    I started feeling worse after a nap yesterday afternoon. It was one of those naps where upon waking I could swear I’d been punched in the face and been run over by one of those wannabe F1 drivers they always seem to hire for replacement buses

    I ran out of soothers, not that they were doing very much anyways. But I did find an orange in my fridge, so I had that. Also remembered I have no sugar cordial I keep on hand for when I’m sick (when I have a cold, I always really struggle with water intake despite usually drinking lots)

    Also I bought a game called chef in the steam sale and hopped on at 10 thinking I would play an hour then go to bed, but it’s now 2 and it appears I may still be awake

    Don’t know if anyone was watching the news but a cargo ship in Baltimore collided with a bridge and took the whole thing down.

    It sounds horrific.

    “Man’s Attempt to go to bed early foiled by cat chasing random bug in bedroom. When asked why he didn’t remove the cat he was quoted as saying: she’ll just bang on the door all night” More news at 11.

      Cat chasing bug is excellent. My cats won’t, they just lazily look at bugs while I tell them to do their job of protecting the house from said bugs.

    Finally the apartment has cooled down to a more reasonable 24°C. So the cats have started their zoomies.

    They have been lethargic and not doing zoomies in the last 3 weeks as the apartment was constantly 31-35°C.

      When you are the moon, the best form you can be is a full moon. And then the half moon… he’s all right. But the full moon is the famous moon. And then three-quarters, eh, no one gives a shit about him. When does he come, two days in, to the calendar month? He’s useless. Full moon. The moon. The main moon.

        When you are the moon, there is a person people say is the sun. I saw the sun once, and he came past me, really fast. And it was an, it was called, the, an eclipse. And he came fast! But as he came past, I, I licked his back. [sticks out tongue] And he doesn’t know I licked his back! All in his yellow suit!.. I’m the moon.

        All are good. Even better when you blend them together in a hot choco, but the sugar content tends to be quite horrific.

    It’s dashcam installation day! Then I just need to witness something worth submitting to YouTube while singing in the car, get discovered by a talent agent from that exposure and then I’ll be a ⭐ STAR ⭐

      Just remember not to be one of those yuppy rich people who mute the audio if you swear. I don’t come to hear “FU-”. The more you call the driver in front inanimate objects, the funnier you’ll be!

        I had an idea to have a pre-thought-up tirade ready which uses subbed words like darned, fudging, etc. for a laugh.

        But I also have another idea locked and loaded which might be fun too.

    I just dropped my cat at the cattery for the very first time. I feel like an absolute monster, abandoning my little baby. I know it’s for his own good- I’m going away for 10 days and last time I was away that long he struggled with a friend visiting daily.

    But still. And the house feels very empty.

    (accidentally posted in yesterday’s thread)

    Fuuuuck. I have repeatedly overexerted myself for days in a row (once is bad enough) and my body is screaming. I crashed and slept for hours, was late with supper. But Melbcat did get seen no matter what.

    Cat rambles

    They aren’t finding any infection in her bladder or ears anymore! No explanation for the vomiting so I’ll make sure it couldn’t be a hygiene or freshness issue - however the day before yesterday I overheard at emergency that another cat had vomited 6 times, and yesterday I overheard someone trying to book in because their cat was vomiting. It could be coincidence but perhaps I should watch for any recalls on the Smitten cat food. I had thrown out that tin just in case and she seems ok on a new tin of the same kind but still…

    Edit: Maybe? https://www.apog.com.au/recall-issue-log/smitten-woolworths/ I just did a bulk order 😭

    Her ears are still itchy so I’ll continue the drops for a few days and then use the ear wash very regularly, treating with Nexgard when it arrives. I’m not seeing any adult fleas but wish I’d got some Capstar too. I’m still working on decluttering/storage Tetris so I can vacuum more easily, and slowly working my way through laundering all the cloth in the house. (This plus trying to maintain the other chores is breaking my balls.)

    I also did return yesterday morning looking for that sick orange cat. Didn’t see him. I wish I’d had the physical reserves to drop Melbcat home and go back for him immediately. The council says they don’t take cats unless they’re already contained so I’ll have to trap him myself.

    So I’m now facing the prospect of actively stalking the ginger ninja when I am able to and trying to trick him into the carrier without being bitten or scratched (massive infection risk). Then wheeling him on foot to emergency and scrubbing the plastic carrier down with hot soapy water and/or bleach afterwards. Because I don’t have F10 veterinary disinfectant. Assuming I can run into him by chance again. He would have to be wheeled down there right away too because I can’t let him stay with my own cat.

      Warms my heart to read about you trying to help ginger ninja. Also as soon as you order bulk cat food, something will be wrong (recall, expiry, cat food refusal ). Every time……

        I took another quick walk this morning… not a hair of him. Maybe I need to wait until the sun is out a bit more. I feel like shit that I had to walk away.

        So I’m finding :'(

    The bloody postie just delivered a package for next door to my place. It’s just me home, I don’t know this neighbour, and I can’t go 2 minutes without sputtering like a truck engine from the 1930s

    Ironically his parcel says “SIGNATURE ON DELIVERY REQUIRED - DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED” but that’s exactly what he did

      It’s ok Baku. When the neighbour has come home, pick up the package, knock on the neighbour’s door and say “the postie left this at my door. I believe it belongs to you”. Hand the package over, turn and walk away. It’s good practice. No need for a conversation.

        I think he’s out at the moment, so I just walked over and left it at his door. It’s a safe neighbourhood, so there’s not really any risk of porch pirates. I did take a photo and left feedback on the Auspost website though

        I did also have a package coming today that was due at the same time, and after checking the tracking apparently meant to be delivered by the same bloke, but it hasn’t arrived yet and wasn’t at the neighbours door (I thought perhaps he mixed up the parcels), so now I’m wondering what the hell’s happened to it
