I am currently taking my break away in another team’s work room since I seemingly cant take breaks at my own desk.

Been gifted a Lindt chocolate ball by a kind resident team member.

Shame though that I’ll only have my phone to enter myself but better than nothing.

Going to try and chill quietly and alone today with my coffee.

Things could be tense for awhile since the altercation this morning that I had with my co worker.

first? hmm.

The boys were fascinated by a remote control car last weekend so I think it’s time for me to break out mine.

I hope they don’t mind I don’t have a truck. I’m a ‘serious’ remote control car enthusiast that goes for cars and buggies.

omg, my allergies are driving me crazy, so itchy everywhere

watched the trailer for the final Grand Tour special and I’m already crying. I dont know if I’m gonna be able to get through it.

Ok, after an hour’s lie down I’ve recovered a bit and making myself go in to watch the film. I likely won’t have the opportunity to watch it anywhere else, and it’s good to expand one’s horizons and get out of one’s head. Especially prior to a holed-up weekend of reading and rewriting (as now my proposal is somewhat different)… Wearing a mask to at least slightly reduce the chance of getting some new shitty infection. Can’t afford that this weekend!

Gonna fuck around and set up my gaming PC again to try Deadlock. Gave away my monitor, chair and desk, so gonna be an interesting setup for the time being.

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening.

Dumpling review:
Good flavour - these were pork and ginger. Texture was lacking, but I blame my own cooking. I ended up kind of… Shallow boiling them, draining the water, then putting them pack on with a little butter (I don’t really use oil). Let the remaining moisture evaporate as best it could and stirred em around a bit. Finished with soy sauce and la gan mao chilli crisp. Also had broccolini. They came out quite soft and tacky? Still good though.

Let it out…RIP Mr Bradley

Cultures not back yet. One vet was willing to give Melbcat the stronger pain meds but another has decided against it, so the compromise was giving an extra dose of her existing medication.

They’re saying results will probably be in on Tuesday so baby girl will be going the weekend without antibiotics and only pain relief. She’s got fussy and peed on stuff tonight so I gave her the last dose of the strong stuff.

She will no longer eat wet food if it has extra water so maybe I can try some tuna juice or weak allium free broth.

Since seeing Deadpool wolverine recently, fam wanted to watch all the X-Men movies. We started two weeks ago and have made it to Logan.

Haven’t seen it since 2018 and remember crying at the end.

Looks like those feels are gonna come back tonight.

On the bright side we’ll be watching the first Deadpool flick tomorrow so that’ll alleviate the sads

Still here: they were running behind because of an emergency.
Nothing obvious but they’re concerned that she’s dropped half a kilo since her last visit. Waiting on some blood results as I type.

Back home - blood tests showed nothing abnormal except for higher thyroid which is unusual in a senior cat. They gave us some fluids and that seems to have helped - when I got her home she went straight for the old food that Zooks hadn’t finished and then scarfed down the fresh stuff I gave her three mouthfuls at a time - didn’t finish it all but spread over three saucers probably a full saucer. So fingers crossed.

Whatever youse are doing tonight have a good time ok.

Just keeping the numbers up because I love a competition.
