    1 more day and I’ll have been off suboxone for a year.

    I’ll save my thoughts till tomorrow.

    Edit:

    I’ve looked at the stats. Upto 90% of people who stop taking it relapse within 4 weeks and are at increased risk of death.

    12% of people remained sober at the 9 month mark.

    Fucking sobering.

    Been smoking way less, but still smoking. Funny, buying a pouch from Woolies is ~$100, buying a 20pk of Marlboro reds from my local tobacconist is $18. And if I was less lazy, the one across the road sells them for $15.

    Even more reason to quit: Marlboro is made in the USA, so I guess I’m funding not only local crime gangs, but also the USAs desire to bomb all the countries 😬😅

    Last night, I went to the movies with the boyfriend (The Drama gets 2/5 hobbits), and we were walking back to my car. I accidentally went down the wrong street and the most gorgeous orange kitty came up to us and started purring and rubbing itself on us. I wanted to take it home. Do cats typically not have collars? This one didn’t have one. It looked like an adult.

    No cat tax because we were enjoying the moment. I love my dog but I think thanks to the cat fiends here and this cat we saw, I am starting to want a cat.

    Dipping in and out of work mailbox on phone to clear out monitoring notifications. Fucking employer has sent me more goddamn emails in my two days of holidays than he has the rest of the year combined.

    Cunt is pathological and they are not getting actioned. Get a fucking hobby.

    Behold mouse trap w/ swivelling bottle with peanut butter on swivelling dowel over a bucket of water with ramp v.2.0.1

    Improvements over v1.0

    • more peanut butter

    • Soap applied to inner walls

    • Longer ramp with peanut butter.

    Worked in Melbs but was after a rat not the mouse that got in.

    Black cat angst

    I haven’t heard from the rescuer so texted her again, and asked if this guy can be treated outside or needs to be confined. I’m clearing my space and buying a cheap tent to make an easy quarantine zone or keep him to be scanned…

    But I’ve also told her I’m not feeling confident in the ringworm treatment and asked if she can start looking for backup foster homes because I’m not sure I’m able to take him. I’m also looking for the owners in any way I can.

    It’s a hard one. I care about the cat and don’t fully want to give him up. Torn. Keep flip flopping.

    I’m just trying to be responsible and let them know to start looking for a placement now rather than bite off more than I can chew and then suddenly need someone else to take him on short notice. Or just stop caring for him because I can’t.

    I wish things were different. 😢

      That site is dangerous, I’ve learned to limit how often I visit there. I could go a scotch deal though.

        It’s meant to help you save money but I end up spending more from being on there. Plus I’m on one bottle of Morris from Rutherglen with another to get through, it’s all Ozbargain’s fault

    Two things.

    First, Carrot Man has a new carrot, or at least a freshly painted one. Looks very nice.

    Second, I just saw a young bloke on an electric scooter with a small fridge on the platform. Not secured with anything resembling an occy strap. Scooting down the hilly bit of Bridge Road. Which is due for resurfacing next weekend. Courage takes many forms.

    One of the Customer Service women has brought their daughter into work today. Last time she was in I tried plugging her switch into one of the computer docks to play on one of the monitors. It didn’t work, I don’t know if it’s Nintendo or Dell’s fault but that’s bullshit

      You need a switch dock to play on a screen (it comes with one). Splits the power and video signals on the usb-c.

      Unless it’s a switch lite, then there’s no additional video out. Just the screen.

        I wanted to check if it would work with any USB-C dock. I guess it only works with the switch one. I might mention that about the dock to the mum tomorrow

          Ooof be careful. A lot of switches got fried by aftermarket docks back in the day, they use specific voltage and amperage

            It straight up didn’t work and she’s brought it in since. It’s more that I could bring something like the Bazztop in and it would just work with any of the docks, but the switch needs its own shit to be able to run. I thought USB-C was meant to be a universal standard

              It’s not the usb C per se, it needs the ac adapter (in the dock) to give the gpu enough balls.

              Most tv/monitor USB ports don’t run enough voltage / amperage to power it

                You’d think a dock that can run a big fat Dell laptop and two monitors could power a Switch, but those docks often have their own processors which could throw things off a bit.

    My pumpkin vine has put out a bunch of new female flowers, it must feel like it’s in with a chance for more fruit than the 10 currently ripening. The squash and zucchini are also making a late fruiting run.

    The snow peas on the collapsed trellis had some dried peas so I’ve planted those on the remaining trellis and will hopefully get some new plants growing, and also harvested some fresh snow peas from one plant which decided it’s just going to keep growing on the ground. The climbing bean is also being pretty productive at the moment, so even though I didn’t get everything growing in the garden I would have liked it has been a fairly successful year.

      You’d be shocked, last year i threw a bunch of compost in a bed in jan, giant pumpkin trellis erupted, they held and we got enough to soup all winter.

      That’s impressive. Mine were out of the ground well over a month ago.

      Going into the cold this year will be bok choy, coriander, lettuce and maybe beetroot which I’ve never done and spinach.

        I’ve had a good result with beetroot and a couple of other root vegies - I have a few beetroot ready to pull up now. I need to do some more planting, I haven’t really gotten onto doing any of the leafy veg yet, but I keep intending to.
