Third night of getting less than 8 hours of sleep. Only got five hours of sleep and I have to go to work ๐ญ probably because I drank coffee at like 2pm yesterday and used a giant PC.

Little miss was crying today and I was concerned. But I forgot to block off the chair seat and the second I turned my back she was up there. Sheโs going to be jarring her joints jumping up and down from that!
Edit: I was going to buy her pet ramps but she goes out of her way to jump off to the side to avoid any padding or ramps I improvise. She just wants to jump!
Could it be sheโs okay, and is just crying because she wants extra wet food and to get up on furniture sheโs not supposed to?
I take it all very seriously at her age though.
My lips are getting so dry.
I picked up one of those tinted lip balms to try and itโs quite moisturising โฆbut I didnโt look and it contains castor oil. Which can be very drying and is a known irritant for me. DOH

I BEAT SIMON. HOLY FUCK YES.
I was so apprehensive about it because, really, it's an optional fight and I was sad about not figuring that out about it before I finished the game because tbh I didn't realise it was optional so I finished the game going "wait what about Simon? Who is he?" (thanks to some accidental ONTD comments and otherwise) but then going back and finding him was very cool and his fight was the hardest thing I found and I hated it for that fact alone but also liked that it gave me something to grind towards (WoW player in her element) and omg the celebration when I killed the bastard... though I could listen to his soundtrack forever.
Sidenote: Boyo is playing Dune and absolutely loving it!! I'm meanwhile pouring another glass of pinot noir.
I need to buy a present for a 1st birthday Iโm going to next week (for a boy). I was thinking some clothes (bigger size he can grow into) and maybe a kidโs book? Any other ideas? Budget is $50 - $75.
The noisiest possibly toy in your budget.
My go to for that age group was bath toys, simple puzzles, those hard cardboard paged books, simple musical instruments (but nothing that's a choking hazard). At that age it's gotta be stuff that's ok to put in their mouth. You're on the money with bigger clothes: suddenly you're dressing them one morning and their clothes don't fit anymore!

Facebook managed to create duplicate listings so I woke up to a bunch more "is this available?" messages ๐คฃ No. No it is not.
I managed a nice late sleep in this morning. I intend to do very little today. Maybe a nice meandering dog walk, mixing up the new batch of dog food, and I should rescue the terrarium from the car as it is probably wondering where all the light's gone.
Finally watching s4 of preacher and it was filmed in melbs and they are very obvious about it being filmed in melbs and it's doing my head in a bit
It doesnโt feel bone chillingly cold outside tonight for a change.
Pasta bake for dins, had some frozen leftover meat sauce and making the meal more interesting by adding lots of cheese and baking.
