Thanks everyone for the kind wishes :)
Not even the concrete saw that’s cranking across the road can get me down. For now lol
Goodnight all ❤️

Melbcat’s results are back and she does have a uti still and it is enterococcus. Vets have finally given in on the antibiotics and agreed to an extended course. I’m hoping it’s ready by tomorrow.
She’s allergic to one that would be effective but thankfully there’s one or two that might still work and I’m hoping the long course will be effective on the bacteria sheltering in the bladder lining 🤞

Presentation went well despite not feeling 100% (run down and tired from crap sleep) and being nervous throughout. The show must go on, so I did my best. Just couldn’t shake the nerves today. I think I did enough to convince the people in there that I’m someone they could work with, that’s what matters at the end of the day. And I had a few people stick around afterwards asking questions and taking my business card which I think is a good sign. We’ll see what comes of it.

A win is a win!! Well done on getting through it despite those obstacles :)

Well done on getting through it - they get easier with practice!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 hours ago
I sent them a screenshot of my police check.
I’ve been completely transparent, taken responsibility and I haven’t had a single issue in 9 years.
There’s still a 50% chance they’ll knock me back though.
I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but it’s hard not to.

So if you want another years of Windows 10 support you can activate an Extended support option in Settings > Updates and security > Windows Update > Then in the middle of the window there’s the extended support option, choose to backup settings to make it free.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 hours ago
There seems to be all these weird sneaky ways to get extra support for Windows 10. Of course there’s one answer to not have to worry about Windows support at all
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 1 hour ago
Oh for sure, but I can’t be stuffed rolling the OS over to linux yet. Bazzite seems the way to go for my gaming rig. Kushner buying EA killed BF6 for me which was the only reason I had to use windows11 so fuckem. Plus I heard that the TPM settings required in bios make dual boot a drag so double fuck em.

Across the road there’s a share house. On days like these they sit in their driveway with shirts off, mullets flowing, drinking with not a woman in sight. I call it the Bro Club. Binoculars come in very handy.

Gawd needed that sleep.
Don’t have to deal with little meltdowns from ol’ girl for the next 2 days. Takes its toll that’s for sure. Some of them are head scratchers… like refusing to get on the scales (she has to), then turning around and saying the only reason she’s not gaining weight is because I’m not feeding her enough to get rid of her. Then come dinner, little meltdown about her not wanting to put ensure in her food and that we’re bullying her. She’d be sub 40kg easy w/out it.
The real head scratcher is she has all her memory, knows what’s happening but just refuses very easy things that’ll help. It’s a very weird form of incident dementia. You could easily just pass it off as just being old and grumpy and I’m sure a lot do. Thankfully ol’ boy finally agrees w/ me that that’s what it is. Doesn’t change much except at least it’s an explanation. Viewing it through that makes things bit less frustrating.
Lotta stigma there, so I can see why ol’ boy is reluctant to get her into a neuro as it’d just be upsetting and yet another lengthy process for her. For me it’d be good know definitively but I’m done locking horns about that now.
But shit’s stable, ignoring the meltdowns and just gonna keep doing what’s working.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
Yeah, personalities change. Stubbornness, even rage. :( It’s really hard.
Maybe get her one of those comfy hanging egg chairs but sneakily suspend it from a luggage scale? Or hide a weight-remembering scale under her seat cushion? I KID, I KID.
For serious though you may be able to sub in neutral Ensure or protein powder for part or all of the milk powder in cream stew and it might not be noticed. Maybe even add some actual cream right at the end as well. Just don’t let her catch you doing it 😏

Dementia support forums might also be really helpful and supportive during this time.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 6 hours ago
Dementia has some really weird effects on people, especially in how their personalities and thinking can change.
You’re doing an amazing job looking after your mum, in really difficult circumstances, and I hope you get the chance to unwind and have some time to yourself

my MIL would rather die than accept my help,
then she phones other people to say I’m awful and won’t help her
she refuses to accept she is old and has had hip and knee operations, she’s 86, she won’t stop driving, she won’t use her cane, she won’t get rails or ramps put in her house, and she won’t let me, or anyone else help or do things
I understand pride and am sensitive but when she is actively mean and lies about me, and she has done it for decades, then I kinda don’t care anymore
I suppose what I’m saying is that even in old age and being infirm personality is a big factor on outcome

It’s glorious out here. Watching the Raven family wander around. Little Raven juveniles are very demanding.

Fun night at work last night, computers said NO so I had to write everything down on paper instead. Then my pen said no too, snapped in half and all its insides fell out. It’s just hard to find good help these days.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
Another interview done and moving to the next round!
Have another later this morning which is the one that I discussed the police check with.
Let’s see how it goes!

So apparently I’m grinding my teeth less during the night, if at all, according to my partner. Which is good! I’m not waking up with god awful headaches.
But I’ve replaced it with clutching my doona causing tendon and muscle pain in my hands 🤦♀️
I win some, I lose some 😂

Ode to Percy Bysshe Shelley
I read Ozymandias, it was very long
longer than the long long song in hop on pop
I can’t remember what it was about,
it was a long time ago and I have forgotten
you were totes awesome in the OG Frankenstein movie
Byron stole the stage, he always does
so much BD energy he limps
but just like Mozart you shagged the little sister too,
Byron never did that
I stole your pome yesterday, to a Skylark
and put in some modern argot, it turned out ok 🙂
I never do know how to pronounce your name
is it Per-cee or Per-se

Roadworks from 10pm till 5am for another 2 and a half weeks.
Hard to block it out when it shakes the fucking house.
Fuckers. When I was in Cheltenham and they were doing this they offered to put me up in a hotel.
But this area isn’t fancy enough it seems.

Got home late tonight because a) some people were trying to get food after the Meetup but everything was closed and b) buses replacing trains. Had a lovely chat with PSOs who were very kind in walking me to my car. They told me I should’ve texted the stop it line for the guy last week, or even just pressed the red button. I thought the red button was for when someone’s life is at danger, not a guy being a nuisance and making people feel unsafe.
