Meet my new bestie kitty:
She’s on the way to the beach and she’s really friendly:

Good solid kitty.
Standard issue cat! Solid and reliable
Home :) was on less than an hour of sleep so it was quite bewildering to see my dog in the flesh as opposed to a 2D static image
Thank you all for your lovely messages over the past few days. I promise I read them all and will respond, have just been dead tired
Welcome home! Now sleep!
It’s only 9pm Japan time 😢
so soon?
welcome back 😘
Yep I know :( was only two weeks but a very good two weeks
Can’t wait to hear stories and see pictures. 😊
Imagine its 4am
You wake up to the wardrobe door slooooowly opening.
You just woke up from a dream so you’re fucking panicking because what the fuck is going on.
Then the cat walks out of the wardrobe
So Gibson is the new queen of Narnia? Cool.
Does she bring Turkish Delight?
Due to budget cuts your cat is also your sleep paralysis demon
Once a queen of Narnia always a queen of Narnia.
I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. I think I’m going to be forced to learn how to rest properly…
Ted Report.
Ted has lost 1.25 kg in the past year, which is excellent. Vet was very happy.
But he was so stressed he couldn’t get vaccinated. So he has some sedative to take and will get vaccinated next week.
poor little guy
and Miss Seagoon found out his full name is Theodore, he’s not just Ted.
Trying the FREE LEMONS thing again since I found out they’re apparently selling for 2 bucks a pop. Refilled the container three times so far.
Investing in mint and lemons 📈
2 bucks a pop
eee that’s pushing it. Shouldn’t have pruned my retirement fund a few months ago :(

Resident magpie used the birdbath finally 🐦⬛ -> 💦 -> 👏.
Stood there, watched me fill it up, something clicked, jumped in.
Might be the smell of fresh water or the splashing sounds that triggered it. But now that it knows, you’ll have a regular visitor! I have a couple of magpies that visit my bird bath. One of them only ever drinks, the other one likes to get in and splash around. Only worry I have is the water heats up a lot on hot days, so I try to go change it out in the afternoons if it’s a hot day.
I have mentally checked out from work, and yet I persist to be logged on.
I’ve just had the most luxurious shower.
Melbcat has started rubbing her nose and been placed in the cone of shame. Nooo

I waited for someone else to start the cheers but no takers.
Already planning Australia Day. Think I’ll celebrate with a pint of VB (not my usual tipple) and a read of The Lucky Country.
I’m going to celebrate by finishing off a night shift at 7am, sleeping as much as I can, then going back in the evening to start another shift at 7pm.
That’s a really good book. Thoroughly enjoyed it. 👍
Also this one by Tim Ross

Here is some monkey tax and more. I think if I’m equipped with a pair of gloves next time, I’ll be a winter convert. It’s not always dull and grey.

snow.



Good morning. I’m pleased to wake and find the effects of the muscle relaxants have finally worn off. What a shit 24hrs. Headache, grogginess and nausea. e: Orphenadrine / Norflex was the drug, horrible for me.
Those things are either make you feel like floating on air, or like the worst hangover.
Glad you’re on the mend.
My head’s on the mend, I’m still struggling with random muscle cramping whenever I get chilly which is still super shit.
Dang, is it physical or neurological?
I’ve got low iron and low magnesium so I’m hoping it’s just something that I can supplement away. Amusingly, my blood appears to be not 🤘metal🤘 enough. I’m also feeling the cold much more than I normally do but I’ve also lost a bunch of weight so that could just be missing the insulation. Irritatingly it’s not in muscles I can easily reach to dry-needle.
So you’re getting healthier and suffering? That kind of tracks to be honest. When I lost weight years ago, definitely felt it in the winter.
Like proper felt it.
I bought one of those spiky cushions to lie on, and that’s helped with circulation to my back heaps. Sucks for the first minute and when getting up, but does wonder.
Like I said chatting to Gibson the other day, I’ve mostly gone vegetarian the last few years so it tracks that I’m low iron. The supplements are working, just slowly and I’m not sure that’s the actual problem. Doctors only know so much. I think I’ve got a shakti mat somewhere, I’ll give it a try.
F& C for dins, followed by strawberry coconut icy pole
I’ve done some beading, so relaxing
done tidying up , put stuff away,
will look after pot plants tomorrow morning
F&C is always a good go to.
