    Good news (she said cautiously) after being very wobbly and actually wanting food but refusing everything, Sammi actually got back on the bed and had a nap, then after giving me some purrs and snuggles, she was much steadier when she got down and ate with appetite. Not the normal amount but she gave it a good go.
    I’m much more hopeful now - earlier on I thought I was going to have to phone the vet tomorrow and have the ‘is it time?’ talk.
    Crossing fingers for continued improvement!

    It used to be that people had holidays in Australia and notably mostly within their own state as travel was too expensive.

    Now holidays within Australia are too expensive so people go overseas.

    I downloaded the Inspector Gadget cartoon thinking it’d be great to watch.

    Except I didn’t realise that if you had a crummy youth, nostalgia just brings back all the fear you used to feel.

    No more nostalgic stuff from childhood for me. Never occurred to me before that this is something that might happen.

    Gratefully, that time is long ago now.

    source
    • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s amazing how triggers can lurk for decades totally unknown to you that they even exist, until one day they happen. Stressful childhoods are a life long affliction. I’m envious of people who had pleasant childhoods. It’s a life cheat code.

      source
      • Eagle@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        It shouldn’t be a privilege to have a childhood you need to recover from, but it is.

      • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah I honestly didn’t think about it. That a show from when I was a kid would bring up a bunch of shit.

        Can only make good memories now and moving forward. That’s the way I see it.

    What a beautiful day. I bought another backpack. Got trapped in the car listening to modern music which felt like hours but infact was only 40 minutes.

    source
  • bull@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Felt gross so I’m hydrating like a mofo today. I think maybe that was the issue.

    No adventures for me this weekend either. Staying put and keeping it really low key. Trying not to get too much in my own head about things progressing. I’m scared but also excited. I’ve spent so much time on my own for way too long that I just hope I can come back from it without being weirdo… well, the weird kind of weirdo anyway I’ve always been a goofy weirdo.

    I used to love sleeping with my arm giving me support underneath my head and neck but my shoulder just won’t tolerate it anymore.

    source
    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Same!! My shoulder really started acting up last year and I only got some relief when I was housesitting for someone and used one of those memory foam pillow things. I bought one for myself and it seems to have done the trick. I’d been sleeping with my arm under my head since I was a kid.

    I regret to say that film was absolutely not worth going out for and I wish I’d stayed home and gone to bed earlier. Oh well. At least it was a direct tram to and fro and no traffic on the way back. Almost home. Some buscopan and chamomile tea and bed asap. Goodnight.

    Y’all enjoying the glorious day outside and meanwhile I spent most of it asleep. Dead to the world till 10am, dozed off several times from 1 to 4 pm. I think I just really needed to rest for my immune system to recover. I’m glad I did, as I don’t feel as off as I did yesterday. Zero caffeine today as well which was probably needed.

    My tomato plant that kept going all winter has finally truly carked it, I think (well that’s what I said at the end of summer but then it found new life somehow). I harvested about 15 little cherry toms and they were DIVINE - bursting with sun-ripened sweetness. Chopped em up with sardines and had them with a fried egg on toast, that was a very satisfying brekkie. Think I’ll have another crack at growing a tomato plant (or two?!) this coming season even though I don’t always have great luck with them.

    Tomorrow I have decided I will head into the main uni library and hunker down there. Free parking nearby so I can stay late if needed. No distractions unlike at home. I feel a lot less glum about it knowing I’ve had plenty of rest today.

    Had a nice pub lunch and then went to the cinema to see Deadpool and Wolverine. What a glorious day, feels like very positive spring vibes… makes up for the sinus issues I had during the night. My nose started running and just would not stop until early this morning.

    Spent half the day in the garden. Mowing, weeding, fertilising, whippering and snippering, pruning and so on and so forth.

    Had a nap, a kebab for lunch and Viet Spicy beef noodle soup for dinner

    Lounging with some drinks and watching a flick with the fam (may have puffed some magic herb too)

    Movie Review. Live and Let Die. 1970s Bond movie with Roger Moore.

    a Bond Blaxploitation movie en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaxploitation

    I like how Black Americans* ( insert latest phrase ) are masters of their own lives, they make choices

    But some of the racist and bigoted depictions of people made me gasp.

    Just had to remind myself that this is pulp fiction/men’s sex adventure genre, it’s not high art.

    The motor boat chase was really excellent and Bond was a good detective, he solved the case and also kinda saved the girl.

    I don’t care what Paul McCartney said, the song is lame …lol. Maybe his voice is too sweet.

    Nice and warm today. Haven’t had to use the heater. So strange after it’s been so cold for the last month.

    Trying to de-stress today but still going through some dramas.

    I’ve had my coffee for the day. I think itd be foolish to have another, even if it was an instant coffee.
