My highly intelligent cat woke up from his nap, walked past his (full) food bowl and came to tell me urgently that he was HUNGRY and he needed to be FED or he would WASTE AWAY AND STARVE.
He would last maybe 10 minutes in the wild.
Tommy:
Oh, but look at that gorgeous mane and regal expression. Sir Tom clearly needs FRESH food that he can SEE YOU SERVE because anything else could be a poisoning attempt on the king
He needs an attendant to watch him eat. Perhaps he might choke? Who am I to question it, His Fluffiness is clearly in charge.
I have a Tommy too. He’s, um, 32 and full of polystuffing but 😺🧸
Oh Tommy. Does no one love you? You look absolutely mistreated and neglected. If you didn’t see the food go in your bowl then it obviously didn’t happen, poor boy.
He looks so bemused lol
But that’s not considered food! He wants the good stuff!
Today was good. Lots of great food and family time. Talked to my cousin’s daughter, a 4yo middle child, about Pokemon and I think she really likes me now :D
Got my birthday presents, one of which is a book called ‘Mickey’ and it’s about a cat, so I’m stoked.
10/10 day, would do again lol
Knock off oodie update. Washed it. Gave it two spins and popped it on the rack in front of the heater yesterday. No need to spin dry - it’s basically dry this morning. The cuffs are a bit damp but I’m just gonna roll them.
This has been your PSA from snuggled land …
So I spent 15 hours in bed only to struggle to get maybe 8 hours sleep? Jeez. I just couldn’t get my brain to calm down. I wasn’t raging or anything, but just constantly distracted and unable to chill.
My mental health feels ok… so I wonder if the COVID’s messing with my brain?
Yeah I had nightmares, anxiety it was terrible from COVID.
Glad it’s not just me. Did you find anything to help? Or just had to face it?
Just faced it. I put on soothing podcasts/audiobooks and just dozed. Kept reminding myself it was just the inflammation and it would get better.
Yeah good call. I think I was trying to fight it all night which obviously got me nowhere.
It fucked with mine in a big way. Felt like I couldn’t think properly.
Yeah, I feel that. Assuming none of your usual coping mechanisms worked either?
Nah they didn’t. I had to distract myself with some dumb tv show or YouTube
Yeah I tried that for a few hours but ended up feeling worse cause I think I THOUGHT I should be asleep. Might just chuck on some spa music tonight and not even try to go to sleep but just plan on listening to music in the dark.
I recorded my little guitar jam on my phone yesterday just so I could listen back to it. It’s actually good and I’m turning it into a track.
It’s kind of about being fucked over by that guy who called me “family” and then turned on me for no reason.
It’s cathartic.
I read the last sentence wrong and thought you were talking about the pope
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, he’s a fucking motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, he’s a total motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, fucking fuck the motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucking popethe old school queers have been having tremendous fun with that on tumblr. The eggs, not so much “omg guys it’s so bad that he’s calling us this, it’s not a joke”
I kindly reminded them that I pre-date the AIDS crisis, the pope calling me a faggot doesn’t even register past background radiation.
I hope to not wake up until midday. Goodnight everyone 🐱

Best of luck in your efforts against wakefulness!

Maybe the potato thing was a rosti - the scandi take on hash browns or latkes. Rosti are super yummy.

Fingers crossed it can be mitigated somehow, and things can settle or he can go somewhere higher support

they got a bunch of people through lockdown. You can get them at Aldi in the frozen section.

Oof, I do find most Indian is expensive to eat out for one person as the curries are really expensive if you want to try a couple but then one serve is enough for two people. You don’t get as many set meals or single-dish meals for dinner unlike Chinese or Southeast Asian places. Bring on more South Indian restaurants with thaalis! That’s how Indian curries should be enjoyed imo 😋
The sky is so beautiful, sunrise and most the stars are still showing.
It’s gonna be a stunning day out there. Can’t wait for that sun

best warm pjs and oodie are on
Don’t forget the Uggs!
I have slipper socks with cat’s paw tread and ears.
Flying to Melbourne this morning, boy are my arms going to be tired.
Going to see my favourite comedian who was originally not coming to Brisbane… But then all of about 48 hours after we committed to tickets and accommodation in Melbourne announced Brisbane dates too. Funny joke, this is why he’s my favourite comedian.
Jokes on him though - I’m still going to go to Melbourne and get me a parmi, and then I’m going to see him in Brisbane too. Now who’s laughing? 😎
a parmi
Get thee to the outer darkness, you heathen. In this town it’s a ‘parma’ and collectively we will all die on this hill.
The real State Of Origin is Parmi versus Parma.
I mean obviously you guys are wrong, but it’s neat to argue about.
Bruh we’re gonna have you arrested on landing by border security
I volunteer to belt his feet with cabanossi. Er Fritz, kabanna, Devon … crud.
parmi
Triggered
I’m sorry, I don’t speak the local dialect. It’s a, how you say, chicken breast with crumbs? Or as the French say - le parmi. And chips on top. Always on top, or the side. Never under.
You will learn or go hungry. A schnitzel with tomato sauce, ham and grilled cheese on top, chips on the side and an excuse of a salad - this is the glory of a parma.
I hate it when they put it on top of the chips, like wth
deleted by creator
Parmi yes. Chips go under though.
The Royal Melbourne disagrees 😎
Last Parma I had was at The Standard in Fitzroy and it sucked. Try the Union Club or The Napier, also in Fitzroy.

Glad you’re feeling better and had a night out 🙂

The song is coming along. It’s been a while since I’ve written something whose foundation is guitar.
What I usually do is stop working on it after an hour or so, make a copy to listen to and come back the next day. Less likely to get too caught in the details.
HEAVY FOG careful erryone :)
Could barely see 200m ahead during this morning’s 6am.
Trip was otherwise uneventful. At least 2 people on their phones whilst in motion, and one without headlights.
Went to the Coburg Farmers Market today (we haven’t been there in ages) specifically to get Temple Road Wellness Blend Chai. Miniest absolutely loves it and it’s great when you’re feeling a bit off colour. Can’t resist buying soaps, it’s one of my weaknesses, so I bought a rose geranium & grapefruit one and a lavender & peppermint one. Aside from that there wasn’t much of interest to me specifically. Elder loves the Gorgeous George probiotics stuff, and there used to always be a stall there, but we discovered that he sold the business to someone (Mumma Made) who will be at the Essendon Farmers Market tomorrow. Funny coincidence was Mr P already said that he wouldn’t mind checking that one out tomorrow, so Elder is really excited for that. He loves the chilli hommus and I love the beetroot kraut and the basil pesto 🤤😋 I can see this is going to be dangerous! I like farmers markets a little too much lol… Sometimes I think that if I had some good bread, cheeses, nice simple hommus and pesto type dips, some pickled vegetables or kimchi or sauerkraut and odd seasonal fruits and vegetables, that I could just live off endless variations of that stuff for the rest of my life.
