Didn't take my afternoon meds yesterday because I forgot. The tiredness just crashed over me and swallowed me up. Maybe kinda good for my brain to reset a bit. The intense dreams started again though. Back on it today! Last day of FT work and it is HECTIC and I'm flying interstate this evening for a conference that I haven't even remotely read up about in terms of the speakers. Gotta prep the house for the other person coming in to catsit while I'm away. Let's goooo

Morning bacon. A big coffee and bucket of sunshine please
Was excited to introduce kids to Passiona. They didn't like it at all. I had a sip myself and I don't blame them it tastes weird. Tastes like they have subbed in an artificial sweetener. Did they change the formula or is my recollection just hazy after not really drinking this for a decade?
I feel Ike Passiona has always had a bit of an odd flavour. Not that it stopped me from drinking it as a kid.
Perfect weather for a big gardening day today. I'm going to finish digging out the roses in the front yard, then take Chomp out to do some mulching - including the dreaded prickly rose cuttings. Then I have a few apple and pear trees to plant. Lots of choices after that depending on how I'm feeling - I can do some more work on the new beds, organise the next lot of seeds to be planted, do a bit of weeding. I'll see how I feel when I get there!
I am begging you to put the chomp dino/croc/whatever the fuck it is on the side of your shredder
Finished a hard day at work, very strenuous but satisfying (I like that kind of thing). Basketball ring arrived while I was at work, and was assembled by Mr P. Minipeelers were enjoying it until elder minipeeler got a splinter in his foot. Mr P attempted removal and broke it, leaving some in there. I got home and had to remove the rest, the whole thing would've been around 2cm which is long for a splinter. Mr P copped a severe chastisement for allowing the children to play basketball outside in their socks. I'm one of those "put your SHOES ON!" parents, even in summer. It took ages to get the damn splinter out, it was really lodged in there deep. That shit is my jam though, weird thing to be good at but ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
You are a literal wonder woman; you are one of the best role models ๐
Of course I slept in and of course Starfield has to update. So by the time it's finished, I'm going to have to exit out of the game.
Le sigh, it's just not my day today. Do over please?
Nooooooo the Spice Girls tribute show starts the day after I fly home and the next Carrot Top show is the night I fly home too. WHY WORLD?! WHY???

Have to give a little review of the new Clifton hotel in kew.
I had the diavola pizza and it was proper pizza pressure.
Pretty much at capacity. Impressively well oiled machine.
I hate my neighbours.
Blaring - floor shaking volume - System Of A Down and itโs nearly midnightโฆ
Fuck you too.
Not sure which colour nail polish I want to apply. Shiny blue, magenta, something more pale and reserved? Idk choices choices
spoiler
The cream, the bone, the off-white, the white, the ivory, or the beige?
And I'm fully prepared to sulk away in embarrassment if nobody gets the reference...
One Piece is absolutely delightful. Totes recommend. ๐๐
Jeez Thank God Youโre Here is funny.
Iโve got a high as a kite kitty with the munchies (for treats not dinner). Prancing around merrily and smooching. She just walked over and headbutted my full coffee mug hard, and it went everywhere.
Onto the recently changed bedding, down behind the headboard, into the drawers, under the base of the touch lamp, on my art stylus, on my Apple earphones, a few books, a medication packet, box of tissuesโฆ thankfully the stylus is still working and it missed my sketchbooks. Fingers crossed for the earphones. I grabbed one of her cotton blankets and mopped it up fast while she tried to cuddle in my lap.
Iโve wiped up what I can access. Sheโs settled in on my lap but when she gets up I can blot the carpet and give everything a thorough clean. Maybe soak the carpet spills in biological cleaner so it can just sit without scrubbing
