JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I STARTED SMELLING THAT SMELL AND CHECKED AND THERE WAS A DEAD RAT UNDER MY BED UGGGHHH
God knows when it got there but a) I only just started smelling That Smell an hour back (and I crashed for a couple of hours this afternoon) and b) I'm pretty sure it wasn't there yesterday because I hauled the old suitcase out from under the other side of the bed to take to the op shop and I didn't spot anything.
But ugggghhhhhh.
Just stopped shaking... I had to deal with one just before Christmas, though, so maybe that took the edge off?
What worries me is when it got in and how long it'd been there - as I said, I'm pretty sure it wasn't there yesterday and I only just started smelling That Smell, on the other hand it was stuck to the carpet and matted underneath, so... uggh.
Problem is, the foundations have sagged so there's a lot of places it could have got in (part of the reason I've sold the house). I just hope that's the last one I have to deal with before settlement day. >.<
😖 Zooks decided because I woke up early yesterday that 3:30 is now wake up time and head-butted me awake.
Admittedly she woke me out of one of those annoying dreams, but still.
A few days ago, our tortoiseshell alpha pretty much purred me awake at 4am, approximately 1 hour to wake up time for me to go pick up my wife. Yep, she just sat on her pillow and purred LOUDLY.
This morning at maybe 2am she parked herself on top of me, and groomed my hair for a good 10-20 minutes, the same way she grooms our fluffy one.
I dyed my own hair (when I had hair....😳) once whilst camping in a national park, used a whole can of sun-in. I didn't go into town for about a week, and when I did, I legit did a spit-take when I saw my reflection in a shopfront window. On reflection, I didn't need the whole can.
stop it, it's scientifically proven that men actually do suffer more than women when they have respiratory illnesses, they feel worse and get physically sicker .
Take care. Rest. Have some meds and some lemon honey tea.
I've gotta go and buy a dress today. Looking on line and I discovered I'm more picky about clothing than I am about food. I don't want black, prints, lace, too much polyester, bright colours. I don't want to look like a bridesmaid or someone who came from the set of The Handmaids Tale. I like jumpsuits but don't wanna get half naked just to have a piss.
I need something I can wear with my ankle boots because I don't wear scrappy shoes. And I'm gonna need a handbag. I'll probably come out with 3 handbags and no outfit. Pray for me.
The man needs a shirt and he doesn't give a shit what colour it is. Urgh.
I actually ate Chicken drumsticks seasoned overnight.
I’ve got a few frozen pizzas from the supermarket and will be going back to Aldi to pick up a few more of the fresh ones later on in the week if I have some spare time.
Last time I made them, I stopped by Kmart to get a couple of pizza trays.
The only issue I've had is I've gone for a store-bought base, and I haven't found a good one. Which is a challenge, because wifey is a bit of a fussy eater.
(Also, wifey puts too many toppings on hers and they end up going everywhere!)
But so much tastier and fresher than you get from a pizza shop.
Had some friends come over. Because of where I live it doesn't happen as often as I'd like, but it's really nice to have some more humans to talk to lol
Nup, today was not as good as yesterday. Bad sleep, got some shit done but starting to feel some kind of second wave of Bleah coming on. Just like the last time I got covid... I'll do a test tonight (although a negative doesn't mean it isn't something else).
Swear to god I'll cry if I feel sick tomorrow morning. I will not go in sick but it suuuucks to miss another day of pay (doubt they'd let me take my first day off on sick leave)
Nice things for today though:
::: spoiler positivity!!!1 ✨
GLORIOUS sun
scored a $2 bacopa at Bunnings
stocked up on Bonsoy at $3.90 this week
cheap fennel bulbs 😋
found my beetroot seeds
my new daily planner is here!!! Designed for scattered minds - undated, has a "most important things" sublist, and a "brain dump" page every 7 days for planning out the week. Can't wait to use this on Monday!

