Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Today has been a rough one. Melbcat guarded me while I sat in the shower and then curled up in my dressing gown with me to share a nap.
I don’t understand how people think cats are cold or aloof
Hugs. I have never known cats to be aloof, they are just picky in wh they care for
brain stuck, not sure what to do
think I'll just put a few things away, put away another load of clean washing and do the rest of the dishes
Back neighbours’ party has been going since before the GF started. They’ve descended into drunken scream singing, add some screaming kids to the mix, it’s so loud. Got my massive speaker going to drown them out.
I need to throw my own loud revenge party.
SORRY BOUT THAT. I DO LOVE A SING ALONG.
Pizza in oven. Beer in hand..planning to watch the game here at home and maybe potter around cleaning in between quarters.
I did want to go down to the local for the atmosphere but damn I am in pretty urgent need of introvert time. Went out this morning and managed to lose my favourite shopping bags on the bus among other brainfog disasters. Internet friends could someone tell me that's ok to stay here on my own and it doesn't make me a loser?
You are not a loser at all! I dislike going to the pub for GF, too loud, too many people, too chaotic. Then it gets rowdy.
It is acceptable and 100% reasonable and okay to stay home!!
I think it's fine to watch from home. I don't really understand the appeal of going to watch the game somewhere unless you're meeting people there.
Enjoy the comfort of your own home and the ability to do things for yourself whilst there
Thanks. It's sunny and quiet here
I’m doing alone time as well.
Busy week coming up, so I’m introverting in advance knowing that it’s not going to stop for about the next eight days once it starts. I feel okay with this
it's cool to watch the game and chill at home in your own way ,
verdict; not a loser
I was invited to a house party but have chosen to stay home with the dog and do washing and I'm not a loser so neither are you.
I'm sad about your bags. I've had that happen to me and I cried.
Oh I am devastated! That's the problem with not being a shopaholic. Everything I own is special.
Thanks mate. Just had a moment of mind worms. All good now
It is more than perfectly ok to stay and watch the game alone.
Nothing about it makes you a loser.
Im doing the same thing as I’ve done most years and I’m perfectly happy doing it.
Just enjoy yourself and the peace and quiet or if you barrack for them scream as loud as you want.
It’s your right to do so and not to feel bad about it.
Do not feel bad because there’s nothing wrong with doing it!
You're the only one who gives a shit so you do you
I'll be home alone and I have no bad feelings about it at all

a rant about insecurities
I need to block a subreddit, because I feel called out lol. r/crappymusic, because the commenters just hate when people express themselves. Humans make music, idk what makes it crappy. I don't make music of course, but I write, and I feel all my insecurities are heightened when I see those negative jerks shitting on people enjoying themselves on stage.
Idk, I was considering putting some of my poetry to music or a beat, and maybe consider doing like, beat poetry - because I so desperately admire the people who do that - but I feel so stupid even considering it when I'm afraid of being utterly rejected.
I suppose I need to work on my confidence and forget what people may think, but it's hard to let go of all the voices that tell me that I'm already a failure.
I probably just need to delete fucking Reddit too sigh
I reckon Reddit works if you're very purposeful in your curation. My feed is mostly cats, book discussions and recommendations, crochet, and so on. Fuck the mean people, seek out the nice spaces.
Your work sounds amazing. Have you checked out Australian Poetry Slam? That could be a way in with supportive, like-minded people.
Join the delete Reddit squad (but still add Reddit at the end of almost every Google search)!
What makes music crappy anyway? At my work, they played a live version of a Foo Fighters song over the speakers and a customer said it sounded terrible. But the crowd went wild! It's all about taste at the end of the day.
You've got this! Go out there and express yourself, and most importantly, have fun. That's the main bit. You are HOTTOGO!! <3
I hate it when I'm buying something and don't realise it's in US dollars until checkout and I have to re-evaluate the value of everything I'm buying.
Home now and hungry as. My aunt lovingly packed some leftovers for me but I definitely need more. Maybe with the money I saved on uber (and not touching on...) I could indulge in takeaway... or maybe not, I'll have that as an option for tomorrow instead. I could throw in some air fried frozen fish to bulk out tonight's meal instead. Tonight is time to just blob out and watch TV and relax, tomorrow I have to get back on the academic horse.
🤘represent for eating left overs from the freezer. Tonight it's defrosted chicken vegie curry, tomorrow defrosted curry laksa
and welcome home 😘
I feel like at some point Australia has become a very soulless country of paying off a mortgage and that's about it.
I think we have regressed to pre WWII society. We have lost manufacturing industry , wages are again very low, education is again very costly, medical care is becoming out of reach for many and benefits are starvation rates
I agree. And if you’re not in the strata of being able to get a mortgage it’s pretty grim
You’re an inspiration…
Eating a mysterious indeterminate purple icypole. What flavour is this?
Apologies to all football fans, I may have made a comment around the end of the first quarter about it being good to have a close match, which was apparently the Swans' cue to completely stop trying.
I was pleased with the symmetry of the scores though, with the Lions' goals and points both being exactly double the Swans, also everything being a multiple of three suits my numerical preferences.
Saw it in 22. It came back today for a repeat.
🍻
Had a radox bath last night but the liquid stuff. Turned into a bubble bath which I didn't think would happen. last time I had one of those I would've been 5yo or so. 10/10. Now in the market for some little yellow rubber ducks to round out the experience.
My neighbour started his Harley at 6am this morning. It’s like starting a chainsaw at that time - you don’t do it. Took me a while to fall back asleep and now I’m tired and grumpy. I’m up and sitting in the sun to get this bad mood out of me.
What a beautiful day. Finally feel like spring is here properly.
$8 for a soy cappuccino, well fuck you too Perth airport. But I'm the sucker who paid it so can't complain can I.
Developed a bit of a sore throat after talking myself hoarse to a friend yesterday, I shall be drowning it in the requisite throat lozenges + meds + hot water and honey when I get back because I'll be fucked if I get the flu again...
Went out for some sun before the game starts.
I returned with
- new hot sauce. This makes four distinct varieties currently in my pantry
- new tea. Eighteen distinct varieties
- vanilla choc top to counter the effects of the hot sauce tasting session
Just landed on the tarmac but I have checked bags to wait for as well... Likelihood of avoiding footy crowds if I take the Skybus and tram seems low if the game'll be over by 5...
E: uber too pricey, gonna take my chances with PT, wish me luck 🙃
E2: exiting the cbd... scattering of glum-looking folks around with red and white scarves...
E3: forgot the 48 stops right out the MCG, here comes a tramload of sad Swans supporters, at least it means it's unlikely there'll be inspectors coming on board!
Hooked on this song. Soon as I heard it last week I could t stop listening.
Wow Sydney.
I think I know where the Colliwobbles went. Grundy must have taken them with him
