This is Quentin. He averages one thought every fifteen minutes

Candid shots of a few of the crew. Their dry food is on the ground so the crazy lady doesn't throw it out. 🐱

Edit: I changed today. I was having another stress fest about work. I went and laid down and had one of those "self talk" sessions.

I've been taking work way too seriously. In general. I've been giving everything to my job and left nothing for myself.

Since I reduced the medication I've noticed the lack of energy after work because I'm not hyped up. So I'm sitting there, not knowing what to do with myself. Even music is hard. Very hard. So I've been going to bed very early.

I don't need 10 hours of sleep. I just have nothing to do because I'm completely spent.

Because everything has been devoted to work.

On double the dose I was a workaholic automaton.

This is the 3rd week since the reduction. Significant personality changes noted. More relaxed and happier to banter with people. Body is less tensed up.

Being content. Smiling. Laughing.

I wonder what else will change.

Had a medical cannabis wafer last night, I don't think I've ever slept so damn well.

I've been saying "wafer thin mint" all morning much to my own amusement.

People are getting seasick on this ferry. I am not one of them (I don't get seasick, I'm very comfortable on open water) but the ferry staff have checked on me twice.

I can only assume they've seen me stand up and made the wrong guess

My daughter's having some friends over next week for some birthday drinks. These are her 4 closest pals and it makes my heart swell the love and bond they all share as she is an only child. They are the most loveliest, responsible mixed bag of young people I've ever met.

The man and I will be in the backyard with a bonfire going roasting spuds and marshmallows because I don't feel comfortable about leaving them on their own considering 3 of them are slightly under the drinking age. (And yes, I do have permission from their parents).

Also I'll be making them some cocktails but they will be a little on the weaker side. They won't know that though.

sets out large pot o tea

My French is better than I thought. I managed to direct/have a lengthy conversation with a French tourist who was gifted with enthusiastic but terrible English skills.

I’ve also picked up a katsu curry bowl and am ready to withdraw into seclusion for the evening.

A 20km drive home (freeway driving) took 40 minutes. Between that and just suchhhh a shitty day at work, I actually had to go to the gym or I'd have torn myself apart.

Now sitting outside, enjoying the breeze.

I don’t really fancy cooking and cleaning up after a stir fry today.

I think I’ll just air fry some thick crunchy chips tonight.

21 degrees at 8:30am in May. Wtf. Just really really hoping that it doesn't mean that Winter drags on as well!

Also had a dream that boyo was participating in a 15km run that started in Melbourne but ended in China - 10km done in Melbourne, then catching a flight to Vietnam in order to run into China for the finish. Huh?!

I left the windows open and now my entire apartment smells like a bushfire. yey.

I think this is going to work. It will show grot terribly, but be very cheerful.

Tooth yeeted. Thank goodness. A little worried about what the pain will be like and hoping it heals without complications but fingers crossed this gets it sorted.

Vet appointment made for Melbcat tomorrow

It's a nice day. I'm going on a ferry ride, because I can

Got lost at the hosplital yesterday picking up the ol' boy from a day thing.. twice. Ended up in areas I was not supposed to be in. Shoutout to the nurses there who took me on a little tour and were very friendly about it lol. Honestly whoever designed that thing back in the day (freemasons east melbs) was drunk.

I was playing "get in the door" on hard mode today

It smells like Spring, that sweet nighttime aroma wafting lazily through gardens and streets. I hear the beat of someone playing music, the distant sound of cars on the road, a low drone of overnight construction.

My seat is still counting, but I think Peter Khalil will pull through, it's very close though!

Went and saw the Minecraft movie over the weekend with my two kids and two of their friends. Really fun. Small cinema so no meme related mess thankfully.

Tide was in, swans are close to the shore, the water here is so gentle on the beach, no waves

The way my brain works is so weird. I come home and I'm just dead. I have a feeling it might have something to do with it getting dark early and also not getting enough sleep. Or iron or something.

I spend time from 5pm to 9pm just eating, being zonked out, and staring into space pretty much.

I had a deadline 10 days ago, and because I've spent much of this week being exhausted, I didn't meet that deadline and submitted nothing. I'm going to try not to beat myself up too hard sighs

THE STARS ARE VEILED

Carrot cake at work today. I may have accidentally eaten three slices.

Smashing out this research assessment - i wonder if I can get a small extension to Monday due to being unwell the past couple of weeks, but I don't have a doctor's note. Ugh

It's my own fault but UGH

I really need to get my shit together and take the bins and mow the lawn.

We just had a network outage at work for half hour… so I used it as an opportunity to apply for a job that showed up in my personal inbox and looked interesting, lol.

Good night everyone. Sweet dreams 😘

( Do you mean to wish me a good night or do you mean that it is a good night whether I want it or not? Or perhaps you mean to say that you feel good on this particular night. Or are you simply stating that this is a night to be good on? )

I've managed to sort out the microchip records for Mr Woof and Miss Meow - I somehow had two seperate accounts and could only access one. They have now been merged and I can access both records. It didn't help that I had lost the number for Mr Woof's chip and it's taken me ages to find it.

I discovered that Mr Woof was still listed under his prison ID, "Scampy", a name that he hasn't used since he was a puppy incarcerated at the Lost Dogs Home. It's been fixed now, and I have the numbers securely recorded so I'll be able to register them with the new council.
