    What a day. My 14 yo doggo had unfortunately passed away this morning - thought it was strange he wasn’t sitting out in the sun which he usually does every sunny day. Such a gentle dog he was since getting him as a 3 month old pup in 2009, will surely miss him

    Ugh, need to write an EOI for a job I don’t really want but will provide me with some resume points I could really use.

    A bit of sunshine makes everything seem just a little bit better. Must be some kind of primal instinct. Warmer days to come.

      Seasonal depression is real lol, a grey cloudy day will send me into a little spiral ugh.

      A day like today is a big dose of much needed serotonin and norepinephrine 😗👌

    TIL some people in the UK keep little hedgehog houses in their gardens so hibernating hedgehogs have somewhere safe to sleep.

    If anyone is interested I made my Tassie western novella - The Gambler’s Luck - free on kindle for the next day or so.

    If you’d like to grab your copy and please feel free to rate/review. Trying to build up some (hopefully) good ratings.

    Thanks :-)

    What a beautiful sunny day, Bill Cat is out on the terrace soaking up the rays an I’ll go for a walk later. 🤗😊 I tried to get the cat tax but as soon as I come near Bill gets up for a cuddle.

    Also, MIL an BIL are coming over for dinner, I’ve got all my mushroom clothes on. 🍄🤭

    I have visited the 24h dispensary and have night night gummies for sleepy time. We need to get Dan onto this… friggin nerds keeping us from yummy ni nighs squishies.

    Also when you legalise it, you get genius products like this:

        I’m actually down south about an hour and a half from Vegas in a little town called Laughlin for the next few days. The reviews for the dispensary were glowing though and I can see why. Very nice.

      Everytime I talk to mates back in Canada, they politely remind me that weed is legal and easily available.

      I mean, I’m high now, but still…wish I could just go and get some at the local

    Urrrgh. Another broken night’s sleep as Zooks came in at about 3 and started snuggling hard with bonus headbutts.
    Got the idea about an hour or so of it to turn the heater on and got to sleep until about 8, when she decided it was time for her morning snuggle and ‘feed me bitch’ nip.
    Remind me to leave the heater on low tonight if it’s gonna be this cold again.

    The dumb lamp next to my hotel bed has power outlets but my phone charger is too tall for it… but I finally found an actual use for something you’ll find in just about every hotel room. Thanks, Gideons!

    Then Brad said… “Let there be phone charging” and there was phone charging. And Brad saw that the phone charging was good.

        I didn’t know that they still sold phones in the country. The last time I saw them do anything at all was when they sold the 5, and they more or less went quiet since.

          They don’t, mine is US stock. Which is nice because I’ve brought it home for a visit. I usually use an adapter at home but on this trip I get to plug it into its home-socket rawdog.

        Hmm I may not be down with the Good Book but I left my defacing bibles phase back in primary school (they gave us pocket bibles in RE and I took it home, put it in a plastic ice cream container - yes I was very smart in primary school - and burned it)

    One thing I don’t love about Vegas is that my poor pink squishy lungs have become more sensitive to cigarette smoke over the years due to people not being able to smoke everywhere anymore, but in Vegas tobacco is caked into the place and people can smoke on casino floors.

    I don’t miss the morning headache which comes with being around that horrible shit. Cigarette smokers can get in the bin.
