arghghhghhg slept in lounge because we're still separating cats, proved once again that I can sleep through anything by waking up to a giant pile of cat puke next to head. Strip the jacquards off couches to wash, figure hey I should flip the cushions anyway, vac cushions, flip cushions, see dustbunnies, start vacuuming and now I'm fucking deep cleaning the loungeroom with a detour to deep clean the dyson because someone has been using it past the MAX FILL line........

Well now I'm lunchbreaking with tzaziki, how you doing?

Yesterday I was having a micro nap on the couch. I was facing the wall. Woke up. Needed a pee. Put my dead legs down and there was an almighty squeal. The kid woke from the other couch. The man came running. Yeah I had stood on the little dog who was snoozing on the floor beside me. I don't think he has fully forgiven me.

My kid accidentally sat on the cat once, and the squeal he let out made me think he’d lost a finger. He had some nasty scratches on his legs (nowhere more sensitive, fortunately). The cat made no noise at all but vanished for quite a while after that

Still at work for a couple of hours. Looking forward to getting some stuff at Bunnings on the way home, then fixing the shower

Am also looking forward to sorting out the house (if I have the energy) as it’s trashed from end-of-year exhaustion
