    Finally sitting down to relax, long long day. I’m exhausted. I cut up a mango to boost my mood.

    Melbcat has fled into hiding… she was forced to swallow medicine from her free healthcare and then offered her favourite fancy cat food from a pouch! The insult. She sat in the corner to teach me a lesson and fell asleep like that.

    (Actually she hides when she doesn’t feel well. I hope she’s okay.)

    Edit: She’s out and finishing the food 👍

    Installed Bumble BFF. Got a fair few matches. Last time I tried this I ended up meeting a lot of guys that weren’t there for friendship.

    Fingers crossed for 2nd time around!

      Was actually thinking of downloading that again last night. I have a friend who met some friends off of there. Run clubs also seem to be popping off right now.

      I’ve noticed there are lots of groups for women aged 18-35 where you do activities and meet people but not really any for men. Someone should make one.

      It could be worth getting some people from there and hanging out as a group, to spare some awkwardness.

        That’s a good idea.

        I think women in general are just better at socialising than men. Well, in my experience anyway.

        It’s a real shame. There are great dudes to catch up with, but it’s tough.

        Thankfully I have music but there’s some real weird race stuff I’ve experienced in some parts of the scene. A lot of assumptions made before I even open my mouth.

    Damn. Didn’t realise season 7 of The Rookie had started back up.

    Ahh it’s so good to have it back again.

    I was going to do stuff and then didn’t. The most I managed was calling the endodontist, trying to line up a lift, and pulling the dishes out of the dishwasher (but not rinsing). Maybe picking a few things off the floor. Spraying the zucchinis.

    It’s been really hard to move or do anything. And there may be a power cut tonight -_-

    I wish my 2nd reference didn’t have untreated adhd lol

    Contingency plans have been made anyways. She’s lovely but could do with a human size stimulant pill to keep her on track lol

    It’s from the other place, so sorry in advance but… I’ve been trying to separate them for like 30 years and apparently you can do this…what the hell?

      1. I find them incredibly easy to separate. I get mozzies half of the year leaving the doors open so the dog can go for a wee at night. I use a coil most nights and have broken less than five in a few years of doing this. Pry the tails apart, splitting them off the coil, then gently with each hand pull/jiggle them apart until they’ve separated, easy peasy.

      2. Lighting them joined together does work, but the lit one singes the unlit one. When lighting the second one it burns for about 1/3 less of the time due to the slight singe through the whole thing.

      3. Fuck /r/australia and it’s uptight mods.

    The other day I saw a full sized easel in a skip but didn’t risk it. You don’t always know what you’re bringing into your house with something :(

    Plus where would I put it

    To my horror I left my little foot heater on for the entire time I was at work.

    So glad nothing serious happened other than maybe using more power than I should have.

    Should count myself lucky.

    Dishwasher is here!!! 🥳 picked up my leftover dw powder and rinse aid from work, Y-splitter for cold washing machine tap obtained from Bunnings (decided maybe not to risk running it off the hot water tap even though it’d be heaps cheaper - hot water is free at this joint). Somehow fiddled around and got that Y splitter in even though there’s not much room to maneuvre. If there is a small leak I won’t know until it’s quite bad, so hopefully it’s all well-sealed!

    Running the first load now after a prelim test run with just water… results tbc, but the amount of space that’s opened up on my benchtop without having to get my hands dirty is phenomenal 😭 I’m pleased to see that I can fit my plastic chopping board on the side. Sadly I can only fit two mugs on the top shelf, but there’s enough space below. I reckon I can fit about 2-3 days worth of dishes which is great because I don’t need to look at shit piling up any more!!! LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR DISHES

    photos

    The top rack can be removed and has its own little cutlery trays that are a bit awkward but whatever

    Fits just nice on top of the washing machine, my only worry is that sometimes the washing machine vibrates a fair bit so hopefully that won’t shift the dishwasher too much. I suppose I could look at fixing the dw in place with some double sided tape

    Alrighty. Unfortunately Toshiba won’t be going ahead due to police check issue which is a shame, however 2nd place is happy to match my current salary.

    All in all, a positive outcome :)
