I think Mickey is going to fare better in the cattery than I will being around 3 children under 5 for 3 weeks.
At least the woman who runs the cattery is a massive Cat Woman; she isn't great with people but amazing with cats.
I am not amazing with children, it's very difficult to censor myself or not say something inappropriate (it's a My Family Surname issue 🤦♀️). I guess I will just do my best to take an interest in what they want to talk about, though I'm sure they will be rather preoccupied with each other rather than the adults.
So maybe I can sneak off for my durries, joints, and beer without too much fuss 😂
Also, stupid question I could Google but I'm very lazy: I have a number of Sally Hansen insta dry nail polish, can I take that on the plane? Either carry on or the other thing where they store big bags (words espace me, I'm hungover, sorry)
yes, you can take nail polish but not nail polish remover
cargo hold
and you will do fine with kids, just treat them like adults with special interests
ok, a miss seagoon story
when Miss Seagoon was 3.5 she went to her grandpa and step grandma's house to stay for a weekend. Step grandma was a very prim and proper person. My parting words to Miss when her dad drove her over was , "don't say any rude words like fuck. " I had friends over and they laughed when they heard the goodbye. We all swear a lot.
It's three kids once a year. I mostly do it because my mate is in town so I crash their family xmas and my removalists tongue sets off the swear jar comments. I grew up with looser parents who just swore around their kids.
I read it as every time you swear 😂 my bad lol I was like "bruh, I'd need 10x $50s just to cover me getting up in the morning" 😂😂
And yeah same, dad swears quite a bit and mum's as bogan as they come so there was no hope for me 😂 many a detention spent picking up litter at lunch for saying "fuck" in primary school 😬
They're $5 a swear so I just pre-buy some credit. I still need to watch my language, it's good practice. I've just been so shitfaced with my mate I forget that his more conservative family is at the table with us. They're lovely people but they've never snorted drugs off another human.
I had that with a candle I bought for my girlfriend. You didn't even have to light it, you could just open the lid and smell it since it was so strong.
Also, I remember reading a guide on how to burn a candle years ago. It sounds like a silly concept but it was advice on how to stop the wick tunneling into the wax so it was actually quite useful
Running the figures. 1kg of wax needs 8kg of honey, so 130kgs of honey for 16kgs. Say you put 10g of honey on toast that's 13,000 slices of toast w/ honey (!).
Last week I started getting off the tram earlier and earlier on the way home and walking the rest of the way. Today I decided to just walk the whole way, took an hour on the dot. It's about half an hour using trams. It felt good! Can see myself doing this almost every day I think (weather permitting). My GP will be happy if it lowers my blood pressure.
I think about this with riding the bike. It's 10 minutes slower than driving. I could see that as 20 minutes of exercise a day instead of wasted time getting to and from work
Gibson doesn’t like to wear things. And after several rounds of Mortal Kombat (and antibiotics for me and a tetnus shot tomorrow) we had to go back to the vet for the cone of shame.
Oh dear. Poor Gibson has had a day.
If you're home and observing she might manage without the cone.
In the past I've connected the cone to a separate collar to make it easier to get on and off too.
The vet will call me tomorrow and we can see if I can take it off. I’m going to be out a lot of the week for interviews but I have to admit she accepted it a lot better than the suit.
It's an awesome picture. It must have been very exciting to spot a dolphin. I bet it looked huge to naked eye, microscopic in a photo. I try to zoom everything but I don't have a good camera, it has limitations.
And omg, did you get a pic of a live Pheasant Shell? They are so pretty, I've never seen one live.
I have bought myself my first mango of the season. Bit worried it’s too early for them to be good yet, but the aroma got me when I walked past them, couldn’t help myself.
I assume the sedative she got was gabapentin otherwise that’s a suggestion.
Melbcat is usually very good but when she was first getting used to it I would tip the carrier onto its back end and gently drop her in. That sometimes buys you a second to shut the door before they rocket back out. A top-down carrier is also an option.
