Munich Christmas market! Much less crowded than Nuremberg, although less variety in the stalls.

First day new job. Got here way too early. Please deity, don't be a shit hole...

Took a few days off work last week, left pretty specific instructions on what to do in my absence.

Returned today to absolutely fuck all being done. I'm extra shitty as I've covered for others when they were sick/holidays and things progressed in their absence.

Looks like I'll have to return the favour and be 'too busy' for everything until after Xmas.

I bought a Terry's mint-flavoured chocolate orange, with the thought process being hey, I like chocolate oranges, I like mint chocolate, let's give it a go.

A week or so later I saw it in the cupboard and had a horrible thought: is it orange AND mint? What kind of monstrosity have I purchased here? Is this going to be like a Vegemite Tim Tam?

Upon closer examination I can confirm, no, just mint, but shaped like an orange because Reasons. So you can all relax, I'm sure that was stressing other people too.

My tooths are now very clean. Which is good, but they don't feel like my teeth anymore.

I like the new dentist I saw and am booked in for a torture session/filling soon. Why are teeth so poorly designed? And why don't they come with a warranty?

Just went out to the supermarket. The city is covered in a rare evening fog. Can't see the tops of the taller buildings. Humid as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I don’t know why, but I always want or need to bake on days that are hot or humid.

Resident weirdo checking in.

This morning on the telly they were talking about non alcoholic drinks for dogs because owners like to buy shit for their pets. Paw Blonde, Pawroni and Pawsecco are available for your party animals.

I hate this weather, so sticky and yucky, doesn't feel any better inside or outside today. Yuck! :(

I have very little enthusiasm for today.

Good Bot. 😊

Luckily I was awake anyway but three thunderbolts in quick succession just now. What the actual fuck?

I'm wearing a cardi, how in hell is going to be 33 tomorrow. 🥴

Thought I'd order a late breakfast.. rider sat waiting for some other order for like 30 minutes or so before going to get mine. I paid for priority delivery but that doesn't mean they'll prioritise collecting it. Prick sat on it not allowing another rider to collect it while it went cold. He's nearly here now 45 minutes past the original expected delivery. Angry.

Trying dry mode on my a/c. I feel like it does actually make a difference, but I don't know if it's placebo.

While making dinner this evening, I listened to just about every version of Santa Baby. There are a lot - Taylor Swift, Kylie, Cher, Madonna, Ariana Grande, Pussycat Dolls, Gwen Stefani to name just a few.

None of them are anywhere near as good as the Eartha Kitt original; though I give points to Michael Buble for his male version of a dude totally not flirting with Santa. It was his funny take that sent me on this journey.

Sketching while lying flat on your back is as difficult as it sounds

how gay is the yuletide

Thank you for being functional today

Napping was a mistake. But since I was up a certain furry little potato got an extra wet meal and is now having a cuddle. I'm really happy the new wet food is working out well for her and is more nutritious. We've had a win here.

Too tired to do anything productive so veging and watching dumb shows out of order til I hopefully get back to sleep.

i continue to be amazed by how incompetent the BOM is

Aaaargh!

When you realise you shredded a Kmart voucher along with a bunch of other receipts…

FML. This year I’ve also had two companies I’ve paid $$ that have gone under.

AND I still can’t find my Turkish towel!

It’d be really nice if something positive happened. Right now it’s all just waiting indefinitely for things to improve. I’m cuddling the furry pudding because she’s the best

Pull a muscle under my jaw yawning, and now it sort of hurts to talk and my tongue aches.

Absolutely revolting humidity. If this weather could kindly fuck off that would be super.

Hey @Bottom_racer@aussie.zone what's today's theme? Moody Monday Maybe?

Did anyone else notice [description of weather]? It makes me feel [extreme emotion].

I think the mould is gone. If not the bucket of bleach is still there. Right now I can only smell bleach.

Thunder here just now. O.O

I avoided rain on my walk, but I'm still dripping. That humidity's brutal.

boom

ugh the humidity brought mould to that slits window above the toilet
closed the door for now, will clean it with bleach this evening

I just ordered some moon cake presses so I can make pretty shortbreads for xmas. :)

my housemate got some madeira cake from woolies. yummm

What an armpit of a day

Melbcat’s claws really needed a trim, they were catching on the carpet as she walked but her nail clippers are gone… they went to the cattery along with her slicker brush which did come back. I have no idea why they would have been taken out and left there as they obviously weren’t used. Perhaps they got misplaced on unpacking?

It’s fine if they got left behind, they were quite cheap. It just would have been nice to realise it sooner so a new one could have been added to the Kmart order. Melbcat had to borrow the human nail clippers.

Jane says it'll be hot and humid like Brisbane tomorrow. So......shoes are optional.
