Mental health
Grief > rage > slamming hand into wall. Yesterday was not a good day. Today isnāt either.
Cleaning
Iāve found a very cheap secondhand Woods lamp online and am having it delivered to a friend so it doesnāt get stolen. Stubborn patches of vom are still glowing under the torch after being cleaned twice so Iāve applied the cleaner again. Maybe itās because I rubbed excess off afterwards due to worrying about overwetting the carpet. Itās now been applied heavily and left to soak. But am wondering if it might be better to switch products. The pet shop ones are so powerfully overscented though. A very popular brand gave Melbcat asthma attacks and me headaches/migraines.
Chip scanners
Iāve now found $20 and $30 microchip scanners online but donāt know how reliable they are. Or how reliable Sir Gadabout is either. Havenāt seen him. Maybe I should calm my farm though and come back to this when Iām feeling better. He probably doesnāt need help and is simply doing the rounds. And the recommended brand of scanner is expensive. I just donāt like him running around without knowing if heās really ok, or him hunting birds. For now I just want to know if heās chipped.
