    Gibson is going for an operation tomorrow where she’ll be under anaesthetic and tbh I’m pretty worried.

    It’s got to be done but yeah, fluffball is a real important part of my life and yeah. It’s stressful.

      Melbcat had a general anaesthetic for a tooth extraction at 14yo and pulled up okay. Tomorrow is never promised but I hope that’s some reassurance.

      Good luck to Gibson. If it’s a tooth extraction I was told to give mine chunks of cooked meat instead of soft wet food that could get into the stitches.

      Miss Meow bounced back from her general anaesthetic extremely quickly. She was back to normal the next day, much more resilient than Mr Woof who needed drugs and a cone on his head for a week.

    Unpopular (?) opinion: the two greatest TV shows ever are Iron Chef and Grand Designs

      I used to watch a lot of Robot Wars. Betting and demolishing. Such fun.

        Definitely good fun. I’m sorry but it’s not on the same level as my selections however

        I honestly thought about adding it to the list. I used to rush home from school to watch it on ABC. I maintain that my two are better though

    I’m sold on doing it that way now and not panko.

    Double frying which was scary in case you end up w/ a gumboot, but it actually worked.

    Three weeks done in new hard job type. Now additional support is removed BUT I’m not longer having these tasks sent to me as a high priority, so now I’m getting way more normal things in combination with the hard things which is very nice. It was like 1 in 2 and now it’s more like 1 in 10. Much more chill than first three weeks when it was just hard new thing all the time

    So far it’s all smooth sailing with using my friend to help me with some business design stuff. It’s much easier explaining what you want to someone who already gets the way you think. They also seem really excited to be working together again, we made a good work duo. So fingers crossed it stays all positive.

    beach

    I need that calming.

    the rhythms of the maintenance work around the beach, the fishermen, the bait catchers, people out for walks, joggers, dogs

    all the wild life, the tides and weather,

    being in it so many days a week you get to know it and get into the rhythm too

    it’s nice

    I wish it was more normalised to be single by choice, potentially lifelong. And there were more supports/safeguards for older people taking that path.

    Then again even being married and having kids doesn’t guarantee you care or advocacy in your final years, or that you won’t be in poverty, so it is what it is. /shrug

    Mickey is a little fiend for these dental treats, he absolutely loves them.

    I guess I’ll go to petbarn and grab a massive tub of them. They’re the only treat he really begs for 😂

      Good idea, sometimes buying in bulk is cheaper. And definitely hit up the specials.

      I’ve found sometimes if you let an item sit in the cart you might get a coupon

      Can you take a pic? Would love to get Fluffball away from what she likes currently (temptations)

      source
      • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        The brand is called Greenies, it’s dental treats for cats (they also do dogs but that’s irrelevant here lol!

        They have chicken, tuna, and catnip flavours. Mickey is a little demon fiend for the catnip flavoured ones 😂

    I used to leave my handbag in my car in the garage. Now that my car is in the yard, I bring it inside. That momentary of panic “Where did I leave it?” because I’d been out and about this weekend.

    Oh it’s there hiding behind the coffee table. Mother fucker. I now have a designated spot.

    source
    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Designated spots for things like that is very important. Especially keys, I don’t understand people that just throw them anywhere and then have to do a search every time they leave the house.

      source
      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        I’ve always hung my keys up in the same spot. I have taught YL the same after once having found her car keys in her handbag.

        Everything in my house has a spot and if that item is not there I lose my shit.
