I bought 200g of olives to make with pasta.

I got home and realised they were not pitted (they had been slit on the side - but seed still intact).

30 minutes of drudgery later I know I will not make that mistake again.

It is a bit cliche, but I just bought myself a typewriter. I am ridiculously excited to get it.

Any cat people have advice on how to feed a cat wearing a cone? Poor Tommy had a bleedy toe and he's not allowed to lick it for three days.

He's currently walking into things and complaining, and looking sad.

Thank you everyone who replied to my query about puzzling fam behaviour.

All your insights were so good and helped me understand so much.

Thank you again. 😚😚😚

ok, I need the collective wise mind of the dt to help explain this weird behaviour

my MIL insists on visiting her sick son in hospital every single day, sick son, my BIL, has had terrible cardiac disease which required many months in hospital

So MIL would visit every day. She's not a caring person, If someone is sick she says, "I don't like that you/they are sick. " She doesn't do any actual tending. She is narcissistic , diagnosed.

Her visits became a burden on the son and the doctors told her to stop coming as son needed undisturbed rest. She still went to visit.

I just can't figure what she got out of it. Why did she do it?

She impeded his recuperation. Her visiting usually meant no one else could visit as visiting was restricted. She complained about going.

If the goal was to make people think she was nice and caring it didn't work.

maybe she need reassurance from her son ( yes, that is fucked up )

I am at a loss as to why she did it.

Arts Tasmania have writing awards open for submissions and I submitted 3 stories (2 of my kids horror and one unpublished one). The likelihood of winning is slim, but I can't help think about what winning might do for my bonafides. And then I start thinking about what I'd say as an acceptance speech.

I've always had that habit of thinking about everything that could happen if things turn out as desired (rarely ever do). It's something I wish I could do and then forget about until the time comes up.

Does anyone else do this though? Plan for something and then get excited/think about the possibilities? I feel like I jinx myself by doing it.

I've finally installed a Lemmy app on the iPhone. Without an app I kept not coming here unless I was on a computer. I don't know which one is the best so I picked mlem which looks pretty decent so far.

Ding ding coming to you live from the 11 tram!

I guess it was only a matter of time before false spring was going to end and I'd be putting the heater back on.

I finally got the last document needed to complete my tax return today 🙂 It is now complete, submitted and I just have to wait for my return 💰

Finished work and was absolutely exhausted when I came home.

Had a wash and turned on the heater and fell asleep in bed for an hour and a half I think.

Tuesdays are so full on. Thankfully tomorrow will be a lot less eventful at work and I can focus on some light manual labor so to speak.

Alright. Experiment: running to the gym at lunchtime. Will I end up feeling good, or fucked beyond recognition?

I brought a towel so I can have a shower afterwards.

Let's see how it plays out.

I am outside and I can just stand here without blowing away. I'm not even wearing concrete shoes. It's quite nice. So quiet.

Oh this is almost too good to be true: scary shit

If Nasa called you and said "We want to send you up, BUT we can only do it on a Boeing spacecraft" you'd say "No thanks!"

Morning everyone. I remember seeing no rain on the forecast for today, but it can't get to warm today with how yesterday was, right?

yay, I finished the display cabinet and loaded most of my shells. The biggest one, a baler from Western Australia couldn't even fit, and my boxes and books won't fit either. So in the big dresser they go

Pakige day! My new kitchen sponges are on board for delivery. I'm pretty sure I bought more interesting things too, I just can't remember what.
