    I was at the shopping centre earlier, paying for stuff at the fruit shop. I hear all this yelling and see a guy going nuts from a security guard confronting him over stealing something from a store. He starts knocking store displays over, hitting fruit and vegetables from displays onto the ground and was coming closer to me. I turn around and start pushing my trolley back from the register to get away from him. While I was turned around he picked up a giant pumpkin from an display and threw it right at the back of my head. This was a massive grey pumpkin, like a rock to the head. Now I’m sitting here with an ice pack to my head wondering why me. Thankfully no bleeding and I feel ok so far, just sore.

      Bloody hell.

      I’d definitely at the very least have someone check on you over the next few. Sometimes TBI’s can be delayed.

      Eeek! Please check in at the nearest emergency hospital - head injuries and swelling inside the skull take a bit of time to develop and can be devastating. Any nausea or funny light effects or dizziness or slurred speech - call an ambulance please.

      Basically, a serious head knock is equivalent to a stroke - needs to be checked out by professionals.

        I’m got an appointment with my local GP in 30 mins to get myself checked out. If they say I should go to the ER I will go. So far I feel ok, just sore and I can feel a lump.

      Holy shit! Yes that’s assault! I’m sorry this has happened to you.

      I would go to the ER and get checked out.

    • SaneMartigan@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      In an ideal world, the cops will probably get footage of the incident from the store cameras which will contain enough evidence for the assault against you and other crimes, that you won’t be required in court to make the case.

      That sucks for you. Consider there might be some whiplash or sore neck injury too.

      Re-watching familiar tv is recommended for concussion.

      What the fuck! That’s got to be assault. Glad you’re getting checked out. Hopefully no major damage done… it would be a good story to tell at parties. But seriously, hope the pain subsides soon and your brain and skull are ok.

      That’s nuts. I’m glad you got out of there.

      Really not good about the blow to the head though, I agree with everyone else to be very careful about that. Fingers crossed that nothing serious has happened.

      do you have to wash and brush him much?

      source
      • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        His coat can be a bit much. So many things get stuck in it lol.

        When brushing him he tries to groom me too at the same time too which is sort of funny and doesn’t help.

        He’s going into another bath tomorrow. There’s a love hate relationship with the bath.

    Breaking news: Miss Meow has trialled her window hammock. It was apparently a good place for some after breakfast grooming. She has now disapeared again, either for more box exploration or maybe just going back to bed.

    Mr Woof has also successfully navigated the dog door for the first time this morning. He’s now napping on my lap, which he fully deserves after the big day yesterday - it’s very stressful for a security dog to see a bunch of people tresspass onto your territory and steal absolutely everything.

    Didn’t get too wet out there, got through quite a bit, very satisfied. Geez I hope there’s more fieldwork coming up. When it’s easy and streamlined like this and out in the bush I’d happily keep going. Great for the mind and body.

    Now it’s time to get some cat love 🥰 it’s so nice having Sox at home although I feel like she’s thoroughly bored, poor dear. It is a claustrophobic, dark and small apartment, and there isn’t even anything interesting to look at out the windows! I can’t even play with her using her toys because there’s no room to move around easily.

      Maybe a cardboard box to hide in and peep out of

        She prefers gnawing off the cardboard, which is a bit of a pain to clean up on a carpeted floor…

        Hm that’s an idea, I know she still reacts to quick movements sometimes so I might find one for her. Then toss her a treat every so often so she feels like she’s had a reward

    I guess this new place is officially home now, just had my first delivery. Mr Woof was not impressed that someone dared to knock on our door.

    I now have a few new mugs.

        But I have carved out a few livable areas, and am working on getting a few more done. Having been able to set up things like the bed frame, dining table and fridge before I moved has definitely made a big difference.

    A Bunnings trip might be on the cards very soon, I’m going to need a lot more extension cords! And I still need to get numbers for the letterbox.

    I ordered a second remote for the garage door, which was not as expensive as I feared. I also ordered another security camera to go in the garage - I’m not used to having a remote opening door and I find myself fretting that it might be open any time I can’t see it. I know it’s silly, but it’s like when you have to keep checking you locked the door, my own minor touch of OCD.

    Our morning walk was a bit brisk this morning, but the sun is now coming out and it’s shaping up to be a very nice day. Miss Meow has found herself a very good hiding spot in the future sewing room - if she hadn’t had her eyes open I would not have known she was there. Mr Woof is still a bit unsure about the new dog door and needs prompting to use it. I thought the security camera might have some video of him using it this morning, but all you can see is my arse as I’m leaning over encouraging him, and the audio is all me going, “that’s it, push! push!” like a crazy dog door midwife 🤣

    I was today years old when I first tried Marmite. It’s milder than Vegemite, and almost seemed a bit sweeter? Possibly less salty? I didn’t mind it, but will be sticking with Vegemite for the stronger flavour I’m used to.

    This is going to sound weird but hear me out.

    Get your frozen strawberries, preferably with icicles on them, into a bowl.

    Microwave (mik-row-wah-vay) them part of your dishwasher is empty, so for about two minutes for me. You’re left with kind of soft strawberries and some “strawberry water”.

    Add a few tablespoons of yoghurt and mix. You now have a dessert that has the warmth of a pudding and consistency of runny custard.

    That’s disgusting, isn’t it…