Time to do gardening pt 2 real quick now that the sun is off my plants, then get into the kitchen. Think I can only make the arroz verde and then I'm done.
I've been posting from Mastodon to Aussie Zone, rather than directly on the site, which is why the extra @ are there. (Hopefully it still all works without them!)
More cleaning today, job made way harder by biodegradable bags exploding into a billion pieces of confetti and getting on everything and breaking down at a touch when picking them up.
Looking forward to some chicken that I seasoned last night and let sit in the fridge overnight, going to see if that makes a difference in flavour.
Anyway more spaces cleaned up for the moment, will resume tomorrow and hopefully I can start to move some furniture around pending vacuuming of stupid left over bag confetti.
It's the real life version of updating your Facebook profile picture. It's about being seen to care and being part of a group. I think it also probably helps people feel like they are doing something when they feel powerless and don't know what to do, but that doesn't make it effective.
Part of the problem is that a lot of people feel disenfranchised from government, so they don't believe actions like writing to their local MP will do anything.
Combined with that we have been putting more and more power in the hands of private companies and telling people to exercise political power by choosing what products to buy and from who. So instead of being able to lobby governments to introduce stronger standards on the media's depiction of women (as an example) we have media outlets "self-regulating" and are told if we want things to change to just stop watching things we don't like.
We have a great system of government where every person gets to have some input into who makes the decisions and rules over us, and as a society we have done everything we can to negate that by taking as much power as we can away from government (which in its own flawed way is goverment by the people) and instead giving power to corporations. All supported by a pretence that "consumer power" and being able to pick which brand we buy (out of a selection that are mostly made by the same company anyway) is somehow giving individuals more power.
It's strange. The way we handle serious issues has really changed the past twenty years. Loss of tolerance, loss of compromise, loss of action.
No discussing an issue. No compromises. No solutions asked for or sought. No running for elections or interacting with politics in a real sense. Telling people what to say and think, or else.
That was the year I became old enough to vote. I grew up with that sort of debate as normal, if you read the newspapers you would have the same sorts of things. Now it's all name calling, slogans and picking a side like it's a game of football. We used to at least pretend that social issues and making the world a better place mattered, now it seems to be just about winning no matter what.
Box icream sandwich review: Fuck these are too sweet! Aldo, no presentation points for me.
Nothing much to say about the biscuit bit. Maybe use the half frozen log trick for a neater result? The icecream part makes way more than necessary and the chips tend to sink. Not awful but even Boyo thinks the sugar is excessive. Coat in 80% bitter for crunch & flavour correction?
About a fiver. You’ll also need 1 egg, a smidge of butter, and a mug of milk. I now need to find a use for the other hall of this milk because apparently the tiny cartons don’t exist anymore.

5 loads of washing done, blankets and pillows cleaned, 2 loads dishes, continuing getting tapestry fabric ready to make new chair covers, next have to clean up after cats , then I'm done 💤
Coda. A short and sweet romance movie. 3 hobbits. What's best is you can see katie is awed and likes patrick in real life, that or she's truly a very good actress
The Bacchantes. Old Italian movie based on the Euripides play. It seems to me the story is about bringing civilisation and humanity to society. It's interesting that the gods want above all else human experience and human experience can only come with mortality so they adopt a human form, I suppose because mortality makes it more precious. The sets and costuming is so good. The dances, just like in the old paintings. Everyone did their homework. I give this 4.5 hobbits.

I hope you're okay?
Many years ago, I lived in Ferntree Gully.
Beautiful suburb, lots of birds and other wildlife. Very peaceful.
But one night, I was fast asleep, when I was awakened by a rustling and scratching sound in the wardrobe.
I turned the light on, opened the wardrobe door.
AND OUT RUNS A MOUSE!!!
I jumped up on the bed and SCREAMED!
The mouse ran straight out the door as fast as it could.
I'm not sure who was more frightened — me or the mouse!
Anyway, next day I went to Bunnings and got a caulking gun and sealed up the spot where I *think* it got in.
Big cleanup in the kitchen and the back yard too.
That was the last I saw of it.

Couldn't sleep so I took off from Albury at 5:30. Just got home when my alarm was due to go off.
I was fine until maybe 45 minutes out and my eyes started getting a little stingy but I pushed through and everything is a-o-k.
Actually pretty glad to have avoided the "coming home from a long weekend" Hume Hwy crowd. It was a quiet and good run.

@Seagoon_ @RustyRaven @melbourne Here's something from the early '90s that shows just how much things have changed over the past 30-odd years.
Here's a clip of the prime minister at the time, Paul Keating, debating tax policies with the opposition leader, John Hewson.
As in, going right into details. Hewson wanted to bring in a GST, Keating opposed it.
And they debated on national TV.
On A Current Affair.
As in, the TV show with all the dodgy tradies used to cover important national issues, like how the tax system should work.

It’s box mix to make some. I was intrigued by the powdered icecream bit. Will report later.

Is there a website that I can put in a hallmark number and it would tell me more about an object?

Nah it's a candlestick holder. Made in England. Possibly brass.

Movie review
Coda. A short and sweet romance movie. 3 hobbits. What's best is you can see katie is awed and likes patrick in real life, that or she's truly a very good actress
The Bacchantes. Old Italian movie based on the Euripides play. It seems to me the story is about bringing civilisation and humanity to society. It's interesting that the gods want above all else human experience and human experience can only come with mortality so they adopt a human form, I suppose because mortality makes it more precious. The sets and costuming is so good. The dances, just like in the old paintings. Everyone did their homework. I give this 4.5 hobbits.

I put out a dozen empty clean maccona jars in the courtyard for any neighbour who might want them. Gone in 5 minutes.
