  Weekend to myself. Fam is going down the bellarine (incl. bro/SIL/ankle biter and cat).

  Would be expected to organise / cook etc. and I’m just not doing that.

  Was hoping to head down this w/e and finish a choon I’m working on w/ the new ‘puter and really push the retirement fund (RAM lol), but not worth the stress.

  Surprisingly no guilt trip except from ol’ girl who’ll feel like she has to do all the things. Her food is sorted, the rest can fend for themselves.

  Instead gonna day drink and make gyoza / springers for xmas lunch. The best form of therapy.

  Wore a dress today, my white summer dress with OG Star Wars decals on it. I felt good and nice.

  Then I walked past a pub where a group of young bald men had spilled out onto the bike path. They saw me, I saw them, and as soon as I walked past them one guy turned around to face me and made a rather sexual noise right in my ear and face. I called him a “fucking ballsack looking cunt” and to “get out of my face”.

  It’s happened a couple of times, where I’ve chosen to dress particularly feminine and had something like this happen. It’s not everytime, but enough. Like, it’s summer and I just want to stay cool, that’s my main objective, my only goal when it comes to my summer wardrobe. Really, I think that’s all any person is trying to do when they put on a summer dress on a hot humid day. None of us are inviting anyone to make sexual noises at us in public.

  I’m just… tired. We’re all fucking tired of the behaviour of immature men.

  Regardless, I looked fucking cute as shit and I maintained a comfortable temperature lol

    I stopped dressing sexy at bush doofs for the unwanted attention it bought me. Mostly wasted sleazy gay men on ecstasy. I can take high doses of psychadelics in a chesty bonds bluey even easier than getting dressed up.

    source

    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It is interesting that the men/masculine people I have spoken to also have stories of this nature, that sleazy gay men do this - especially on eccies

      Some men are so gross I’m sorry you experienced that.

      Side note: having a J in my undies is the best no notes

    Star Wars dress sounds awesome. Ballsack can go be sweaty by himself.

    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It’s a great dress! Bought it years ago from target, and took the sleeves off, because they were too tight, and re-hemmed them. I need to redo it but it’s functional

      I’ll post a pic later, it’s my fav dress :3

  Hey lately I’ve been really in your face and a lot of unsolicited advice… sorry for that. It’s just an anxiety thing. Kind of trying to ‘protect’ other people. 🫩

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The great thing about advice is you can take it or leave it but you still learn from it.

    source

    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I just come on a bit strong so people might not realise they can leave it, or may choose not to open up for fear of being pounced on.

      I was raised by people who behaved like this

    I think the great thing about this place is we can all safely get stuff out in the open and all the advice (yours very much inclusive) is very much welcomed.

    It’s a really nice corner of the web that you are very much part of :)

    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Thanks. I’m just aware sometimes I fret and start trying to ‘herd’ people. Which could come off as controlling and make some people uncomfortable to share delicate things for fear of feeling judged.

  Tried to renew passport for my grandma so she can travel at least one more time to her home country. She makes so many excuses as to why she can’t go, but fuck that.

  The hardest part was getting into her email. We had to reset her password, and it was clear she hadn’t used a computer in many years. The site told her her password can’t be the same as her secret answer, and she said she didn’t know there was one.

  Anyway, passport application lodged!

  Cat health

  I forgot to mention that Melbcat still has her uti. It came back (or rather never left) after a 3 week blast of strong antibiotics that are only meant to be prescribed for 1 week max. I’ve been informed that the resistant bacteria could prove dangerous to me as well if they continue giving her antibiotics and they’ve decided to focus on symptom management. This fucking sucks. I briefly considered pursuing dodgy alternative medicine but it’s not worth the risks.

  source

  • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That sucks and I’m sorry. UTIs are notorious, I’m not surprised that the vets are concerned about antibiotic resistant bacteria infecting you, zoonotic infections can turn nasty so so quickly.

    If you trust your vets, then it’s worth following their advice. Otherwise you could try a second opinion.

    Do not use alternative medicine for melbcat. Cats have so many intolerances and ingesting something “natural” that may have (at minimum) pesticides on it can lead to neurotoxicity. Trust yourself and your support network (vets, nurses) and if you want another opinion seek another vet.

    You got this Melb, it’s gonna be alright and you’re doing great 💜💜

    source

    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I know they’re doing the right thing. I’m just scared of the infection spreading up to her kidneys.

      They’re focusing on her comfort and have said if she starts showing symptoms to bring her back in for a recheck. I’m just not sure what the plan is. Perhaps we can retry the antibiotic she’s allergic to and then treat the resulting issues.

      I won’t be pursuing alternative ‘medicine’. That was a moment of desperation and weighing the risks against her age. I’ve read up on the thing I briefly considered and it’s not worth it.

      I do have D Mannose which the vets have approved, but that’s only effective against E. coli and she has a different strain. The Cystapro (cranberry extract and probiotic supplement) was bought from the vet but I have no idea if it does much.

      I’ve bought some beef and will make her some broth to keep her drinking heaps of fluids.

  I think Time Math is my least favourite math I use daily.

  Money is like, base 10 yeah? Ten $1s in $10, Ten $10s is $100, and lovely round $20 and $50s. $5s are easy too. Base 10 is easy on our fingers, though you can also count to twelve with one hand, so base 24 at most? (Use your thumb as a pointer and count the spaces between each joint of your finger. 3 spaces per finger X 4 fingers = 12).

  Time Math is awful, with a base of 60. Trying to add 35 minutes to 4.50pm is like asking me to fly to moon with my own farts.
