In 2 weeks, it'll be ten years sober.

I don't want to write a novella, but it's been a hell of a ride. From sleeping on a mattress on the floor wearing all my clothes and still being cold, to a relatively regular existence.

A lot of the time, its been a one man show so to speak. And I'm really fucking proud of my accomplishment.

Fuck giving up on what you want and your dreams.

And fuck anyone who tries to bring you down to their level.

That level of discipline will get you everything you need in this world.

Need to share my joy of fucking nailing it

Everyone agrees the cheesecake is the bomb! Aww yiss! Got the security tag off too after googling what kind it was and working out it was just a beeper tag (used the "forks" method with needle nose pliers to clip the wire). ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

That's unreal! Well done Mum!

Does this mean Monday is postponed?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

The extra Saturday is for finishing up all those jobs we didn't get round to yesterday. Sunday has been omitted due to lack of interest. Monday I regret will still happen.

We would like to file a complain to the Weather Manager.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Your call is important to us. Due to unusually high demand an operator is currently unavailable. Please listen to several hours of aggravating musak while we clip our toenails.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah! I mean I appreciate that it's not stinkin' hot but can we have a bit more of the in-between weather instead of strobing from too hot to this? I love the rain but it sucks if you're planning on doing stuff, and I've got Mount Washmore to tackle!

I just keep using my crappy secondhand poor efficiency dryer :(

I donโ€™t have the energy to hang stuff anymore and would forget things to be rained on or bleach in the sun

Just started watching Severance and it's GOOD. Today will be spent watching an episode whenever I lose the willpower to do stuff (about 20 minutes, on average).

Bought a new to me bike. A cheap racer. Save me lugging and parking my steel touring bike around town. If the cheap racer gets pinched, it's a bother but not the end of the world. Spent the day setting it up. Unfortunately my marathon tyres don't fit so I'm sticking with the 23mm contis it came with.

Ahhhhhh just woke up.

Perfect!

Morning cuddles were lovely. I was holding Melbcat fully in my arms as we slept, kind of cradling her. I ruined the moment when I got up to do her meds but itโ€™s just such a strong bond.

I really hope sheโ€™s with me for years to come because I donโ€™t know what Iโ€™m going to do without her.

Such an easy HD upgrade today. So pleased, although not having a big HD to begin with made it a quick process...

But thermal paste. Oh my lawd, thermal paste that has not dried. Cleaning that up. May it never happen again.

Urge to hoard power toolsI had a brain wave and went on eBay. I donโ€™t need much in the way of power tools so found a knockoff rotary tool for under $30 and it has a drill bit included. (If I need different sizes later theyโ€™re universal right?)

I specifically looked for the rotary tool with cutting discs because I also wanted to cut plastic tubs down to make larger more shallow litterboxes that are easier to step into.

The only problem is something so cheap is usb charged. Not sure if battery, probably.

And thereโ€™s the risk of either never getting around to it or stressing us both out with noise and/or cutting a finger off. I have cheap safety glasses and ear mufflers but no safety gloves.

I would try the tutorial I saw that used a heat gun or a hairdryer to soften before cutting but my hairdryer would die before warming the plastic much and a heat gun is more expensive. Also the heat gun might be more dangerous and the sharp box cutter could slip.

I have a mini hacksaw but thereโ€™s a chance that the plastic would crack. Perhaps I can try it out on the thick rigid seedling-trays-turned-litterboxen first, just so Melbcat doesnโ€™t have to bend her little knees as much. Maybe it could work.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

We did this with a bread knife for our old fella. The box was from petstock I think, and we have a mat in front in case litter gets scratched out. It wasn't hard to cut through, and I used a nail file to clean up the edges.

You could try heating up a metal knife and going through the plastic. Oven mitts should give enough insulation.

Did Zero Latency with some friends today. It was a lot more fun than I was expecting. A fun 40k hoard shooter campaign that was pretty enjoyable. I wonder if there's ever been a Killing Floor game there

I bought a brand new apple pencil from a pawn shop so I could use it to draw notes on the music sequencer app.

Charging now. Hopefully it works.

Also got this cool keyboard that plugs into the ipad
