I found some of my old sketchbooks from my early twenties… there’s not much there but it seems like I was actually fairly good back then before really learning anything.
I often just copied pictures I liked without knowing how to sketch but it was very detailed and somehow I copied hands (???). But now there’s resources available I’ve completely got the chokes.
Wish I could get that ability back

Weird neighbours aside it’s been a nice day. I spent it cleaning and hanging out with fur daughter. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ofjtX6NT-hY&pp=0gcJCdgAo7Vq…
She didn’t get me flowers or make breakfast but that’s because she’s not allowed near my credit card and can’t reach the stove.

They have come up near my door before! I think they know there’s cat food inside or maybe just curious

Otherwise maybe a warm drink or shower, a movie, a nap? Wrap up tightly in a blanket?
Let yourself shake if you need to

That’s so scummy. I hope he goes to jail, repeats that to a large group of the people he’s racist towards, and enjoys his reward…
It really sucks that I wouldn’t be able to do much to physically protect anyone in that situation

Tooth tmi, swearing
It’s the 4 or 5 day mark… try to get away with carefully nibbling a biscuit on the good side - I got away with it yesterday. Today a chunk immediately migrates to the wrong side and bruises the rim of the healing socket 😱 I’ve rinsed with saltwater and there doesn’t seem to be significant damage, touch wood. But that could have been a total disaster and still could cause issues especially with the risk of infection hovering. I can’t believe I let my guard down after being so careful. So stupid. You can’t get away with a damn thing here. Can’t trust shit. Fuck you biscuits (and self)

Thanks. Hopefully this is just a rough patch!

There’s a vestigial vet appointment for Melbcat today that I have to decide whether I’m going to keep. I’ll ring and ask.
spoiler
I might give it up for someone on the cancellation list because she’s just been and I’m mainly waiting to hear whether I can start giving antibiotics. I have some here. She needed extra pain relief last night so if results aren’t back soon I’ll probably just start what I have whether they say so or not. From the distinctive smell it possibly is one of those resistant nasty strains that usually do need the enro. I already had to delay her with pain relief through Tuesday while I had my tooth pulled. She was seen Wednesday but I had the dr myself Thursday and was only able to get a sample that night, which left me taking the sample in Friday… If that guy had just done the cysto on Wednesday the results would be in sooner.
I tidied a bit yesterday and did one load of laundry but there’s more to go then I have to wash the cups and sweep. Melbcat was sick in the wee hours this morning so I’ll soak that with enzyme cleaner.
My box of antibiotics with a few pills left has racked off into the ether so I’m just going to start the newest box. These are three times daily -_-
Between being careful of my sus tooth socket (which better not be getting infected) and my stomach function starting to shut down again I can barely eat anything. My mental health is crumbling.
I’ve woken up tired.
Bee butt

Oh damn, that changes things. I did wonder why she kept in such close touch with her ex (?) husband and in-laws if they were separated but maybe there was an element of control that I didn’t know about. Perhaps they threatened to go to court pursuing grandparents rights if she left and she tried to take out as many family members as possible to avoid them acting as flying monkeys.
I’ve now seen there was tension and ‘dad doing things to hurt mum’ but the article is paywalled.

If there were those little sausages in the beans (and maybe bacon bits) it would almost be approaching a deconstructed English Breakfast.
- Comment on Discussion Thread 🐨 Friday 9 May 2025 4 days ago:
I could go for that.
I used to microwave potat and then smash it with a fork and stir through marg/oil, salt and pepper, and paprika. Mash a mini tin of tuna in. Or I would fry the pieces to crispy and push them over to fry an egg.

I’m trying to work out what the motive was. Assuming it wasn’t accidental which it possibly wasn’t. What did she think she was going to achieve?

Open up laptop while phone is updating and immediately post to the old thread it was on. Good job. 😪 👍

This fatigue is debilitating -_- Fell asleep with the old kitten after doing her supper/meds and lying down for a brief rest. Was quite late with my antibiotics.
I’m watching the surgical site in my mouth closely. There was a hiccup early on but there are signs of healing… guess I wait to see if all goes well 🤞
The pumpkin vines are looking quite sad so I’m just leaving them and the tomatoes to finish up. I still haven’t had any energy to fill the compost bin and wondering if those will be fit to go in due to disease but I need to sort some higher priorities first.

Got a new vet today and he refused to perform cystocentis due to Melbcat having had 2 recently (?). Sent us home with pain relief to get a sample the traditional way despite how hard and unreliable it is with her.
Cut to Melbcat being very sooky and unwell tonight, getting a sample hours after closing but being unsure when she did it, and having to uber the dodgy sample in tomorrow while exhausted with no supports on. I’m going to ring the clinic on opening tomorrow and ask that antibiotics be dispensed when I bring it in because she absolutely has a uti.
If he had just listened to me she could have begun treatment tonight 😒
