    Put a cat to sleep yesterday. Feel like I’m being a massive fuckoff inconvenience for booking in some annual for the next couple days, yet I know it’ll be worse if I go in.

    Not sure what the point of this comment was, but fuck it, sometimes you’ve gotta vent.

      You just lost a member of your family. Take time off to grieve and vent all you need to

      Oh I’m so sorry - it’s just the hardest thing to do. We had to do that a while back and it was just awful. Kept expecting her to pop up around the house for ages afterwards.

      Take the time off without guilt, the loss and grief are not small things even if others might think it shouldn’t matter. It’s better to give yourself the time and space than to force yourself through. Condolences for your loss.

      It’s the hardest decision to make. Vent away, we understand. And take the days off too. Grief is not limited to losing human friends and family, these furry buggers are more family than my blood relatives.

    Felt like the pits at 7:30am but a bit more sleep, water, Nurofen and sweating it out and I am getting better again. The sun is absolutely helping. It’s an automatic immune booster.

    Airing the house out to clear the cloud of sickly miasma that’s built up over the week. Chugging so much liquid. Please let this be the beginning of the end, I can’t take any more of the coughing and sinus headaches. Was coughing to the point of almost throwing up yesterday. My neighbours must hate me 😬

    Still out in the CBD. Crazy my MIL and I are so similar. I wish she was my mum, she’s put in the work to turn herself around, while having cptsd. A true inspiration to me.

    I love her so much. She’s just such an amazing person. I feel so blessed by the universe, after 28 years of shit, to have these people in my life.

    So we finally have a bedroom door. (previous apartment didn’t have one)

    Except we can’t close it.

    The balls of fur totalling 15kg would scream at the door to be let in, once let in, they would park themselves on my wife and I, one on her side, one on top in between us, one on my side - trapping us in place.

    Heading home today from my house and dog sitting duties. I thought I was going to be back in a few months for longer but it seems like my parents are going to cancel their upcoming Vegas trip.

    This does open the door of possibility for me… I could go somewhere. I shall ponder. Ponder I shall.

    So much for plans for the day. Boyo regretting decisions to drink much rocket fuel punch, then eat special brownies and pavement. Colourful words and contusions.

    Today saw a person wearing an oodie in Kmart, and someone in pyjamas in the supermarket. I think we have all collectively decided fuckit, it’s too cold.

    I start work Tuesday (for some unknown reason).

    Tomorrow it’s haircut/beard trim, meal prep, shopping and playing with fluffybutt because it’s going to be weird being away from the house for approx 11 hours a day.

    By 8pm tonight I was ready for bed. So I thing my sleep clock is back to normal.

    Goodnight all ❤️

      It’s good to start with a short week. So much new stuff to learn, and new faces, and where everything is. You’ll be wrecked by Friday anyway. And then week 2 will seem that bit easier as you start to know stuff.
