  I finally bought myself a cordless pole hedge trimmer today. Dad gave me his old corded one when we moved in (after he came to visit three months after we moved in and brought his cordless pole trimmer to help as a one off 😅).

  This time next week I’ll be settling in to sleep at the airport ahead of going away for a week for work. I’m both excited and apprehensive. I need to start packing and doing 500 other things.

  I am so excited to ask my coworkers about their metacognitive strategies at book club tomorrow. Every drop of this book is GOLD. Thanks @grimalkina

  Oops. I let my bus driver take my ticket. Guess I’m not gonna get the $8 airport transfer reimbursed by work <facepalm>. I always forget to take photos of these things early smh.

  Getting my pre dinner dinner because the caterers chosen for this week long event haven’t sorted out anyone’s dietary requirements. This is terrible. At least there’s fast food nearby that can cater (and we’re encouraged to expense it)

  Two different tradies have been “coming by next week” for three weeks. Of course they’re both coming today when I have a big presentation to do 😅😅😅

  There are two dog scent sports organizations in nz, with slightly different regulations, target odours and ways of running trials. We went to our first SSANZ trial yesterday and Gus had a flawless run. Found all four hides (vehicle, exterior, interior and containers) in under 1 minute. No faults, the only “issue” was that I didn’t believe him at first because he found the vehicle hide so quickly, that I made him do a full loop of the car to confirm he wasn’t fibbing. I am so pleased

  I’m having a lot of emotions because we finally finished watching Hacks and now there isn’t any more of it and it’s the best show

  I got a deep tissue massage to try deal with my shoulders (never a good sign when they touch you, hiss(!!) then say “wow your rhomboids are TIGHT”). I am so sore and this will help and I’m also gonna restart my physio stretches that I’ve been ignoring for the last year since moving but oooof I feel like I got beaten up in very targeted places ow

  I had A Day and this was probably the most stressful part of it and HO BOY

• View post

  Most nights I wake up and roll over at least 5 times. Usually closer to 10. Last night I only did it once? I feel so rested? I dunno what is different other than Gus was exhausted after doing lots of scent work and hanging with friends for most of the day yesterday…

  RE: https://cloudisland.nz/@duckalini/116669138600384745 I am instead using this week to rebuild the home automation from the ground up. We lifted and shifted the apartment set up a year ago and so it had a lot of cruft and missing bits we hadn’t plugged in and obsolete rules. So I’m starting from scratch and migrating things over. It’s both rewarding and tedious work.

  Project Hail Mary is a hell of a movie. They did such a great job, I’m thrilled

  I feel a little bad cuz I didn’t take Gus for a walk today and I meant to BUT we are taking him to his first ever tracking group practice so I’m hoping that makes up for it. Once he gets a hang of the concept I think he will thoroughly enjoy it as an activity

  @kf Didn't realise it was the final until afterwards and then went "oooh yeah that all makes sense"

  Now that it’s getting colder, I’m getting catstuck a lot more often

  We’ve now met a bunch of scent work people from our local kennel club and omg they’re so nice and no one is being weird about our masks inside and Gus is having a blast! I’m expecting him to flop under his first trial this weekend, but it’s about learning to work in a new environment so that’s fine.
