Everything I've eaten today has tasted increasingly weird. I think Covid might have finally got me?

Can anyone tell me how to open this damn toilet to put one of the blue blocks in? Neither myself nor the wife can. The lid raises like a cm or 2 but feels like itβs being held down somehow.
Unscrew the flush button
good idea but it only rotates a tiny amount and wont turn any more. Even with the buttons pressed down.
If it's plastic, try squeezing the sides (ends towards each other) together firmly as you pull directly up

the kinda day where ya just wanna full-on Nadja what the bloody fuck buggering
yesterday I noticed my little right toe has no voluntary movement but still has feeling. I tore the tendon many years ago and it's been iffy since but this kinda made me a little sad. I've had that toe for a long time and it's like a part of me.
The little toes are nothing but a pain. Having said that I still wouldn't like to lose them but fuck they need to stay away from furniture legs.
years ago my husband bought a little iron table and put it next to the sofa. I think I broke my other little toe at least twice before I moved that table far away from me.
"THAT NEEDS TO LEAVE" π
That's all I need to say and it's gone.
My fault for being clumsy and i'm mean if I want to move his design choices. π

G (pictured with the teeth out) has been doing better since he's gotten dog chemo. Although he's not cured, he has his energy back and is eating again :) 
Naaaaaaw! Glad he's feeling better :)

I'm standing under it.
Beautiful!
I love them. So cool. π
I casually mentioned to the man that I was cleaning the sound system and behind it and he said not to use the vacuum on the speakers. Oh no of course not i replied. π³
Oh O. How does he think I've been cleaning them all these years
I also googled it because I thought he was being pedantic and he is right.
Karcher / gerni.
He gives them a dust maybe once a fortnight. I think that's all he thinks it needs. I regularly suck the dog hairs off that sub woofer with the vac. I will change my ways.
sticky lint roller? Duster?
I just used the sticky lint roller. JRT hairs are like pine needles.

Labubus are ugly. Great, more landfill.
Up there with funko pops.
Yep. Up there with Hello Kitty anything imo. Though I did quite like the Hello Kitty sporran I saw on sale in an op shop once. Edit - it is entirely to take neoteny entirely too far.
Hahahaha, this fully made my check myself with my love of Mofusand. Iβll take comfort in that Iβm not lining up at 4am or paying someone $100 to line up for me just to buy it.
YES. Omg I don't understand this hype, they're not even So Ugly It's Cute. And it's across all ages as well.
Fantastic. Great move. Well done Sussssssan.
she's going to be the new soft face of the fascists, the face that shows they believe in DEI and are nothing like Trumpists. All lies of course.
then around election time they will drop her
Definitely a glass cliff situation if there was one. The votes were fairly close and the party is facing a lot of instability...
lol. Just reading up on that name change:
"she shifted her expression energy to a nine because the soul vibration is the same".
hrmm

Guys, I've just realised its ONLY ONE MONTH until the shortest day of the year. Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhh ...
I got in some morning exercise walking to Eastland and back to pick up my new glasses. I am now officially an Old Woman with both multifocals and reading glasses.
Oh welcome to a new world of constantly having the wrong glasses on!
It is at least very obvious if I have the reading glasses on and look up at anything else. It might help keep me focused on my reading, I certainly can't focus on anything else. I'll probably only wear the reading glasses when I am sitting on the lounge reading, the multi-focals are good for everything else.
