Melbcat is going back to hospital for iv fluids. But it’s not looking good.

Edit: They’re saying it’s acute kidney injury from a uti on top of the chronic condition so they’ll try to clear it. One vet was pessimistic and the other optimistic so I really don’t know.

I think they’re each talking about short term vs long term outcomes. The hospital is trying to clear up the resistant infection in hopes she can recover from the acute kidney damage (though the chronic damage is permanent). They may stabilise her this time, I really hope so, but as the pessimistic vet said this could become a cycle and then it’s a question of how far to take it.

There are some people at the vets consulting on a 57 year old cockatoo.

Turns out the insurance company and the dealership have very different definitions about what "delivering" a car is. Last minute dash in the pelting rain from Frankston to Preston (and a dealership I would never, ever choose because wow) and Yasi the grey i30n is home with me. Last second worry aside, I definitely came out on top and tbh, would recommend Budget Direct to anyone who needed car insurance. Cannot believe how unbelievably kind, upbeat and friendly everyone I spoke to was, across multiple teams. Happy to be DONE with this!!!

Alone time dins:

Now the question that keeps me up at night is where should the tomato go. Above the lettuce but below the patty, or above the patty potentially inundating the top part of the bun.

It's new car day!!! Yay!!! Pity it won't be delivered all shiny cause of the rain, but I'm still just so excited for this whole saga to come to a close!!

Made it down the bellarine w/ about 10mins to spare until it poured.

EVERY downpipe was overflowing. Walked around the downpipes and PANIK.

Flushed the system when it was shitting down and that fixed most of it.

I use Google photos to backup my pics and every now and again it'll give me something like this.

Big thanks to everyone yesterday for the advice and support.

Gonna take a breather and head down the bellarine and look at gutters / downpipes in the rain. Seems about the most productive thing I can do atm.

YESSS

one more nagging task done 👍I can do this. 🙂

also, as part of my UnKAOS I am catching up with health and self care, sooo, do all the allergy testing before I go on a weight loss diet seems the sensible thing to do

weight loss will help with so much and allergies are making me miserable

Welp… the restless anxiety energy is back even though my body is exhausted. I managed to get stuck into cleaning but after a while Melbcat started crying and howling until I lay down for a cuddle.

Also it’s been determined my own roof is fine - it’s the roof of my neighbour that’s allowing ingress and led to my ceiling cavity being flooded when it rains. Unfortunately these neighbours wouldn’t talk to me and may not speak English so it persisted for years and led to a mould problem. But the managers will deal with it now.

This may lead to works :(

I made quinoa. I think I have had it before but thought it was another type of cous cous. I cooked it in my rice cooker with a sprinkle of Vegeta. It was very good. 5/5 yum yums.

dinner

Fuck my lifeeeee I got home and realised I left my keys in the lock of my work locker (yes including my home keys) 😭😭😭 heading back to work now

Today's to do list:

1. Take Miss Meow to the vet for her checkup.
2. Maybe do a bit of gardening if the weather is ok. Or just whatever I feel like really.

Powers out. Just had a chat to PowerCor who are on site. Lightning melted the transformer - might take a while eh

Wow, the UPS I ordered yesterday is being delivered today. Impressive.

What's the difference between a golf ball and the g-spot?

Went for a walk and saw one of the neighbours. I smiled and waved and was ignored. Turns out they are not happy and called the council because cockies are eating our street tree and making a mess on the footpath. Our dog also likes to bark at her dog and she started yelling at him yesterday. Never done that before.

Skies darkening rapidly, red radar blobs heading my way, here we go.

Big thunder and rain. Everything very wet.

Better stuff some tissues under your door, the rain is here

brain stuck

I will just go thru my to do list

My dog is gonna crack the shits any minute now. ⚡
