welp, today I learned first hand just how hard it is to get vanilla slice custard off a cat
Cleaning the house top to bottom. It's a big place and it's so easy to ignore until it's too messy.
Not exactly exciting, but necessary
my place hasn't been cleaner for a long time but it's untidy because of all the sorting and chucking out of stuff and the furniture restoring , drives me nuts
so I suppose I'm saying, how can people take just a few hours to clean the whole house? I seem to do so much housework but it's never clean and tidy

Google Maps vs Royal Parade
Yes, it's always a silly experience having voice navigation on down Royal Pde...
Went to a cardio class where we had to accumulate distance on the bikes and rowers as a team. My team came second last, but the team that came last had their bike reset the metres in the one of the rounds. Was a good workout regardless. Feel better than I would have if I didn't do anything :)
Your team was way ahead of mine don't worry
wiggles on bed alongside a pair of wiggly cats
They got breakfast when i had a five am pee, but they managed to swindle a second breakfast on Friday so now they're being extra coquettish in hopes of a repeat performance
It’s a slippery slope. We fed ours at the table once and the pestering then continued for years
Another eBay item sold. If my postage calculations are correct I am now $12 richer in money and one shoe-box size richer in space.
I got scattered sleep last night and probably only slept for five hours. Today was meant to be assignment day. We shall seize the day regardless.
I felt like I got the same amount despite trying to go to bed early last night.
Didn’t feel rested when I woke up.
Cheerful morning people should be shot and fed to the early bird
I'm gonna be cheerful if all my body parts are working as they should. Ya gotta take the small wins.
I’m not a morning person, some of my friends are very cheerful in the morning and as much as I love them I always want to strangle them at times.
I was once at a multi day camping event and some guy had the audacity to skip to the breakfast tent. Outrageous!
Totally outrageous.
No one has the right to be so cheerful without a cup of coffee.
Oh the audacity!
Jinx! I've been watching trashy police cam vids and all I have been thinking the past few days is Vicki Pollard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zExc6SK4kpA
Great minds think alike, and foolish ones seldom differ 🫡

Finally found all my micro USB cables, and a watch I've got looking for about a month or so.
My girlfriend will collect things up in a grocery bag and dump it in the front room, or even on my desk, when she wants to clean and feel productive.
Unfortunately that just moves a bunch of unrelated things into a bag together that becomes harder to go through and I lose things because nothing is in a place that makes sense anymore
Reading this is making me twitchy.
I am big into storing things in a systematic way so everything is easy to find and nothing is lost, my husband likes everything to be out or maybe he is just lazy
My girlfriend wants to be like this but it doesn't fully happen. She also goes and cleans up all my stuff when the back part of the house is a complete mess and that's all her mother's stuff that could mostly be gotten rid of
Rule in our house is if it's not yours don't fucking touch it. Make the other person clean that shit.
Dishes? fine. Old beer/coke cans? Fine. Work bag? In his office. Paperwork / watch / gym stuff? "go put your shit away dude"
Ugh Mr P does the grocery bag thing too, just takes everything he feels is superfluous to the room, bag it up or toss it into random containers and dump it in a cupboard or under a bed. I hate it as it then becomes a separate more involved job to go through all the containers and bags and put stuff away like it should have been.
That was the situation with my watch. There are two places I usually put my watches and it was in neither of them so I couldn't find it. Then I'm looking for a USB cable that will actually transfer data and there it is in a bag with all this other stuff
I had 2 cable bags and a small container in my cupboard all full of random cables I've collected over time, and when ol mate was rifling through my cupboard he tipped them all over the place, and I don't know where anything is. And it's even more annoying because I don't actually know everything I had in them, so it's difficult to replace. Until I need it of course, and realise "hey that connector looks familiar, I'm sure I have one somewhere!"
Good mornin', starshine
