I have had the audiobook of A Kind of Magic hanging around in my library for ages @annaspargoryan.bsky.social. I am finally reading it (sorry). I just cannot find the words. Beautifully written and read, and funny as fuck. 🤷‍♀️

Em, I am doing my CPAP trial. May I occasionally reach out for tips/your experiences?

'Thought it was a plane crash': Meteor shakes houses across Victoria The meteor was seen across Victoria just after 7:30pm on Sunday, with some observers describing a large, bright object and a loud boom.

Well, that was exciting. I have never heard a sonic boom before. But, being 7.30pm and having no context, it was bloody scary for a second. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

I am like a toddler on Christmas Day. Hurry up T-Bone and get out of bed! I need to see my card, and the track listing for KizzaMatronica Partymixonica 11.

T is sitting on the couch reading a comic book. This is not unusual. What is unusual is that it is a 3Dcomic, and he is reading it with a pair of Barbie 3D glasses <3 The man is adorbs.

So, the doctor has spoken. Yup, I have sleep apnea.

36 hours on meloxicam, and Hamish is already moving his tail so much better.

Hamish is glaring at me as he knows I have doped him with something more than his usual medication. Yes, lovie, we are off to the vet for both a vaccination and blood tests. #SorryKitteh.

Well, my keto clinical trial can't start for another 6ish weeks, as I need to nudge my medication. While I want to bite the bullet and get it happening, I am quite glad I won't be on keto for my birthday. :)

Today I found out that my Dad is giving me a brand new iMac that is surplus to his needs. This will be the first 🍎 I have used since Dad's Macintosh Classic II in the late '80s.

I am trying to get back to a normal sleeping pattern as I am still playing catch up after my sleep study induced crappy night's sleep. But, a nap with Hamish sounds pretty bloody good right now.

God, I am glad to be home.

Well, I will be giving them lots of data to work with. Trackwork turned a 3 hour public transport trip to my sleep study, a 4.5 hour trip.

Well, some of my super damaged fruit trees got a VERY hard prune yesterday. With the added joy of a couple of arsehole roses taken out of our prime food growing space.

At 11 a.m., one of the birdbaths still had a layer of ice. A friend is on her way with chainsaws for getting rid of some roses and hard pruning of other trees. Luckily, I have soup in the slow cooker. :/

We have had many tape decks over the last 10 years. We are hoping this one will last a bit longer. First tape off the rank, Kizzamatronica Partymixonica 10. Last year's birthday mix tape.

Late last week, we received our new to us tape deck, but we had to wait for a Japanese step-down transformer. It has arrived, and they (and the newish (also to us) amp are glorious!

Our new (to us) dual tape deck arrived on Thursday. We go through them, helped by us often getting them from opshops and not in the best of nick. Anyway, this baby (Sony TC-WE475) is looking schmicko. But we have to wait until we get a step-down converter as it came from Japan.

Lololol.

TBone is happily off his tits. He is sitting on the couch, cuddling Hamish and reading a book of Nancy cartoons. The report is in, 4 polyps removed, all of which are benign/pre cancerous.

In super awesome news, on a 10°c max day, my new Oodie outdoor coat is arriving. So my hospital shenanigans while T is sleeping will be toasty ones.

And I have to say, I am so grateful (and amazed) that a Bendigo surgeon covers C'maine hospital one day a week, so we are able to have it done locally.

The speed at which it happens is beyond belief...and in winter while we are all rugged up, ' cause we have 0 insulation to boot.

For T's sake, I am really looking forward to his colonoscopy to be over. We'll deal with the results, whatever they may be. But last night was tough for the poor chook. On the good side, a friend is not only picking us up, she is leaving us with a lasagne.

Hmmm. Why the double up, Kirrily?

P.S. we are optimistic. The stats are on our side, and there's no family history.

This is T's first scope (+ bowel cancer screening test) and his first hard core time dealing with the industrial medical complex as an adult. He has had a lot to learn. Luckily, he is hanging out w a pro like me. *We are optimistic, the stat's are on our side. And there isn't a family history.

Yesterday was T's low fibre day. Today is breakfast by 9am, then his prep drinks and clear fluids day. It will be a hard couple of days for the poor bugger.

We are meeting up with a JP today for our EPOAs and MTDMs. That will be the end of our current onslaught of adulting responsibilities. Well, until T's colonoscopy next Friday.
