Just put down a deposit for a wood heater for the living room.
I cannot wait for winter with a roaring fire and scary movies.

Coffee in front of a fireplace is one of lifes simple treasures. even just sitting and watching a roaring fire on a cold night.
Reading too. Less screen time is one of my goals for 2024.
Lovely sunrise, hot air ballons over Carlton, biridies are up and cheeping, Bill and Ted are patiently waiting for breakfast.
I miss the Young Seagoons already. They fill the house with so much love and joy π
Some dude on the escalator at Spencer Street just farted in my face. Pure, unadulterated methane right on my inhale.
I feel sick π€’
light it up
I had a lighter, no idea why I didn't think of that lol N E X T T I M E
Especially with the price of methane these days, what a waste.

This is getting repetitive now.

Marketplace win: this item is not available!!
Miss Meow's unused climbing poles should also be heading off soon to be destroyed by another cat that really enjoys scratching them to pieces.
Edit: cat poles now also gone, yay!
Up at 6am for the βcat trying to puke on carpet sprint to the tiled floorβ. Grrr
Urk. That pumping sound they make π€’
Definitely feeling the mileage today. And that's without taking one of the clients to Oakleigh for escorted shopping. π.
In other news, the cops asked me yesterday if I had a spare key so they didn't have to call in a locksmith, so I took it down to where the car's being held and had a chance to look at it - it looks fine from the outside aside from missing number plates. They've taken a few things that were inside the car including the bluetooth thingy, but I couldn't tell if the radio was still there.
Just gotta wait for forensics to go over it, and then the insurance company will get it and go over it, and then all being well I get it back!

I'm so tired and I still have two days of work ππ±π΅π
aww
Doing my best to stay out of this "doctor killed in home invasion" and "Old man pushed into water" stories. Not doing a good job, I admit... but man what is going on here lately?! Be interesting to see how this plays out politically. Andrews would've already called a presser, announced another well-meaning-but-ultimately-useless-taskforce. If Libs had half a brain cell to share between them they'd be attacking the Allan government on being soft, and I hate to say it but that'd be a pretty easy picture to paint at the moment.
It's not the government though? It's a judicial issue.
Correct. But government write the laws. They invest or ignore public housing or rehabilitation programs, drug policies. edit: Also need to point out that facts have not baring on a channel 7 "special "investigation""

I find it depressing. Yeah I know they are young, but there are zero real consequences for their actions, the kids are probably laughing and boasting of their horrific acts thinking they are top shit. Itβll be a slap on the wrist, released on bail and free to go do some more pushing off piers, bashing, robbing, murdering. Our government has decided this is acceptable because itβs not happening in their own back yards, so thereβs no plans for rehab programs, penalties, interventions etc. Itβs awful.
Melbourne/Australia just seems to be getting more feral.
Edit: Cripes, now Iβve seen about the tent cities and shipping containers being rented out with single beds inside. Itβs fucked
-34 minutes from smoke detector personβs eta. Will they make their 2 hour window or will I chuck a tanty and put the chain on the door?

I donβt want to get up and start workβ¦
I have successfully completed two tasks today that required phone calls. I am really terrible at those - I'm not sure if it's because I will take any excuse to delay a phone call or because the times I like to sit down and do organisation type stuff generally fall outside of business hours.
Last night was a rough one. I got up to pee, then once I got back to sleep Melbcat stood on my locked but open laptop to restart a loud video. I settled her but a while later she was sick on the carpet, then she was fussy and got me up to sort her biscuits out a few times. I slept in stretches.
This morning she was straining for a little pee so I need to try and get a sample or sort a lift to the vet :(

Sent the REA a pet request form earlier this week. Can they say no? How long do I wait before I chase up on my application?
In addition to the other responses, they have two weeks to respond, no response by 2 weeks = can keep pet.
iirc, REs/owners can't deny the request unless they can prove to vcat they have a good reason.
"Renters who want to have a pet in the property must ask their rental provider (landlord) for permission. Rental providers must have a good reason to refuse the renterβs request. Rental providers can apply to VCAT for an order to refuse permission."

Ugh, I'm just wiped. I haven't been consuming the best food for a few weeks and it's starting to rear its ugly head. Gyah. Sads.
I just want the microwave from 5th Element. I feel this would partially solve my problems. Hehe.
chicken. Good.
Meeting. Bored
Damn I just finished the last of all 1800 mahjong games in my mahjong games app. Now I have no more mahjong games to play.
Another day, another decal. This one is a bit hidden in the corner of the entrance.

Trying 4 cookies. Banana Oat, Banana Cocoa Oat, Banana Blueberry Oat and Banana Cocoa Blueberry oat. Bit worried about the blueberry/choc one...
edit: Yeah.... no. No. Less said about all 4 of 'em the better.
Well of course, anything banana goes straight to the bin
I'm nearly better, I no longer feel like crying from pain and can sleep a bit better. Have seen so much tv π
I watched Painkillers, about oxycontin. The series is just like watching Narcos but with no shoot outs.
They could have used "Tuyo" ( the narcos theme ) as the theme tune for the sackler family

Cat pee talk
Melbcat hates the special beads so I got the urine sample by sprinkling a handful of the usual litter pellets into all the freshly washed trays - just enough for her to feel it under her feet, but so little that the pee pooled on the plastic.
I hope they accept it in a small new plastic container and gathered with an old but washed and boiled syringe. Kind of got caught short on supplies here. Iβll ring and ask, see if I can drop it off tomorrow morning.
Itβs annoying that it happened after closing time because being refrigerated might create crystals and maybe make it less good for analysis
Melbcat is lucky to have someone who attends to the details like you π«
