big pot of minestrone is on the stove
and my hands are cold
Perfect thing for this weather!
I made corn chowder today, which looks like a pot of milky sludge… hopefully it turns out ok
I’ve never made corn chowder. Maybe I will try one day. :)
It tasted a lot better than it looked!
So one of the things I found out while cleaning out the garage was that my old childhood teddy had been left out there - and of course in a spot where it leaked 😖.
A soak and then a run through the washing machine on a gentle cycle didn’t shift the dirt, so I tried putting him in another pillowcase and running the normal cycle - which got the dirt out but also half the stuffing.
Any suggestions for repairs? I seem to remember there was a discussion recently about it.Here’s a good guide. https://www.instructables.com/Stuffed-Animal-Restoration/
However a seam ripper might be safer than an exacto knife if you have one. Pick a relatively straight/flat seam to open just to make it easy on yourself when closing him back up. I’d also recommend not wringing his skin out but rolling it in a towel and pressing that under a book to remove water, and then air drying. (Wringing can stretch out fabric and dryers can cause shrinkage or permanent shiny spots where the faux fur got flat ironed against the hot drum.)
If you feel a bit out of your depth or don’t want to take your chances you can take him to the Doll Hospital https://thedollhospital.com.au/
You can try and work out where the hole is and re-stuff him then sew him up.
There will youtube videos that show what to use an how to stuff teddy bears .
I use the top of a knitting needle to stuff toys.
Moobeans has had more painkiller/antinausea shots and has started eating a little more! Cracking open a tin of Fancy Feast also helped. Vets say it’s like feeding them McDonalds but if it gets her eating and taking her regular medication that’s fine.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Much happiness and prosperity coming your way. Also possibly a kitten of your own in the next few months. The cat distribution system has had some glitches recently, but all seems good now. I would recommend checking behind your pot plants on the balcony every few days just to be sure.
Happy birthday!

Another beautiful sunrise
Good morning friendship pals! The sun is shining(somewhere), the birds are chirping(but not so much), and HOPEFULLY my delivery is coming today. “Transferred at Sunshine West” yeah you BETTER BE.
I had a dream where robots invaded the earth so that was cool and I fully support then in their hobbies.
“Your delivery is coming today” message received. There’s construction across the road so time to look out the window every time I hear a van for the next 4 to 8 hours
Edit: Est delivery is 2:55 to 4:55 noooooo
I usually get deliveries by 1pm due to being in a good spot on the usual routes. This suffering is immense.
I ordered some sheets from Kmart almost a fortnight ago and had them redirected to my post office, but then a week ago it said it was “in transit” twice in my suburb and has never updated to say it’s arrived at my post office
Did they send it via couriers please? Every time I’ve gotten something from them they have, and couriers please has managed to fuck something up.
Nope this one’s through auspost. They did send me a heater through couriers please at the end of last month but they managed to fucking lose it so I ended up with no heater
That sounds like them. I swear they’ve never managed to deliver anything well.
One time they broke one delivery, and then broke the replacement that was sent.
Slept with my hand under my head and my wrist is feeling fucky. I guest I can tick off ‘injury while sleeping’ on the over 40 list of bullshit.
My best effort so far has been throwing my back out very badly by bending down to pick up a tea towel
Nice!! I threw mine out sneezing a while back.
I know a guy who sneezed in the shower while bending down and twisting slightly to pick up a shampoo bottle off the floor behind him, and put his back out such that he never worked again.
People are so surprised when you tell them, too. It’s like they expect you were lifting boulders or stopping a runaway bus, when it’s, nah, I just sneezed/bent down slightly. So unfair
Slept with my hand
Finally showing it some love!
It has served me well in the past, only fair I return the favour.
I have a very strong opinion about the nuclear power debate. It’s new-clear. Not nuke-you-luer, not noo-cloo-la, not newk-yah-lah.
New-clee-ah
Noo-klier
Yeah, I’m not going to call it that…
Is this 2008 again? Flashbacks to Sarah Palin…
And Shrub.
I still think the private sector is gonna RBMK the FUCK outta traralgon. I’m not saying thats a dealbreaker for me though.
Want to be my cat today. Day of napping on the couch, right in front of the heating……
Finally!
🎉

I don’t understand why I still have some residual sniffles… I was like the first one to get sick, and that happened 15 days ago, but was probably infected about 19 or 20 ago
My partner and kid both came down with something 2 weeks ago, which started with razor-blade sore throat and sniffles then progressed into a hacking cough. Although they’re both much better now, they’re still coughing and have the sniffles. There’s a few nasty viruses going around atm.
Hope you’re feeling g better soon
Got my covid booster within six months no questions asked beside my date of birth (I’m 22) and name. Apparently pharmacies don’t follow the rules? I’m only allowed to get it every 12 months lol
I’m keen to get my booster, but I think the advice is still that people under 18 shouldn’t get it unless they have specific health conditions
I had it about a month ago, and the pharmacist told me that it was a good idea to have another one in six months if I was at all high risk or needed to travel, and that some pharmacies were stricter but most aren’t.
Just say voting in this year’s logies is compulsory, who are you voting for to win the Gold Logie for Most Popular Personalty on Australian Television? Nominees are:
▪︎ Andy Lee
▪︎ Julia Morris
▪︎ Larry Emdur
▪︎ Robert Irwin
▪︎ Sonia Kruger
▪︎ Tony Armstrong
▪︎ Asher KeddieI dont know who half these people are, and the other half I dont know what shows they even have on.

Going to go Andy Lee, a favourite of mine.
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
I’ll just pay the fine and not cast a vote. I would also match the fine amount with a charity donation to make sure Julia Morris doesn’t win.
Obviously Tony Armstrong. Talented, charismatic, seems to genuinely not be a dick.
But I would never actually vote.
I like Tony too. He seems real. Not showbiz fake.
