    Things Misha has yelled at me about today

    - I opened the curtain and disrupted her warm nest of sun and insulation. Ok that one’s fair - There was a big stinky turd in the litter box. It was hers. She’d just laid it. And while I was cleaning up that litter box she went and dropped another one in the OTHER litterbox because we have more than one cat so of course we have more than one freakin’ litterbox. - There was a turd in the other litterbox - While she was yelling at me about the turd situation Cerys climbed up on the sun-drenched dining room table. The entire table is in front of a north facing window and is sun drenched. It is six feet long. They are two foot cats.
    - I attempted to use logic at her re the whole dining room table usurpation. - Cerys continues to exist. A cat she has co-habited with since 2012. A cat who literally came out of her. A cat who only exists because she decided to get railed on the hood of our old datsun. This is my fault. - I slid her across the polished floorboards like a fat beige hockey puck. I regret nothing.

      I feel like Misha is perhaps the cat equivalent of a cranky chain-smoking nonna who is pissed off at the world (life is too hard and nobody understands), and at her son for still living off Centrelink (back in the 90s).

    I ordered some retro handhelds for the boys to get on Christmas shopping early. I got the R36s because I found it cheap and I’m pretty impressed.

    Buttons feel good, it uses Emudeck on the frontend so everything looks nice, and they even shipped with Stardew Valley on the SD card. It boots up, takes a while to load but it boots up. I know one of my boys in particular is going to love this once they get them

    We all know serving sizes are a lie. Here’s another one. You’re browsing the hair dye aisle because you have more grey than actual colour these days and it takes you awhile before you finally make a hopefully rightful choice. End result is NEVER what is indicated on the box.

    What are some other lies we are told?

      How good a maccas burger looks on tv and how big it is but in reality they’re super small.

      Just did mine as prefill for private health insurance came in (not that I earned enough this FY to get any tax benefits, but I keep it anyway just in case…)

      Income statement for my main job still not uploaded but idc the numbers match up and it should all work out. So off it goes.

      I’ve added extra deductions for car travel to uni and for some other safety gear I forgot that I’d bought in July last year. I should be getting about 970 back but that is after putting thousands into super that I have to start saving back up again as an immediately accessible emergency fund. I’m never doing two jobs at a time again without checking tax liabilities very carefully!

    So I’m finally done with the uni stuff for two weeks. I will have to find out what’s going to happen with the failed subjects. Might have to go to uni for an extra year which I’m not loving, but I feel like this is the only way for career progression, unless I do a trade. That’s unfortunately not happening because I’m not very mechanically gifted. But I’m going to stop worrying about what my life will be like in ten years time because I will trust that whatever happens, happens.

    Urgh. I was really sick last night. Stupid stomach.

    Melbcat seems a tiny bit uncomfortable again. Right as I was calling the vet to say she was feeling a bit better, but asking about the ibd flare possibility and dealing with it if this continues/comes back.

    spoiler

    They’re being professional about it but oh I can tell they’re really sick of being called. They were like oh great when I said she was improving and very eager to put the issue to bed but right as I said it I saw a little tension in her whiskers and purring. And a squint.

    I’ve agreed to monitor her and I guess this is probably mild… I’ve given her some meds to settle her a bit and am hoping everything will just be a blip.

    Art Of Rally is such a beautiful game. My only criticism is I wish it was better optimised and could run better on lower spec hardware. It doesn’t look demanding, but I’m sure it’s got a bunch of shaders going on that eat up processing power.

    Because it’s a game that deserves to be played at full settings, 4k60fps. I can do it on my big computer, but it would be great if others could experience full settings in this age of handhelds

    First day of freedom (for two weeks) and I played video games on a PC with a friend. Turns out cybersickness is a thing. I felt like throwing up. But besides that, it was kinda fun.

    The anxiety hasn’t completely gone away because of failing, and just worrying about my future, but I think the more I do stuff, the more I will be in the present.

    Before paying to have someone pick up my old fridge and freezer I decided to try Marketplace to give them away. It did not go well. Apparently “must be picked up ASAP today” is easily confused for “pick up maybe tomorrow” or “I’ll deliver to you tomorrow in Thomastown”.
