Another year, another 'Rod run' car show down here where people show off they're stupidly exxy hot rods. Some of them are absolutely bonkers. Sounds like they're hooning at the start of the bellarine highway but in reality they're probably the most careful drivers on the road heh. Definitely worth a look if you're into that sort of thing. I'm not but it's impressive how much coin and time they put in. I wonder how many of them have aircon cause tm will be brutal if they don't.

Had a whole wedge of cheese bang on it's best before date last night and no cheesemares so that's nice.
I'm thinking we go to a shopping centre this afternoon to escape the heat, and I've also been trying to pick up some of the cheap nick-nack shit Kmart has on clearance, but balancing where everything is in stock has been a headache
Cat medical
The Melbaby got a day to decompress and then we went to the usual vet yesterday… her blood pressure kept climbing from stress so the next thing is a home visit. Hopefully that’s easier on her so we can get an accurate read and do something.
I’m told that her eyes seemed ok or at least the things told to me seem better than the emergency doctor presented them. And she’s eating. Avoiding obstacles. But I’m still noticing some vision problems. I had to move a shifted water bowl back into position in front of her and audibly tap the edge. I’m not seeing her usual quick curious glance.
Housing
I’ve been told of another housing option but the organisation has a bad reputation. From my observations of the local place “run” by them it’s well deserved. And reviews mention them not addressing prolonged violent antisocial behaviour against other tenants - which is what I’m trying to avoid.
I don’t know that I trust them. I’m not trying to uproot my whole life only to end up in the same situation or worse.
TW suicide
I’m struggling with how hard and unforgiving and never ending life feels and really struggling to function in a basic capacity. Wishing I had the guts to end it. Been feeling that way for a long time.
Melbcat is my rock and my anchor. I’m not going to be able to handle it when she passes especially having to make that decision. So I think that is going to be a really high risk time for me.
so many hugs
and get a kitten. Melbcat will have someone to teach cat things to and to care for, it will be her cat legacy ❤️
I think she’d be really stressed with a new cat, and she has chronic cat flu that she could transmit.
It’s a shame. I did think about fostering kittens for her to play with but it’s a gamble and I’m actually not sure about my capabilities anymore or about bringing them into my situation.

I miss the jam donuts from Preston Markets. Actually, I miss fresh donuts in general, they don't seem to be a thing in Perth.
Yeah can I get aaaaaaaaaah, some fruit?

Shopping is done. Now the veg out begins. 🍠
Played the Cure on Spotify and the autoplay has just been fantastic: Radiohead, Portishead, Mazzy Star, the Smiths and whole bunch others and now Billy Idol is singing me off to sleep.
Sweet Dreams, fam…
Absolutely love mazzy star. Been ages since I listened to them.
I was a metal head in high school until my high school girlfriend got me into Jeff Buckley and mazzy star.
Ah, well she did you a good deed. Aww, Jeff Buckley, such a tragedy. I wore out Grace to death and it took me forever to get into Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk, but oh…
They were such great time for music.
I haven't listened to Sketches yet. Might give it a go today v
