Just get myself in a position that the pain in my arm is reduced to a roar, then Cat-Cat rings for service*, and I have to move and try and settle myself again. Sigh. *scratches the carpet, he doesn’t really meow.

My neck is taking instruction from trump I think, full on hostilities again today. Going to wash my fur now that postie has come at last, so wish me luck… can’t see how I’m going to scrub my back.

MORRISONS LISKEARD today Morrisons does not sell disposable barbecues. Like most major UK supermarkets, Morrisons enacted a nationwide ban to pull disposable barbecues from all of its stores and online inventory due to environmental protection and extreme wildfire risk concerns.

A 24-year old man has apparently drowned in Laguna Beach in spite of several people on shore yelling to him that the stock market has hit an all time high.

"Dr" Phil out there hawking a "sleep aide" called "Relaxium" is the most 1800s snake oil salesman cosplay I have seen in a while. Good grief 😂😂😂

I asked Visa to increase my limit slightly, I was promised a decision by Monday last. *crickets* (Wednesday now) They don’t even have to type a letter anymore, the computer just fires off an email. Can’t even do that to say yay or nay. 😡

Cats, cats, cats. What does the last screen of your camera roll look like?

Want to change the bedding today, but dunno if my neck/arm is going to like that. I’ll wait and see if I get a truce like yesterday morning. Coconut curry later, I’m only really feeling like SE Asian flavours atm. Not so unusual for me, but I’m closed off to other stuff.

If I told a Dr, Nurse, or other medic to tell the next tech to “Swap out the LopTx and E-W diode if the flyback cap looks deformed”, they would tell me to sod off. So why do they think their patients must act as proxy messengers? Really pissed off with it.

Morning. Awful night, was still trying to get painfree enough to doze off at 3:30. Think I’m going to try and sleep this morning after I’ve taken the big shovel of meds.

It’s glitching in this place like it’s never glitched before Cause we’re gonna boogie Oogie Oggie ‘Til you just can’t boogie no more No more boogie

Worried my budget into some semblance of order and made necessary payments. Now I can try and get to sleep, except that Cat-cat has nicked my spot on the bed while I was calculating. (Probably not as furry as his side, although I regularly de-fur it.)

This is where I post from.

All I'm saying is there are no donut parasites

Talk with 99 people who have no interest in me? What is this my high school reunion.

Update: group chats can now host up to 100 members.

If I can help one person overcome optimism then it’ll all be worth it.

Reservoir cats?

Need to have a freezer stocktake anyway, see how I can economise in the next 2 weeks. There’s lots in there, just haven’t got any clear idea on combining things. My grocery orders have been too haphazard trying to find stuff that won’t superheat me in the kitchen.

Stirfry was boring. I suppose I’m tired of it now. Maybe something coconutty tomorrow? I’ll see how I feel and if this pain in still improved, although it’s worse now, but not mind numbing like yesterday.

This is Lyn’s hound that is looking for a claw across its nose. I thought maybe it’s some variant of spaniel, not so sure now. Just wish it wouldn’t bark so much.

… and it’s stopped. Jolly good. Don’t want to risk a flood. 🙄

There is the tiniest rain shower outside right now (first in what seems like YEARS), and I am sitting here huffing the petrichor like there’s no tomorrow.

Thomas(ina) at the filling station. He/she is slowly becoming more brave. Usually waiting till I’m asleep to have a look.

What an afternoon to choose for the community Bbq, cake competition, and general merriment…. The first time in weeks that we have any rain, light as it is, I don’t think the unusual cakes will be happy.

Done my chores and recycling. Something of what I’ve done this morning has “pinged” my neck and the pain has eased a lot. Hope this state of affairs remains, or at least is repeatable. I’ll do the stirfry, got lots of veggies that need to be used up. I think the cute AI kitty cook videos…

Nice chilli omelette for breakfast. 😋😋