Another cat I had to trick by putting treats inside so he’d half go in and then quickly pushing his bottom in to shut the door.
Today at the beach I saw a Polycheate, a bristle worm. I did not touch it, luckily, as many of these marine animals are venomous.
it's the purple and red worm looking thing with a hundred legs. It moved quite fast when my shadow crossed it. ( it was so brightly coloured irl, really pretty even if it was a monster )
I also saw a sea urchin in a rock pool, it was moving it's spines.
and a cloudy day over the bay, I dressed warmly and the breeze was quite nice
So tired… Melbcat’s med times desyncing isn’t going to be easy to handle. But whatever. I’m just going to have to follow the alarms and cat nap between doses.
I’ve ordered some supplements that may help her bladder as antibiotics may worsen antibiotic resistance :( And some more oral syringes.
Tomorrow/today I book the home visit for her blood pressure and try to finish tidying up for that. Hopefully the vets bring the medication if it’s ready.
Despite it all she’s a trooper. Still jumping up and down from her chair by herself, eating her meals, and wanting to look outside.
Just spending the evening doing some sewing and mending.
It annoys me no end good jumpers are being eaten by moths. I use eucalyptus wash, I hang up moth repellant, I store carefully, I hunt down moths. I still get damaged jumpers. Maybe I should buy acrylic instead.
@Seagoon_@YarraByte noooo. I'm trying to get rid of the plastic in my wardrobe. It's slow going but I'm getting one or two new op shop finds most times I look. Got the most gorgeous tie-die silk top for peanuts the other week, I had honestly forgot how lovely silk is, been a while since I wore any.
@Seagoon_ I had thought I might have moths eating wool items but so far I haven't eyeballed any and traps are empty, and damage is indeterminate... I had a friend say she thought must have moths but I'm not sure.
spose i better clean up the front porch again, I spent over an hour repotting and cleaning it yesterday only for the wind last night to smash some plants and turn over pots.
::: spoiler spoiler
You could add an extra pack of unflavoured jelly to the recipe for milk jelly for an opaque pink sliceable substance. https://www.food.com/recipe/milk-jelly-529101
Melbcat refused to eat her medicated breakfast even after adding a topping, I kept urging her but didn’t remove it and make her take it directly via syringe like usual… fell asleep. (I also missed the chance to take an incredibly cute picture of her pillowing her head on my knee.) Then I was late with the 4pm dose.
Changing the frequency of one med and adding another has pushed it from a simple twice daily routine to different meds all over the place, individual and different combinations. I’ve simplified it as much as I can but times and frequencies being out of sync make it really hard to chunk.
There is one small mercy. I know a trick that allows me to dissolve a pill directly in a syringe so that speeds up one individual dose. But it’s quite the mental load to remember what is given when. I may go back to using a dosette but I can’t put vet-prepared tubes in there.
I also have an ultrasound tomorrow, vet home visit Wednesday, and urgent dentist appointment Friday.
I still haven’t finished cleaning for Wednesday or showered for tomorrow.

I’m so tired and already letting the side down.
Melbcat refused to eat her medicated breakfast even after adding a topping, I kept urging her but didn’t remove it and make her take it directly via syringe like usual… fell asleep. (I also missed the chance to take an incredibly cute picture of her pillowing her head on my knee.) Then I was late with the 4pm dose.
Changing the frequency of one med and adding another has pushed it from a simple twice daily routine to different meds all over the place, individual and different combinations. I’ve simplified it as much as I can but times and frequencies being out of sync make it really hard to chunk.
There is one small mercy. I know a trick that allows me to dissolve a pill directly in a syringe so that speeds up one individual dose. But it’s quite the mental load to remember what is given when. I may go back to using a dosette but I can’t put vet-prepared tubes in there.
I also have an ultrasound tomorrow, vet home visit Wednesday, and urgent dentist appointment Friday.
I still haven’t finished cleaning for Wednesday or showered for tomorrow.

A chart is a good idea. On top of the labeled alarms
I had it down pat and one shift has me scrambling
