packing materials are mostly bits of fabric etc., but close enough! I also grabbed a couple of rectangular tins with hinged lids which were some sort of promotional hair care thing, but will be great little rubbish bins for the bathrooms. I had plans for a big coffee tin, but these will work better - I might even cover them with the wallpaper I found.
Can my period, like, just fkn stop. STAHP!
hugs
Drugs, cat hugs, & pho
Just heard this banger on the wireless
That’s a blast from the past
Instantly made me think of

and you can definitely see the progression in graphics fidelity over the years!
Such a banger.
Yessss
Man, I think I caught a bit of whatever’s going around. No respiratory issues whatsoever, don’t think I even have a fever but the headache came back with a vengeance and I’ve been so fatigued with so little appetite that I only got out of bed for the first time at 9:30 PM - yes, PM, nearly 24 hrs straight in bed - to pee (an unholy dark liquid) and eat and drink something. Feel full after a couple of bites although my stomach is making all the food noises. Managed to keep down dinner, took two Nurofen with an antacid, back in bed and I hope to HELL that I’ll feel better tomorrow.
I have found that sleep is the best cure for this cold
hugs and get well soon 😘
Very helpful cat
@[email protected] have you seen the new CBM GF drop?
I really like how this puzzle is not the usual dimensions.
( I’d do the horizon after the edges, then the tree line, then sort top and bottom )
So do I. It’s aGraembe Base. I might keep it.
Nice. 🙂
CBM GF drop ?? what’s CBM? (though I am so tired I read that as CMB (cosmic microwave background) and was momentarily very confused
Cheaper by Miles. Did I disremember your interest in such goods?
oooh CBM cheaper by miles - NO but that’s saturday morning shopping sorted :-)
Yay!
My sister’s cat does this. And about half the pieces end up with little tooth mark deckles around the edges. Has been known to stash random pieces in his bed. I think he likes the taste of the glue.
Oh I don’t glue. I either give them away or stash for enough years they are new again
I was referring to the glue that holds the cardstock together to the picture - not the glue that people use to frame a jigsaw.
no glue!
Helpful Cat is pointing out where the missing piece goes
If he could point out where that one is in the sort pile…
He’s sitting on it.
godam sniffy sneezy cold, I’m so bloody tired
Hope you’re feeling better, too!
Unwell and wfh (somewhat) today, but got distracted by a house restoration show and have gone down a snoopy real estate rabbit hole
The kid has something and I think I now have something too. Still gonna get pissed tomorrow night.
and you too
Thanks. Mines a niggle at the moment.
Fingers crossed it doesn’t get worse. I reckon the alcohol will kill it, anyway
Ummm…yeah.
That’s my excuse for wine atm, lol… it’s taken my mind off it at least
get well soon
Thanks :-)
I’m feeling ok, mainly just sorry for myself now, lol. And I got to do some voyeristic pretendy-spendy on realestate I can’t afford
I haven’t had a bougie bath in a very long time. Aunt’s bath is really nice (resort sort of nice) so I had to tonight was a long day. Lush. Lit the candles, lights off. i’m not really into that that sort of thing but yea… nice.
Last time I used that thing was when I chucked hambam in for a bath when he was covered in mud / fuck knows what else.
Tonight was my night though.
