Party preparations have begun

Party preparations have begun

Unfucking things that are now fucked, that you tried to keep unfucked, is fucked.
It's only 8:15am :(
Advanced Tribbles?

A Canadian celebration breakfast put on by young Mr Seagoon , we had pancakes and maples syrup and fresh coffee. Tonight it will ne Canadian mac n cheese. With crumbled crisps baked on top. It's a Canadian thing.
Then a walk n on the dog beach with Miss Seagoon and Bear the Irish terrier. I picked up ten new kinds of shells.
here is Miss Seagoon and Bear

then shopping in the city, a quick bite and we went to Clock museum, which was a weird place.
Now home for a few days while the big storm blows through.๐
I love the young Seagoons so much ๐ฅน
What a wholesome day, I am so happy that you're getting this time with them. What made the clock museum weird?
Enjoy the downtime!
Naw. They love you too!
Can you please please please try the Bluff oysters and get back to us.
Got an invite to weekly catchup with operations manager.
The deal is sealed ๐๐๐
There's cracks in the foundations of my mind
Now every structure is compromised
And I lie and say I'm alright
But my can of worms has snakes inside
So I keep the lid closed
And seal my lips so
So my loved ones do not know
I'll be the keeper of their happiness
And prolong their blissful ignorance
Of the cracks in the foundations of my mind
Thereโs a crack in everything
Itโs where the light gets in
โฅ๏ธ oof I know this
I couldn't help making a verse. Spoilered in case that's rude but you made me cry and think how it's a bit different for me now
Some cracks close quietly after so many nights
Some cracks lie until a single flower takes hold
Bright yellow in the dark.
Some cracks I tend tirelessly
Filling in with gold so they SHINE BABY SHINE.
Some cracks stay, deeper then ever
Snakes give way to dragons
None shall pass, not even you, child
We will hold and fight, and remember.
Quiet now, I know how to tread, where to avoid
The scars in the foundation of my mind
At my co-working space they do a free breakfast on Wednesdays - you best believe I loaded up my plate. There was waffles with chocolate sauce, English muffins with ham and cheese, croissants, yoghurt with fruit, donuts, I got it all. Food coma incoming. And I brought my own lunch too.
I saw a fox just before.
I'm worried that by leaving food for the strays overnight that I've put them in danger....
I've had to accept that I can only really give these guys a helping hand. Still trying to find a rescue to take them, feeding them everyday.
I can't really do much more. I can trap them and get them spayed and vaccinated but they're still pretty much in danger 24/7.
I've gotten way too attached.
Tough pill to swallow.
Convinced YL to spend the weekend at Nana's house. How did I do that you ask? Dad wants to day drink in the nude and that's a bit hard with you here ๐
Cat TMI, poop talk
Melbcat has started having frequent little accidents and while Iโm hoping that itโs only temporary Iโm scared that she might be losing control of her bowels.
Sheโs still seeming mostly comfortable, bright and alert, still eating and washing herself. No current urinary incontinence. Sheโs stopped crying since this started.
Iโm just spiraling because Iโm aware age is catching up to her and Iโm terrified of the future. I feel about Melbcat the way people feel about their child.
Before the adhd meds, I washed dishes in a Cafe and was bad at it.
Post adhd meds and with the help of a friend to get my foot in the door, I run a team of IT professionals.
That big of a difference.
Heartrate settles after a few weeks.
Careful dosing ensure anxiety is at a minimum.
Not just psychologically addictive... They are one of the few drugs with potentially lethal withdrawal effects. The physical withdrawals are fucked too
I put on a goosebumps 90s episode last night to watch with little one and man the 90s melancholy/nostalgia/wistfulness hit me so hard. Oh to be able to go back to that time.
Oh a side note, I love how Slappy scares my 9 year old. She talks tough about not being scared of anything, but as soon as Slappy moves his head she's clinging to me like she's about to fall off a mountain lol.
In the city this morning. It's damp.
And far too many people seem to think that their down puffer jackets are waterproof. Nope, you're going to be cold and wet.
Well, I asked for more field work, and while I was out onto one site I got called up to go to two more, in the rain and cold and everything. But it helped; I feel heaps better today despite some challenging people to deal with (not colleagues). Needed to get oot and aboot!
Gonna go in tomorrow and probably work a full day - heading out midday with the team for an industry meeting/conference thing. Earning that extra money as much as I can. Lord knows I need it. Psych appt got moved to tomorrow so I'll be budgeting carefully until next Friday evening... Need to reschedule dentist again...
Now what to do at home? Maybe some long overdue journalling. Still getting used to not having this big acute deadline hanging over my head โบ๏ธ might also watch an Ang Lee classic, Eat Drink Man Woman.
Any shows to watch?
Groceries done. Time to plonk on my couch and not leave home again. Miserable day out here
Picked up a friend from the Austin Repat today. The place is a time warp. So run down, Iโm surprised itโs still useable at all. Desperately in need of a major refurbishment.
Think I'm going to try and cook a one pan dumpling dish that keeps coming up on my Instagram for dins tonight, seems like it'll be a great night to try out a creamy curry dumpling dish!
My lost Bunnings order has finally made it to me ๐ฅณ I can now put my house number on the letterbox, finally.
I can see the rain outside and I'm glad I stayed home. The other woman in my team got sick from being in the cold and rain in this place just last week and everyone has gone back in similar conditions.
I'm using today as an open day to work on things I've been meaning to before other demands pulled me in other directions.
So windy here.
Furbaby had a cuddle, napped, then has been woken for dinner and meds. I hope sheโs feeling a bit better.
spoiler
Iโm dropping the Osmolax down and starting to give her probiotics in the hope that helps her tummy. Maybe even try a little psyllium husk instead.
Also Iโm glad you guys are around. Youโre good people.
Grump my order was for 2 packages each containing 2, not 1 pack of 2. Let us see how this complaint goes...
One of my apps seems to think Iโm going to the Cheesecake Shop every time I go to the gym. I wish, app, I wish (okay probably not).
It is so miserable and grey and soggy. Have to have the lights on kinda day, because not enough sun.
I've created a kind of cheat sheet for uni with references to advice I've read, teaching theories etc. I was using a google sheets spreadsheet for it but dot points and images aren't formatting properly for my liking.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a cloud-based note taking option? I am about to try OneNote but thought Id see if there are other options too.
Obsidian, notesnook. There a few lemmy groups that are pretty helpful with anti google / Microsoft questions.
I've tried Joplin and it has been a pretty good Evernote replacement. You use your own cloud storage, like onedrive, to store your notes, so you don't have to worry about storage restrictions like what happened to Evernote
Definitely check out notion, it should be absolutely perfect for your use case.
But if privacy becomes a key requirement, you can try obsidian.
It's actually working out quite well for me. At least so far. I'll stick with it and see how it goes.
Having it on my phone is also helpful. Especially when I do placements and need to think up quick games or just reminders about techniques and strategies I will no doubt forget in the moment.

Hmmmm I have a health and well-being day off work today. What would chef recommend? (It doesn't need to be healthy)
All the junk food in the world, cravings!
