Melbcat is obsessed with getting up on the chair even if it hurts her to jump down. (She avoids any padding or ramps to jump full force.)

Does she remember that doing that hurts her and chooses to do it anyway? Do I just let her do it?

There’s an idea. The old boy could learn to bbq. That’s acceptably manly, right? Potato salad/slaw and bagged salad come ready to eat so the old girl won’t be expected to make sides.

I personally disliked my countertop dishwasher but if your olds are less picky than me it could help them.

(Please take your breaks)

Stupid idea which kids will get around in 5 seconds and will lock unwilling or unlucky adults out.

And they’re now expanding it to search engine logins.

It’s destroying everyone but the ones who benefit.

It seems like it’s taken such a long time for news outlets to become outwardly critical but even then it isn’t likely there’ll be any change because there’s a vested interest.

I didn’t get out of bed today. Slept all day. Not sick, at least I don’t think so, but I just could not be fucked.

I did some laundry before turning in so I’m going to spoon with the old baby until it’s time to feed her and then maybe do some folding if it’s dry. There’s paperwork I should at least start. Also the vitamin d weekly tablet I haven’t been taking.

Deciding whether I should try to take something at midnight in an attempt to sleep through.

Melbcat asked for uppies today and proceeded to have a long cuddle and scritches with a visitor! That was so cute. She pouted and sulked when cuddle time had to end before she was ready.

spoilerShe’s still crying and wanting extra food (among a couple of other things) so I called the vet again about steroids for ibd flare. They talked about the side effects, blamed the osmolax, told me to monitor and call back Monday.

It seems they don’t want to deal with it but I keep calling to stay on it as long as she’s not feeling well. If there’s anything I can do for her comfort I will.

I’ve managed to screw up my sleeping pattern again.

Bonfires are so nice.

She never used to ask for anything but I’m hoping she’s just got more confident to voice her needs. It might be her age too

 

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?

 

(Posting a few days early while I remember)

Winter is coming. Any plans?

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?
