      I quit smoking at around 2011. Then last year for some dumb reason I got addicted to vaping :-(

    I let lil bro walk through the house once more.

    cleaning

    Vacuumed and sprayed Glen 20 over his path again. Either this works or I’ve really screwed myself over and have bigger problems. I should have bought those plastic carpet runners but didn’t expect to do this. Wondering how effective carpet cleaner machines are against anything infectious… I used to have a carpet steamer I got rid of but that wouldn’t get hot enough. I haven’t begun trying to apply the cream because I haven’t had a chance to inspect him with the lamp. I seriously need a longer extension cord.

    fretting

    I’m unnecessarily stressing myself out when already in a bad state and am so not ready for another pet. He won’t accept being an inside kitty. It’s also costing money. But when someone suggested it might be time to trap him in the house and call the rescue contact to take him and try and find him a foster placement I felt so bad about sending him away. At least letting him check out the house makes it easier to trap him if he needs medical treatment or his outdoor situation is no longer working and he needs to be adopted. Situation still in limbo. I’m torn. Waiting on a Halo brand scanner to see if that will pick up a microchip. It’s still budget but a more reliable brand. I should have spent the extra money to get it from the site that sells to vets… Fingers crossed ebay doesn’t send a counterfeit.

    mourning

    I’m still thinking of Melbcat a lot. I spent most of today just struggling emotionally and sleeping. I’m in a bad way. Thinking about how she died towards the end of summer so she got to soak up those last window sun rays. She loved summer. But now I don’t get extra affectionate winter cuddles. It’s so strange to not be spooned then gradually pushed out of bed. The house feels empty without her and extra bare with the cleaning I’ve done. We were so bonded it feels like I’d had her forever and then she was gone in a blink of an eye. I haven’t even begun to deal with it.

    Just lost to my 20yr old self ghost on mario kart rainbow rd.

    Gawd I was killing it back then.

    Had big plans for a big spring clean but have spent most of the weekend crashed. Keep falling asleep. Finally made it out for a walk and some groceries. Just how it is I guess. Have managed to restart a book I put down months ago and binge some slow horses so …that’s a win yeah?

      The last time I used those I wrecked my back playing Wii golf and couldn’t move for two weeks. Never again.

        They’re controllers for the nintendo Wii. Haven’t been used in well over a decade and still work :) It’s for the game night coming up.

    Vic Public Transport to be free for the month of April

    It’s the right thing to do, hopefully my already too busy and under-serviced line won’t be too much worse.

      I wish I could use this. Work is only 3 stations away just going off suburb names but my station is too far away to walk to and work is at the other end of the suburb. There’s a bus to my station but nothing to work, and it would be such a hassle to get the bike on there. I might try it once this week since it’s free to compare for time though

    Watched the Gatsby ballet last night. It was good, there were scenes and moments from the book that could be given more time through dance than what you get on the page. I’ve deliberately kept away from a lot of adaptations of it because I feel a lot of them miss the funny moments in the book, you could almost switch it up and make it a comedy if you wanted to, but it’s seen as this ‘big and important’ book that people overlook the jokes. The Great Gatsby could almost be done like Peepshow set in the 1920s.

    But dance isn’t the medium for that, they did a very good job running through the main scenes in the form they did

    I’m so happy transport is free for the month! How about more transport in more places to meet the demand?

    I miss Japan transport. But that’s a country with over 100 million people. I just hate how car dependent we are. Not as bad as the US but still.

    Feeling so anxious and sad. I wish I could just harden up. Today will probably be chores or maybe veging

    source
    • SaneMartigan@aussie.zone ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Maybe harden up a little, but you don’t want to lose touch with your emotions and just be a robot person. Loss is part of life, you’re going through regular life stuff and sometimes that hurts.

    Movie review/special feature commentary

    12 Monkeys with Terry Gilliam

    awesome movie so when I found a special edition dvd I snapped it up

    I loved how Gilliam described how so much of the design was done on the fly, they filmed in a disused power station and they created sets and scenes around the giant building and machinery

    he describes how much the actors created their characters

    he’s very gracious
