    I can’t help but feel like a prick ugh my aunt has moved to Maffra and is hosting family tomorrow night/overnight to celebrate housewarming/April&May birthdays.

    I have not been able to organise for anyone to check on mickey while we’re gone. It isn’t feasible to bring him (dad driving us, aunt already has a cat, there will be a big dog). I know he’ll be okay, we have done once before one Xmas where I left the aircon on for him and heaps of food around - so I’m confident he’ll be okay and fine. But there’s that niggling fear that I’m a bad fkn owner. Idk just a vent - I’m happy if people wish to pass judgement aita style.

    I’m lucky he isn’t super food motivated, I can leave food around and he won’t scoff it then vomit. I’ll put the reverse cycle on warm for him and make a couple of nests out of the oodies, hoodies, and couch-blankets. I’ll dry food out and around and make sure his water is changed tomorrow morning before I go. He’ll be fine! Fuck!

    Door track cleanliness has been aquired

    Vacuuming and washing the outside of the windows has also been done. I’m just about to start on mopping and then I can spend some time assembling things (and bringing more stuff in from the van).

    I have decided whoever installed the sliding doors here put them in the wrong way. The traffic flow through both the laundry and the living room would work better if they opened in the other direction, and the space for the washing machine (with both the power point and drainage point in the sink) would block the doorway if you actually put the machine there. Fortunately it’s a big area and there is still space for the machine, but I am going to have to run the power cord across to the other side of the sink and hook the drainage pipe over the side of the sink instead of using the built in drainage hole.

      Sometimes people just don’t think about living in a space. I took our front screen door off when the movers were here because it opens the direction that blocks the stairs 🤯

      Recently had an elderly neighbour die, all his belongings turfed onto the street for collection including Narnia books and other long owned sentimental books/VHS. Had to collect it before it got rained on or collected to go to the op shop that was only 200m away.

        Yeah. I feel like shit. We didn’t know him all that well but we know her very well and she’s always been super duper kind to the family.

        Can’t even imagine what she’s going through.

        Yep. Even in her grief she was so kind as to get one of the neighbours she’s closest to come and let us all know the news.

        Mrs b is taking it pretty chill but it’s kicked me in the fuckin teeth.

    Food review.

    IXL Breakfast marmalade. Very sweet, mild orange flavour, no tang, not much peel, good jelly.

    I’m going to give 3 oranges out of four because it’s made with good ingredients . It’s just not to my liking.

    It would appear the people who moved near the other day are fond of substances and DV.

    To be continued…

    Miss Meow's garden corner is done

    I also have my dining table together - I was able to eat lunch in comfort!

    I think it’s time to tidy up and call it a day.

    I’ve got a craving for Peking duck.

    I don’t want super pricey and fancy shit.

    I’m good with mediocre quality at a price.

    So yeah we’re doing cheapish Chinese in the city tomorrow for dinner.

    I’ve had this crazy expensive headset from an old job for almost 2 years.

    I have just now figured out how to get it to work wirelessly.

    I work in IT.

    It’s a razer blackshark 2 Pro.

    It’s been a tiring week. Had a nice meal tonight and I have eaten much cheese. Now I’m gonna either watch tv or read something, but I’m doing it from bed with the electric blanket on.

    Well, I complained and complained about my unit being a hot oven over summer but it’s working to my advantage with this cool weather atm. Let’s see how well it holds up over the weekend. Still haven’t gotten the oodie out or heater on. No thermals, no puffer jacket…
