I find myself wandering around the haus muttering, “I can’t find the thing that does the thing.”

I’m sitting in the riverside car park in the city and where is the traffic. All I can hear, gloriously, is birds and birds and birds. And I scored a shady spot. But I forgot my corp cc so this morning’s parking for this sucky event is on me.

Today is going to be a bit of a SCHITTehaus day For Reasons, but that will make blobbing on the couch tonight all the sweeter.

Didn’t have a single drink all night but got home after 11 so now I’m flopped in bed like a beached fish, reeling at the thought of getting up and going to work*. Late nights slay me.
*AFAIK fish don’t reel at the thought of getting up and going to work. And don’t say reel to them: it’s triggering.

Went to see The Church last night. They played a blinder but the highlight for me was when Steve Kilby said, “This next one was definitely not a hit so now’s your chance if you need to get a drink or do a wee wee.” And then later when people left after Under the Milky Way, “See ya, Philistines.”

#amazingreallifetransportupdates Raced to the other stop and hopped on a different bus by the skin of my teeth. (No skin on my teeth: I have a good brushing routine.)

OR bus broke down. Giving it two more mins before I have to walk directly east - into the sun! Without my sunnies! - and hopefully nab another bus.

Either the bus is running late (possible) or was running super early and I missed it (looking increasingly probable). Why doesn’t this route have live tracking??

Came out without sunnies as will hardly need them. Deeply regretting this while standing at bus stop and looking eastwards for arriving transport.

Sitting at the tyre shop waiting for The Mighty Etts to get two new front tyres. Reading New York magazine with about a quarter of my brain while the other three quarters tries to fend off the blast of morning tv overlaid with the music coming from the workshop. #migraineheaven

Picked up The Cat’s ashes today and took some thank you flowers to the vet. Everything was so thoughtfully packaged up and presented, including snips of his dear fur in a lovely little glass vial. Now at home slurping wine and watching Celebrity Traitors.

Had one of my sleep disorder episodes last night. Leapt out of bed shrieking, got tangled up in the bed covers, ended up banging my head on the Chester Draws and got carpet burns on my knees <insert joke here>. One of the slightly more dramatic ones, then.

Keep hearing the ghost of The Cat about the place. Little noises that I associate with his furry, naggy little self.

I’m eating chocolate and fig toast. Not a mad fan of figs but this is okay.

I took today ORFF work to tackle the last of the weeding. It is DONE. Of course, the bits of garden I weeded the weekend before last have had rain followed by sunshine so the weeds are mounting a rearguard action over there.

Sometimes when the haus is clean and tidy and the kitchen benches are clear and the dishwasher is humming I walk around the place like An Actual Adult Who Knows What Is Going On. #anactualadultwhoknowswhatisgoingon

Dream: the doctor has nabbed me for a Pap smear but instead of a speculum is using plastic forks from a picnic set. Handles side in, forch.
