Had to clip Mickey's claws a bit - he kept getting them stuck and then not being able to release it and yowling in pain. So I had my partner cuddle him with his oodie, and I used some small curved scissors and just very slightly clipped the very tips of his claws, just to remove the curve.
He did so well, no struggling or freaking out. He wasn't happy, but he wasn't afraid. He such a great cat!
I'll have to grab him a new scratchy thing and keep an eye on his claws.
Went and picked up my medical cannabis from the post office today. Very odd, showing my ID, it all being legitimate instead of meeting someone in the corner of the pub. Haven't had any in about 20 years. It is a trial to see if it helps with my chronic pain from all my climbing injuries. Also, the manual for the vaporiser gives detailed instructions of how to pack it.. In 6 different languages ...
So… yesterday while getting some good ole IT support, I tell them I have no write access is because the folder is outside of the directory (that everyone thinks it is in). Emphatically told (x 3) nope, that should not affect my permissions. Then enjoyed a mansplain back to me about where the folder was located (I know, I detailed an email to a senior 2 months ago—who had no idea what I was talking about) and walked me through their cmd force update. It wasn’t particularly patronising, but it was like I wasn’t even heard.
I mean I probably couldn’t IT help desk to save my life, but I can’t say it doesn’t hurt when I’ve done a little fun time hobbying with CLI.
But hey, small wins. At least it was fixed this time. Not like I have been waiting for two months or anything.
Here's my playlist for tonight. Starts with 50s 60s 70s 80s and 90s plus added stuff.

Goodnight everyone. Sleep well. 😘
Goodnight everyone ❤️
Visited the expensive fancy supermarket because craving olive bread. Now have much less olive bread and a belly ache.
I have a parcel which needs a signature (and won't let me change that) coming between 12:10-2:10pm
I have a dentist appointment from 1:30-2:30pm (I'll be out 1-3pm)
I reckon Mr postman Pat is gonna turn up about 10 minutes after I leave
And my post office is very strict on only allowing pickup after 4 for some reason. Even if the message that it's ready for pickup gets sent sooner, and I can literally see my parcel sitting there, they will not allow me to pick it up before 4
🙃
Edit: W E I R D. 5 minutes after posting this I got a notification from the camera somebody coming up the driveway. The usual chatty postman wasn't at my door - a new lady I've never seen before was. She left both of them, including the signature one and by the time I opened the door was already on their electric bike thingy and halfway down my driveway. I hope chatty postman didn't get sacked for being too slow, he was lovely
A few things to finialize today and it will have been a productive week of sorts.
Dentist done for now. But I have to find somewhere that will take all of my wisdom teeth out at once, and preferably so full general anaesthetic. They suggested the dental hospital because they'll do it for either free or cheap, but it's a very long waitlist, and I won't get in to see anyone until I'm a full adult with full adult responsibilities. I'd rather do it now when there's people around to help me, and I can just not speak for a week with no issues
They suggested a low cost but private clinic in the east somewhere, but she said she would have to call to see what anaesthetic they can do. Apparently they also only accept referrals for certain procedures
Cost isn't too big of an issue, since it's not on my dime for the next 6 months. Part of the reason I want it sorted ASAP
Back to Melbs today. So glad to have that swim last night. It just hits differently when there's no one there which is a bit risky. Which brings us to a rave choon.
It dawns on you.. You are potentially staring at, what could be.. Finality 1 million and one ways to die.
Slept in so late because I was having such a good sleep last night. Kept hitting snooze!
Okay Kmart has just got these really cool iridescent skull candles in, and it is taking every ounce of self-control to leave them on the shelf. I do NOT need to spend this money. 😂
Tonight's party maybe the last for a while because the man will be commencing 12 hour days 6 days a week work. Booooo.
After watching Trainwreck Woodstock 99 I got some ideas for a playlist, the moshpit (lounge room) has been vacuumed and we will be causing fucking mayhem (not too much cos I have to clean the mayhem) tonight. This is gonna be PG rated wild.🤘
I watched Alien 3 last night and it's a good movie. I think it suffered from two things: -All the production problems before and during the shoot -Being called Alien 3 and being the direct followup to Aliens
It could have worked as its own movie or as an Alien spinoff. I think people were so upset about how it undoes the ending of Aliens that it coloured their opinion on the rest of the movie.
One small nitpick though, and I can probably explain it; the Alien knew Ripley was carrying the Queen and that's why it wouldn't attack her. Why wouldn't the Alien just plaster her to a wall up in the air ducts until the Queen hatched? It was probably wasn't considered because the Alien was meant to be smaller than normal, having come from an animal. Production problems meant it kept changing size, and whilst the movie has a man sized Alien pulling people into air vents, that could have been part of the rewrites done during the shoot and wasn't scoped into the larger story.
The igs are out this year's winners
