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.
So sad, sorry to hear. Pets lives are too brief.
For real. We made the best with the time we had.
That’s a tough decision to make, but so good of you to not let the little one suffer any more. Sending you and the fam lots of love and warmth!
Thanks, she was getting so bad even the vets said it’s low chances she’ll make it. Wish I could have hugged her more.
Rough.
So sorry to hear that.
Thanks. The shock of it all took a lot out of us.
I’m so sorry. Melbcat will be squished
She deserves it :)
Big hugs. Be gentle with yourselves
Thanks, we are. A lot to process very quickly. Try to grieve in a healing way and focusing on the positive impacts the cat had on us and vice versa.
Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear.
So sorry for you and your fam. So devastating to lose one so young.
Thanks. Reality hit this morning when she wasn’t waiting at our bedroom door for her regular hugs and room inspections.
Oh gosh. Huge internet hugs.
My condolences ❤️
Thanks. Little dog better get some extra treats today.
I’m so sorry ❤️
Thanks.
I’m so sorry hugs
Thanks friend.
I’m so sorry, it’s such a hard thing to go through
It was bad. She was pretty young too. We’ll manage but the house is so empty right now.
Its the hardest thing to do. Mine have been hugged for yours ❤️🩹
Thank you. Hug them a few more times ;)
We/I are getting an admin/project coordinator for the team 🥳 I am so excited at the thought of having someone good at organising to help me! Happy Friday 🍺
Hip hip hooray 🍺
this is awesome 🍻
🎶I always feel like… somebody’s watching me
Oh that is just perfect. 10/10. No notes
I might change the eyes on the big one, the eyes with lids look better
Reminds me of this scene media3.giphy.com/media/…/200.gif
“I am indeed a fierce predator, however, I seem to have gotten the handle of this plastic bag around my neck. It would be in your best interest to remove it post haste!”
"I’m a big brave dog but balloons are scary and I hide behind my mummy when I see one’. 🐶
Our old dog (absolute runt that weighed 5kg soaking wet) would stand his ground against any other dog, but would yelp and cry at plastic bags in the park.
Just bought Clair Obscure, waiting for download. 😀
Enjoy the journey.
Eeeeek I hope you enjoy it!
Okayyy finalyyyyyy 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
🍺🍺🍺
We are gonna be in Reservoir tomorrow (for YL’s nails). Where should we visit? Food & leisure. Where can we find the best chilli? Etc
Hit up Aboulaban in Edwardes St for amazing baklava.
Thank you. ❤️
Edwardes lake park is nice, and there’s even a steam train to climb on
Good idea! Bird watch around the lake then pick up YL. 👍
Luke’s Bakery if you want banh mi.
There’s also an Italian bakery somewhere near there with good cannoli. Good cannoli at Preston Market too.
Got a decent sleep!!!
Mild headache from sleeping like a clown but eh I’ll take what I can get.
No gym today. It’s the last weekday of freedom before I lock into study and the full job hunt next week. Yeeha.
Stressful two weeks at work doing new complicated stuff. Also has been late shifts which always take it outta me. Almost there, TGIF
Pretty happy with my $30 aliexpress theragun.
so I looked up the original. $800!!!
Yeah, that’s what prompted me to try a cheap one.
They accidentally sent me an extra month salary. I’d love to keep it but the poor payroll officer would be fired in an instant.
Definitely a severance payment, wouldn’t second guess it tbh

Nearly there, nearly there, nearly there.

What should I make with this pile of diced goat? Not jerk/Jamaican curry. Has bones so not pie suitable.
Fucking got covid.
Big W dicked me around so I went to good old eBay as originally planned. Had the parcels sent to a nearby business for collection due to thieves 🙄
weekly planner has been taken out of the stationery box
i bought so many things knowing they were useful and would benefit
just took a while to get to that place
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.
Sky pretty
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.
I bought some stick on googly eyes
these are for some table lamps i bought a while ago, they are big white cobblestone shaped, I think they need googly eyes
“In an authoritarian state life feels normal.”
I’m listening to a very interesting podcast by an ex soviet citizen called Patriotism or Fear?
SKONG IS REAL youtu.be/6XGeJwsUP9c
Peertube… a fediverse video platform? 👀 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PeerTube
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
Today I threw away my slippers and started wearing my orthopedic sandals. Back feels a bit better already.

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.

so many hugs

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.
