Miss Meow was velcro overnight. She’s happily snoozing in her own bed now the heating is on, so I’m putting it down to weather.

I am currently pinned down by a snoring void.

It depends - if I give up use of my left arm entirely to provide an appropriately supportive pillow they are tucked away. If I claim the use of my arm she needs to use one leg as a support brace and things get very pointy when that happens.

The sun has now liquified and is falling from the sky. My vague plans to do some gardening this afternoon have definitely been shelved.

Mr Woof pushed me into second walkies. It was the right call, but it is definitely on the chilly side tonight.

I have been looking at a lot of real estate listings recently and was complaining about too much grey. I think I found an antidote.

So much brown

This is not a good night for it. Do you have backup heating options?

I had a dream that I bought a house which was perfect, except for the fact that it was in USA and the front yard was decorated in red, white and blue with multiple American flags. I was worrying the neighbours would be upset when I removed them. Then for some reason I was in a cemetery across the road from the house, which was very busy with multiple funerals and some sort of market/day of the dead festival event happening.

It was an improvement on my standard dream of random things stopping me from getting to work on time and also preventing me from calling in to let them know. They tend to feature lots of ludicrous scenarios. In one my taxi turned into a donkey for some reason, which was being held up by roadworks. In another the car I was in was unable to complete a river crossing, forcing me to swim and then get lost in a jungle. American flags and funerals is definitely a lot better.

If you find one let me know, the neighbour’s blackberry thicket is out of control again.

Mine should grow over winter, but have so many critters eager to eat them that the plants often don’t get established. I planted some seeds a while ago, I need to go out and see if I have any that managed to sprout. I’m definitely a long way from actual pods even if they have survived.

Strongest link - organisational skills & the ability to create systems

Weakest link - social skills, including all abilities that allow me to be in positions where my strengths can be usefully employed ☹️

Be prepared with a beanie for when the weather turns cold unexpectedly.

I have decided today is the day to buy a lottery ticket (an event that only happens once every few years). If I win 100 million in Poweball tonight I will buy all DT pets a treat. Plus some extra termites for Nellie.

I have managed to find myself one of the few jobs that allow you to deal with people and not be polite - in fact sometimes being abrupt and rude can be an advantage! Being able to cut people off and focus single mindedly on getting the information you need is an asset in emergency situations.

A sign of what, that’s the question. Hopefully not that I am about to inadvertenly move to USA.

I have long hair which is definitely a useful fidget toy, I don’t think I’d know what to do with my hands if I cut it short now. At the moment I can hold on to the end of my ponytail behind my back. pull it forward to tuck under my chin, or tie it into literal knots. Being able to run my hands over my head and go mmm, velvet… just doesn’t seem as versatile. Probably looks less silly though.

It could be that. If it comes true I will claim my place as a true prophet. And I just looked up when the Day of the Dead is and it’s only a few days before the presidential election, it definitely all fits!

Oh, that is not fun. I was on it the other day and experienced the once car per green light entry system for the first time, then got to sit in very slow traffic banked up from the Greensborough Hwy exit.

What a terrible shock, I did not win Powerball. At least I am not alone, no one else won either. Sorry pets, unfortunately you shall have to remain treatless ☹️

I usually figure the chance of someone randomly giving me a winning ticket are not that different to the chance of winning by buying one, so I choose to save my money instead. But occassionally I feel I should buy a ticket, just in case all the laws of physics and mathematics are just for show and we are living in some Matrix like simulation or in a fake world created by some sort of deity, who has decided due to my absolute wonderfulness that I should be rewarded with riches the next time I buy a ticket. Every time I discover nope, the statistics were right.

Amazing plan, I’ll do that for next week. All those people at work with their $50 a share syndicate and their “but you’ll feel so awful if we win” will be so jealous.

After a couple of years of self-imposed junk food ban I decided to stop for KFC on the way home. The electronic order board thingy had to be poked a few times before it deigned to take my order but otherwise worked well. But I noticed no one else that came in after me used them and just ordered at the counter. Was I doing the weird thing, or were they?

The wrap seemed smaller than I remember and much more cabbagey. The chips were undersalted and lacking even a hint of crunch. A bit underwhelming and I’ll be happy to abstain from fast food for another few years I think.

I did not know wings (wicked or not) were a thing at KFC. I am afraid my menu knowledge is limited and I just looked for a picture of something that looked vaguely familiar🤣
