oh no, you take care and get better soon
Brutal!
Rest up man! That sucks hairy balls!
Oh, that totally sucks!
So we're back to thinking 'is this worth getting covid for?' before we do anything again.... yay.
A study of Pepper in packing paper. These make it look far calmer than it was.
What a stunner!!
Looks like I've just made my first post ever! 😅🪭 Good morning and goodnight lovely people of the daily thread 🧵🪡
Good Morning! Thank you for posting! ✨
No problem! I was strangely nervous for some reason 🤷🏼♀️
Dentist complete. Have retained all teeth
Reference and police checks are underway for the new role. All goes well should have an offer shortly.
Excited, cause it's something new. Nervous cause it's something new. Anxious, cause I really don't want to meet new people.

I feel that. Deep in my soul.
Alfie has let me know that he plans on releasing books about the Grave Injustices That Cats Face, his first will be highlighting a particularly grievous instance that affects cats worldwide:
Mum Had Ham and She Didn't Give Me Any! (Okay, She Gave Me a Bit, But I Want MORE).
He feels it will be a Sunday Times Best-seller.
My cats will write the foreword, and give it a five star review!
Ya gotta pay the tax everytime you open the fridge these days.
I have Seether by Veruca Salt stuck in my head this morning. No idea why.
Not complaining, takes me back to my uni days, maybe my brain is feeling nostalgic.
Well that’s enough news for today. Clive Palmer has a new political party, called Trumpets of Patriots. No this is not a Beetota advocate headline.
I really hope he fails in spectacular fashion, there’s no place in Australia for a trump like party to exist.
Also I’m sick of his ads on tv.
Edit: Just to add he was forced to use this name because he failed to register his United Party name in time.
Lucky Gibson has a vet appointment tomorrow. She's feeling a bit lousy poor Fluffball.
Took the day off work because fuck it why not.
What aggrevates me is that if you agree to do something, actually fucking follow through.
If you don't want to, then just say so, instead of fucking me around for days.
Fucks sake.
Some people don't understand that they're fucking with someone's life.
I think I need to go shopping for a humorous coffee mug. The DT has inspired me.
I have one that says 'Have A Nice Day' on it, but when you lift it up to take a sip, there's a big middle finger being raised on the underside for the person across from you to see 🖕
It's a personal favourite.
good people, normal people, usually self question and self blame and start to think that maybe they are the one who is narcissistic
sure, people who are victimised by narcissists might end up with psychological injuries but that's not the same as being narcissistic
here is a video by a therapist, that I watch regularly, to help us affirm that we are ok https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5X2Q2dunHU
you're ok 😘😘😘 love you all
I’m off to the dentist. Back shortly
dear lord the internet is full of americans discovering "great new ways of growing food" that are just standard good practises.
their mindset and every day language usage is infected by advertising and now internet videos
it's not that bad here, yet
Wish I could print out my brain. Dreamt a manuscript/fresco I'd like to attempt painting, but seriously do not have time right now! Scribbled notes and crossed fingers for future memory it is.
A lot of people in at work early, someone's playing music from their room and the sound is travelling to me. Usually not so noisy so early I don't know what's up today.
To counter it I'm playing Dua Lipa's Houdini before I go outside.
Night night
On the subject of things that should really be taught in school, one of my top requests would be Identification and Management of Narcissists.
I've recently had someone go into defend me against a narcissist abuser in my life, and all the defender has managed to do is become a target himself and escalate the narcissist's rage towards me.
Narcissists in my experience are expert manipulators. The way they can turn things is quite breathtaking. I'm sorry you and your defender are going through this.
expert manipulators
This is my experience too.
Today I'll be cleaning the top shelf of my pantry. I wonder what forgotten treasures I'll find.
Person walking around co-working office with no shoes on. I've got no issue if you take your shoes off under your desk, but then walking around the place with no shoes, nope. It's a workplace, not your home.
Not been feeling too well lately, resting and watching old stuff.
Shows like Extreme Cheapskates are just fake rage bait. Yeah, a woman with a full face of makeup, false lashes and an entire set of false nails is so frugal she uses dryer lint for makeup removal. She drives an SUV to the supermarket to beg for meat scraps. Pull the other one!
I hope that episode of Adults Adopting Adults was faker than it looked though. I’m aware that these shows are very scripted and heavily edited but Danny was seriously concerning. I actually feel like that situation was one of the rare ones the camera didn’t overplay.
Extreme Cheapskates makes me feel yucky inside. I watched one where this dude teaches people how to cook gourmet on a budget but he didn't tell them until after that he'd foraged herbs from the side of the road, dumpster dived the local seafood joint for scraps of lobster tails and picked out half drunk bottles of wine from the bins at the beach and filtered them through his homemade goon bag.
