I got the anxieties about starting work next week. I’m trying to reframe it as “excitement”, focus on the paycheck, work my wage, it will be gooooooood. I’m fine!
Try and refame it. Its not anxiety, its your body’s ignition sequence for something you’ve never done before or haven’t for a while.
That is w good way to reframe it! It’s just creating adrenaline in preparation!
yup, think of the rewards 😸
Not struggling to pay almost 2k in rent, a driver’s licence, I can buy name brand coffee again! The future is limitless
Prepare to be mega exhausted for a few weeks while you adjust. It will get better ☺️
Oh yeah for sure, I’m just gonna take it easy during the adjustment period!
Boyo and I nearly had our first fight because I was keen as hell to make a pasta bake which he was gungho about until I let him know it had mushrooms in it. I still made the dish, he had toasties for dinner. The pasta bake ruled, his loss, not gonna hold it against him no matter how much he protests “I swear I just wasn’t hungry!” (somehow you decided that 4 hours before dinner, 10 minutes after I let you know about the mushrooms. I don’t care, dude, I still had what I wanted)
He shoulda pulled the fucking mushrooms out and left them for his partner like a normal person.
miss seagoon has some food can’t eats and won’t eats
I don’t cook the can’t eats and always discuss ingredients
I want eating to be a happy thing
If I like something other people can’t or won’t have I make that for a lunch for myself . No drama and I don’t miss out.
Boyo hates salmon but occasionally I’m like SALMON IS LIFE and we make it work. This is a communication issue with a 30 second delay.
I can’t eat oily fish and can barely eat white fish, I cook a lot of fish because Mr Seagoon absolutely loves fish. It’s such an easy thing to do.
anyway, with pasta bakes if there are different likes just use small gratin bowls and make different ones, leaving out mushies or what ever in some of them. It takes nearly no effort.
Mushrooms are tricky. For me the flavour is fine but the texture vile. Sometimes eating around them works, others it doesn’t.
You warned, he declined. Don’t weaponise them.
Worse comes to worst, I have another 4 servings of a meal I found delicious and he made himself his dinner so I don’t mind!
🤷♀️
he couldn’t pick the mushies out?
Nope. And I get it, which is why I prewarned him because if he’d seen/smelt them… IDK, I guess I wish he’d just tried the dish. But I also understand why he didn’t and am glad I still had it because it was so delicious. Thank you again, Nagi!
Melbcat is good to go next week! I’m really hoping that everything goes well 🤞☘️
🤞 🤞 sending good healing vibes. go Melbcat
Send so many good vibes for you both and gentle head kisses for Melbcat!
so many hugs and kisses, it will go well 😸
Ouch! LittleOne was lying on my chest when the auto feeder triggered. Springbok feet to the throat. Thanks shithead
Oof! Mickey loves to sleep on my chest and then suddenly launch off my boobs at mach 5. It’s a unique sort of love but I take what I can get from the apex predator with a Napoleon complex 😂
claw in the belly button in lift off is a special touch
WhiteBoy used to wake me with a delicate claw to the nostril.
Ooh i got a top one: Cerys once literally ripped my left nipple in half from a chest launch.
Bonus points: she was a teenager / still semi kitten with the kitten razor feet
Fucking ouch! I’ve a hand scar from same cat superman launching himself at me in search of hugs. Adorable rotters.
Went for a walk. Perfect walking temperature and a nice breeze.
I’m loving these cool breezes
Running to the library to print things, and I’m remembering why I don’t run
Geez. The great ocean road hogged all the rain and we got none. I don’t think the outcome is good for either party.
the deforestation hasn’t helped none either
That’s been a wild turn of events today!
Fuggit. I am not cooking tonight. Fish n chips here I come.
Urgh, car wants my money. Rear main seal and brake master cylinder. Probably do the clutch while the gearbox is off too. It’s like half the value of the car.
The Ugreen charger has arrived. It has been named Bernie after the robot from Wall-e due to its mild resemblance and we need to explain to the kids it doesn’t made sounds or actually do anything.
It’s also smaller than I expected but it makes sense, it is a charger after all
Looks like my request for clarification of responsibilities worked!
I have leads to follow and quoting to do!
Nothing better than actually knowing what you’re supposed to be doing at work
I talked so much at work today I have a sore throat. Accidentally lay down on the bed when I got home and now I am stuck…must…make…dinner…
Lawyer consulted. I do believe a DIY solution will be taken. Fee schedule is absurd.
If you are well organised and patient many legal tasks can be DIY.
Agreed. The basic issue is enforceable. Since this is a hopefully never need, I think we’ve got a solution.
I know I said this recently but… Man, Arrested Development (talking about the group here, but the show is good too) is still so good. Same vibes, grooves, 90s feel - new albums sound fresh though somehow… Also reminded me of that 8tracks mixtape app. So I went to reinstall, and it’s gone…it was so good…
Looked it up, and…Citing difficulties with funding and maintaining royalty payments, 8tracks ceased its services on 31 December 2019.[5] However, on 19 April 2020, 8tracks was relaunched under the new ownership and operation of BackBeat Inc. As of December 2024, the service is inactive.
I’m disappointed.
Edit - groove just hit peak level…
2 minutes into this track. The fade out is just sublime. Have a listen https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=fqTDh1kvOi4
So so good

Except that Mister S story line. What the complete and utter fuck were they thinking
No one has noticed my fashion faux pas of black trousers with a blue shirt. Do I keep working here because I can get away with such crimes, or do I move on because I can’t possibly work with animals such as these?
Keep working there because they noticed, but they’re polite 😉
They’re talking behind your back.
I knew they were talking behind my back, just like I know everyone’s saying I’m paranoid
Don’t forget that as soon as you look away from someone, they’re staring at you and picking out the flaws.
Such is.
Hey depending on the shade of blue and the intensity of the black, it can look ok. You probably look alright!
They’re slightly faded black trousers so it almost looks like a dark navy. Not as bad as black leather boots with jeans instead of brown boots
I have no idea what’s wrong with this combination. Looks good to me.
Once you have a suit guy educate you on good drip it’s hard to unsee
Hardly a crime at all compared to pink shirts
Maybe a pink shirt on its own but dark blue jacket with pink shirt underneath is peak male look. I have a Suit Guy in Fairfield that advised me as such
Noooooo! They just look like you don’t know how to laundry. My petty Hill.
Damn that red t-shirt.
