Cat tmi, poo talkMelbcat has been to the vet because she started crying again… it may be that the accidents were from overcompensating with the osmolax, and now it’s been drastically reduced she’s crying again possibly due to the constipation returning.

There will be a small regular dose (say 1/8tsp) that will slowly increase until a balance is found.

I feel a bit silly but relieved that that could have been it. It’s ok. I’m her mum and it’s my job to worry.

Yep… the social media age verification was the thin end of the wedge.

The answer to kids accessing age inappropriate content is education and parental supervision, not censoring the internet and infringing on all the adults. But then the government couldn’t push laws to increase surveillance and receive popular support.

I really wish I’d had the time and energy to degoogle and had never started using cloud storage. I’m going to have to back up all of my photos in case I lose access when I refuse to hand over my ID. (Which I should have already done.)

I also really should have switched to Duck Duck Go ages before this

I just resowed with the last of the cat grass seeds and decided to order a single packet of red kangaroo paw seeds too, as in the Australian native flower. They seemed like they would fit in pots and attract pollinators.

It’s disappointing not to plan on growing vegetables but I’m being realistic about how much maintenance I can give things.

Sometimes she even helps me with the computer. So it’s a polite wrestling for control of the keyboard. She’s a great typer

I should be doing chores but Melbcat and I are having a lie in. She’s being the little spoon between me and the computer.

I did throw some washing on when I had to get up so that counts!

Edit: Also I cracked the doors to air the house and reseeded some of the cat grass. Need to buy more seeds

I would love that.

Yes! We can swap excess

That sounds great actually

 

There’s not much to be done over Winter so I’m deciding what my plans are for Spring.

Are you planning or prepping anything? Improving the soil over winter?

 

This grant is a great step, kitten season is coming

 

Yes Coles are price gougers and part of a duopoly so I hate recommending them.

But if the drop off part of things is a challenge at least there’s the option to use this.

 

Seems Yarrabyte has got on the beers?

Winter is coming, bills will be high. Do you have tips to help us get by?

Winter is coming. Any plans?

 

An advocacy service over the phone for people living with opioid dependence.

Things are really bad in my area and Victoria is the only Australian state that still charges for methadone. There’s not much I can do individually but share resources and hope it helps someone.

It's really cooling down now… What are your plans if any?

 

Prices are always rising.

What have you found good for saving a dollar?
