Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Does my bum look big in this?
No girl. You look beautiful.
That means she's just going to appropriate a smaller box.. or all of them.
Hello beautiful!
The trap is working
Kitty!!!!
I'm gonna recreate The Slab from KFC for dinner tomorrow night for me and the kid. Soft rolls, bbq sauce, cheese sauce, popcorn chicken. Easy.
The Slab is an affront to god (that I would have tried by now if I wasn't certain it would inflict on myself severe gastrointestinal distress).
This week has been the 7am start work week with lots of uni stuff due. Tired but wired. Sleep deprived but slowly sleeping earlier! Submitted stuff a little late but getting through it. Next week will be better
You got dis one!
Sounds like you've got this ๐๐
Hehe thank you :) I'm sure I will get through it!!
I think Iโve overdone my stress eating.
Oooooh carbs. My old friend.
Hello carbos, my old friend,
I've come to gnaw on you again,
Nighttime I dream I'm consuming
Noodles, pasta, rice I'm wanting
But eventually you'll turn to sugar from grain
And cause me pain
From diabetes
and through the salted water I saw
A hundred noodles maybe more
Softly bubbling without leaking
They float around and they're not sticking
Salted strandlets coiled and headed for my maw
I do adore
The taste of pasta
๐
I've already had about half a cup of rice but I'm about to chow down on some chips... definitely craving the carbs tonight as well.
Yummy chippies.
As ambitious as it was I wasnโt able to eat the whole lot so I have dinner for tomorrow as well.
My birth certificate got lost somewhere in the house a year or so ago and after many unsuccessful attempts to find it, I'd decided today was going to be the day I'd apply for a new one. Checked the Justice services joint in Broady was open and off I went on the bus and train. Sign on the door apologising for inconvenience but they are no longer processing BD&M requests, scan the QR code for a list of other locations and go there. Ok, so I did and Reservoir was the closest, so off I went on the bus and train. Get to Reservoir and the same sign is on their front door!
Ended up getting photocopied notarised documents and submitted online, which I didn't want to do because I hate sending personal ID documents online, would much rather do in person. I just don't feel safe. The website is an utter shitshow, wouldn't accept my postal address, I've seen window cleaning junkies work more effectively.
So I got home and baked brownies with the kids, and they are fudgy and delicious (the brownies not the kids)
Sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced today.
It must have been frustrating as hell to deal with.
Those brownies look so nice. I could really use a batch of them warm right now after the shitty day Iโve had and fall into a blissful food coma.
Yum!
They look great!
That is so frustrating!
they do look good ๐
the sun has set and my room is dark
i should get off the bed and the phone
and clean my room
as mother instructed
Okay I've definitely had way too much caffiene and too much work time because my eyes feel very googly and I got that wired/tired thing going on. Someone make me dinner and take out the rubbish and put away the clothes and pack my bags for me please...
...wait, that someone has to be me? Bummer. ๐ฎโ๐จ Gotta remind myself of my trip, true rest and recuperation is around the corner...
e: somehow made it to the finish line, plus the dishes and a shower. I can't wait to just do nothing
Aussie WT20 Vs NZ on tv at the moment.
5/119 NZ at the moment, 17 overs.
I missed the start but at least I get to see the Aussie bat. Hope we get them!
On what platform?
Free to air.
7 mate
Cool thanks.
And a win for the Aussies!
My hayfever is still raging. ๐
Yipes - got a phone call on my break between clients - major shit has gone down at work.
Better not say too much even semi-anonymously, but it's time-to-join-the-union-and-get-representation shit.
I see many phone calls in my future...
I got so many things on my to do list done today ๐ , just niggling things
I have every cupboard sorted now and unwanted stuff put aside, most has already been taken to op shop or distributed to neighbours
As a list queen I can relate. Itโs so nice getting things crossed off and some decluttering done
I have spilt coffee on myself twice today, which is twice too many. First I was walking along a footpath/bikepath and stepped on my partners heel accidentally, and he stopped to fix it and I just walked into the back of him and spilt coffee down my front. Glad I had a raincoat on lol.
Second was just now, and just out of pure unco-ness I just slopped some of my coffee onto my oodie.
Put a fork in me, I'm done ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
I am patient when it comes to technology, I am well trained, I read instructions very carefully
pisses me off no end when i am gaslighted telling me I don't know what I am doing , godamm fucking air cleaner has the wrong filters and I can't fix it without the right parts, just like I said 2 years ago
thank you for listening to my rant
Is this a cannot operate a screwdriver with genitals situation?
more a fragile ego
Today's the day I know for sure I need antihistamines this season ๐ข
Today's the day I've ramped it up to nasal spray + tablets. And I'm still a bit concerned I could be coming down with something.
