    After the awful news out of India I decided to revisit a happier ending to a crazy situation and watched Sully. Damn near cried a few times just thinking about the goodness of people compared to what we see in the US today. Now I’m off to go watch some Mayday episodes and feel grateful for my life.

    E: also, massive boo to Clint Eastwood and his anti government dickhead views for making the NTSB into some kind of villain, I guess it was just the beginning of the Trump years after all. Which is all the more sad to contrast with 2009, when it actually happened… Can’t believe the GFC years feel better than what we have today.

      That was tragic what happened in India, the fact by some miracle one person survived is somehow out of this world.

      What’s Mayday by the way?

    I haven’t read any news in about 4 or so months.

    Previously, I was glued every day doomscrolling multiple news sources and subreddits a day.

    In a way, it’s putting my head in the sand. But to be completely up front, my mental health has benefited significantly.

    Whilst I do enjoy a good drive in the countryside, in the dark trying to get home from work is not really the time. I think the GPS was trying to send me the long way around to avoid some traffic, but driving back country roads you don’t know in the dark is not fun.

    In good news though I had many packages when I got home, including the lost Bunnings parcel that has been spending the last week touring the state. Miss Meow has some new steps, which arrived with a bit of damage but seem to be holding together ok, and she also has a new mat to go in front of the litter trays to help contain her wild litter flinging ways.

    I also have a couple of rugs which look fairly lightweight but should be decent enough for occasional use in the garage, a stand to put the toaster oven on, a rolling stand for my computer cpu, and new rollerblade style castors for my office chair. I just need to figure out how to get the old ones off.

    And also a set of coasters I threw in as a last minute impulse buy and actually look pretty decent - each one has a similar but different pattern.

    Ok, quick bedding change when Melbcat briefly got up. Quick cycle rewashing of a forgotten load.

    When I get up again I’m going to replace the bin bag, throw out the stuff on the bench and empty the litter boxes.

    Anyone want an overbearing 7kg cat that refuses to listen, insists on licking your face while clawing your neck, flicks kitty litter everywhere, opens every cupboard that he can, must be involved in everything and is currently nuzzled my fingers while I try to type? Anyone? Please?

    Of course I’m not being serious, but he’s really A LOT today!

            He’s already packaged up in the box, he’s coming over! 📦 All jokes, we couldn’t part with him, the house would be too quiet - although less stinky! Ten minutes ago I sneezed and he farted out of shock. He’s certainly a character!
