Looks like I've just made my first post ever! 😅🪭 Good morning and goodnight lovely people of the daily thread 🧵🪡

A study of Pepper in packing paper. These make it look far calmer than it was.

Tax time

Dentist complete. Have retained all teeth

Reference and police checks are underway for the new role. All goes well should have an offer shortly.

Excited, cause it's something new. Nervous cause it's something new. Anxious, cause I really don't want to meet new people.

Lucky Gibson has a vet appointment tomorrow. She's feeling a bit lousy poor Fluffball.

Took the day off work because fuck it why not.

Alfie has let me know that he plans on releasing books about the Grave Injustices That Cats Face, his first will be highlighting a particularly grievous instance that affects cats worldwide:

Mum Had Ham and She Didn't Give Me Any! (Okay, She Gave Me a Bit, But I Want MORE).

He feels it will be a Sunday Times Best-seller.

I have Seether by Veruca Salt stuck in my head this morning. No idea why.

Not complaining, takes me back to my uni days, maybe my brain is feeling nostalgic.

Well that’s enough news for today. Clive Palmer has a new political party, called Trumpets of Patriots. No this is not a Beetota advocate headline.

What aggrevates me is that if you agree to do something, actually fucking follow through.

If you don't want to, then just say so, instead of fucking me around for days.

Fucks sake.

Some people don't understand that they're fucking with someone's life.

A lot of people in at work early, someone's playing music from their room and the sound is travelling to me. Usually not so noisy so early I don't know what's up today.

To counter it I'm playing Dua Lipa's Houdini before I go outside.

Wish I could print out my brain. Dreamt a manuscript/fresco I'd like to attempt painting, but seriously do not have time right now! Scribbled notes and crossed fingers for future memory it is.

dear lord the internet is full of americans discovering "great new ways of growing food" that are just standard good practises.

Night night

good people, normal people, usually self question and self blame and start to think that maybe they are the one who is narcissistic

sure, people who are victimised by narcissists might end up with psychological injuries but that's not the same as being narcissistic

here is a video by a therapist, that I watch regularly, to help us affirm that we are ok https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5X2Q2dunHU

you're ok 😘😘😘 love you all

I think I need to go shopping for a humorous coffee mug. The DT has inspired me.

I’m off to the dentist. Back shortly

Brain dump swept up.

Person walking around co-working office with no shoes on. I've got no issue if you take your shoes off under your desk, but then walking around the place with no shoes, nope. It's a workplace, not your home.

Much less stress in the kitchen. Made a kickass mushroom and pea curry with cashew cream, and finally cooked up the cabbage (with possibly too much of ajwain seeds). Everything is clean and tidy and I don't feel so overwhelmed. Success!

I'm going to have another crack at Juice... 25% of the way through and not that impressed, seems like a lot of heavy handed exposition atm. But I'll keep going

E: nice to listen to even 2 minutes of rain, so calming ☺️

On the subject of things that should really be taught in school, one of my top requests would be Identification and Management of Narcissists.

I've recently had someone go into defend me against a narcissist abuser in my life, and all the defender has managed to do is become a target himself and escalate the narcissist's rage towards me.

So I won't be so easy with the treats anymore. It makes fluffy tums sore.

Today I'll be cleaning the top shelf of my pantry. I wonder what forgotten treasures I'll find.
