Who needs sleep when you can also yearn to have a proper conversation again while Simba is poking your head?

I almost licked a drop of Philly's meds off my hand because my motor memory acted as if it was honey... Wouldn't have been horrible though (other than if it tastes like it smells - most likely as Philly doesn't like it) as it's used in human medication too and it's vegan.

Why is there a severed grasshopper leg on my computer desk...?
A photo of said leg. Unfortunately it's one from the last pir, i.e. the jumping ones. This grasshopper is either dead or about to be.

Here are the boys' meds, using an amount like the old men they are. I better not be late in the mornings because this takes time...
Various packages, tubes and bags for the various health issues of the boys. In total 9 different items.

New evidence suggests that Adolf Hitler could have had a hand in his niece's death (according to him a suicide). The more you hear about this guy...

So, in the recent days I've spent almost 1000€ on the boys again... Who needs a car or a vacation anyway, right?! Seriously though, their health is the most important thing and both are generally fine. Simba is starting to get age-related renal issues which should be manageable with food for now.

You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon. Qapla'!

I'm really crestfallen that we're doing the theatre flyers via AI. I offered to do them (and did the recent years and it was a decent job, if I might say so myself) but apparently using the anti-thesis to creativity is what we'll end up with.

Philly got new meds and he just accepted the new tablet without any issue. What's the catch with this boy*?! He's just the sweetest and accepts everything without complaints.

My cousin sent this in the family chat:
"My the Angels watch over you!" written over two pictures of Mr. Incredible's head (I think - Pixar? Haven't seen the movie.).

The first is captured "religious people" and show a normal scene with him looking content or mildy amused.
The second one reads "Doctor Who fans" and not only has his expression changed to something like worry or concern, the picture is now black and white, grainy and high contrasted.

A friend of mine suggested a food station to manage Simba's recent eating habits (mainly theft and chaos). The boy is cute and all but he cannot even figure out Daisy's ball with a hole in it, he definitely won't be navigating tunnels.

Our physics prof introduced himself with "we all know each other from spending time in a supernova together, even shared some atoms with each other" at our first lecture. We are all made of "star stuff" and everything that makes up our bodies was once a super hot mass travelling through space.

Philly is not impressed with the new toy... Shoved it out of his cave because the silly human seriously thought he'd show a bit of interest.
Philly having a big ol' snooze after shoving the toy out of his cave (by his I mean the one he has rightfully stolen from Simba). The toy is a big rectangle that is supposed to be a cat mummy (a bandaged black cat with purple eyelids and a green nose. It's a plushie with some rustling material inside and some colourful appendages of various stretchiness on the bottom.

Also there's something weird going on with Philly's feet but we won't talk about that. The lad might be a bit too big for the tiny cave.

Those pistachios don't stand a chance against my teeth - there is not a single one being spared, all the pistachios are getting devoured. (And biting hard things you shouldn't necessarily bite will also most likely be how I'm going to lose my teeth.)

Patient apologised afterwards and while I do understand the point they were making, it's no excuse to yell at the staff and treat them with disrespect.

This guy and his happy saliva - he was very drooly that day... At least Dais had the excuse of having no teeth left, Simba just begins slobbering when he's happy (and that's why I gladly accept it - happy boy, happy me).

I may have watched too much WILTY recently but I just listened to my brother telling a mortimeresque story and was wondering whether it's true or a lie....

Heard one of the neighbours outside say "Ooh, smells like lunch!" when I was cooking. So the good news is, my food actually smells edible. But I'm also panicking about my food being smellable outside...

Oh no, the neighbours are having a birthday party... I'm so glad that I don't have to work tomorrow. And that it might start raining, and hopefully they'll be driven inside.

Update for @kimberleybsb.bsky.social and @robburgess.bsky.social (and way quicker than expected): He can escape if he wants to. But he also was in a panic and I wasn't near him. No worries though, he wasn't in any danger and I did have my eye on him. Just won't go out with both boys at once

Guess what they did to transgender people during the Nazi regime... If it wasn't too inconceivable, I would assume he picked up a history book and decide to do everything that's mentioned in it. I've been to the Mauthausen concentration camp and they mentioned trans people. Mauthausen was a

What Simba thinks is completely fine: Sitting on my lap, hind legs spread, his penis in full view and him cleaning it with slurp noises. What Simba thinks is absolutely not acceptable: Me trimming his claws because they grew too curvy and risk him getting caught and injuring himself.

Obviously I'm always for Simba being happy, especially on my lap, but why must he always start drooling when he is?

Guess I'm going to school the people who have been working in this job for much longer than me now. This is a language thing, by the way. I'm not being exploited, quite the opposite: We're trying to stop the nurses from exploiting my co-workers and the cleaning staff who struggle with German as

The amount of times Philly sneezed directly in my face is not funny anymore. Well, any number higher than zero isn't funny but would that it were... We're way past single digits, methinks.

So, if you had to decide on a low honour RDR2 playthrough, would you make Arthur look absolutely badass or completely ridiculous? I wish there was a poll option... I always got more interactions that way.

Not having a violent cat anymore, I completely forgot how painful some scratches can be. Hard to believe this was my life every single day. I don't blame my grandmother's cat for the current injuries, by the way - she was panicking and isn't even used to being inside, let alone in a transport cage.

Well... Spontaneous decision but she's coming home today.
