    Went to the zoo with Minipeelers and Mr P. We are trying to do a “family activity” together every weekend; so far things have been quite civil really. Saw the meerkats, seals, lions, Australian section, lizards and dingoes. Tried to see the animal that smells like hot buttered popcorn (Binturong; sounds like an Indonesian beer and it looks shattered, like it spent far too much time with extended family or small children, but it really does smell like popcorn!) but being a master of camouflage it could not be seen. I wouldn’t want to be seen either if I was an animal in the wild that smelled so deliciously edible!

    The popcorn scented Binturong we didn’t see.

    Then I bought myself a tshirt of Fry saying “shutup and take my money!”

    Went to bed pretty early (for me), but couldn’t sleep. Got up at 2am and had an oven apple pie and promptly fell asleep on the couch with the cat.

    Woke up wide awake at 6am. Wtf.

    Oop… hairball on the bed. Thankfully I have a few doonas. I put a cover on a new one ready to swap out fast when she gets up.

    Not a fan of these ‘space saver’ bags that don’t stay sealed or compressed. Also they’re large so you have to haul the bulky thing down and dig through. Not really working as intended… maybe I should just divide things into smaller stackable blanket boxes, and sorted in categories.

    And declutter… I just wish I could find clothes that fit and are comfortable so I could cull all the ones I keep ‘just in case’.

      Ugh I hate those vacuum bag things. You cram them full of blankets or whatever and then it’s heavy as to do anything with. Also got to get the vacuum cleaner out every time you want to pull out a jumper or something. I found them too much of a hassle. I was mostly using them for toy plushies, jumpers and the like. I had better luck with those supermarket cooler bags with the zip tops: just big enough for me to put a few things in and lightweight enough for me to put in and out of the top of the wardrobe. I don’t know why I had so many of them, but they came in handy lol.

    It got down to 5°c last night but I did it for the team. Made a few wishes for youse so now you have to wait to see if they come true. You can thank me later for your good fortunes.

    We went to the burlesque show for our Anniversary last night. There was a best dressed prize so I told my girlfriend to find something she’s never had a chance to wear and dress as gay as you can.

    My logic was you dress up extravagantly as you can because there will either be someone more dressed up as you, or you win a prize.

    And she won!

    She felt overdressed because most of the crowd was just old people, but that meant she was the clear winner, so she had a good time and it made the night a bit more special

    Day 3 of snot hell. Decided to do another RAT though I suspect it’s just a cold. Thank the flying spaghetti Monster for nasal rinses and real Sudafed. Also warm water with a tsp of honey and a half tsp of ghee has helped with the coughing.

    I got home incredibly late after a huge hyper focus session rewriting out my entire intro (this time with full citations) - got home past 1am and hugely apologetic to dear sox who was clearly a bit out of sorts having dislodged and chewed up a corner of a pizza box (there was plenty of dry food left for her to free feed on).

    Things have been so hectic I have two weeks of laundry built up and all sorts of crap lying around. So I’ve spent this morning getting that done, cleaning the kitchen, doing an overdue vacuum, tidying the place up before Sox’s human comes at 11. Now just waiting for the second round of laundry and… lo and behold I have been blessed with one last shnuggle.

    At least I get to enjoy this last bit of quality time 😭 🙏🏽 🖤🤍🖤

    E: also looks like the US has finally pulled the pin. Yaaaay… not…

        She’s astoundingly shiny regardless of what crap she gets fed by her human. Maybe she’s born with it (not Maybelline). I love her medium coat length too, it’s so soft but not as hard to manage as a long coat.

      Aww you’ve worked really hard to do what you need to do.

      I’m glad you can relax with soxcat now

      I’m sure you’ll see her again.

      Also what did I just wake up to this morning?

        Her whiskers are truly astounding. I’ve collected a few over time and some are longer than my fingers. She’s such a baby. Spoiled her with a churu and more cuddles because she is going to hate being forced into the carrier fairly soon
