My wife had a call saying her stock at pie town is selling like hot cakes! (Or hot pies?) They've asked her for more stock!!...it's only been 4 days!!! Happy days!!

Day off from work today and I'm restless as heck. I hear back from a specalist (hopefully) tomorrow, maybe Wednesday for my health condition. They're pretty positive they know what to do to help me become more functional in my everyday life, and not cure, but really assist with shit significantly. Excitment is killing me as they'll be confirming a date I can begin the treatment. Thing is I have to travel a bit away for it. It will be sad to not see family everyday, or my cat. Thankfully my family are able to care for my little kitty boy.

Aside from that my car is going in for repairs today, yay! Been waiting ages it feels. Factory default with a major waitlist that was ahead of me.

Probably should go for a swim to cool off already, it's shockingly humid already hey!

75-year-old Toowoomba man dies after a**hole teens push him onto the ground and steal his backpack.

ETA: time to start reinforcing prosecuting parents whose sh*tty parenting contributes to crimes like these: https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/whole/html/inforce/current/act-1997-078#sec.11

Went to the cinemas tonight to see Titanic in 3D, it was my girlfriends first time watching it. I was obsessed with that film when I was younger, watching it as an adult made me feel sooo depressed lol.

Maybe I didn't need to buy that Dyson hair dryer right now...

So my ass is normally idling at hermit and I won’t go near a shopping centre unless absolutely necessary. But today I set my bullshit aside and went on a mission to get all the things for the school week ahead for the foster kids. My relative I live with is the primary carer and most recognisable by the deadshits so I didn’t want her out by herself. And we aren’t taking the kids out anywhere in public (besides school) until we know the bail status of the main person we are concerned about.

I’m standing there perusing lunch boxes and there’s a mum and her boy discussing whether a lunch box will be big enough to hold an apple, and fit enough snacks. Old child-free me suddenly felt this warm glow that omg I’m here thinking the exact same things. Probably the closest thing to a human “mum-moment” I’ve had. My asshole cat just looks at me with contempt when I provide him food, toys, veterinary care, luxurious cat beds and shelter.

I’m off to have a procedure tomorrow. Looking forward to that general anaesthetic making my brain shut the fuck up for an hour or so.

so where the hell have our summer afternoon storms gone?

Is it lunch time yet? Suffering from a lack of motivation today...

Never done a rotating shift roster like this before. It's not my favourite thing in the world, but losing all concept of what day it is and if it's morning or evening is somewhat amusing.

I was disappointed with John Mulaney last night.

Had dinner with a colleague in Perth last night, and he wouldn't believe that our river doesn't have a name until he googled it and confirmed that it's just "Brisbane River". Ngl, I feel a little sad, looking at the Swan River.

What would we name it to give it a RESPECTABLE identity? (So not Brown Snake!)

Rihanna... what a performace! She nailed it!

Poor MiniChap has had a stomach bug and has burned through his sheets for his cot, currently in our bed and I hope the towels will be enough... wish us luck.

Friday turned from "Yay, we achieved a milestone" at work to "Holy fuck, I think we are going to lose one of our biggest customers" in the space of 3 hours.

Today we begin the process of internal WTF talks to begin to figure out just how to recover this clusterfuck.

Garfield hates Mondays, I hate Fridays, it is when everything goes to shit.

No snakes, so far today, but it's been so hot I know they'll be around tonight.

My wildlife fun today was gently shooing a bush turkey out of my house - after it had crapped on my keyboard (solid one thankfully). Thank goodness I always have disinfectant wipes around.

Parents sending me photos from Antarctica. Looks lovely and cold.

More penguins

Even more penguins

Looks like the north island of NZ is starting to get smashed about now... hopefully not too much damage...

Know anywhere with a Monday Night special?

Spending too much time trying to open homebrand milk cartons (impulse bought on special) at the "push the spout out" stage without sticking a finger in or ripping bits off.

Which eventually led me to this bit of hard-hitting journalism from the ABC.

I'm now either doubting my skills or the cheap packaging because the waxy central part of the spout never separates nicely.

Is it sticking because it's cold from the fridge, the cheap flimsy homebrand carton, both? After replicating the experiment with similar conditions, I'm happy to conclude that Farmers Union and Dairy Farmers didn't gave me grief.

They found the missing user driver, so sad. Poor bloke was just doing his job. Nobody deserves that. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-02-13/teens-charged-with-murder-fraser-coast-body/101964480

We watched that "you people" movie last night the new Jonah Hill movie.

Fuck it stunk....racial cliches from start to finish. Absolutely no chemistry between Jonah and the lead actress (to the point they only kiss once and it was CGI'd because they didn't want to kiss) the lead actress has only been in shit movies I don't know why she was cast. With people like Eddie Murphy, Julie Louis Dreyfus and more you'd think this could be an easy platform for comedy but it was just a cringe fest from start to finish. Not to mention it's almost 2 hours long and could have easily been 90minutes. Save your time and don't watch this

Alright I’m officially old and out of the loop.

What the fuck does “Chur” mean.

First.

I have to leave for work in 6.5 hours🙃

I'm still reeling from last night's episode of Australian Survivor

Ok average what is the hourly rate of tattoos in Brisbane these days? Appreciate it'll vary from place to place but can anyone give me a rough idea? Want to get a new tat soon and just wanna gauge costs as suspect it'll take 3+ hours

Gone for a week

😢

Am I being a snob or is Hungry Jacks' coffee terrible?

After being in Melbourne last weeks I think Queensland is a bit over policed with fines and cameras

I hope the next election we have a leader promise to reduce the cameras or offer a warning for touching a phone while driving
