I saw this recipe on Insta for baking hot cross buns in something like a custard sauce, with milk / cream / butter / sugar / eggs and a few other things. I’m not sure if this is some Easter tradition I missed out on growing up but knew I had to make it. This is now my lunch.
Why do I offer to host knowing it'll throw me into an anxious mess? Thankfully it's only coffee for Boyo's sister and her partner, but I'm still like urg
I freaked out a bit throwing the partay. Last time I did a little gathering like that was about 20 yrs ago, and we were all high after clubbing so it was easy lol.
How people manage the stress of hosting big ones is very much beyond me.
Hosting an event is ALL about prep. Even to the point of drawing up a chart on a piece of paper. And dividing up tasks to be done on day minus x, day minus 1, day itself. Then the actual event is a LOT more relaxed. I thought you did really well for the partay.
Last steps is to flush it then put bicarb and cleaning vinegar down each one, wait over night then flush with hot water (going up ladders w/ hot water will probably win me the darwin award).
It rained a bit last night and the downpipe outside my bedroom was flowing very nicely so seemingly this whole wasn't a waste of time.
Checking the Bissels at the GGs. Powerforce Pet is $299 at the moment and another with steam is $479 (hard floor cleaner)… ending April 8. Vax compact carpet washer is $219. The Kmart generic is $119 which is more my budget but I wonder about the vacuum quality and therefore the water removal and drying.
Hate having carpet. Whose idea was this?
Considering just spraying it down with diluted benzalkonium chloride from one of those big sprayers or using a cheap handheld steamer bought off eBay. But it is kinda grubby and I’m a bit worried about leaving on the toxic to cats carpet foam spray I used 😕

::: spoiler TW grief/mental health
Grief has combined with everything else going on and has pushed me into an actual mental health crisis. I’m getting help and all but my god this sucks. I just wish it would end.
Starting Endep at a very low dose to try and dull this abdominal pain because it’s worsened under stress and so severe I can barely eat.
:::
I had the bright idea of using an antifungal pump spray on the cat’s legs as a quicker application (because he doesn’t stay still and pulls his legs away). It just scared him.
I’m feeling so stressed and trapped about the whole situation. The loss of Melbcat has severely destabilised me, I don’t know how to solve this, and my own treated lesion seems to be coming back. Ignoring the cat and not helping him is not an option. I’m just going in circles here.
I’ve contacted the rescuer again. Asking if I can get some oral medication for him. Explaining my difficulties with topical. And about being unable to get help from the vet or find his owners. Asking if I would be able to successfully treat him in the community or if I should surrender him to her organisation :(
I’m going to go put a found poster outside where I was told these alleged owners live, but it’s highly possible they could have moved or just don’t give a damn
The easy way is to do nothing (no) or surrender him to the kill shelter (no). Letting this continue means I stay on the ringworm hamster wheel and that is breaking me.
There’s no easy answer so I’m asking this lady if I can get some oral treatment for him or if I should surrender him to this rescue (which will skip the pound and take him to foster).
the easy answer is do what you need to/want to in the easiest way possible and don't fret
ringworm in humans is not such a difficult thing and it's not dangerous, just paint liquid daktarin a few times and it's gone, so don't fret, you'll be ok
I can’t help it. My brain has gone out of control in the worst way. And my immune system is really weak so it may not be able to beat it.
I put up a few posters near the spot. The lady is going to call me about getting him some tablets. I still have no idea what to do about him (and he’s started trying to kill the magpies)
My fruit & veg box has arrived for the month. I have lots of cauliflower (destined for soup) and a huge amount of grapes. The lettuce however was extremely tiny, which is probably a good thing as I still have more than expected left from last month - the change to cooler weather has slowed down my salad intake somewhat.
If you've seen the Kodak Charmeras I just got some aliexpress knockoff versions. I'll find wherever sells the cheapest micro SD cards and that will give me something to do tomorrow. Do they still sell 4gb SD cards?

Put in my application to volunteer at lost dogs home.
Fingers crossed.

Lost dogs or Lort Smith? I did about seven months at Lort Smith.

Let me know if they’re as high risk for euthanasia as they’re painted out to be. I avoid surrendering cats to shelters after seeing some of that stuff
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 130d
Will do. I know they have a bad rep I just want to see how they look after the animals.

Sent a sick stray to the vet who then sent kitty to them. They were still taking care of her a few weeks after when I called to check.

That’s good. Still concerned

Who has left over hot cross buns?

Yes it's tradition. It's like bread and butter pudding using leftover/stale hot cross buns.
Yours looks amazing!

Almost all done w/ the downpipes.
Last steps is to flush it then put bicarb and cleaning vinegar down each one, wait over night then flush with hot water (going up ladders w/ hot water will probably win me the darwin award).
It rained a bit last night and the downpipe outside my bedroom was flowing very nicely so seemingly this whole wasn't a waste of time.

Washing soda is better than bi carb and vinegar.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 130d
Hrmm seems so!..
might have to double down and do both.
One of the downpipes is a bastard so I'll put the washing soda in that first.
Thanks for the tip :)

Bicarb and vinegar is better for a kitchen sink as you agitate the shit off the sides. You've already done that with the blaster.

I also found a watch , a very waterlogged cheapie, and a few nice deep purple scallop shells
