    OK, bot has now been given a process management system to help run continually and not crash completely if there is an error. Not sure if it will help with the not posting at/after midnight issue, but it can’t hurt and will give me a bit more information.

    I have instructed the bot to post at 11:55, but after past failures am much less hopeful it will actually work ☹️ I’ve added in a few more test posts elsewhere at various intervals to try and get some more information about what is going wrong. At the moment the theory that the cat is sabotaging it seems as likely as anything else. It is very frustrating that every single test I do works perfectly, and the actual post doesn’t.

      FWIW one of my peeves with the way it worked on reddit is that a new thread at midnight can interrupt the thread conversations for night owls. I feel like a 4 AM time for the new thread would be good.

      So did I end up being right then?

      That your cat was the saboteur and is trying to take over the world?

        Its the best theory I have right now. She’s trying to look disinterested, but she definitely has a keyboard obsession she’s not been able to hide, so being a closet hacker is something I wouldn’t put past her.

    My dinner

    From top left clockwise: Aldi’s potato scallop, peas, sauted mushrooms with chives, marinated lamb ribs definitely not burnt just well done, mint jelly. Corn on the cob not pictured.

    Please note that the plate is small. (26cm in diameter)

    My husband made an observation. He said “I noticed that the smaller ribs did not make the photo but ended up in my lunch”. :)

    In other more positive news, I have my initial ADHD assessment via Telehealth on the 15th! This place is much cheaper, the only drawback, though bearable is that I have to wait until November for my official diagnosis. So please manifest are sooner cancellation for me.

    The last few days have been really low
    My applications are progressing slow
    Like glaciers taking a thousand years
    To slide down into an ocean of fears

    Heart sinking down down down
    Mind thinking round round round
    Blood rushing without a sound
    Threads unravelled, coils unwound

    Melancholic sheets between fields of pillows
    Speckled with heavy sighs hanging like willows
    Their leaves are tears feeding the streams
    Of fears that this is all that it seems

    Shoutout to the headache gang. I had a joyful one at work and it’s still kind of lingering. So frustrating. Alas, I’m an uncool kid, so no tacos for me this Tuesday. It’s pasta, cheesy garlic bread and whatever else I can wrangle. I’ve also been cheeky with my chocolate cookie and chocolate bar this evening. You know, dessert before dinner.

    How is everyone?

      Still have a lingering headache at the moment. But as bad as what I was feeling earlier in the day but it’s still there.

      Hoping it might ease off after I eat dinner as it sometimes does relax my body and lets me relieve the tension.

      How is your headache?

    PSA to check your hot water bottles for leaks. I got into a wet bed last night and realised mine had wet itself. Thankfully I actually didn’t refill it last night so it was left from the previous night and must have just seeped through some very minor crack in the rubber.

      I think you are supposed to get a new one every 2 years? The rubber degrades from the heat and becomes stiffer and therefore more prone to cracking or bursting.

    Just want to vent a bit about a really horrible experience trying to go out to trivia in Brisbane tonight. I’m up here for a work conference and didn’t want to go to the costume dinner thing they had, so booked a table at a local pub thinking I’d see if another team wanted a solo extra. First off the pub was super seedy and gross, the stickiest place I’ve been to in years. Then the only thing on the menu I could eat (recently developed awful reflux that I think is triggered by onion and garlic) was the pear and rocket salad and you guys, it is in my top 5 worst meals of all time. It was genuinely inedible. Then the trivia host ignored my three separate times as she went table to table. Genuinely ignored me waving and saying excuse me. At that point I just said fuck it and left. Now I’m sitting back in my hotel room eating yogurt and an apple as the saddest fucking dinner because my anxiety is through the roof. Fuck me. Plus it’s raining so now I have wet jeans that might not dry in time for me to pack them in my suitcase tomorrow.

      I’m so sorry, that is such a shit evening. There are probably pubs like that in Melbourne as well, to be fair, but more so in the middle to outer suburbs (assuming you’re in the Brisbane CBD). There’s a number of things I liked about Brisbane when I lived there, but the insularity of many mainstream communities puts Melbourne’s apparent standoffishness to shame sometimes. Still like a large country town in some ways.

      it’s really really important you rest and let the bones heal** ** you do not want to make this worse

      my husband totally shattered a vertebrate in a fall, as in it was powdered, after surgery his vertebrate is now made of superglue and bone dust

      the surgeons say he must have already had a hairline fracture in a previous accident a few weeks before that weakened him , a hairline he didn’t know he had

      REST AND HEAL

            can’t really do that; both of us are having back issues. At least we will need to load the dishes. Thanks for the concern taking it really easy, and sleeping a lot. Trying to wean myself off the pain meds as it can get addicting.

    What we have here is a failure to launch. Dammit.

    It has to be a problem with the date, bot won’t work after midnight. It’s eather Cinderella or a gremlin. Next attempt will be before midnight, if that posts it will be a stopgap solution at least while I work out the issues. Maybe I can check the dark web for bot viagra.
