        Wife and I come from cultures where death and funerals are the most depressing things ever.

        We’re trying to change that.

        Kids have divided her toys between them and will make ornaments from them.

        My parents taught me that pets are family, not animals.

        Passing that sentiment along to my kids.

        We had a good dinner banter session about the cat. Made inside jokes and had some reflection (not intentional, just flowed).

        Everyone is in good grieving spirits.

    My predecessor at work has cracked the shits because I wouldn’t let her “just log on and do a few quick things”. Sweetheart, you don’t work here anymore. And your bookmarks and passwords aren’t magically still saved in the computer.

    source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      What quick things could she possibly want to do?

      source
      • underwatermagpies@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Apparently some licensing stuff she doesn’t trust me with. Which she’s no longer authorised to do and which isn’t her problem.

        Honestly, she’s retired, I get that change is hard, but she needs a hobby or something. Move on. Read a book.

    Had to put our cat down last night. Poor little thing was sick all week, multiple vet visits and she deteriorated rapidly last night. Started as tummy issues but turned into a massive infection and didn’t respond to treatment.

    Absolutely devastated.

    Please hug your pets extra today.

    Oh the black cat is outside! And Melbcat insisted I open the door. Uh oh! (Screen door still locked.) Thankfully he didn’t approach so we didn’t get World War III. He’s a big fluffy puddin and looks chill. If the cats got along and I was richer he’d be at risk of a catnapping.

    I’ve stopped donating to the food pantry because money has got tighter (pensioner and cat getting sicker) and the local drop off point has closed.

    Also I saw the guy that’s been chronically and openly stealing from me down at the op shop near it, trying to get them to hold a flashy pair of shoes for him… So it’s possible the open pantry closed and the donations went somewhere more regulated because he (or someone else) was just taking the lot. Buying cigarettes and alcohol and fancy sneakers from what he could steal and sell, and eating from nearby free snack/meal services. And then still coming to my house to litter and steal my extremely limited foods anyway.

    It’s a shitty thing to say (I know about poor shaming and vulnerable people being dehumanised) but I’m really souring on people and it feels like any sort of kindness just gets you used. 🫩

    oh gees, I just finished watching the exsoviet video , he loves his people and country, he cried

    now I’m crying

    as some who has tried to help, who knows people who helped and are still helping,

    it’s just so very hard to help, to do anything

    all i can do is send everyday help to everyday people, and maybe that little bit of help will give people the knowledge there are others who are there, they are not alone, give them help so they are aren’t so stressed about money, and maybe that will help them have the strength to help themselves in the ways they know to be effective

    world is such a hard place 😢 I just don’t understand it at all
